Older individuals often rely on informal methods, predominantly familial assistance, to acquire digital technology skills. However, as the number of universities for older adults in China has increased, there has been a notable shift toward formal digital education. This study examines participants in smartphone training courses at Shanghai…

There is a growing consensus in research that children's numerical competence starts to develop at a very early age. However, there are few tools for screening the development of early numerical competence and thereby making this development researchable. One obstacle in designing such tools is that verbal utterances cannot be used as the primary…

Children learn the cardinalities of the first numbers one, two, three and four before they learn how counting tracks cardinality for all numbers. It may be that when children start to understand counting, they also discover how numbers relate to one another in a structured number system. Do children who understand that the cardinality of a set is…

Emergent literacy skills play an important role in the literacy development of young children. These include code-related skills, such as alphabet knowledge, emergent writing, phonological awareness, and meaning-related skills, such as verbal abilities, story retelling, and text comprehension. Such skills emerge gradually throughout childhood,…

This paper shows that effective reskilling can have profound mental health benefits for workers and their partners. Using institutional variation in access to higher education after work accidents in Denmark, we find that reskilling prevents one case of depression for every three injured workers. Strikingly, the spillover effects on partners are…

Clear learning goals are an integral part of instructional clarity and seen as a factor influencing students' motivation and learning processes. However, goal communication and the types of goals teachers set are rarely addressed in classroom studies. To further the understanding of these aspects, the purpose of this study was to investigate…

Authors Chepina Rumsey and Jody Guarino continue their advocacy for math-curious classrooms, building on their work in Nurturing Math Curiosity With Learners in Grades K-2. They argue that curiosity not only engages students but also invigorates them to reason and develop a conceptual understanding of grade-level mathematical ideas. Dive into…

Artificial intelligence (AI) applications, including machine learning (ML), have received attention in education, and generative AI-powered chatbots have been adopted in diverse educational settings worldwide.
