While working memory (WM) is a powerful predictor for children's school outcomes, autistic children are more likely to experience delays. This study compared autistic children and their neurotypical peers' WM development over their elementary school years, including relative growth and period of plasticity. Using a nationally-representative…

We investigated the effect of cognitive training of executive functions on children's cognitive outcomes. To address this issue, a systematic meta-analysis of published research articles on cognitive training interventions was performed considering children's age, training duration, -procedure, and -technology in moderator analyses. The results (N…

The present cross-sectional study examined some of the factors associated with psychological distress among students enrolled in Bachelor's and Master's programs. We investigated the roles of age, academic performance, creativity, cognitive flexibility, educational mattering, and anti-mattering and their roles when discussing participants'…

Cultivate a thriving classroom and reignite a love of teaching. Gain effective strategies to understand student behavioral patterns in relation to brain development. With thoughtful suggestions on how to implement and adapt proposed strategies as needed, K-12 teachers will create and manage a classroom environment that maximizes learning and…

The student's perspectives, their personal and professional aspirations are key factors that encourage their achievement of learning objectives during the development of the subjects of the educational programs. All this from Hermans' theory of the dialogic self, to understand how the processes of educational change are perceived, from the visions…

This study investigates vocational students' blended learning from the perspective of the extended Community of Inquiry framework (incorporating learning presence as the fourth presence), and examine the mediating role of academic self-efficacy and self-regulated learning (two constructs that we label "learning presence?) in the effect of…

This paper examines how school quality, measured by teachers' human capital, target setting, culture, tutoring, lesson plan, and outside classroom support, relates to student learning. Using panel data from Japan and exploiting within-student variation in exposure to school characteristics, the results show that these dimensions of school quality…

Background: Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is a teaching methodology that integrates learning subject content with acquisition of proficiency in a foreign language (skills), developing both linguistic and conceptual competence. The approach aligns with the recommendations of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which…

Background: Rehabilitation for cognitive-communication impairments following brain injury can be complex given the heterogenous nature of impairments post injury. Project-based intervention has the potential to improve communication skills and create a meaningful real-life context where individuals collaborate to develop a concrete product, which…

Motivation is a key factor for child development, but very few studies have examined child and family predictors of both child task and perceived motivation. Thus, the three aims of this 6-month longitudinal study in preschoolers with global developmental delays (GDD) were to explore: 1) differences between task and perceived motivation in…

Lifespan is a pool of stories that, in the beginning, sets the tone. It lays the foundation for students' long-life learning, attitudes formation, behavioral modifications, and shapes the trajectories of students' early childhood development (an important thread of United Nations Sustainable Development Goals Target 4.2 bedrock on "access to…

This study aimed to explore whether early developmental abilities are related to future executive function (EF) in children with motor delays. Fourteen children with motor delays (Mean age = 10.76, SD = 2.55) were included from a larger study. Object interaction and developmental outcomes (Bayley-III) were evaluated at baseline and 3, 6, and 12…

Heavy content, high volume courses commonly create challenges for undergraduate students. Two such courses at our university are the introductory semesters of anatomy and physiology for first-year nursing students, taught by biology instructors. Despite the vast literature indicating the efficacy of using concept maps as a tool for learning, it is…

Students who are identified as gifted have academic, social, and emotional experiences that are informed by both their cognition and their identification. Similarly, highly able students who are overlooked and remain unidentified have extra layers of social and emotional complexity to negotiate. While the label should not uniquely define the…

This article is devoted to the organization of developmental education of students of higher educational institutions. Based on works by I. A. Zimniaia, T. I. Iliin, V. V. Kraevskii, G. M. Kodzhaspirova, I. Ia. Lerner, I. F. Kharlamov and other researchers, the authors clarified the concept of "developmental education of university…
