A Theory of Knowledge Revision: the Development of the KReC Framework Educ. Psychol. Rev. (IF 10.1) Pub Date : 2024-04-18 Panayiota Kendeou
In this paper, I discuss the inspiration, development, and further refinement of the Knowledge Revision Components framework (KReC; Kendeou & O’Brien, 2014). In KReC, we theorize about the conditions that facilitate knowledge revision during reading, and thus successful learning in the presence of prior, often incorrect knowledge. I discuss how the inspiration and need for the framework arose, and

Capital Flight: Examining Teachers’ Socioeconomic Status and Early Career Retention Sociol. Educ. (IF 4.619) Pub Date : 2024-04-16 Andrew Brantlinger, Ashley Anne Grant
This article investigates the understudied relationship between teacher socioeconomic status (SES) and retention. Drawing on Bourdieu’s theory of social reproduction and longitudinal data from 378 mathematics teachers, we use logistic regression to examine whether teacher SES, conceptualized and measured in terms of their economic, social, and cultural capital, is associated with their school, district

Digital flourishing refers to the positive perceptions of digital communication use in five dimensions: connectedness, positive social comparison, authentic self‐presentation, civil participation, and self‐control. This three‐wave panel study among 1081 Slovenian adolescents (Mage = 15.34 years, 53.8% boys, 80.7% ethnic majority) explored the trajectories of their digital flourishing dimensions over

How retributive motives shape the emergence of third‐party punishment across intergroup contexts Child Dev. (IF 5.661) Pub Date : 2024-04-13 Julia Marshall, Katherine McAuliffe
This study examines how retributive motives—the desire to punish for the purpose of inflicting harm in the absence of future benefits—shape third‐party punishment behavior across intergroup contexts. Six‐ to nine‐year‐olds (N = 151, Mage = 8.00, SDage = 1.15; 54% White, 18% mixed ethnicities, 17% Asian American; 46% female; from the USA) could punish ingroup, outgroup, or non‐group transgressors by

Historically, evidence of self‐recognition in development has been associated with the “rouge test”; however, this has been often criticized for providing a reductionist picture of self‐conscious behavior. With two event‐related potential (ERP) experiments, this study investigated the origin of self‐recognition. Six‐ to eight‐month‐old infants (42 males and 35 females, predominately White, tested in

Does Special Education Work? A Systematic Literature Review of Evidence From Administrative Data Rem. Spec. Educ. (IF 3.25) Pub Date : 2024-04-13 Kaitlyn G. O’Hagan, Leanna Stiefel
Research increasingly seeks to answer the question: does special education work? This is different than asking if specific interventions have positive effects and instead aims to identify system-wide impacts. We systematically review published quantitative research on the impact of receiving special education services on student outcomes using large administrative data, as well as review the methodology

Historically, in educational research, student learning is frequently represented as quantitative data that demonstrates academic achievement. However, examining student learning by quantitative measures alone means that we do not fully understand the dynamic relationship between the instructional practices of teachers and how students learn. In this study, grounded theory methods were used to explore

Executive functions and emotion regulation develop from early childhood to adolescence and are predictive of important psychosocial outcomes. However, despite the correlation between the two regulatory capacities, whether they are prospectively related in school‐aged children remains unknown, and the direction of effects is uncertain. In this study, a sample drawn from two birth cohorts in Norway was

When faced with challenging thinking tasks accompanied by a feeling of uncertainty, people often prefer to opt out (e.g., replying “I don’t know”, seeking advice) over giving low-confidence responses. In professions with high-stakes decisions (e.g., judges, medical practitioners), opting out is generally seen as preferable to making unreliable decisions. Contrarily, in educational settings, despite

Why do students disengage from online courses? Internet High. Educ. (IF 8.591) Pub Date : 2024-04-02 Sacide Güzin Mazman Akar
One of the most significant issues with online education is that students disengage and eventually drop out of the course due to their inability to remain active in the online environment. Thus, disengagement from online courses has been seen as an important obstacle to the successful continuation of the online learning process. This study aimed to empirically explore the disengagement from online

Language development beyond the here‐and‐now: Iconicity and displacement in child‐directed communication Child Dev.

Most language use is displaced, referring to past, future, or hypothetical events, posing the challenge of how children learn what words refer to when the referent is not physically available. One possibility is that iconic cues that imagistically evoke properties of absent referents support learning when referents are displaced.

Although children exhibit curiosity regarding science, questions remain regarding how children evaluate others' curiosity and whether evaluations differ across domains that prioritize faith (e.g., religion) versus those that value questioning (e.g., science).

Is skill heterogeneity in kindergarten classrooms associated with the persistence of pre-K gains? Evidence from the IES early learning network Early Child. Res. Q.

Students’ gains from Pre-K converge with similar students who did not attend Pre-K in elementary school. One theory for convergence is that students who attend Pre-K enter kindergarten classrooms that are skill heterogeneous, and these students are positioned near the top of the classroom skill distribution. Kindergarten teachers, however, focus their instruction on students toward the bottom of the

One of the primary goals of early education is to promote overall school readiness, especially for children most at risk for educational challenges.
