Ingrid P. Hernandez Sibo; David A. Gomez Celis; Shyhnan Liou – Educational Psychology Review, 2024
Creative thinking, recognized as a fundamental life skill, is a complex process influenced by cognitive load. While literature has addressed the integration of cognitive load theory into creative thinking research, a comprehensive synthesis is lacking. To address this gap, we conducted a systematic review and deductive thematic analysis, drawing…

Ronald Barnett; Kelsey Inouye – Arts and Humanities in Higher Education: An International Journal of Theory, Research and Practice, 2025
Academic writing is a complex and often painful process, made more difficult by the alienating pressures placed on academics to publish. In this paper, we offer an analysis of this pain that is both phenomenological and realist. We draw on literatures from several disciplines and our own experiences as academic writers to identify seven 'pains',…

Yadi Yu; Wenbo Zhao; Anran Li; David R. Shanks; Xiao Hu; Liang Luo; Chunliang Yang – Educational Psychology Review, 2025
Retrieval practice is well-established as a powerful tool for reinforcing long-term learning. Most previous research has concentrated on the effectiveness of overt retrieval, involving recalling information from memory and generating overt responses by writing, typing, or speaking aloud the retrieved information. Here we ask whether covert…

Christine C. A. van Nooijen; Bjorn B. de Koning; Wichor M. Bramer; Anna Isahakyan; Maryam Asoodar; Ellen Kok; Jeroen J. G. van Merrienboer; Fred Paas – Educational Psychology Review, 2024
Visual problem-solving is an essential skill for professionals in various visual domains. Novices in these domains acquire such skills through interactions with experts (e.g., apprenticeships). Experts guide novice visual problem-solving with scaffolding behaviours. However, there is little consensus about the description and classification of…

Samah AlKhuzaey; Floriana Grasso; Terry R. Payne; Valentina Tamma – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2024
Designing and constructing pedagogical tests that contain items (i.e. questions) which measure various types of skills for different levels of students equitably is a challenging task. Teachers and item writers alike need to ensure that the quality of assessment materials is consistent, if student evaluations are to be objective and effective.…

Bephyer Parey; Elisabeth Kutscher – Journal of Mixed Methods Research, 2024
Rigor evaluation in mixed methods research is a growing need. Linking rigor to Hong and Pluye's (2019) concepts of methodological and reporting quality, the purpose of this article is to operationalize and expand Harrison et al.'s (2020) Rigorous Mixed Methods Framework. Drawing from a systematic methodological review of 66 inclusive education…

Shu Chen; Xiaoting Liu; Norfarizah Mohd Bakhir; Yang Yu – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
This paper studies the effect of learning efficiency through various animations in conjunction with instructional teaching of traditional Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) crafts projects. The germane cognitive load (GCL) is defined as an investment in cognitive resources for schema development and automation. This study employs four…

Alexander Eitel; Marie-Christin Krebs; Claudia Schöne – Educational Psychology Review, 2025
Given the many opportunities for technology use in education nowadays (e.g., Large language models, explainer videos, digital quizzing), teachers should know and rely on evidence-based answers to questions about when, how, and why technology-augmented instruction helps or hinders learning. To date, finding these answers requires integrating…

Jana Gonnermann-Müller; Jule M. Krüger – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2025
Background: Despite the numerous positive effects of augmented reality (AR) on learning, previous research has shown ambiguous results regarding the cognitive demand on the learner arising from, for example, the overlay of virtual elements or novel interaction techniques. At the same time, the number of evidence-based guidelines on designing AR is…

Yuko Suzuki; Fridolin Wild; Eileen Scanlon – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: Cognitive load during AR use has been measured conventionally by performance tests and subjective rating. With the growing interest in physiological measurement using non-invasive biometric sensors, unbiased real-time detection of cognitive load in AR is expected. However, a range of sensors and parameters are used in various subject…
