This momentous project is not just a rite of passage but an opportunity to delve deeply into a niche area of interest, contribute to a body of knowledge, and possibly even ignite a career-long pursuit. With the vast expanse of psychology stretching from the neural synapses of the brain to the complex social interactions of communities, the challenge lies not in finding a topic, but in narrowing down the multitude of possibilities!

In this article, we present an expansive list of dissertation topics for psychology students who are in the process of choosing a good dissertation topic .

The ideas provided are designed to encourage exploration of both traditional and avant-garde topics, reflecting the current trends and enduring questions that shape the evolving landscape of psychological research. From the psychological impacts of digital detox to the cognitive rehabilitation techniques for stroke survivors, these topics are designed to accommodate various interests and academic pursuits. They cater not only to a comprehensive academic challenge but also to the practical implications that such research can have on individuals, systems, and societies.

As you take a look at these suggestions, it’s important that you consider not only what interests you but also what excites you. The best dissertation topic is one that you can commit to with passion and curiosity, one that promises a journey of discovery replete with challenges and rewards.

Before we present the list of dissertation ideas for psychology students, let’s take a look at what makes a good dissertation research topic.

What Makes a Good Dissertation Research Topic for Psychology Students?

A good psychology research topic should meet several key criteria to ensure it is valuable, feasible, and has the potential to contribute to the field. Here’s an overview of the characteristics that make a research topic stand out:

• Relevance : The topic should address current issues or gaps in the field of psychology. It needs to be pertinent to contemporary debates, practices, or policies. Relevance also means that the research could have practical applications or implications, potentially informing practitioners, policymakers, or the general public.
• Originality : A good research topic brings a new perspective to a known issue or explores an understudied area. The aim is to contribute original knowledge or insights rather than replicating past studies without adding substantial value.
• Specificity : Broad topics can be overwhelming and impractical to tackle within the constraints of a typical research timeline and budget. A well-defined and focused research question allows for a more thorough and in-depth study.
• Clarity : The topic should be framed in a way that is understandable and clear. This means avoiding jargon when unnecessary and defining key terms. A clearly articulated research question guides the methodology and helps maintain focus throughout the project.
• Feasibility : This involves considering the researcher’s access to subjects, resources, and data. The research should be achievable within the given time frame and with available resources. Feasibility also concerns the ethical considerations and approval processes required for conducting research.
• Interest : A researcher’s personal interest and passion for a topic can significantly influence the quality of the research. It’s beneficial if the topic resonates with the researcher’s own scholarly interests and curiosities.
• Scope for Scientific Method : Good psychology research topics should allow for systematic investigation through accepted scientific methods. This includes the potential for hypothesis testing, operationalization of variables, and the use of statistical analysis to draw conclusions.
• Ethical Soundness : Psychology research often involves human subjects, which necessitates careful ethical consideration. A good topic should conform to ethical standards, ensuring the privacy, consent, and welfare of participants.
• Implications : Lastly, a good research topic should have clear theoretical, practical, or clinical implications. It should contribute to a greater understanding of the human mind and behavior, potentially leading to better psychological interventions or therapies.

While selecting a research topic for your dissertation is important, you should never overlook the importance of the writing and editing process. Dissertation proofreading services can help you refine your final draft and ensure it presents you in the best possible light.

Psychology-Related Dissertations & Theses

While the ideas we’ve presented above are a decent starting point for finding a research topic in psychology, they are fairly generic and non-specific. So, it helps to look at actual dissertations and theses to see how this all comes together in practice.

Below, we’ve included a selection of research projects from various psychology degree programs to help refine your thinking. These are actual dissertations and theses, written as part of Master’s and PhD-level programs, so they can provide some useful insight as to what a research topic looks like in practice.

• Effects of a Patient Question Prompt List on Outpatient Palliative Care Appointments (McDarby, 2022)
• The role of affect and exercise goals in physical activity engagement in younger and older adults (Stojanovic, 2022)
• Lay Theories about Whether Emotion Helps or Hinders Reasoning and Well-being (Karnaze, 2022)
• The effects of blast-induced traumatic brain injury on two transgenic models of Alzheimer’s Disease (Gann, 2020)
• Understanding the parental mind: Examining the stability of parental reflective functioning across the birth of a child and associations with maternal mind-mindedness (Pitzen, 2021)
• An investigation of ineffective ally behaviours (Collier, 2019)
• Response Inhibition-Related Beta Power: Distinguishing Cognitively Intact Elders by Risk for Alzheimer’s Disease (Evans, 2021)
• Recognition Memory of Extremely High-Frequency Words (Miller, 2019)
• The Relationship between Dementia Caregiver Burden and Caregiver Communications in a Memory Clinic Setting (Martin, 2021)

• Electromyography As A Means of Predicting The Rubber Hand Illusion (Teaford, 2021)
• Linking Diversity Climate and Feedback Seeking Through Interpersonal Processes and Race Effects (Flores, 2021)

Looking at these titles, you can probably pick up that the research topics here are far more specific and narrowly-focused , compared to the generic ones presented earlier. This is an important thing to keep in mind as you develop your own research topic. That is to say, to create a top-notch research topic, you must be precise and target a specific context with specific variables of interest . In other words, you need to identify a clear, well-justified research gap.

Are you searching for a great topic for your psychology paper ? Sometimes it seems like coming up with topics of psychology research is more challenging than the actual research and writing. Fortunately, there are plenty of great places to find inspiration and the following list contains just a few ideas to help get you started.

Finding a solid topic is one of the most important steps when writing any type of paper. It can be particularly important when you are writing a psychology research paper or essay. Psychology is such a broad topic, so you want to find a topic that allows you to adequately cover the subject without becoming overwhelmed with information.

I can always tell when a student really cares about the topic they chose; it comes through in the writing. My advice is to choose a topic that genuinely interests you, so you’ll be more motivated to do thorough research.

In some cases, such as in a general psychology class, you might have the option to select any topic from within psychology's broad reach. Other instances, such as in an  abnormal psychology  course, might require you to write your paper on a specific subject such as a psychological disorder.

As you begin your search for a topic for your psychology paper, it is first important to consider the guidelines established by your instructor.

Research Topics Within Specific Branches of Psychology

The key to selecting a good topic for your psychology paper is to select something that is narrow enough to allow you to really focus on the subject, but not so narrow that it is difficult to find sources or information to write about.

One approach is to narrow your focus down to a subject within a specific branch of psychology. For example, you might start by deciding that you want to write a paper on some sort of social psychology topic. Next, you might narrow your focus down to how persuasion can be used to influence behavior .

Other social psychology topics you might consider include:

Psychology Research Topics Involving a Disorder or Type of Therapy

Exploring a psychological disorder or a specific treatment modality can also be a good topic for a psychology paper. Some potential abnormal psychology topics include specific psychological disorders or particular treatment modalities, including:

• Eating disorders
• Borderline personality disorder
• Seasonal affective disorder
• Schizophrenia
• Antisocial personality disorder
• Profile a  type of therapy  (i.e., cognitive-behavioral therapy, group therapy, psychoanalytic therapy)

Topics of Psychology Research Related to Human Cognition

Some of the possible topics you might explore in this area include thinking, language, intelligence, and decision-making. Other ideas might include:

• False memories
• Speech disorders
• Problem-solving

Topics of Psychology Research Related to Human Development

In this area, you might opt to focus on issues pertinent to  early childhood  such as language development, social learning, or childhood attachment or you might instead opt to concentrate on issues that affect older adults such as dementia or Alzheimer's disease.

Some other topics you might consider include:

• Language acquisition
• Media violence and children
• Learning disabilities
• Gender roles
• Child abuse
• Prenatal development
• Parenting styles
• Aspects of the aging process

Do a Critique of Publications Involving Psychology Research Topics

One option is to consider writing a critique paper of a published psychology book or academic journal article. For example, you might write a critical analysis of Sigmund Freud's Interpretation of Dreams or you might evaluate a more recent book such as Philip Zimbardo's  The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil .

Professional and academic journals are also great places to find materials for a critique paper. Browse through the collection at your university library to find titles devoted to the subject that you are most interested in, then look through recent articles until you find one that grabs your attention.

Topics of Psychology Research Related to Famous Experiments

There have been many fascinating and groundbreaking experiments throughout the history of psychology, providing ample material for students looking for an interesting term paper topic. In your paper, you might choose to summarize the experiment, analyze the ethics of the research, or evaluate the implications of the study. Possible experiments that you might consider include:

• The Milgram Obedience Experiment
• The Stanford Prison Experiment
• The Little Albert Experiment
• Pavlov's Conditioning Experiments
• The Asch Conformity Experiment
• Harlow's Rhesus Monkey Experiments

Topics of Psychology Research About Historical Figures

One of the simplest ways to find a great topic is to choose an interesting person in the  history of psychology  and write a paper about them. Your paper might focus on many different elements of the individual's life, such as their biography, professional history, theories, or influence on psychology.

While this type of paper may be historical in nature, there is no need for this assignment to be dry or boring. Psychology is full of fascinating figures rife with intriguing stories and anecdotes. Consider such famous individuals as Sigmund Freud, B.F. Skinner, Harry Harlow, or one of the many other  eminent psychologists .

Psychology Research Topics About a Specific Career

​Another possible topic, depending on the course in which you are enrolled, is to write about specific career paths within the  field of psychology . This type of paper is especially appropriate if you are exploring different subtopics or considering which area interests you the most.

In your paper, you might opt to explore the typical duties of a psychologist, how much people working in these fields typically earn, and the different employment options that are available.

Topics of Psychology Research Involving Case Studies

One potentially interesting idea is to write a  psychology case study  of a particular individual or group of people. In this type of paper, you will provide an in-depth analysis of your subject, including a thorough biography.

Generally, you will also assess the person, often using a major psychological theory such as  Piaget's stages of cognitive development  or  Erikson's eight-stage theory of human development . It is also important to note that your paper doesn't necessarily have to be about someone you know personally.

In fact, many professors encourage students to write case studies on historical figures or fictional characters from books, television programs, or films.

Psychology Research Topics Involving Literature Reviews

Another possibility that would work well for a number of psychology courses is to do a literature review of a specific topic within psychology. A literature review involves finding a variety of sources on a particular subject, then summarizing and reporting on what these sources have to say about the topic.

Literature reviews are generally found in the  introduction  of journal articles and other  psychology papers , but this type of analysis also works well for a full-scale psychology term paper.

Topics of Psychology Research Based on Your Own Study or Experiment

Many psychology courses require students to design an actual psychological study or perform some type of experiment. In some cases, students simply devise the study and then imagine the possible results that might occur. In other situations, you may actually have the opportunity to collect data, analyze your findings, and write up your results.

Finding a topic for your study can be difficult, but there are plenty of great ways to come up with intriguing ideas. Start by considering your own interests as well as subjects you have studied in the past.

Online sources, newspaper articles, books , journal articles, and even your own class textbook are all great places to start searching for topics for your experiments and psychology term papers. Before you begin, learn more about  how to conduct a psychology experiment .

What This Means For You

After looking at this brief list of possible topics for psychology papers, it is easy to see that psychology is a very broad and diverse subject. While this variety makes it possible to find a topic that really catches your interest, it can sometimes make it very difficult for some students to select a good topic.

If you are still stumped by your assignment, ask your instructor for suggestions and consider a few from this list for inspiration.

The Range of Education Thesis Topics

Education is a dynamic field, constantly evolving in response to societal changes, technological advancements, and cultural shifts. The selection of a thesis topic in education is crucial, as it not only contributes to the academic development of students but also impacts the broader educational landscape. This in-depth article on education thesis topics explores the range of potential areas for scholarly research, highlighting the importance of choosing topics that are not only of personal interest but also of significant relevance to current issues, recent trends, and future directions in education. By delving into these dimensions, students can position their work to contribute meaningfully to ongoing conversations and innovations in the field. Whether you are examining traditional educational theories or exploring cutting-edge technologies, the goal remains the same: to enhance understanding and improve educational practices across diverse settings.

Current Issues in Education

The landscape of education is continually shaped by a variety of pressing issues that demand attention from educators, policymakers, and researchers. Education thesis topics that focus on these current issues are pivotal for students who aim to make meaningful contributions to the field. This section explores several significant challenges and areas of concern that are shaping educational discourse today.

• Educational Equity and Access: One of the critical areas within current education thesis topics is the persistent inequality in access to quality education. Disparities based on socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, and geographical location significantly impact educational outcomes. Thesis topics in this area could explore strategies for improving access to high-quality education for underrepresented and disadvantaged groups, examining the effectiveness of policy interventions or the role of technology in bridging these gaps.
• Impact of Technology on Learning: The integration of technology in education has accelerated due to the global shift to online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Education thesis topics could investigate the long-term effects of remote learning on student academic performance and social skills, or explore the development of new pedagogical models that effectively integrate digital tools, addressing the digital divide and concerns over student data privacy and security.
• Mental Health in Educational Settings: Increasing awareness of mental health issues highlights the importance of supporting student well-being in educational environments. Education thesis topics can focus on evaluating the effectiveness of mental health programs in schools or exploring how educational settings can be designed to better support the mental health of both students and educators. This provides a fertile ground for thesis research aimed at developing effective support mechanisms.
• Curriculum Relevance and Reform: As the demands of the workforce evolve, there is a pressing need for curriculum reform to ensure that students are equipped with relevant skills for the future. Education thesis topics addressing these issues might involve examining the alignment of current curricula with the skills needed in today’s job market or evaluating the implementation and outcomes of curriculum innovations.
• Teacher Retention and Professional Development: Teacher turnover remains a significant issue in education, affecting the stability and quality of teaching. Education thesis topics in this area might include studies on the factors influencing teacher retention, the impact of teacher professional development on educational outcomes, or innovative strategies to enhance teacher engagement and satisfaction.

Addressing these education thesis topics through rigorous research not only contributes to academic growth but also plays a crucial role in shaping effective and responsive educational practices. Each of these areas offers a wealth of opportunities for developing thesis topics that can have a real-world impact, enhancing the educational experiences of learners and empowering educators across the globe.

Recent Trends in Education

Education is an ever-evolving field, with new methodologies, technologies, and philosophies continually reshaping the way knowledge is imparted and absorbed. Understanding these shifts is crucial for developing relevant education thesis topics. This section highlights some of the most significant recent trends in education that are influencing current research and teaching practices.

• Technology Integration: One of the prominent recent trends in education is the increased integration of technology in the classroom. Education thesis topics might explore how digital tools such as AI, VR, and cloud computing are transforming traditional teaching methodologies and student engagement. This trend has accelerated due to the necessity of remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, offering a rich area for investigation into its long-term effects on educational outcomes.
• Personalized Learning: Tailoring education to individual student needs and learning styles is becoming more feasible through data analytics and adaptive learning technologies. Recent trends in education suggest a move towards more personalized education, which is particularly relevant for thesis topics that investigate the effectiveness of these approaches in improving student learning and retention rates.
• Sustainability Education: As global awareness of environmental issues increases, so does the emphasis on sustainability within educational curricula. Recent trends in education highlight the integration of sustainability into all levels of education as a critical area of study. Education thesis topics could examine how sustainability is being taught in schools and its impact on student attitudes and behaviors towards the environment.
• Social and Emotional Learning (SEL): Another growing trend in the field of education is the focus on social and emotional learning. This trend emphasizes the importance of developing skills such as empathy, self-awareness, and emotional regulation. Education thesis topics could explore the integration of SEL into the curriculum, its effectiveness, and how it impacts academic and social outcomes.
• Inclusive Education: The push towards more inclusive educational practices that accommodate diverse learning needs, including those of students with disabilities, is a significant trend. Education thesis topics could focus on strategies for successful inclusion, the impact of inclusive policies on school culture, and student achievement.
• Lifelong Learning: The concept of lifelong learning has gained momentum, reflecting the continuous need for skill development in a rapidly changing world. Recent trends in education emphasize the importance of fostering lifelong learning habits, making it a compelling area for education thesis topics. These might investigate programs designed to encourage lifelong learning or evaluate methods for teaching skills that facilitate continuous personal and professional development.

Each of these recent trends in education provides a framework for valuable education thesis topics. By focusing on these areas, students can contribute to the dialogue on how best to adapt educational practices to meet the needs of today’s learners and tomorrow’s challenges.

Future Directions in Education

As we look towards the future, education continues to adapt to new challenges and opportunities. Identifying potential advancements and shifts within the field is crucial for students seeking to develop forward-thinking education thesis topics. This section explores several key areas that are likely to shape the future directions in education.

Integration of Emerging Technologies: One of the most anticipated future directions in education is the broader integration of emerging technologies such as blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT), and advanced artificial intelligence. Education thesis topics could explore how these technologies might revolutionize aspects of education management, security, personalized learning, and student assessment, offering new efficiencies and enhancing educational experiences.

• Global Education Systems: As globalization increases, there is a growing emphasis on global education frameworks that can provide consistent educational standards across borders. Future directions in education may involve the development of more unified global education policies and practices. Thesis topics might examine the impacts of these systems on local education traditions, student mobility, and international collaboration.
• Holistic Education Models: There is a shifting focus towards more holistic education models that emphasize not just academic skills but also physical health, mental well-being, and social responsibility. Future directions in education could see these models becoming more mainstream, with education thesis topics exploring the integration of holistic education practices in schools and their effects on student well-being and societal engagement.
• Decentralization of Education: The future might hold more decentralized education models, facilitated by technology, where learning is not confined to traditional classroom settings. Education thesis topics could investigate the potential of decentralized models to democratize access to education, personalize learning experiences, and reduce costs.
• Ethics and Education: As technology becomes more integrated into educational settings, ethical considerations regarding privacy, data security, and equality become increasingly important. Future directions in education will likely need to address these ethical challenges, providing rich areas for thesis research into best practices and regulatory frameworks.
• Lifelong and Lifewide Learning: The concept of lifelong learning is expected to expand into lifewide learning, where education spans multiple aspects of life and careers. Education thesis topics could focus on how educational institutions can support lifelong and lifewide learning paradigms, the impact on career development, and the implications for traditional educational pathways.
• Sustainability and Education: As environmental concerns continue to grow, future directions in education will increasingly need to integrate sustainability into all levels of education. Thesis topics might explore innovative ways to teach sustainability, the effectiveness of these educational programs, and their long-term impacts on environmental consciousness.

These future directions in education offer a broad array of possibilities for education thesis topics, each with the potential to significantly impact how education is delivered and experienced. By focusing on these emerging trends, students can position their research at the cutting edge of educational development, contributing valuable insights and solutions to the evolving challenges of the field.

In conclusion, the exploration of education thesis topics offers a window into the complex, ever-changing world of education. As this article has shown, engaging with current issues, embracing recent trends, and anticipating future directions are critical for students who wish to make impactful contributions through their research. From addressing the challenges of digital learning environments to enhancing strategies for inclusive education, the possibilities are vast and varied. By selecting a thesis topic that resonates with contemporary educational needs and future aspirations, students can contribute to the development of more effective, equitable, and innovative educational practices.

Choosing a dissertation topic.

Graduate students may take several approaches to choosing a dissertation topic. While a perfunctory approach may hasten a degree, establishing a standard of quality will enable you to both advance the field and also evolve our own career. Eight steps are presented below to aid the graduate student in selecting a dissertation topic.

1. THE DISSERTATION TAKES PRIORITY. Following completion of comprehensive examinations and coursework, graduate students may often view their graduate education as almost over. On the contrary, the dissertation actually marks a new era of study. As a doctoral candidate, your procedural formalities are no longer dictated by faculty. Rather, you must examine the selected topic, create a timeline for its development, and alter your lifestyle to assure its completion.

2. PICK AN INTERESTING TOPIC. If your topic is simply your professor’s pet area, you should be aware the topic may lose appeal before it’s even “housebroken.” Furthermore, if your professor moves on to another interest area, you will be stranded and possibly unable to complete your work. Remember, this is a topic that should keep you engrossed and motivated for at least one to two years. Pick it as carefully as you would a new pair of dress shoes.

3. BE AWARE OF ONGOING RESEARCH. Many students may spend a year researching a topic before finally selecting one for their dissertation. You must examine current literature both specifically and generally. One way to do this is to contact key researchers to help you identify published and unpublished studies. Conduct periodic key word searches in computerized databases to identify new angles or problems associated with your topic. Keep in mind this is a daunting and interminable task, as new research is always evolving. Be sure your time is not monopolized studying new research at the expense of analyzing your own.

4. DEFINE YOUR CONSTRUCTS CLEARLY. Terms such as “memory,” “intelligence,” and “educational level” may derive different meanings among diverse psychological scientists. Evaluate your constructs and obtain references to support your construct definition. If your definition veers from the accepted literature, be prepared to defend the definitional defiance to your committee and reviewers who may later, hopefully, publish your results.

5. EVALUATE WHETHER YOUR TOPIC IS PUBLISHABLE. While reviewing the literature, determine if your completed project will “fit” the Zeitgeist of an existing journal. You should be able to place yourself in the desk of a reviewer and assess, with minimal doubt, whether or not your dissertation would enhance the integrity of a reputable journal.

6. EVALUATE YOUR TOPIC’S IMPORTANCE. Certainly your topic must be important to you, but it must also add to your field of interest. Your topic should offer additional insight into an existing problem, and offer an opportunity to demonstrate your level of expertise and quality of scholarship.

7. ESTABLISH GOOD COMMITTEE RELATIONSHIPS. Your dissertation committee will establish either a direct or de facto relationship with both you and your topic. Obtain feedback from committee members if they can offer specialized support or, if individual members have an area of interest that can be incorporated as a hypothesis subtopic, try to include a discussion of this somewhere in the dissertation. The more committee members who “own” a part of your topic, the more who will support your defense, leading you toward appropriate publication.

8. ESTABLISH A TIMELINE FOR COMPLETION. A timeline will further assist you in selecting your topic. Some projects may be completed in one year, while others may take two years or longer. Select a topic that will be manageable within the selected deadline parameter.

Of course there are many other questions not answered above: Is the project fundable? Will it pass IRB review? Should you use parametric or non-parametric statistics? What is an appropriate research design? These are all very important questions that will also require evaluation. Making a list of your questions and carving out proposed answers may prove helpful in this process.

Completing a dissertation requires careful planning and insight from choosing a topic to the final defense. Perhaps, the above suggestions will aid in not only identifying an appropriate topic, but also prompt completion of a project that will add to the field of psychological science.

Transgender Exclusion in Sports

As of June 2023, the Equality Federation identified 72 bills introduced to ban transgender students from athletics consistent with their gender identity around the United States, up from 29 such bills introduced in 2022. As of November 2023, the Map Movement Project reported 24 states banned transgender students from participating in sports consistent with their gender identity. Antitransgender sports legislation often requires that all students be on sports teams and compete in sports competitions based on their gender assigned at birth. These efforts assume that transgender girls—often framed as cisgender boys claiming to be girls—hold biological advantages in girls’ sports, effectively undermining fairness in sports. These efforts have not been met without opposition. In addition to local and national grassroots movements, the American Civil Liberties Union, Lambda Legal, and the Human Rights Campaign have filled lawsuits across the U.S. opposing antitransgender student athletics legislation.

Activists posit that antitransgender athletics efforts are also motivated by anti-Blackness in that they reflect long-standing gendered racist discrimination toward Black women for being deemed “too masculine” (Clifton, 2021). Without conclusive evidence that transgender girls are “biologically male,” this policy and legislation stands on antitransgender accusations that have disproportionately been used to discriminate against Black women in the U.S. and abroad.

Antitransgender sports efforts increasingly emerged following the high-profile cases of Andraya Yearwood and Terry Miller, two Black transgender high school girls competing in girls’ track teams in Connecticut. Despite having previously defeated Yearwood and Miller, three White cisgender girls were plaintiffs in a February 2020 lawsuit that argued that transgender girls’ participation in girls’ sports competitions violates protections against gender-based discrimination under Title IX (Clifton, 2021). In April 2021, a federal judge dismissed the lawsuit.

Suggested discussion points

• Transgender children vary in athletic ability, just as other youth do. There is no evidence to support claims that allowing transgender student athletes to play on the team that fits their gender identity would affect the fairness of the sport or competition (ACLU, 2020). In February 2021, the National Coalition for Women and Girls in Education issued a statement supporting transgender and nonbinary students’ full and equal participation in all education programs and activities, including sports (see Resources section below). The American Psychological Association took the same position in February 2020 (APA, 2020).
• A person’s gender identity is how each person self-defines their gender. This may or may not be consistent with the sex someone was assigned at birth (APA, 2009). Gender identity is central to how children and adolescents perceive themselves (APA 2015). Requiring transgender youth to athletically compete on teams based on their sex/gender assigned at birth is the same as banning them from athletic competition entirely (ACLU, 2020).
• There is ample evidence that an opportunity for adolescents to participate in sports results in positive outcomes, such as better grades, greater homework completion, higher educational and occupational aspirations, and improved self-esteem (Darling et al., 2005; Fredericks & Eccles, 2006; Marsh & Kleitman, 2003; Nelson, & Gordon-Larsen, 2006; Ortega et al., 2008; U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2008). Additionally, excluding any subset of girls from sports can encourage divisiveness and compromise group cohesion, undermining the benefits all youth deserve from team sports (ACLU, 2020). All youth should have access to the benefits of sports.

Science, social studies classes can help young English-learning students learn to read and write in English

by Joey Pitchford, North Carolina State University

A new study finds that science and social studies classes may also help young students learn English, even when those classes include difficult and technical vocabulary. The paper is published in the Journal of Educational Psychology .

The study, which observed first- and second-grade students in 30 elementary schools in North Carolina, encouraged teachers to keep their English-learning students in class during science and social studies lessons. Science and social studies textbooks in those grades are often relatively technical and difficult for students, so traditional teaching methods in North Carolina encourage teachers to remove English-learning students from those content classes to focus on their language skills instead.

By creating a 10-week literacy program—known as a Tier 1 intervention—which kept English-learners in science and social studies classes, researchers found that those students saw improvements in their ability to write argumentative essays and use new academic vocabulary. The study highlights the importance of giving English-learners access to academic content, said Jackie Relyea, corresponding author of the study and assistant professor of literacy education at North Carolina State University.

"This study shows how important it is to provide equitable opportunities for English-learners to build knowledge in science and history, and to apply that knowledge through informational texts alongside their peers," Relyea said. "What we found was that when English-learners have access to content-rich literacy instruction, they develop content knowledge as well as language, reading comprehension, and writing skills."

The program used methods like interactive read-alouds, collaborative research and concept mapping to build students' vocabulary and understanding of complex topics. Concept mapping refers to using diagrams or similar visual aids to depict connections between ideas.

Significantly, the study found that English-learners had similar levels of improvement in science and social studies vocabulary and argumentative writing as their English-proficient classmates across the 10-week program. Notably, the intervention did not lead to negative results elsewhere, which supports the idea that English-learning students can attend more complex classes without falling behind. This further suggests that content-rich literacy instruction may help narrow the achievement gap between English-learners and their peers.

The intervention also modified classes to cover individual subjects for longer. That way, Relyea said, English-learners could get comfortable with a subject early on and then continue to get value from that knowledge later.

"One thing we noticed is the importance of using coherent text sets that focus on a single topic. In more traditional literacy instruction, our study found that topics tended to change quickly and there wasn't always a consistent throughline that the students could grab on to," she said.

"By focusing on similar subjects for longer, kids can dig deeper and develop more in-depth knowledge. It may be challenging at first, but when students encounter the same new words day after day, they become familiar with them and expand their vocabulary network. Staying on a thematic unit for longer periods also helps them become experts in the subject matter, which greatly enhances their vocabulary and comprehension skills."

The study challenges widely held assumptions about English-learners' academic capabilities, and highlights their readiness to engage with complex subject material despite their developing English proficiency. Relyea said that further research into incorporating small-group supplemental instruction could be valuable, potentially enhancing the effectiveness of the program even further.
