Luo, Dehong; Gong, Jing; Li, Yifei – Educational Studies, 2022
Readability formulae have been used to predict text difficulty, but their construction has been challenged. Previous readability formula designers typically adopted correct responses to reading comprehension questions (RCQs) as dependent variables, but they did not assess the effect of linguistic predictors concerning RCQs in the formula. Thus,…

Wright, Daniel B.; Wolff, Sarah M. – Journal of Cognitive Education and Psychology, 2022
How much people believe that they understand information, so-called metacomprehension, is important for education. This ability to discriminate between well-learned versus not well-learned information is important to allow the student to decide which areas need further understanding. Feedback can affect metacomprehension and is important for…

Numerous surveys have revealed high levels of infringement of what appear to be clearly stated rules. Less attention has been given to students' understanding of academic integrity, and to the potential…

Wong, Mun – Early Years: An International Journal of Research and Development, 2022
Children could internalise blame for a death, suffer as much grief as adults, and express as much emotion as adults. Research on young children's perceptions of death has been conducted primarily in Western cultures. This paper is an exploration of Chinese 5-year-olds' understanding of death. Data analyses are mainly based on children's drawings…

Bratlie, Siri Steffensen; Brinchmann, Ellen Irén; Melby-Lervåg, Monica; Torkildsen, Janne von Koss – Review of Educational Research, 2022
Knowledge about the smallest meaningful units of language, morphemes, is crucial for vocabulary and reading comprehension. This meta-analysis of 43 studies examined differences in morphological knowledge in the societal language between language-minority and language-majority children. There was a moderate to large mean group difference in…

Popescu, Anisia; Noiray, Aude – Language Learning and Development, 2022
Until at least the end of adolescence, children articulate speech differently than adults. While this discrepancy is often attributed to the maturation of the speech motor system, we sought to demonstrate that the development of spoken language fluency is shaped by complex interactions across motor and cognitive domains. In this study, we…

Butler, Whitney Sommers; Hord, Casey; Watts-Taffe, Susan – TEACHING Exceptional Children, 2022

This article argues for the importance of…

Slabbert, Carla; de Lange, Rudi W.; Mason, Henry – Cogent Education, 2022
There is some evidence suggesting that emotional design, such as anthropomorphised graphics, facilitates learning. However, a growing number of studies are reporting that anthropomorphised graphics have little to no significant effect on learning. In light of the debate in the field, this article reports on a study that investigated the effect of…

Riegel, Kaitlin; Evans, Tanya; Stephens, Jason M. – Assessment in Education: Principles, Policy & Practice, 2022
Self-efficacy is a significant construct in education due to its predictive relationship with achievement. Existing measures of assessment-related self-efficacy concentrate on students' beliefs about content-specific tasks but omit beliefs around assessment-taking. This research aimed to develop and test the Measure of Assessment Self-Efficacy…

Smith, Shelby L.; Ward, Richard T.; Allen, Laura K.; Wormwood, Jolie B.; Mills, Caitlin – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2022
In today's society, we are constantly absorbing information via text (e.g., news, social media), much of which may be affectively charged. However, to date, little is known about how the affective framing of the text itself may give rise to various affective experiences "during" reading. We examined how subtle changes to wording…
