Jiun-Wei Guo; Hsiao-Ching She; Meng-Jun Chen; Pei-Yi Tsai – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2023
The individual problem-solving (IPS) and collaborative problem-solving (CPS) have received a lot of attention, yet little research has been conducted to investigate whether CPS and IPS are equally effective in improving students' understanding of physics concepts, problem-solving abilities, and minimizing achievement gaps. Therefore, the present…

Morris, Su; Farran, Emily K.; Dumontheil, Iroise – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2019
Field independence describes the extent to which individuals are influenced by context when trying to identify embedded targets. It associates with cognitive functioning and is a predictor of academic achievement. However, little is known about the neural and cognitive underpinnings of field independence that lead to these associations. Here, we…
