Artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized various aspects of people's lives, yet its misuse poses risks to society. When introducing AI into K-12 education, the concept of AI for social good (AISG) is crucial, as it orients students toward the ethical application of AI. Based partially on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), this study explored…

In primary education, adaptive learning technologies (ALTs) personalise tasks and provide teacher dashboards that visualise real-time student performance and progress. These dashboards can help teachers to provide targeted, real-time feedback based on the dashboard data, a practice known as dashboard-prompted feedback (DP-feedback). This study examined how teachers give different types of DP-feedback (task, process, metacognitive,…

This study explores how Grade 7 students experienced a student-directed inquiry for the first time in a Science and Technology course at girls’ school in Québec, Canada. Drawing on an exploratory case study design, we centred on students’ voices to understand their perspectives on student-directed inquiry and the competencies they felt they developed throughout the…

Internationally, we lack knowledge at scale about young people’s perceptions of support for their religious freedom and about their levels of commitment to religious equality. Such knowledge could inform efforts to interrupt potential antagonisms. Drawing on survey data from 3156 14–15-year-olds in England, this paper examines how youth perceive support for religious expression at school,…

The first signs of autism often become evident as early as before a child's first birthday, and very early intervention is key to securing optimal outcomes. In the present study, two mother–child dyads participated, with mothers being trained in behavioural strategies targeting socio-communicative behaviours in their children, who were high-probability siblings of an older child…

This longitudinal study examined relationships between parent executive function (EF), parenting, and child EF problems in a sample of 71 fathers and mothers of 4-year-old children (36 male). At Time 1 (T1), parent reports were collected of parent–child conflict and closeness, and parent EF, and children’s verbal ability was assessed. Parents rated their child’s EF…

In Finland, teachers have historically held a high degree of trust and respect, where they have been thought of not only as teachers but educators in a broader sense. This is reflected by the national curriculum dictating that teachers should not only teach, but see to their students’ social development. Interested in how this second…

Good Behavior Game (GBG) is a school-based intervention designed to reduce conduct problems, while increasing on-task behavior and a positive classroom climate. Earlier studies have shown positive long-term effects in several outcomes, making GBG a promising method of universal prevention. This study evaluates the effectiveness of a translated and adapted version of GBG in a…

Et godt skoleliv forudsætter trivsel, læring og deltagelse i fællesskaber, men for nogle børn med ADHD/ASF kan skolens krav og undervisningens struktur være udfordrende, hvilket stiller særlige krav til pædagogiske indsatser. Artiklen undersøger, hvordan pædagogisk personale i specialklasser oplever og skaber mening med bevægelse for denne elevgruppe. Med en hermeneutisk-fænomenologisk tilgang kombineres observationer med interviews…

This paper uses primary data to examine the socioeconomic attainment gap in number among pupils at the start of their first year of school. Previous research has largely relied on statutory assessment data, which is collected at the end of the first school year and currently distinguishes only between pupils meeting and not meeting the…
