Salar, Riza; Turgut, Umit – Science Education International, 2021
The learning characteristics of each student are different. Differentiated instruction considers individual differences, as such guides the learning journey rather than seeing these differences as a challenge. The purpose of this research was to compare the effects of differentiated instruction and 5E learning cycle in physics classes on the…

Xu, Kate M.; Koorn, Petra; de Koning, Björn; Skuballa, Irene T.; Lin, Lijia; Henderikx, Maartje; Marsh, Herbert W.; Sweller, John; Paas, Fred – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
Many large-scale, school-based interventions have attempted to improve academic performance through promoting students' growth mindset, defined as the belief that one's intellectual ability can increase with practice and time. However, most have shown weak to no effects. Thus, it is important to examine how growth mindset might affect retention…

Summarizing as a Strategy for Science Text Comprehension: Text-Based versus Content-Based Processing
Leopold, Claudia; Brückner, Annette; Dutke, Stephan – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2019
In this experiment, we contrasted two instructions in which the focus of summary writing was varied. We predicted that students would better understand a scientific text when they learn to focus their summaries on the referential content rather than on the hierarchical structure of the text. In a 2 × 2 factorial experiment, 85 Grade-10 students…

Aminah, Mimih; Kusumah, Yaya Sukjaya; Suryadi, Didi; Sumarmo, Utari – International Journal of Instruction, 2018
This paper reports the findings of a quasi-experiment that aims to investigate the role of metacognitive teaching-learning (MTL) and mathematical prior knowledge (MPK) on students' mathematical logical thinking ability (MLTA) and self-regulated learning (SRL). The subject of the study was 70 tenth-grade students inSumedang, Indonesia. One…

Lin, Shu-Fen; Lin, Huann-shyang – International Journal of Science Education, 2016
Comics are popular with adolescents because of their features of humor, narrative, and visual imagery. The purposes of this study were to examine the learning outcomes and emotional perceptions of reading a science comic book and a science text booklet for students of different levels of achievement, and to explore the main factors of the two…

Domina, Thurston; Penner, Andrew M.; Penner, Emily K.; Conley, AnneMarie – Teachers College Record, 2014
Background/Context: Across the United States, secondary school curricula are intensifying as a growing proportion of students enroll in high-level academic math courses. In many districts, this intensification process occurs as early as eighth grade, where schools are effectively constraining their mathematics curricula by restricting course…

Shneyderman, Aleksandr; Froman, Terry – Research Services, Miami-Dade County Public Schools, 2015
In accordance with the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) law of 2001, 100% of students were expected to become proficient on state assessments of reading and mathematics by the end of 2013-2014 academic year. Schools that consistently failed to meet the NCLB's Adequate Yearly Progress requirements were subject to penalties. In 2011, the U.S.…

Asay, Loretta Johnson – ProQuest LLC, 2013
Analogies are ubiquitous during instruction in science classrooms, yet research about the effectiveness of using analogies has produced mixed results. An aspect seldom studied is a model of instruction when using analogies. The few existing models for instruction with analogies have not often been examined quantitatively. The Teaching With…

Barnes, Tiffany, Ed.; Desmarais, Michel, Ed.; Romero, Cristobal, Ed.; Ventura, Sebastian, Ed. – International Working Group on Educational Data Mining, 2009
The Second International Conference on Educational Data Mining (EDM2009) was held at the University of Cordoba, Spain, on July 1-3, 2009. EDM brings together researchers from computer science, education, psychology, psychometrics, and statistics to analyze large data sets to answer educational research questions. The increase in instrumented…
