Students encounter hundreds of word problems throughout the elementary grades and on standardized assessments through high school. To demonstrate proficiency on these measures of mathematics competency, students must be skilled in solving word problems. Early detection of word-problem difficulty is essential, and screeners play an important role…

Background/purpose: This paper systematically reviews current advancements in AI-based diagnostic tools and assistive technologies, analyzing their influence on the early detection, treatment, and educational support of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). The review aims to identify both the benefits and challenges of incorporating these…

Early identification of schools with a high percentage of students at risk of learning poverty is crucial for effective and targeted interventions. This study investigates the use of an innovative combination of large-scale administrative datasets and advanced statistical techniques to predict schools at risk of learning poverty in Italy in the…

Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies especially generative AI (GenAI) are promising to support the digital transformation of education system. This study investigates how university students and research scholars across Science, Social Science, and Technology disciplines utilise AI technologies for tasks such as…

For 4 years, the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) has collected and analyzed early literacy screening assessment data from schools and districts that participated in targeted state grants. In 2023/24, the 1st year that screening was required for all kindergarten through grade 3 students statewide, data were…

Yearly, thousands of international students seek the United States to further their education, bringing cultural and financial capital into the country.

Organizational identification has gained popularity in the organizational sciences and has important implications for the experiences of new undergraduate business students. Researchers have focused largely on how characteristics of organizations influence organizational identification, but limited work has explored how characteristics of the…

People with visual impairments use a wide variety of sensory information to understand the world around them. Many persons who are visually impaired (i.e., those who are blind or have low vision) use some form of echolocation to monitor the space around them. This process of identifying the properties of an object may be referred to as…

Schools are unique institutions where structural and cultural dynamics shape the actions of humans. Power is everywhere, and the structures of schools channel power in ways that shape the identities of teachers. Yet, teachers find ways to challenge existing dynamics and in their confrontations with power can create new ways of being. This study…

This study investigated the utility of four WAIS-IV Digit Span (DS) indices (traditional Reliable Digit Span [RDS], RDS-Working Memory [RDS-WM], RDS-Revised [RDS-R], and DS Age-Corrected Scaled Score [ACSS]) as embedded performance validity tests (PVTs) among a sample of 342 consecutive adults referred for neuropsychological evaluation of ADHD.…

The assessment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is based on semi-structured procedures addressed to children and caregivers. Such methods rely on the evaluation of behavioural symptoms rather than on the objective evaluation of psychophysiological underpinnings. Advances in research provided evidence of modern procedures for the early assessment…

Civic engagement is important for individual and collective development, and may serve as a means of collective agency for Black people. However, few studies have examined culture-specific factors that promote civic engagement among Black populations. In the current study, we use survey data to examine how racial identity dimensions (racial…

Early failure to learn writing skills might go unnoticed and unremedied unless teachers adopt specific strategies for identifying and supporting students who learn at a slower pace. We implemented a Response to Intervention (RTI) program for teaching narrative writing. Over 18 months from start of primary school, 161 Spanish children received…
