Parental Support, Child Factors and School Adjustment in Predicting Adolescents’ Well-Being and Ill-Being: A Structural Equation Model
We investigated the effects of parental support, individual factors (general self-efficacy and social emotional loneliness), and school adjustment (general aspects about school and teachers, peer relationship, and academic and disciplinary difficulties) on adolescents’ well-being and ill-being. The aim is to study how these different sets of predictors affect well-being and ill-being and the interrelationships between different sets of predictors…
A Systematic Review of Test Anxiety Identification and Leveling in Children and Adolescents
Test anxiety is experienced in competence‐based situations, such as tests and exams, where one is anxious and concerned about failure in performance outcomes. It is often of interest to both research and applied settings to identify students who are high on test anxiety to understand the characteristics of high test anxiety or to provide support and intervention for these students. This systematic review focuses on the methods in which Grades 1–1…
Grandparental care and early childhood development: A decade’s worth of insight from three Singaporean cohorts
Singapore's aging population and the geographical proximity of Singaporean families may contribute to comparatively high rates of grandparental caregiving. This study describes the prevalence of grandparental caregiving and investigates concurrent and longitudinal effects of grandparental care on infant and preschool-aged children's preacademic, executive function, and socioemotional outcomes for the first time in Singapore. In the present study,…
Working memory and numeracy training for children with math learning difficulties: Evidence from a large-scale implementation in the classroom
Accounting for the SES-Math Achievement Gap at School Entry: Unique Mediation Paths via Executive Functioning and Behavioral Self-Regulation
Childhood socioeconomic status (SES) is strongly predictive of math achievement in early childhood and beyond. In this study, we aimed to further our understanding of the mechanisms underpinning the SES-achievement gap by examining whether two aspects of self-regulation—executive functions (EF) and behavioral self-regulation (BSR)—mediate between SES and math achievement. Using data from a longitudinal study in Singapore ( n = 1,257, 49% males), …
Fine motor and executive functioning skills predict maths and spelling skills at the start of kindergarten: A compensatory account ( La motricidad fina y las funciones ejecutivas predicen las competen…
Research shows that executive functions (EF) and fine motor skills (FMS) contribute to early academic skills, possibly in overlapping ways. We examine whether and how EF and FMS interact in the concurrent prediction of maths, reading and spelling skills at the start of kindergarten. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) on data from 1248 five-year-olds supports a compensatory account of EF and FMS in contributing towards maths and spelling skills. …
