Det behövs mer diskussion om hur flerspråkighet ska användas i skolan. Om vi verkligen använder det som en resurs kan fler elever klara sig bättre i skolan. Det menar forskaren Adrian Lundberg som jämfört synen på flerspråkighet inom skolan i Sverige och i Schweiz.

En terapeutisk tilgang fra Aarhus Universitet ser lovende ud. Og ellers handler det om en ‘god skolekultur’.

Børn med ADHD sover væsentligt bedre, når de har en kugledyne over sig om natten. Det viser dansk forskning offentliggjort i JSciMed Central. Samtidig blev børnenes adfærdsmæssige problemer i skoletiden halveret i de otte uger, børnene deltog i forsøget.

Førskolebørn med ADHD har en dårligere livskvalitet end andre børn, viser forskning. Men deres livskvalitet kan forbedres væsentligt med en målrettet indsats til forældrene. ”På lang sigt kan det have stor betydning for børnenes prognose”, siger forsker Liva Bundgaard Larsen fra Aarhus Universitet til au.dk.

Mellem 5 og 10 procent af alle børn rammes af angst, og for mange bliver angsten en livslang følgesvend, som fører til store sociale problemer og forhindrer udbytte af skole og uddannelse.

Back to the future of education: Four OECD Scenarios for Schooling is a tool to support long-term strategic thinking in education. Inspired by the ground-breaking 2001 OECD Schooling for Tomorrow scenarios, these scenarios can help identify potential opportunities and challenges and stress-test against unexpected shocks. We can then use those ideas to help us better…

Math can be a daunting subject to teach for elementary-school teachers who took few courses on the subject in college. Become a confident instructor by showing students several approaches to problem-solving -- and don't be afraid to keep learning yourself with professional development or other methods, writes Elaine Keeley, a curriculum, instruction, and staff development…

Now we know the reason why middle school kids are this way, and it has more to do with neurotransmitters than with hormones. The past 20 years of research in adolescent brain development has provided an entirely new way of understanding why adolescents—and young adolescents in particular—are the skittish, suspicious, status-conscious, peer-hungry creatures that they…

Taking regular breaks may help to support learning, says John Sweller, a leading learning science researcher. Sweller says the brain's ability to retain information in "working memory" is limited, and if students are having "trouble understanding something, what we mean is that their working memory is overwhelmed."

Teaching coding on computers is only one small aspect of computer literacy for students, asserts Jaigris Hodson of Royal Roads University in this commentary. Helping them recognize, and avoid spreading, misinformation as they navigate the internet requires equipping students with critical thinking and bias-recognition skills too, she writes.
