While the practice of collecting information from applicants' professional references is widespread, there is a paucity of research linking references' assessments of applicants to subsequent performance. In this paper, we examine the predictive validity of a specific type of reference-provided information: categorical ratings of teacher…

Developmental research on ownership understanding has focused on preschool years, with only a limited number of studies with infants. The present study with 19-month-old infants showed that after given information about an agent's ownership of a toy (she claimed 'It's mine!' before grasping the toy), infants, as a group (N = 66, 54.5% female,…

The process of determining whether a source of information is relevant is multidimensional, dynamic, and subjective. This essay puts information science scholarship on relevance, including the process and nature of making relevance judgments, in conversation with models of teaching and learning information literacy. Teaching librarians are…

When education leaders and others discuss staffing challenges in K-12 schools, they often focus on teacher shortages. In response, policymakers across the country have launched a range of initiatives to increase the supply of teachers. These kinds of initiatives may help attract more people to teaching. But they address only part of the problem.…

However, elementary students state that having trouble selecting a book is the number one reason they do not read more. The lack of students' ability to effectively implement text…

The DigiLit Framework suggests criteria for digital text and tool selection (content accuracy, intuitiveness, interactivity, quality) and integration (model a literacy skill or strategy, guide a literacy skill or strategy, model digital feature use, guide digital feature use) in literacy lessons. Using survey research, we explored which DigiLit…

Context: The notion that studies reporting non-significant results may be less likely to be published leads to a publication selection problem, which impacts meta-analytic effect size estimation by introducing publication bias. The damaging result of publication bias in a meta-analysis is the inflation of the magnitude of estimated effect sizes,…

Selecting texts that can support young readers is essential work for teachers because the 'right' text provides readers with opportunities to demonstrate their skills, strategies and comprehension. Text complexity guides offer teachers one way to select those texts, but despite these pedagogical supports, many readers continue to struggle with…
