Assessment of Early Mathematical Competence Development in Children Aged 3 to 6 Years
Background. Early mathematical competencies are a key predictor of performance in mathematics at higher educational levels. Objective. This study aims to describe the degree of development in early mathematical competence, challenging theories that propose mathematical skills develop only after age six, once formal education begins. Method. Using a quantitative descriptive approach with a non-probabilistic sample, the mathematical development of …
The Impact of Computational Thinking on Logical-Mathematical Reasoning in High School Education: A Quasi-Experimental Study
This article explores what impact a program of IT programming (Scratch and Python) activities has on the logical-mathematical reasoning of high school children. The sample comprised a group of 388 high school students, spanning first-year compulsory education (12 years old) up to second-year upper secondary (17 years old) students who were given the Differential and General Skills Battery (BADyG) before and after intervention through a quasi-expe…
Preliminary Study on Enhancing Literacy Skills Through Intervention Targeting Inhibitory Control, Cognitive Flexibility, Working Memory, and Attentional Control
(1) Background: It is important to understand how inhibition, cognitive flexibility, working memory, and attentional control impact reading and writing skills to identify areas for intervention and create effective intervention programs. This pilot study explores the connection between these abilities and academic performance in children aged 6 to 8 using a design with control and experimental groups. (2) Methods: Both groups were assessed pre- a…

Peer Rejection and Academic Performance in Early Childhood: The Mediating Role of Special Educational Needs of Spanish Students
Peer rejection occurs at all stages of education, including infant education, and entails serious consequences, both immediately and in the future, in all areas of children’s development. This study aims to gain insight into the link between peer rejection and academic performance, mediated by the presence of special educational needs (SEN). The study involved the participation of 758 students (397 male) in the second cycle of early childhood edu…
Discrimination of the Gypsy Population in the University Environment
The Roma population is one of the most discriminated social groups. Ignorance of their culture, traditions, etc. generates prejudices and stereotypes that hinder the processes of intercultural coexistence. The aim is to make the Roma people visible and to intervene in the university population, promoting intercultural and inclusive learning spaces to reduce behaviors that generate inequalities. Students from the University of Valladolid were invo…
Distribución sociométrica en Educación Infantil: Razones de aceptación y rechazo a los iguales
El rechazo entre iguales es un fenómeno muy estudiando en educación secundaria y primaria, dadas las consecuencias negativas presentes y futuras que tiene en el estudiante. Sin embargo, no ha sido tan estudiando en edades tempranas, siendo la educación infantil una etapa de gran importancia, ya que es cuando se empiezan a forjar las relaciones sociales, y su influencia es decisiva en el desarrollo socioemocional posterior. Este estudio tiene por …
Situational evaluation of teachers’ social-emotional competence: Spanish version of the test of regulation in and understanding of social situations in teaching (TRUST)
Evaluating teachers’ social-emotional competence is key to studying the effectiveness of education systems. This competence tends to be measured through self-reports, which might lead to a distorted vision. As an alternative, situational judgement tests have emerged. The present work seeks to adapt the Test of Regulation in and Understanding of Social Situations in Teaching (TRUST) to Spanish. The study involved 503 teachers from schools who teac…
Psychometric properties of the academic procrastination scale in Spanish university students
Procrastination in academic activities is common amongst university students, and has negative consequences for their personal as well as academic development. As a result, there is a need for valid –yet at the same time brief and clear-cut– measurement tools that enable the specific procrastinating behaviour of university students to be measured. This work explores in depth the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Academic Procr…
The Effectiveness of an Intervention Programme for Reducing Peer Rejection in Early Childhood Education
In the early years of schooling, peer groups are key to fostering students' overall learning and development. Yet it has been found that around 10% of children suffer from peer rejection in the classroom, with this problem entailing negative consequences both in the short and long term. The problem proves difficult for adults to detect, which usually leads to a delay in measures being taken to intervene and prevent it. This study applies an exper…
Application and challenges of eye tracking technology in Higher Education
Advances in neuro-technology provide new insights into how individual students learn in educational contexts. However, applying it poses challenges for teachers in natural settings. This paper presents an example of the use and applicability of eye-tracking technology in Higher Education. We worked with a sample of 20 students from three universities (Burgos and Valladolid in Spain and Miño in Portugal). The objectives were: (1) to determine whet…
The Sociodemographic-Professional Profile and Emotional Intelligence in Infant and Primary Education Teachers
Emotional intelligence is the key to students' psychological-social well-being and academic performance, and teachers must provide socioemotional education in the classroom. To achieve this, teachers must display high levels of socioemotional skills that ensure their own personal, social, and career well-being and, as a result, that of their students. This study seeks to gain an insight into the levels of socioemotional skills of emotional percep…
Group Segmentation as a Strategy for Implementing the Intervention Programme in Emotional Education for Infant and Primary Teachers

The aims of this paper were: firstly, to test the effectiveness of the programme in emotional education implemented through group segmentation based on teachers' sociodemographic and work profile fa…
Socio-Emotional Variables Linked to the Consumption of Drugs amongst University Students of Social Sciences: A Pilot Study
This descriptive and transversal study, carried out on an intentional sample of 211 subjects who were split in terms of their consumption of psychoactive substances over the last month and who were aged between 18 and 28 (M = 21.36, and SD = 1.90), aimed to explore the emotional intelligence, perceived socio-family support and academic performance of university students vis-à-vis their consumption of drugs and to examine the link between them. Th…
