Orchestrating Numeracy and The Executive: The One Programme

Published: March 7, 2023

The current study focused on the collaboration between cognitive scientists and educators to co-develop progressively refine Orchestrating Numeracy Executive (“The ONE”) Programme, an evidence-based integrated Functions Mathematics intervention composed of professional development play-based activities. This iterative process resulted in high ratings acceptability feasibility, as well acceptable adherence fidelity across settings, combined with knowledge gains for early years practitioners preliminary evidence improved numeracy, particular disadvantaged children. At same time, highlighted general specific barriers implementation multiple possible steps future refinement. Given initial evidence, is being further evaluated a larger scale trial funded by Education Endowment Foundation Stronger Practice Hubs.

Executive functions as predictors of learning prerequisites in preschool: A longitudinal study

Trends in Neuroscience and Education, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 36, P. 100239 - 100239

Published: Aug. 10, 2024

This study focuses on 'learning prerequisites', cognitive and non-cognitive skills crucial for school success, often measured in preschoolers. Executive Functions (EF), like inhibition flexibility, are vital among these prerequisites. While EF's role early literacy numeracy is acknowledged, some components overlooked. The aims to longitudinally explore the link between EF, assessed at beginning of preschool year learning prerequites, end same year. Evaluating 70 preschoolers (62.30 months, SD 4.55), results showed that certain EF measures predicted performance tasks. Specifically, response rhyme syllable recognition, series completion, flexibility recognition. Moreover, particularly inhibition, correlated with overall metaphonology pre-math abilities. findings suggest importance integrating enhancement educational interventions, aiding selecting optimizing later academic success.
