The involvement load hypothesis (ILH), which predicts the lexical learning potential of tasks, assumes that writing sentences (SW) and compositions (CW) using novel target words (TWs) lead to similar lexical gains. However, research on the issue is scarce and contradictory. One possibility is that the higher cognitive load of CW hinders learning…

While self-regulated learning (SRL) has been studied in various disciplines, insufficient attention has been paid to how formative assessment/assessment for learning (AfL) promotes students' SRL in learning English as foreign language (EFL) context. The present study attempted to address the gap. Forty four non-English majors in the second year of…

Jill Cathleen Woods – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) presents postsecondary educators with a conundrum: how to design and support small-group activities without stifling deep and meaningful learning. The literature indicates that students are not consistently practicing higher-order cognitive activities, educators are not reliably designing or…

Reynders, Gil; Lantz, Juliette; Ruder, Suzanne M.; Stanford, Courtney L.; Cole, Renée S. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2020
Background: Process skills such as critical thinking and information processing are commonly stated outcomes for STEM undergraduate degree programs, but instructors often do not explicitly assess these skills in their courses. Students are more likely to develop these crucial skills if there is constructive alignment between an instructor's…

Arnold, Kathleen M.; Umanath, Sharda; Thio, Kara; Riley, Walter B.; McDaniel, Mark A.; Marsh, Elizabeth J. – Grantee Submission, 2017
Writing is often used as a tool for learning. However, empirical support for the benefits of writing-to-learn is mixed, likely because the literature conflates diverse activities (e.g., summaries, term papers) under the single umbrella of writing-to-learn. Following recent trends in the writing-to-learn literature, we focus on the underlying…

Canning, Elizabeth A.; Priniski, Stacy J.; Harackiewicz, Judith M. – Grantee Submission, 2019
Utility-value (UV) writing interventions help students find the personal relevance of course material to promote interest and performance. However, little is known about how best to frame the intervention, particularly in the 2-year college context where students have more varied backgrounds than the samples previously studied. Using a randomized…

Rich, Jennifer; Miller, Daisy; DeTora, Lisa – Across the Disciplines, 2011
Writing plays an integral role in any disciplinary course setting. In the sciences, WAC and WID initiatives primarily focus on using writing to deepen student understanding of scientific concepts. Scholars, however, have paid less attention to how writing may facilitate an understanding of the link between concepts and their quantitative…
