The Impact of Technology-Based Communities of Practice on STEM Teachers’ Self-directed Learning in Implementing Open Educational Practices
Rodnie Kgalemelo Mafa, Tirelo Moepswa | Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education | Fri, 18 Sep 2026
This study explores the impact of technology-based communities of practice (CoPs) on STEM teachers’ self-directed learning (SDL) during the implementation of open educational practices (OEP). The primary aim is to examine how these CoPs influence teachers’ autonomous learning processes and professional growth within the context of STEM education. The research utilised systematic review, focusing on journal articles from 2019 to 2024 that discuss SDL, CoPs, and OEP in STEM education. Thematic analysis was employed to identify patterns and trends in teachers’ reflections and strategies for SDL. Results show that Technology-Based Communities of Practice provide a supportive environment for STEM teachers, fostering collaborative learning and encouraging the adoption of OEP. Teachers reported an increased ability to set learning goals, reflect on their practices, and adapt OEP strategies in their teaching. The study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on professional development in STEM education, highlighting the potential of technology-based CoPs to enhance teachers’ SDL. It recommends the integration of CoPs into professional development programs to improve the quality and effectiveness of SDL among STEM educators.

Why aren’t online learning programs working better in schools: Maybe they need to be more integrated with what is actually taught during whole classroom instruction?
Ethan Scherer , James S. Kim | EdWorkingPapers | Fri, 18 Sep 2026
Computer-assisted learning (CAL)—educational software providing instruction to help students learn concepts and skills—is ubiquitous in US schools. Despite meta-analyses suggesting benefits, national test scores have declined during rapid CAL adoption. This may reflect insufficient research on how and when CAL complements instruction. Using a fixed effect model, we find 60 additional minutes of CAL usage when integrated with classroom instruction improves standardized literacy outcomes by 0.061 standard deviations at a cost of $2.28 per student. Yet a commonly used "naïve" statistical model when not using standardized outcomes biases results upward fourfold, suggesting purported CAL benefits may sometimes reflect biased estimates. We conclude the field should move toward a more nuanced perspective by identifying CAL's comparative advantage rather than whether to use it.

Heterogeneous Fadeout of Cognitive Gains: Evidence from Head Start Preschool
Haoxuan Liu | EdWorkingPapers | Fri, 18 Sep 2026
Fadeout is defined as the decline in an intervention's initial treatment effect in subsequent follow-up periods. This paper uses the Head Start Impact Study to examine heterogeneity in the fadeout of cognitive gains from access to Head Start preschool. I find that Black children experience substantially less fadeout than non-Black children and retain a 0.23 standard deviation gain at the end of kindergarten (p<0.10). A selection-corrected decomposition attributes 74% of the Black--non-Black fadeout differential to differences in cognitive growth between Black and non-Black children under Head Start nonparticipation. Mediation analyses provide suggestive evidence that kindergarten school environments, particularly school achievement levels and time spent in adult-directed individual activities, partially contribute to these divergent growth trajectories. Counterfactual simulations show that reallocating existing Head Start offers toward centers serving predominantly Black applicants reduces aggregate fadeout only modestly because Black children constitute a relatively small share of applicants nationally. These findings suggest that meaningfully improving the persistence of Head Start's cognitive effects may require expanding the program and directing recruitment toward children for whom initial gains are more likely to persist.

Impact of States' Adoption of Response to Intervention (RTI) on Disability Identification
Zhiling M. Shea , Jade M. Jenkins , Christopher Cleveland | EdWorkingPapers | Thu, 17 Sep 2026
The rise of specific learning disability (SLD) identification from 1975 to the early 2000s prompted the 2004 reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act to permit states to use a student's response to intervention (RTI) in eligibility determination to improve identification. Single-state studies report that RTI adoption reduced SLD identification by 11% to 15%. We test whether that pattern holds nationally, using a state-year panel of all 50 states and the District of Columbia from 2000 to 2019 and a staggered-adoption difference-in-differences design that exploits variation in when states adopted RTI. In aggregate, we find no detectable effect on identification of SLD, speech or language impairment (SLI), or any disability. State-level interrupted-time-series analyses describe how individual states’ trajectories moved around the national average; they do not, by themselves, attribute any state’s movement to RTI. In both methods, identification changes are also unrelated to the strength of state policy: states that required RTI in eligibility determination are statistically indistinguishable from states that supported it. We discuss implications for interpreting single-state findings and for the distinction between requiring and supporting RTI policy.

Assistant Principals’ Career Aspirations: Exploring the Supply Side of the School Leadership Pipeline
Anna Moyer , Ellen Goldring | EdWorkingPapers | Thu, 17 Sep 2026
Most assistant principals (APs) seek to become principals in the future. However, little is known about why some APs aspire to the principalship while others wish to remain in the AP role. This study examines the factors that predict APs’ aspirations to the principalship, which is key to understanding the supply of future principals. We use data from the 2024 Tennessee Educator Survey to examine the extent to which APs’ personal characteristics, relationships with their principals, school settings, and professional experiences relate to their self-reported aspirations to the principalship, using crosstabulations and linear probability models. We estimate that 60% of APs in the Tennessee sample aspire to the principalship. Encouragement from their principals and early-career status are the strongest predictors of whether an AP wants to become a principal. Black APs are more likely to aspire to the principalship compared to white APs (a pattern concentrated among Black men), and high school APs are less likely to aspire compared to elementary and middle school APs. Findings from this study highlight opportunities for districts to differentiate development opportunities by APs’ career stage and school level, and can offer guidance for principals on how to intentionally encourage APs to build a strong pool of future leaders.

Incidence and Effects of Reported University Student Absences
Timothy F. Harris , C. Lockwood Reynolds | EdWorkingPapers | Wed, 16 Sep 2026
Despite the potential for illness or bereavement to significantly disrupt education, there is little evidence about the frequency and impact of absences in higher education. Using administrative data from a large public university in the United States, we analyze the incidence of reported student absences and their effects on grades and retention. We document significant heterogeneity in the use of university-excused absences across gender, race/ethnicity, and income levels. This finding offers insight into how students utilize policies to mitigate the adverse effects of absences. Furthermore, estimates show that these reported absences decreased the likelihood of a student returning the next semester, particularly for first-year students. These effects do not vary across student characteristics. Among students who return to the institution, reported absences lower the same-term GPA but do not affect future GPAs. The same semester effects appear to be larger for students from less advantaged backgrounds. These findings are helpful for policymakers seeking to mitigate both disparities in the use of institutional policies designed to help students and the adverse effects of absences on educational outcomes.
