Using the reading sciences and technology for teaching and learning in the Global South
Open AccessLarysa Lysenko, Philip C Abrami et al.ARTICLELearning and Instruction2026
In the Global South, persistent literacy challenges have been exacerbated by schooling disruptions during the pandemic and afterwards. Addressing this problem requires teachers who both understand how to teach reading, and can implement it effectively and efficiently. This research examines the effects of an intervention combining a technology-based teacher professional development and implementation of new knowledge and skills and ABRA-READS int…

Learning About Alphabetics and Fluency: Examining the Effectiveness of a Blended Professional Development Program for Kenyan Teachers
Open AccessNoah Battaglia, Eileen Wood et al.ARTICLEEducation Sciences2025
This study examined the effectiveness of an 18-week online blended teacher professional development program for Kenyan in-service teachers. Also, teachers received instruction on the use of an evidence-based early literacy software program for children. The 94 teachers completed two professional development training modules (alphabetics and fluency) and four surveys (one before and one after each module). Surveys assessed teachers’ confidence and…
Parents as the first teachers: An exploratory study of parent perceptions and use of an online instructional vocabulary module for parents
Open AccessKatherine Reid, Eileen Wood et al.ARTICLEFirst Language2025
This exploratory study evaluates the effectiveness of an online instructional vocabulary module in enhancing parents’ understanding of early childhood vocabulary development and how to demonstrate this in a home environment. Forty-one parents viewed the vocabulary video and completed pre- and post-surveys. While most parents could define ‘vocabulary’ pre-viewing, post-viewing responses showed improved identification of its importance. Participant…
What is the experience of adults assigned male at birth with a diagnosis of Gender Incongruence at an NHS gender identity clinic in England who have sought treatment but decided to detransition or ret…
Eileen Wood, George Johnson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Homosexuality2025References: 39
The phenomenon of gender identity detransition broadly speaking happens when someone re-identifies with their assigned-sex after transitioning their gender identity. There is a growing body of evidence exploring the prevalance of detransition yet few studies have sought to understand the lived experience of gender detransition, and those who also retransition. Five participants were recruited from an NHS GIC and interviewed about their experience…
Development of a metacognition co-curriculum for a university course in introductory organic chemistry
Open AccessStephen L MacNeil, Eileen Wood et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Education2024
Metacognition is a fundamental skill that allows advanced learners to adapt to diverse learning environments. Metacognition, however, can be domain specific and students may fail to generalize metacognitive skills across domains. Thus, students in higher education may require specific training to acquire relevant metacognitive skills in differing domains or may need cueing to engage their metacognitive skills and knowledge in new domains. The pre…
How do Canadian parents evaluate numeracy content in math apps for young children
Nicola Urquhart, Joanne Lee et al.ARTICLEJournal of Children and Media2024
Well-designed math apps can foster children’s numeracy development. Although parents are interested in using math apps for their children, the quantity and variability in quality of apps can make app selection challenging. As such, it is important to know how parents evaluate numeracy content in math apps for their children. This study investigated parents’ evaluations of four numeracy apps of varying quality. Forty-five parents of 3- to 6-year-o…

A service evaluation of an improving confidence group for trans women using cognitive behavioural therapy and speech and language therapy interventions
Eileen Wood, Suellen Cotton et al.ARTICLEPsychology of Sexualities Review2022
A group was developed to support trans women attending a GIC (Gender Identity Clinic) to improve their self-esteem, and confidence in using their target feminine voice. Psychology and SLT (speech and language therapy) teams collaborated utilising Fennell’s (1997) Cognitive Model of Low Self-Esteem and SLT interventions. The RSES (Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale: Rosenberg, 1965) was used to measure self-esteem pre and post group. Participants’ scores…

SYNOPSISObjective . The context of play has changed dramatically over the past decade with the ubiquitous presence of mobile technologies available to children in and outside the home. Despite increasing use of interactive technological devices at home, the quality of parental interactions in these 2D digital play contexts, relative to traditional 3D play contexts, remains relatively unexplored, especially in the domain of geometry. Design. The p…

The Simple View of Reading as a framework for national literacy initiatives: A hierarchical model of pupil‐level and classroom‐level factors
Open AccessRussell Savage, Robert Savage et al.ARTICLEBritish Educational Research…2015References: 47
The Simple View of Reading ( SVR ) describes Reading Comprehension as the product of distinct child‐level variance in decoding (D) and linguistic comprehension ( LC ) component abilities. When used as a model for educational policy, distinct classroom‐level influences of each of the components of the SVR model have been assumed, but have not yet been demonstrated in basic research. Hierarchical linear modelling ( HLM ) of the SVR is thus explored…

Despite continued acceleration of computer access in elementary and secondary schools, computer integration is not necessarily given as an everyday learning tool. A heterogeneous sample of 185 elementary and 204 secondary teachers was asked to respond to open-ended survey questions in order to understand why integration of computer-based technologies does or does not fit with their teaching philosophy, what factors impact planning to use computer…
