Ulrike Franke; Iris Backfisch; Luisa Scherzinger; Arash Tolou; Christoph Thyssen; Taiga Brahm; Ina Rudolf; Andreas Lachner – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2024
Peer feedback is regarded as playing a vital role in fostering preservice teachers' noticing and reasoning skills during technology integration. However, novices in particular (e.g., pre-service teachers) tend to provide rather superficial feedback, which does not necessarily contribute to professional development. Against this background, we…

Izel Yenisoy; Sibel Tatar – European Journal of Education, 2025
This qualitative study investigated the impact of explicit instruction, collaborative reflective tasks, and constructive feedback on the criticality of student teachers' (STs') reflections over time. The participants were 26 STs who were engaged in a second language teacher education (SLTE) programme at a research university in Istanbul, Turkey.…

Lange, Christopher; Gorbunova, Anna; Shcheglova, Irina; Costley, Jamie – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2023
Research often examines cognitive load as it relates to direct instruction, worked examples and problem-solving combined as an integrated whole. The present study examines these strategies in isolation to see their effect on cognitive load. Using learning materials covering the basics of critical thinking to undergraduate law students (n = 160) at…

Chen, Ouhao; Woolcott, Geoff; Kalyuga, Slava – Educational and Developmental Psychologist, 2021
In cognitive load theory, the superiority of the Example-Problem sequence over the Problem-Example sequence has become a classic paradigm. The comparative effectiveness of these sequences, however, is subject to the influence of the factors of element interactivity and prior knowledge, and studies have examined these influences focused mostly on…

Inaltekin, Tufan; Kirman Bilgin, Arzu – International Journal of Contemporary Educational Research, 2022
The purpose of this research is to examine how working individually and as a team in solving pedagogical scenarios for teaching science subjects is reflected in the teaching preferences of preservice science teachers. This interpretive case study was conducted with 69 preservice science teachers studying at a university in eastern Turkey. The data…

Steenhof, Naomi; Woods, Nicole N.; Van Gerven, Pascal W. M.; Mylopoulos, Maria – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2019
Productive failure is an instructional approach that requires learners to struggle as they attempt to generate solutions to problems before, rather than after, receiving direct instruction on a targeted concept. Studies demonstrate that productive failure prepares students for later learning of new, related knowledge. Our study explored the…

Hulaikah, Mifta; Degeng, I. Nyoman Sudana; Sulton; Murwani, F. Danardana – International Journal of Instruction, 2020
This study examined the effect of experiential learning and the adversity quotient in the problem-solving ability of accounting vocational college students. The subjects were 120 participants selected and assigned to control and experimental groups. The experimental group was given experiential learning with four steps. Learners participated in a…

Bundock, Kaitlin; Callan, Gregory L.; Longhurst, David; Rolf, Kristen R.; Benney, Chandler M.; McClain, Maryellen Brunson – Insights into Learning Disabilities, 2021
Research on mathematics interventions for college students with learning disabilities (LD) is sparse, yet mathematics is critical for post-secondary success. Prior research indicates that many effective strategies for teaching mathematics to secondary students with LD (e.g., manipulatives and cognitive strategies) can also improve the mathematics…

Burkholder, Eric; Blackmon, Lena; Wieman, Carl – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
Much work has been done to characterize the reasoning of students as they solve mathematics-intensive problems and characterizing differences in expert and novice problem solving. In this work, we characterize the problem-solving strategies in a classroom setting of "transitioning novices," students who have completed an introductory…

Gordon, Stuart; Gardner, Dianne; Weston, Jenny; Bolwell, Charlotte; Benschop, Jackie; Parkinson, Tim – Education Sciences, 2021
The importance of professional skills teaching and assessment within veterinary education has recently been highlighted in the veterinary education literature. This academic discourse follows the acknowledgement by both veterinary employers and graduates themselves that new graduates often lack the professional skills and attitudes needed for…

Weaver, Joanna P. – ProQuest LLC, 2019
This study tested the hypothesis that exploratory learning, with and without analogous problems, would improve students' ability to make connections between conceptually-related topics. In this randomized experiment, undergraduates in introductory physics (N = 171) studied a new topic under three different instructional conditions. Order and type…

Winarno, Sri; Muthu, Kalaiarasi Sonai; Ling, Lew Sook – International Education Studies, 2018
Direct instruction approach has been widely used in higher education. Many studies revealed that direct instruction improved students' knowledge. The characteristics of direct instruction include the subject delivered through face-to-face interaction with the lecturers and materials that sequenced deliberately and taught explicitly. However,…

Horiguchi, Tomoya; Tomoto, Takahito; Hirashima, Tsukasa – Research and Practice in Technology Enhanced Learning, 2015
In science education, conventional problem practice hardly helps students reach "conceptual understanding" with which they can solve various problems by making appropriate models of target systems. Students often superficially read the solution of a problem and apply it wrongly to others without understanding the model. It is difficult…

Swaincott Kautz, Natalie Lynn – ProQuest LLC, 2016
The purpose of this investigation was to identify strategies used by effective instructors of developmental mathematics, and to discover the perceptions developmental mathematics students have about these strategies. While there are research projects focusing solely on developmental mathematics achievement, this study fills a need by incorporating…

Abdul Razzak, Nina – Education and Information Technologies, 2016
Highly-traditional education systems that mainly offer what is known as "direct instruction" usually result in graduates with a surface approach to learning rather than a deep one. What is meant by deep-learning is learning that involves critical analysis, the linking of ideas and concepts, creative problem solving, and application…
