Monica Ward; Fiona O'Riordan; Danielle Logan-Fleming; Dervila Cooke; Tara Concannon-Gibney; Marina Efthymiou; Niamh Watkins – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2024
Assessment is a central feature of teaching and learning. It is both complex and challenging in ordinary times, and these aspects are magnified in an online learning environment. Given its central role, it is crucial that its design and purpose is rigorous and robust. This paper presents justification for using interactive oral assessment as an…

Geerts, Walter M.; Steenbeek, Henderien W.; van Geert, Paul L. C. – International Journal of Education and Practice, 2018
Subconsciously, experienced teachers make use of situated knowledge: knowledge that is connected to, and arises from, the interactions between the physical environment where the action takes place and a material body acting in that environment. Since situated knowledge is important in day-to-day teaching to solve incidents, it should be taught in…

Dündar, Sefa – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2015
Using multiple representations of a problem can reveal the relationship between complex concepts by expressing the same mathematical condition differently and can contribute to the meaningful learning of mathematical concepts. The purpose of this study is to assess the performances of mathematics teacher-candidates on trigonometry problems…

Cerruti, Carlo; Schlaug, Gottfried – Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2009
The remote associates test (RAT) is a complex verbal task with associations to both creative thought and general intelligence. RAT problems require not only lateral associations and the internal production of many words but a convergent focus on a single answer. Complex problem-solving of this sort may thus require both substantial verbal…

Baldo, Juliana V.; Bunge, Silvia A.; Wilson, Stephen M.; Dronkers, Nina F. – Brain and Language, 2010
Previous studies with brain-injured patients have suggested that language abilities are necessary for complex problem-solving, even when tasks are non-verbal. In the current study, we tested this notion by analyzing behavioral and neuroimaging data from a large group of left-hemisphere stroke patients (n = 107) suffering from a range of language…

Cunningham, J. Barton; MacGregor, James N.; Gibb, Jenny; Haar, Jarrod – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2009
A central question in creativity concerns how insightful ideas emerge. Anecdotal examples of insightful scientific and technical discoveries include Goodyear's discovery of the vulcanization of rubber, and Mendeleev's realization that there may be gaps as he tried to arrange the elements into the Periodic Table. Although most people would regard…

Faber, Gunter – International Journal of Special Education, 2006
A remedial spelling training approach is presented which systematically combines certain visualizing and verbalizing methods to foster dyslexic students' orthographic knowledge and strategy use. It essentially depends upon an integrative application of algorithmic graphs and verbal self-instructions: Visualization and verbalization are intended…
