Emily Ranken; Dominic Wyse; Yana Manyukhina; Alice Bradbury – Curriculum Journal, 2025
Knowledge and its acquisition are central to the field of curriculum studies, but the ways in which empirical studies of pedagogical approaches relate to theories of knowledge acquisition are under researched. This paper reports the outcomes of a rapid evidence assessment about the impacts of "experiential learning" (EL), regarded by…

Ahmed Raad Yousif; Hutkemri Zulnaidi; Syed Kamaruzaman Syed Ali – Malaysian Online Journal of Educational Sciences, 2024
The ongoing underrepresentation of Iraqi school students in science, mathematics, and PE (physical education) (SMPE) in general, and especially in PE demonstrates the need to develop and implement strategic high impact practice, such as new effective teaching strategies that not only improve students' academic outcomes but also foster student…

Moreira, Paulo A. S.; Inman, Richard Anthony; Rosa, Inês; Cloninger, Kevin; Duarte, António; Robert Cloninger, C. – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2021
Personality results from the complex interactions among multiple learning and memory systems. There is a need to examine the personality-learning association using a personality model that captures this complexity: Cloninger's psychobiological model. The study addresses this need using a person-centered approach. In total, 686 adolescents…

Yuxuan Lian; Shamali Ahati; Jiarui Cai; Jingwen Li; Huan Zhang; Tour Liu – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2025
In cognitive psychology, researchers have identified a phenomenon called socially shared retrieval-induced forgetting (SS-RIF) that occurs during collaborative memory tasks in groups. When a speaker selectively retrieves target information, listeners may forget related, non-target information. The mechanism likely involves concurrent covert…

Rémi Dorgnier; Marie Mazerolle; François Maquestiaux; Laurence Picard – Journal of Educational Research, 2025
Recent studies in psychology emphasize the pivotal roles of adopting a growth mindset to enhance students' motivation and employing effective memory strategies to improve memory performance. This study evaluated the impact of a metacognitive intervention that combined the promotion of a growth mindset with the teaching of efficient learning…

Guerrero, Tricia A.; Wiley, Jennifer – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
Past research has suggested that there may be benefits in learning from expository science text when students study with the expectation that they will need to teach another student. The present experiments were designed to extend prior work by testing whether an effect would be seen on both immediate tests (similar to those used in most prior…

Tiril, Hamiye; Okumus, Seda – Journal of Science Learning, 2022
This study aims to reveal the problems faced by a dyslexic student in learning science and determine what can be considered an effective science teaching method for this kind of learner. The case study design was used, and the study was conducted with a 7th-grade dyslexic female student. This study used observations and a semi-structured interview…

Botelho, Anthony F.; Varatharaj, Ashvini; Patikorn, Thanaporn; Doherty, Diana; Adjei, Seth A.; Beck, Joseph E. – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2019
The increased usage of computer-based learning platforms and online tools in classrooms presents new opportunities to not only study the underlying constructs involved in the learning process, but also use this information to identify and aid struggling students. Many learning platforms, particularly those driving or supplementing instruction, are…

Conderman, Greg – Clearing House: A Journal of Educational Strategies, Issues and Ideas, 2019
Mnemonics represent a diverse group of research-based instructional methods with wide application for middle school teachers and students. Teachers can model how to use mnemonics and infuse them in their instruction. Students can use mnemonics as a study skills memory prompt in any class. Due to their potential as a highly effective instructional…

Sosa, Jorge Jhonattan Castellanos; Aguilar, Francy Karina Maldonado – Journal of Research and Advances in Mathematics Education, 2021
This work shows how playing chess creates capacities in the student such as increasing visual memory. This helps to classify information in an orderly manner in the mind and contributes to a better understanding of geometric transformations such as displacements, turns and similarities. This was done with a mixed technique (Quantitative and…

Loehr, Abbey M.; Fazio, Lisa K.; Rittle-Johnson, Bethany – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2020
Background: Committing errors is a common part of the learning process, and adults are more likely to correct errors that they can recall. However, preadolescent children's recall of previous errors (i.e., memory for errors) may be limited. Aims: We examined children's ability to recall their past errors and tested whether recalling an error aids…

Leggett, Jack M. I.; Burt, Jennifer S.; Carroll, Annemaree – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2019
Review is often more effective when it involves deliberate memory retrieval. However, this advantage may depend on a high rate of retrieval success; students who are less capable with the material may be better served by another activity. In our study, year 9 geography students listened to factual information, then reviewed some of it with a…

Hattan, Courtney; Alexander, Patricia A. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
The purpose of the current mixed-methods study was to investigate the effectiveness of a traditional and novel knowledge activation technique for supporting fifth and sixth graders' comprehension of exposition covering unfamiliar content. For the quantitative portion, 149 rural middle-school students were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 conditions:…

Hendy, Mohamed H. – Online Submission, 2016
Educational research and practice have proven that there are many benefits for applying learning theories' recommendations through teaching and learning of different subjects in all school levels. Based on interrelationships among learning theories of contextualism, connectivism, constructivism, and cognitivism, the researcher proposed an…
