The two-faced process of learning and the importance of Janus-faced solutions npj Sci. Learn. (IF 4.2) Pub Date : 2023-12-14 Robin Samuelsson
Significant developments have been made to our understanding of how children learn, putting essential pieces to the puzzle of what it means to be human. Theories of learning are, however, headed in diverging directions, and this perspective paper argues that this dispersion can recapitulate recurring schisms in developmental and learning sciences about learning as a predominantly individually constructed

Prevalence of undiagnosed dyslexia in African-American primary school children npj Sci. Learn. (IF 4.2) Pub Date : 2023-12-02 Laura Cassidy, Kayla Reggio, Bennett A. Shaywitz, Sally E. Shaywitz
Dyslexia is among the most common neurodevelopmental disorders in children, yet despite its high prevalence all too frequently goes undiagnosed. Consequently dyslexic children all too often fail to receive effective reading interventions. Here we report our findings from a study using a teacher completed evidence-based dyslexia screener to first screen then test predominantly African-American children

Disrupting links between poverty, chronic stress, and educational inequality npj Sci. Learn. (IF 4.2) Pub Date : 2023-11-20 Madeline B. Harms, Sherona D. Garrett-Ruffin
The income-achievement gap is a significant and stubborn problem in the United States, which has been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic. In this article, we link two emerging literatures that have historically been disparate: the neurobiology of poverty as a form of early life stress, and research on educational policies with the potential to reduce SES-based disparities in academic achievement

Closing the research-practice gap in education is an important aim. The ICAP framework (for interactive, constructive, active, and passive engagement modes) explicitly targets this aim and has gained broad attention. The ICAP framework is supposed to support practitioners in translating research findings into practice by distinguishing between four modes of student engagement. In this comment, we consider
