Background Early literacy and numeracy skills are developed during early childhood. Among the many factors that influence the development of such skills, the literature shows that the executive functions, especially the response inhibition (RI)—that is the capability to block out or to tune out what can be considered irrelevant information or actio...

The development of early numeracy skills in preschoolers is an important predictor of future academic performance. A multiplicity of tasks or tests measure early numeracy skills in the English-language. Nevertheless, no tools are currently in French for evaluating and monitoring the development of young children’s early numeracy skills. The present...

Preschool teachers' varying beliefs about the utility of digital technologies may affect their acceptance of educational tablet apps for classroom use. We tested this hypothesis via a two-stage study in which we first assessed 214 French école maternelle teachers' beliefs about digital technologies. Stage two of the study measured acceptance of an...

Ce projet avait pour objectif de développer et tester une application éducative sur tablette numérique à l’usage d’enfants dans le contexte de la maternelle. Pour ce faire, le travail s’est...

Background The development of early literacy skills in preschoolers is an important predictor of future academic performance. Four main domains of early literacy are currently observed: letter knowledge, vocabulary, phonological awareness and oral comprehension. A multiplicity of tasks or tests measures these domains in English language. However, t...

This paper describes a French research project to co-design an early literacy/early numeracy tablet app for kindergarten students. In order to create an app that takes into account classroom/teaching constraints and the results of recent research, we adopted a theoretical co-design framework and followed a methodology involving researchers, educati...

Early literacy and numeracy skills are developed during childhood at kindergarten level. Among the many factors that influence the development of such skills, the literature shows that the executive function of inhibition – i.e. the blocking out or tuning out of information or action that is irrelevant to the learning task – is one of the most impo...

Background. More than 295,000 people have been identifed with bleeding disorders worldwide, the majority being hemophiliacs (184,560; data from the World Federation of Hemophilia, 2017). Hemophilia poses a paradox: Physical activity is recommended for children with hemophilia for the sake of their health and to promote inclusion, but teachers are r...
