Attention and executive function (EF) dysregulation are common in a number of disorders including autism and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Better understanding of the relationship between indirect and direct measures of attention and EF and common neurodevelopmental diagnoses may contribute to more efficient and effective…

This research is intended to study the outcomes of analytical thinking and curiosity derived from the virtual smart classroom using the cooperative problem-based learning; thereby the said virtual smart classroom is a research tool initiated from the integration of the problem-based learning and the cooperative learning coupled with the aid of…

Background/purpose: Insufficient integration of local history into the national curriculum has resulted in students' limited understanding of their regional cultural identity. In Ciamis Regency, the Kagaluhan values embedded in Sanghyang Siksakandang Karesian (SSKK) hold great potential for character education but remain underutilized in history…

This study explores talent-development trajectories of early-career chemical engineers to identify key components for success in the field using the talent development megamodel as a theoretical framework. Interviews with 12 recent PhD graduates reveal a trajectory across four developmental stages: (a) math ability and science ability, (b)…

Resilience in families of autistic children and children with intellectual disability is associated with factors such as family functioning, social support, and financial strain. Little is known about family resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic when many resources were limited. This study examined the association of family resilience with child…

This 10-year study followed 134 caregivers of young adults with autism and intellectual disability, examining the effects of caregivers' coping strategies, sociodemographic features, and young adult symptomatology on caregiver well-being and depression.
