Wei Liu – International Journal of Research & Method in Education, 2024
Underlying thematic analysis are a few fundamental human cognitive processes, such as categorizing, prototyping and metaphorical mapping. By unpacking these basic processes of human cognition, this paper hopes to provide a cognitive basis for thematic analysis as a foundational method in data analysis for qualitative research. In particular, it…

Lu, Chia-Chen – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2023
The incongruity-resolution model plays a key role in the cognitive mechanisms of perceived humour. This study employed the incongruity-resolution model to discuss humorous design techniques to help design novices and students understand the influence of various humorous design techniques on perceived humour. First, 260 humorous products currently…

Kwaku Adu-Gyamfi; Kayla Chandler; Anthony Thompson – School Science and Mathematics, 2025
The challenge posed by algebra story problems creates a significant hurdle for many students, transcending both the mathematical content of the problem and the specific instructional background received. This study offers a distinctive contribution to the existing literature by focusing on the cognitive conditions essential for comprehension in…

Daniel Fitousi – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
For nearly half a century now, Garner interference has been serving as the gold standard measure of dimensional interaction and selective attention. But the mechanisms that generate Garner interference are still not well understood. The current study proposes a novel theory that ascribes the interference (and dimensional interaction in general) to…

Jacob Pleasants; Jennifer Parrish – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2025
Elementary teachers are navigating a curriculum landscape in which engineering activities now exist alongside science. Teacher education should prepare future elementary teachers to be critical curators of curriculum resources, which includes appraising the extent to which engineering and science activities authentically reflect those fields. To…

Reed, Zackery; Lockwood, Elise – Cognition and Instruction, 2021
In this paper, we present data from two iterative teaching experiments involving students' constructions of four basic counting problems. The teaching experiments were designed to leverage the generalizing activities of relating and extending to provide students with opportunities to reflect on initial combinatorial activity when constructing…

Snoddy, Sean; Kurtz, Kenneth J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
Analogical comparison of 2 provided cases promotes spontaneous analogical transfer by encouraging a more abstract representation of a target principle. This is widely understood as a process of schema abstraction that aids retrieval from memory in the absence of superficial similarity. The category status hypothesis states that if knowledge about…

Štepánková, Lenka; Urbánek, Tomáš – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2023
The presented study examines the question of colour categorization in relation to the hypothesis of linguistic relativity. The study is based on research conducted by Gilbert et al. (2006) and their claim that linguistic colour categorization in a particular language helps colour recognition and speeds the process of colour discrimination for…

Abdulmajeed Alghamdi – Asian-Pacific Journal of Second and Foreign Language Education, 2024
Despite the critical role of reasoning in shaping language teaching and learning strategies in higher education, prior studies have either separately examined reasoning or focused on one specific type thereof and language teaching and learning strategies. To address this gap, this study took a comprehensive approach by examining various types of…

Ragonis, Noa; Shmallo, Ronit – Informatics in Education, 2022
Object-oriented programming distinguishes between instance attributes and methods and class attributes and methods, annotated by the "static" modifier. Novices encounter difficulty understanding the means and implications of "static" attributes and methods. The paper has two outcomes: (a) a detailed classification of aspects of…

Van Boening, Angela M.; Riggs, Eric M. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2020
Gestures are physical manifestations of cognitive processes. Geology students often use gestures to describe geologic features and processes. The gestures allow students to convey 3- and 4-dimensional information about the rocks. Studying and characterizing these gestures can be useful in understanding students' learning processes; however,…

Larsen, Inge B. – Industry and Higher Education, 2022
Entrepreneurship education in higher education institutions (HEIs) increasingly aims at fostering an entrepreneurial mindset (EM) in students. However, large heterogeneity exists in conceptualizations of EM. This is a challenge for educators as it is difficult to develop instructional strategies to foster students' EM when there is no clarity…

Öztürk, Gülcan – International Journal of Progressive Education, 2021
This study examined the development of pre-service teachers' skills in analysing the achievements of secondary school sixth grade Information Technologies and Software Course curriculum in regard to the revised Bloom's taxonomy at a western Anatolian university in Turkey. A single group pre-test, post-test experimental design was used, and 99…

Bossé, Michael J.; Young, Erica Slate; Bayaga, Anass; Lynch-Davis, Kathleen; DeMarte, Ashley M.; Fountain, Catherine – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2020
While one branch of literature is replete with investigations of problem solving and another branch frequently investigates student use of dynamic mathematics environments (DMEs), most of the studies in both of these fields consider whether or not students can solve problems. Far fewer number of studies consider the cognitive processes associated…

García-Gámez, Ana B.; Macizo, Pedro – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
We compared 2 learning methods for the acquisition of vocabulary in a second language (L2). In addition, the use of the new L2 words was evaluated both in isolation and within sentences. In the semantic method, L2 words and pictures denoting their meanings were presented and participants learned by practicing a semantic categorization task (to…
