Students with or at risk of reading difficulties (RD) benefit from accurate early identification and intervention. Previous research has employed various decoding measures to screen students for RD, but the criteria for identification have been inconsistent. Assessing students with RD is especially challenging in English Language Learners (ELLs),…

In studies that assess perceptions of autistic people by non-autistic people, researchers often ask participants to review vignettes depicting fictional autistic characters. However, few studies have investigated whether non-autistic peers accurately identify these hypothetical individuals as being on the autism spectrum. Accurately ascribing…

This study evaluates techniques to identify high-quality teachers. Since tenure restricts dismissals of experienced teachers, schools must predict productivity and dismiss those expected to perform ineffectively prior to tenure receipt. Many states rely on evaluation scores to guide these personnel decisions without considering other dimensions of…

This study examines the impact of the discourses of the Presidents of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) on education policies. Education in the TRNC has been a crucial component of identity construction throughout its historical process, and the discourses of political leaders have played a significant role in shaping education…

This study examined the cultural identity and well-being of emigrated Hong Kongers amid sociopolitical changes post-2019. Utilizing constructivist grounded theory and art-based research, it involved four Hong Kongers who recently emigrated to the United Kingdom. A custom method called object-interview-object explored narratives through…

Academic misconduct is a prevalent issue in higher education with detrimental effects on the individual students, rigor of the program, and strength of the workplace. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have reinvigorated concern over academic integrity and the potential use and misuse of AI. However, there is a lack of research on…

Background: Assessing children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) and Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD) requires a clear understanding of how these conditions impact their daily lives. However, existing assessment tools are not systematically grounded in a theoretical framework, and there is a lack of consensus regarding the relevant…

A 2016 field study conducted in collaboration with the Houston Police Department reported that simultaneous lineups were diagnostically superior to sequential lineups, that confidence was strongly predictive of accuracy, and that high-confidence suspect identifications were highly reliable. The study also estimated that most lineups (65%)…

This study investigates preservice teachers' profiles of intrapersonal emotional competencies (ECs) and their associations with perceived stress, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion during the practicum. Three hundred twenty-six Belgian preservice teachers completed questionnaires on ECs, stress, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion. Latent Profile…

Children with poor reading comprehension tend to have oral language weaknesses, suggesting that poor language in the early years is a proximal cause of later reading comprehension difficulties. Yet, longitudinal studies have not succeeded in reliably predicting which children go on to have comprehension weaknesses (CW), and evidence comprises…

Creating and critiquing explanations of phenomena is a significant goal of many scientific disciplines and therefore also a learning goal of science education. A significant source of explanations is science textbooks; however, the large corpus of text in textbooks means that manual review of explanations by individual researchers is extremely…

Student's shift of attention away from a current learning task to task-unrelated thought, also called mind wandering, occurs about 30% of the time spent on education-related activities. Its frequent occurrence has a negative effect on learning outcomes across learning tasks. Automated detection of mind wandering might offer an opportunity to…

This paper explores the role of intersectional reflexivity in conducting an autoethnographic exploration of personal transformation within academic research. Using autoethnographic data from regular journaling, I illustrate my shift from a profoundly ingrained positivist research mode toward embracing alternative theoretical traditions that…

Predicting what we will remember and forget is crucial for daily functioning. We were interested in whether evaluating something as likely to be remembered or forgotten leads to enhanced memory for "both" forms of information relative to information that was not judged for memorability. We presented participants with lists of words to…

The proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI)-generated content, particularly from models like ChatGPT, presents potential challenges to academic integrity and raises concerns about plagiarism. This study investigates the capabilities of various AI content detection tools in discerning human and AI-authored content. Fifteen paragraphs each…
