Effectively Teaching Reading Comprehension to Students With Special Educational Needs in Inclusive, Intermediate, and Special Classroom Settings
Effective teaching plays a vital role in promoting student learning across various domains, including reading comprehension which is an indispensable skill for all learners but difficult to master for most. Recent studies have shown that the effectiveness of teaching is context-specific, influenced by both student characteristics and the classroom setting. These variations in effectiveness underscore the differential impact of teaching behaviors …
Reading strategy use of upper primary school students in a task-oriented context
This study explores the reading strategy use of low- and high-achieving upper primary school readers (N = 24) through the analysis of think-aloud protocols. Given the situational dependency of reading strategy use, one specific context was explored, namely a task-oriented reading context involving text-related questions. By employing direct observations, this study avoids the limitations associated with self-reports, which are most common in the …
Teachers’ computational thinking content knowledge
Teachers' Autonomy Support in Reading
Reading and reading comprehension are crucial skills, yet many primary school students struggle. To address this, fostering both the skill and will for reading is a central aim in literacy education. Reading motivation is considered a multidimensional construct, including autonomous reading motivation (ARM), driven by personal value and pleasure; controlled reading motivation (CRM), driven by internal or external pressures; and self‐efficacy, ref…

The development of the reading comprehension—Progress monitoring (RC-PM) tool for late elementary students
Notwithstanding reading comprehension is a key competence in today’s society, many late elementary students struggle with it. In this respect, effective instructional incentives are required to foster students’ reading comprehension. However, appropriate assessment instruments to monitor students’ reading comprehension on a regular basis and to make substantiated instructional decisions are lacking. Therefore, a Reading Comprehension – Progress M…
Social citizenship competences at the end of primary school
This study aims to explore the interrelatedness of socio-ethnic classroom diversity, teachers’ citizenship beliefs, teacher practices to create a citizenship-fostering classroom climate, and their relationship with social citizenship competences of primary school students in Flanders. Data were gathered from 686 sixth-grade primary school students in 44 classrooms and their 44 teachers. To analyze the data, a multilevel path analysis was conducte…
Skill or will? The respective contribution of motivational and behavioural characteristics to secondary school students' reading comprehension
Background A significant number of secondary school students struggle with comprehending texts proficiently. Enhancing their reading comprehension requires knowledge about how this ability is related to various motivational and behavioural characteristics. The central aim of this study was therefore to investigate the (in)direct relationships between ninth‐grade students' motivational (i.e., reading motivation and reading self‐concept) and behavi…
Exploring the relationship between metacognitive awareness, motivation, and L1 students’ critical listening skills
This study aimed to provide a more comprehensive view on the relationship between metacognitive awareness, intrinsic and extrinsic listening motivation, and L1 primary school students’ critical listening skills. A critical listening test and different self-report questionnaires were administered to 649 native Dutch-speaking sixth-grade students. Quantitative data analysis techniques, including a series of one-way multivariate analysis of variance…
Social citizenship competences of primary school students
In our current diverse society, young people need a wide scope of social citizenship competences to coexist with and understand the otherness of others. Schools are one of the social practices in which students develop these social citizenship competences. This study aims to identify how socio-ethnic diversity in the classroom is related to the social citizenship competences of sixth grade primary school students. To measure students’ social citi…
A multilevel analysis of what matters in the training of pre-service teacher's ICT competencies
Developing a validated instrument to measure preservice teachers’ ICT competencies
The main objective of this study is to develop a self‐report instrument to measure preservice teachers’ ICT competencies in education. The questionnaire items of this instrument are based on an existing comprehensive framework and were created with input from experts in the field. The data were collected from a sample of 931 final‐year preservice teachers in F landers ( B elgium). A first subsample was used for an exploratory factor analysis, and…
