The results are about one to two standard deviations below the average norm-values obtained in Western countries. The results are so low that they are sometimes difficult to believe. For example, in the World Bank collection, Nigeria scored 262…

Emma Degroote; Marie-Christine Brault; Mieke Van Houtte – International Journal of Inclusive Education, 2024
Teachers play a crucial role in the diagnostic process of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in students: They are often the first to identify ADHD-related behaviors in children and to signal them to parents. Research has demonstrated that the recognition and labeling of certain behaviors as evidential for ADHD by teachers vary with…

Purpose: Due to the distinctive characteristics of developed countries differentiating them from the developing countries, it is expected that there may be differences between developed and developing countries' levels of digital literacies. Considering the cultural differences and approach to the gender problem, it is important to see how these…

Hanushek, Eric A.; Piopiunik, Marc; Wiederhold, Simon – Education Next, 2019
Student achievement varies widely across developed countries, but the source of these differences is not well understood.

Research and common sense tell that good teachers can have a tremendous impact on their…

Rainey, Vanessa R.; Flores-Lamb, Valerie; Gjorgieva, Eva; Speed, Emily A. – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2020
Language brokering has been correlated with positive cognitive advantages, particularly in the younger years of translation. However, heavy translating has also been correlated with greater levels of psychological maladjustment. Fortunately, a cultural emphasis on family may reduce the adverse effects of translating. The current study examined…
