Randomised controlled trial of an online cognitive training program in school-aged children with cerebral palsy

BackgroundChildren with cerebral palsy (CP) experience deficits in nonverbal reasoning. The SMART online cognitive intervention has been associated with gains in IQ and nonverbal IQ in previous studies in typically developing school-aged children and children experiencing learning difficulties. AimTo assess the efficacy of an online cognitive intervention in school-aged children with CP. Methods and Procedures21 children with CP (male n = 17; 76.2%), mean age 9 y 8 m, SD 1 y 1 month (range 8 y 3 m to 12 y 6 m) were randomised into the intervention group (n = 9) or a waitlist control group. A mixed-methods approach with an explanatory sequential design was used, with a randomised controlled trial followed by qualitative interviews. Participants were assessed on measures of intelligence, academic ability, attention and executive functioning, and social-emotional functioning at baseline, then after completing the training, or the waitlist period. Analyses included ANCOVAs and paired samples t tests. Semi-structured interviews explored participants’ experiences with the training. Results and OutcomesTraining completion was low with a mean of 16.9 modules completed out of 55 available. No significant effect of training was found for the primary outcome of intelligence, or for any secondary outcomes. Participants reported barriers and facilitators for accessing the program. ImplicationsCognitive training programs addressing relational framing ability may require significant modifications before they can be effectively tested with children with CP.

The urgency of developing augmented reality-based biology learning media on genetic substance material

The implementation of biology learning in the field encounters numerous challenges. Specifically on genetic substance material, students experience learning difficulties due to abstract, interdisciplinary concepts and difficulties in understanding textbooks. This problem can be overcome one way by using learning media. Under current learning demands, technology-based media is appropriate to use. Augmented Reality (AR) based media is one option. The accessibility of augmented reality-based media remains limited, especially for genetic substance material, despite the necessity for media capable of visualizing its complex and abstract characteristics. The results of the needs analysis for teachers and students also show that AR-based media is needed in genetic substance learning. The use of AR media is very possible because of the support of adequate infrastructure. Teachers and students also expressed their willingness to use AR media in learning. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that AR-based biology learning media on Genetic Substance material is urgent to be developed. This media will be able to enrich the variety of biology learning media and become one of the solutions to overcome problems in biology learning, especially genetic substance material.

The Impact Of Parental Involvement And Self-Efficacy In Anchoring The Psychological Resilience Among Chinese Adolescents With Learning Difficulties: Mediating Role Of Achievement Motivation

Over the past few decades, there has been a noticeable focus on adolescents' learning and participation activities. Surveys and studies conducted in academic schools in China have reported an increase in cases of adolescents experiencing learning difficulties. The previouis research has linked the concept of learning difficulties and disabilities within the broader cultural, social, and academic context. Existing studies shed light on various factors responsible for triggering learning difficulties and how to resolve them. The literature commonly identifies academic factors, such as the school environment and teaching styles, as potential causes of learning difficulties. However, studies have often neglected social elements, including the role of parents and an individual's self-efficacy. This study examines personal and social factors to analyze their impact on the psychological resilience of adolescents. A quantitative design was adopted where data was collected from adolescents across China through Wen Juan Xing. The findings imply that parental involvement, but not self-efficacy, significantly impacts psychological resilience. Additionally, it was discovered that parental involvement, self-efficacy, and psychological resilience weren’t mediated by achievement motivation. The findings from the study can be used by parents, managers, and other children welfare organizations to develop policies and processes that are supportive of the development and resilience of the adolescents.
