The review is guided by the five-stage framework developed by Arksey and O'Malley. We searched in four electronic databases: ERIC,Web of Science, Scopus, and the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). The studies identified in the search were independently reviewed by two authors using the PRISMA checklist for scoping reviews and the Rayyan software. Following the study's inclusion and exclusion criteria, we incorporated 34 papers into the scoping review. Our analysis revealed a growing number of educational technologies designed for children's Internet safety education over the years. Among various approaches, game-based learning emerged as the most popular method for delivering educational content within the broader domain of online safety education for children. The majority of the studies focused on children aged 11–14 years old, with sample sizes ranging from 6 to 976 child participants. Additionally, intervention-based research designs were the most frequently employed methodology. Our study advances the knowledge base on technology-based education in online safety training of children by mapping the literature of this field and unveiling the trends over the past decade. These insights can shape future research directions in online safety education and inform the educational technology industry.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":73445,"journal":{"name":"International journal of educational research open","volume":"9 ","pages":"Article 100462"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143739845","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We fill this gap by conducting secondary data analyses of a longitudinal, population-based administrative database of individual educational records for 68,815 inclusive education students with assorted categories of support needs (‘designations’), followed longitudinally from Kindergarten (school entry, approximately 5/6 years of age) to Grade 12 (when students typically complete high school). Data spanned 19 years (1999/2000 to 2018/2019, inclusive), and were collected by the British Columbia Ministry of Education and Child Care (BC MEDCC) in Canada, who flagged individual student records with one of 12 designations they annually track for school district funding allotments. Specific objectives were, by designation: (1) to explore the specific high school leaving credential students earned; and (2) to investigate associations among seven sociodemographic predictors (cohort, Ever ESL, gender, number of designations, grade-to-grade transition pace, time to initial designation, and school system) with students’ earned credential. Included are designation-specific descriptive analyses, as well assorted multinomial logistic regressions in which students’ earned credential was regressed onto the sociodemographic variables. Across designations, results showed tremendous variation in students’ earned credential and credential data missingness. This study advances knowledge about the educational journeys and eventual high school completion outcomes of inclusive education students, helps grow the literature on education as a social determinant of health for inclusive education students, and serves to guide inclusive education policy and programs to support students in Canada and elsewhere around the world.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":73445,"journal":{"name":"International journal of educational research open","volume":"9 ","pages":"Article 100502"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144471976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conducted as a cross-sectional survey with 1,204 participants, the study used the local language (<em>Name Anonymized</em>) version of the dysexecutive questionnaire alongside demographic and lifestyle questions. The findings indicate that certain modern lifestyle habits are associated with increased metacognition and social cognition dysfunction symptoms. Specifically, high smartphone use (<span><math><mrow><mi>p</mi><mi>&lt;</mi><mn>0</mn><mo>.</mo><mn>0001</mn></mrow></math></span>), the number of social media platforms used (p = 0.0258), frequent fast food consumption (<span><math><mrow><mi>p</mi><mi>&lt;</mi><mn>0</mn><mo>.</mo><mn>0001</mn></mrow></math></span>), daily hours on social media (<span><math><mrow><mi>p</mi><mi>&lt;</mi><mn>0</mn><mo>.</mo><mn>0001</mn></mrow></math></span>), and weekly hours spent gaming (p = 0.0121) were significantly linked to greater metacognitive and social cognition impairments. These habits, prevalent among Generation Z, may contribute to difficulties in sustaining focus, managing impulses, and organizing tasks effectively. Additional factors such as weak relationships with extended family (p = 0.0002), working during study years (p = 0.0075), urban residence (p = 0.0007), and prior mental health consultations (p = 0.0003) also correlated with higher levels of metacognition and social cognition dysfunction symptoms. Students with reduced social support and greater urban stressors may be especially vulnerable, impacting their cognitive and emotional functioning. The study’s findings underscore the need for universities to support students’ cognitive and emotional health by promoting digital well-being, reducing screen time, and encouraging healthy social media habits. Strengthening social support through resources that help students maintain family and community ties could improve executive functioning. Tailored mental health services, particularly for those with a history of mental health needs, can be critical in managing metacognition and social cognition dysfunction symptoms. Finally, universities should address demographic disparities, designing programs that target the specific challenges faced by high-risk groups. Such comprehensive strategies can enhance cognitive resilience, emotional regulation, and academic performance among students.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":73445,"journal":{"name":"International journal of educational research open","volume":"9 ","pages":"Article 100514"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144925611","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The selection of these 9 research pieces was based on stringent quality assessment criteria for reporting the analysis. None of the studies achieved the highest rating on the quality criteria. We synthesised findings from 9 studies, of which only 2 received a moderate quality rating, while 7 were rated low in quality. Therefore, claims on the role of factors remain inconclusive. The synthesis suggested that cognitive abilities in early childhood show positive associations with factors such as being a female child, having an older mother, high family income, and receiving cognitive stimulation at home. Conversely, negative factors such as low family income, being a left behind child, and maternal cigarette consumption are associated with adverse outcomes. Mixed factors such as early school attendance and maternal employment can have both positive and negative effects on child development, highlighting the intricate nature of the process.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":73445,"journal":{"name":"International journal of educational research open","volume":"9 ","pages":"Article 100530"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145227224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study acknowledges the supervisor-student nexus in contributing to a new generation of academics as key agents in the development of a knowledge economy. Using an autoethnographic inquiry approach we reflect on our supervisory experiences at two universities of technology in South Africa, unpack power relations in the supervision process and critique the models and styles of supervision. We use reflective narratives to unpack the complexities of the student-supervisor journey that can be dark, rough, and lonely. The principles of participatory learning environments and the tenets laid down by the Freirean notion of a Humanising Pedagogy is adopted as a framework underpinning this paper.

Early and reliable screening is essential for timely pedagogical interventions and improved academic outcomes. This systematic review, conducted under PRISMA guidelines, analyzed studies published between 2018 and 2025 in Scopus and PubMed to identify screening tools used in Arabic-speaking contexts. The review highlights the unique interaction of linguistic, neurocognitive, and pedagogical factors in Arabic—a language marked by rich morphology, complex orthography, and diglossia. Key findings show that phonological awareness (PA), rapid automatized naming (RAN), phonological fluency, and short-term verbal memory are the most common screening tools, with the PA+RAN “double-deficit model” emerging as a core marker of dyslexia. Some tools show strong psychometric reliability (e.g., RAN, Cronbach’s α = 0.85). Innovative approaches, including AI and virtual reality, are being explored to enhance diagnostic precision. Nonetheless, challenges persist, notably script direction, morphological complexity, dialect variation, and unequal access to technology. Regional efforts, such as Morocco’s context-specific screening battery, mark promising progress.
