Gómez-Blancarte, Ana Luisa; Tobías-Lara, María Guadalupe – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2023
Since statistical inference is a probabilistic generalization about a population analyzed on the basis of a sample, inferential reasoning demands producing reasons ("statistical" and "contextual") to substantiate and validate generalizations. To convey an understanding of students' inferential reasoning, we present a…

Pilegard, Celeste; Fiorella, Logan – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2021
This study investigated whether an instructor's gestures can signal the underlying conceptual structure of a lesson and foster learning. In Experiment 1, 123 undergraduates watched a video comparing eastern and western steamboats in which the instructor produced structure gestures, surface gestures, structure and surface gestures, or neither…

Haomin Zhang; Jie Sun; Yuting Han; Song Yin – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2024
The current study reported an empirical investigation that tested the collective and individual effects of morphological awareness and cognate awareness on Japanese word learning among Chinese learners of Japanese. 131 Chinese learners of Japanese participated in this study. They completed morphological awareness measurements (morpheme…

Obaid, Teeba; Nesbit, John C.; Mahmoody Ghaidary, Ahmad; Jain, Misha; Hajian, Shiva – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
Understanding scientific phenomena requires learners to construct mental models of causal systems. Simulation-based discovery learning offers learners the opportunity to construct mental models and test them against the behavior of a simulation. The purpose of this study was to investigate sequential patterns of learner actions and utterances…

Case, Joshua; Speer, Natasha – PRIMUS, 2021
In undergraduate mathematics, deductive reasoning plays important roles in teaching and learning various ideas, and is primarily characterized by the concept of logical implication. This comes up whenever conditional statements are applied, i.e., one checks if a statement's hypotheses are satisfied and then makes inferences. In calculus, students…

Avci Akçali, Asli – Social Studies, 2023
It is known that oral history studies have a positive effect on students' learning, skills, attitudes, and motivations. In this direction, it has an important place in the context of student-centered constructivist practices in teaching different subjects in social studies courses. Social studies teachers should have sufficient knowledge and…

McCrudden, Matthew T.; Kulikowich, Jonna M.; Lyu, Bailing; Huynh, Linh – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
In this experiment we investigated whether the presentation of domain principles within one text facilitates reading to learn from multiple exemplar texts that feature the importance of the principles. There were five texts about natural selection: a principles text, which described principles of natural selection, and four exemplar-based texts…

Zhang, Haomin; Pei, Zhenxia – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2022
This study explored the role of word knowledge dimensions in second language (L2) word-meaning inference. College-level L2 learners (N = 121) participated in this study and completed a series of word knowledge tests including vocabulary size, word associates, morpheme-form knowledge, morpheme-meaning knowledge, morpheme discrimination, and…

Chen, Tianxu – Language Awareness, 2022
Radical awareness (i.e. the ability to identify, analyze, and manipulate radicals within compound characters) plays an important role in character reading and learning for first language and second language (L2) learners of Chinese. Previous studies have shown that radical awareness contributes to character recognition, inference, and…

Lommatsch, Christina W.; Moyer-Packenham, Patricia S. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2020
Logical statements are prevalent in mathematics, science and everyday life. The most common logical statements are conditionals, 'If H … , then C … ', where 'H' is a hypothesis and 'C' is a conclusion. Reasoning about conditionals depends on four main conditional contexts (intuitive, abstract, symbolic or counterintuitive). This study tested a…

Cromley, Jennifer G.; Ma, Shufeng; Van Boekel, Martin; Parpucu Dane, Aygul – Reading Psychology, 2020
When reading scientific text, readers must draw inferences when the author does not make relations explicit; readers also need to pick up on causal relations that the author "does" make explicit. We collected think-aloud protocols from 86 undergraduate biology students reading 7 brief, illustrated passages about the immune system. After…

Dawkins, Paul Christian; Roh, Kyeong Hah; Eckman, Derek; Cho, Young Kee – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2021
This report documents how one undergraduate student used set-based reasoning to reinvent logical principles related to conditional statements and their proofs. This learning occurred in a teaching experiment intended to foster abstraction of these logical relationships by comparing the predicate and inference structures among various proofs (in…

McCrudden, Matthew T.; Huynh, Linh; Lyu, Bailing; Kulikowich, Jonna M. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2021
The purpose of this study was to investigate bridging inferences and learning when students with low topic knowledge read multiple complementary biology texts. Using a think-aloud protocol, we assessed students' (n = 74) cognitive processes while they read one text about principles of natural selection and three texts about examples of natural…

Loftus, Mary; Madden, Michael G. – Teaching in Higher Education, 2020
How do we teach and learn with our students about data literacy, at the same time as Biesta (2015) calls for an emphasis on 'subjectification' i.e. 'the coming into presence of unique individual beings'? (Good Education in an Age of Measurement: Ethics, Politics, Democracy. Routledge) Our response to these challenges and the datafication of higher…
