Area of Science:
- Educational Psychology
- Developmental Psychology
- Cognitive Science
Background:
- Executive functions (EF) are crucial for academic success and self-regulation.
- Promoting EF in school-aged children and adolescents is a key developmental goal.
- A comprehensive map of current EF interventions in educational settings is needed.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically map interventions designed to enhance executive functions in children and adolescents within school contexts.
- To identify the types, characteristics, and frequency of different EF interventions used in educational settings.
Main Methods:
- A scoping review methodology was employed.
- Systematic literature searches were conducted across eight major academic databases.
- 122 studies, identifying 133 interventions (108 distinct), were analyzed.
Main Results:
- Most interventions targeted typically developing children and adolescents.
- Interventions were predominantly individual, often incorporating playful or computerized elements.
- The most frequent interventions included Cogmed, Working Memory Training, Carribean Quest Game, and Captain's Log.
- The majority of interventions focused on a single EF component, with working memory being the most targeted.
Conclusions:
- EF interventions in schools represent a significant strategy for skill promotion and difficulty prevention.
- These interventions can capitalize on the critical developmental window for EF and self-regulation in childhood and adolescence.
- Findings highlight evolving approaches to EF promotion within educational contexts.
