Uncovering Implicit Assumptions: A Large-Scale Study on Students' Mental Models of Diffusion
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Stains, Marilyne; Sevian, Hannah – Research in Science Education, 2015
Students' mental models of diffusion in a gas phase solution were studied through the use of the Structure and Motion of Matter (SAMM) survey. This survey permits identification of categories of ways students think about the structure of the gaseous solute and solvent, the origin of motion of gas particles, and trajectories of solute particles in…

Online Games for Young Learners' Foreign Language Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Butler, Yuko Goto; Someya, Yuumi; Fukuhara, Eiji – ELT Journal, 2014
Young learners' use of instructional games in foreign language learning is not yet well understood. Using games that were part of the learning tools for an online assessment, Jido-Eiken, a standardized English proficiency test for young learners in Japan, we examined young learners' game-playing behaviours and the relationship of these behaviours…

The Journey from Child to Scientist: Integrating Cognitive Development and the Education Sciences
Direct linkDirect link
Carver, Sharon M., Ed.; Shrager, Jeff, Ed. – APA Books, 2012
The impulse to investigate the natural world is deeply rooted in our earliest childhood experiences. This notion has long guided researchers to uncover the cognitive mechanisms underlying the development of scientific reasoning in children. Until recently, however, research in cognitive development and education followed largely independent…

The Socialization of Information Behavior: A Case Study of Cognitive Categories for Library Information
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Cooper, Linda Z. – Library Quarterly, 2004
This article describes several sessions of a larger case study that examined cognitive categories for library information in a group of children in kindergarten through grade 4. While the initial motivation for the project was pragmatic in nature, theoretical issues relating to people's cognitive categories for information are examined as well.…

Development of Elementary School Students' Cognitive Structures and Information Processing Strategies under Long-Term Constructivist-Oriented Science Instruction
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Wu, Ying-Tien; Tsai, Chin-Chung – Science Education, 2005
The main purpose of this study was to explore the effects of long-term constructivist-oriented science instruction on elementary school students' process of constructing cognitive structures. Furthermore, such effects on different science achievers were also investigated. The subjects of this study were 69 fifth graders in Taiwan, while they were…
