TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a specialist definition of the concept of educational standards, taking the international debate on education policy and educational science into account, and present a framework describing the function of educational standard in the overall context of educational monitoring, school evaluation and the evaluation of specific programmes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report the development and validation of a measurement instrument assessing elementary school students' achievement emotions (AEQ-ES), which is based on Pekrun's (2006) control-value theory of achievement emotions.

TL;DR: Overall, digital tool use had a positive effect on student learning outcomes and was compared to those of a control group taught without the use of digital tools.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide empirical evidence for the specific effects of these approaches by implementing them in a highly controlled learning environment, where 147 first-graders were randomly assigned to one of three intervention groups that used an "exact", an "approximate" or both versions of the same computer game, or to a control group.

TL;DR: The participants' proving skills and their conceptual knowledge were significantly better when learning with heuristic examples as compared to the control condition, and the sole provision of self-explanation prompts fostered conceptual knowledge as well as skills.
