A study carried out with repeating students has shown that tailored support leads to greater engagement and may reduce dropout rates
Four research teams from the fields of Materials Science, Education, Communication and Psychology at the Universitat Jaume I are taking part in four of the eight joint research actions launched under the EDUC-WIDE project, aimed at strengthening cooperation among the universities of the EDUC alliance and with their local research ecosystems.
The public university of Castelló is thus opening new opportunities for internationalization for its research groups in areas such as communication inequality, behavioural and psychophysiological research, inclusion, and materials science, strategic fields of the "Empowering EDUC for Inclusive Development of the ERA (EDUC-WIDE)" initiative, which has offered a major opportunity to expand international collaboration.
The first national randomized trial of public Montessori preschool students showed stronger long-term outcomes by kindergarten, including elevated reading, memory, and executive function as compared to non-Montessori preschoolers. The research also appears highly actionable for policymakers, because the results found the Montessori programs delivered better outcomes at sharply lower costs. The study of 588 children across two dozen programs nationwide shows an imperative to follow and study these outcomes through graduation and beyond.
