Purpose: We hypothesize that alphabet learning during early childhood matters for reading and spelling in alphabetic languages. In this preregistered study, we conceptually replicated and extended work on children's alphabet learning trajectories and associations with Grade 1 outcomes. Method: Preschool-aged English-speaking U.S. children (n =…

Background: Aphasia, a communication disorder mainly resulting from stroke, poses challenges to the meaningful interactions between healthcare professionals and people with aphasia (PWA). Little is known about the knowledge and skills of Cypriot healthcare professionals when interacting with PWA in clinical settings. This study explores the…

This study analysed first-year preservice teachers' understanding of trigonometric equations at a South African university in the Eastern Cape province. We employed the Action-Process-Object-Schema (APOS) framework to analyse the mental constructions made by preservice teachers in solving trigonometric equations. A qualitative case study design…

In the absence of appropriate transition planning practices to promote a smooth transition process, successful transition from vocational education to post-school settings can be particularly challenging for students with disabilities (SWDs).
