Understanding executive functions (EFs) development is of high value to global developmental science. Recent calls for a more inclusive and equitable developmental science argue that tasks and questionnaires that are developed using only a subset of the population are not likely to be appropriate for EFs measurement in global contexts unless…

In this paper, we present an activity to introduce the idea of public-key cryptography and to make pre-service STEM teachers explore fundamental informatics and mathematical concepts and methods. We follow the Theory of Didactical Situations within the Didactical Engineering methodology (both widely used in mathematics education research) to…

Web-based inquiry learning provides opportunities for students to take responsibility to regulate their learning. However, due to a lack of science inquiry-specific self-regulated learning (SRL) frameworks, there is insufficient understanding of SRL processes in inquiry-based science learning. This study aims to explore students' SRL patterns by…

Purpose: Lead is a well-established environmental contaminant that over the last 50 years has become recognized as a neurotoxin with its greatest concern for the developing child (i.e. both in-utero and postnatally). What is problematic is that children exposed to lead often come from lower socioeconomic status (SES), are largely Black communities…

Screen time is now pervasive in the lives of preschool children, posing potential risks for sleep disturbances and behavioural problems. Therefore, the present study used a questionnaire to survey mothers (M[subscript age] = 35.56 years, SD = 3.62 years) of a total of 571 preschool children (M[subscript age] = 4.70 years, SD = 0.88 years; 44.70%…

Supporting young students in developing meanings for the set-theoretic function definition is emphasized in 6th-12th grade curricula around the world. In prior work, we have highlighted how covariational reasoning supports college students in constructing relationships that afford considering mathematical properties important for a set-theoretic…

The present work combats the problem of violence and aggressive behaviour through mentoring. The theoretical point of view certified studies that highlight various aspects of the problem of violent and aggressive behaviour remediation of preadolescents and adolescents. At present there are no publications that completely synthesize the…

In this paper, it was tried to consider the current state of normative support for the development of strategic planning documents in the field of Russian education. The strategy for the development of education (DoE), as an industry document of strategic planning, has not been adopted in the Russian Federation (RF) to date. The article attempts…

The Chinese Radical Assembly Game (CRAG) is an online platform that assesses the lexical competence. In which, individuals select different Chinese radicals to combine them and form a legitimate character. This concept is similar to that of creative synthesis. Therefore, this study aimed to examine whether the CRAG response process involves…

This study aimed to investigate the effects of gender pairings on collaborative problem-solving performance, processes, and attitudes in a social learning context. Three types of pairings (i.e., male-male, female-female, and mixed pairings) were considered in an empirical study with 222 tenth-grade students. The selection of three different…

The development of the information society is giving rise to new challenges to and new requirements for education.

Over the past decade, the students of North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University in Greensboro, North Carolina, the largest historically Black public university in the country, were forced into the spotlight of a national fight over voting rights that has been profoundly reshaping our democracy. During the 2018 midterm elections,…

The mathematics performance of students identified with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) is poor. Students identified with EBD require individualized instruction aligned with their unique academic and behavioral needs. One way that teachers can efficiently identify core mathematics deficits and provide individualized instruction is through…
