How students conceptualize grade‐based acceleration in inclusive settings
Despite extensive research supporting educational acceleration for students with high academic ability, some psychologists, counselors, and educators express concerns about accelerative interventions. Such concerns often hinge on uncertainty about social acceptance, even in inclusive education settings. Research on acceleration has consistently shown benefits for students with high ability; however, there is a lack of research about grade‐based a…
The road less travelled’
Students with high academic ability have unique educational needs. Like all students with special needs, they require evidence-based interventions to develop their potential. One recommended intervention is educational acceleration; however, some educators express concerns about this intervention, often due to worries about potential social issues. Little is known about educational acceleration in inclusive schools, where social inclusion is fost…
Building Connections and Relationships at School
Most peer mentoring studies have focused on outcomes for mentees. This investigation examines seventh- and eighth-grade youth mentors’ roles in providing support and companionship to younger peer mentees. Group concept mapping (GCM) explored youth mentors’ reflections on the connections and relationships made through a peer mentoring program, 2 to 4 years after participating in the program. Results showed three key concepts: (a) Communication Ski…

Saudi children’s thoughts on inclusive education
Saudi Arabia has followed the global trend towards inclusive education; however, few researchers have examined the lived reality of inclusion in Saudi schools. In this study, we interviewed 31 girls and 34 boys in grades 5 and 6 who attended an inclusive school in Saudi. The overarching research question was, ‘How do Saudi children perceive social exclusion or inclusion among their classmates with learning difficulties?’ We followed a phenomenolo…
Children’s implicit and explicit gender stereotypes about mathematics and reading ability
An Exploration of the Utility of a Knowledge Utilization Framework to Study the Gap Between Reading Disabilities Research and Practice
This pre-pilot study explored the usefulness of a knowledge utilization framework comprised of Knott and Wildavsky’s (1980) seven stages of knowledge use and Stone’s (2002) three routes to knowledge use to investigate the gap between reading disabilities research and teachers’ self-reported use of that research. Semi-structured interviews of ten elementary school teachers were undertaken. A qualitative analysis of the interview data indicated tha…
Intergroup Evaluations and Norms about Learning Ability
Children's evaluations of classmates with learning difficulties tend to be less positive than their evaluations of classmates without learning difficulties; but it is not clear if these evaluations are associated with age, group norms, and group identification. These associations were examined within the context of inclusive elementary school classrooms. Participants (N = 192) were asked about their attitudes and their peers' attitudes towards ch…
