Seyedehkhadijeh Azimi Asmaroud – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2023
Textbooks play an important role in teachers' instructional decisions (Jones & Tarr, 2007), which consequently affects students' learning. This paper reports on a comparison of the elementary mathematics textbooks used in Iran and the United States, the Go-Math textbook. I analyzed topic sequences, frequency of the tasks, and cognitive demands…

Qingfang Song; Qi Wang – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2025
This study examined relationship-defining memories in the cultural context and how phenomenological characteristics of those memories were related to psychological well-being. A total of 105 Asian and 108 European American college students (M[subscript age] = 20.16 years; 64% women) each recalled a positive and a negative event significant for…

Schramm, Thilo; Jose, Anika; Schmiemann, Philipp – Education Sciences, 2021
Phylogenetic trees are important tools for teaching and understanding evolution, yet students struggle to read and interpret them correctly. In this study, we extend a study conducted by Catley and Novick (2008) by investigating depictions of evolutionary trees in US textbooks. We investigated 1197 diagrams from 11 German and 11 United States…

McIntyre, Nora A. – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
Access to education is the first step to benefiting from it. Although cumulative online learning experience is linked academic learning gains, between-country inequalities mean that large populations are prevented from accumulating such experience. Low-and-middle-income countries are affected by disadvantages in infrastructure such as internet…

Sheng-Kuei Hsu; Yuling Hsu – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2025
This study was conducted to optimize the designs of learning guides embedded in a computer-based simulation environment. The research was based on the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning and Cognitive Load Theory. We investigated computer simulations under four conditions that combined representation and imagination learning strategies. This…

Choy, Ban Heng; Lee, Mi Yeon; Mizzi, Angel – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2020
Textbooks, which form the staples of a teacher's set of resources, play a critical role in deciding what and how mathematics is taught in classrooms. However, textbooks do not always present concepts in ways that enhance understanding by students, nor are they always comprehensive in the treatment of a topic. In this exploratory study, we analyse…

Coutinho, Mariana V. C.; Papanastasiou, Elena; Agni, Stylianou; Vasko, John M.; Couchman, Justin J. – International Journal of Instruction, 2020
In this study, we examined monitoring accuracy during in class-exams for Emirati, American and Cypriot college students. In experiment 1, 120 students made local, confidence-ratings for each multiple-choice question in a psychology exam and also estimated their performance at the end of the exam. In experiment 2, to investigate the effect of…

Estefanie Aguilar Padilla; Rachel Baker; Sarah Beu – Career and Technical Education Research, 2024
Non-degree postsecondary programs are often seen as complements to, rather than substitutes for, other postsecondary credentials. However, many of these programs could serve as entry points into high-wage, stable careers for students right out of high school. Increasing and equalizing participation in high-quality non-degree postsecondary programs…
