Grogan, Justine; Innes, Peter; Carter, Jennifer; Raciti, Maria – Higher Education Research and Development, 2023
Students' prior knowledge may affect their learning of content in a compulsory Indigenous Studies course. Notably, non-Indigenous pre-service teachers' prior knowledge may bring conceptions and misconceptions to their formal Indigenous Studies education, potentially influencing their engagement with and/or resistance to concepts affecting their…

Karatas, Ayla – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
This study aims to determine misconceptions about interphase, a basic phase in the cell cycle and to address those misconceptions. Meristem cells in plants, stem cells in animals, spermatogonia and oogonia cells, and some cells with partial regeneration ability do not lose dividing ability. However, normal tissue cells other than these are in the…

Anna E. Mason; Jason L. G. Braasch; Daphne Greenberg; Erica D. Kessler; Laura K. Allen; Danielle S. McNamara – Grantee Submission, 2022
This study examined the extent to which prior beliefs and reading instructions impacted elements of a reader's mental representation of multiple texts. College students' beliefs about childhood vaccinations were assessed before reading two anti-vaccine and two pro-vaccine texts. Participants in the experimental condition read for the purpose of…

Timothy, Venance; Watzka, Bianca; Stadler, Matthias; Girwidz, Raimund; Fischer, Frank – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
Physics teachers need diagnostic competence to effectively identify students' misconceptions, but studies have yet to sufficiently investigate how this competence can be advanced through various instructional strategies. In this study, we compared a problem-solving strategy against an example-based strategy in advancing diagnostic competence in…

Sunah Chung – International Journal on Social and Education Sciences, 2024
Visuals in picturebooks play an important role in supporting children's reading comprehension and literacy development. This qualitative case study analyzes three American families' shared reading practices at home by analyzing their online surveys for family literacy environments, reading logs for a month, mother interviews, and video observation…

Laura H. VanPuymbrouck; Carli Friedman – Journal of Occupational Therapy Education, 2025
Insight into students' views and understandings of what occupational therapy (OT) practitioners do and what a career will be like can shed light into how the profession is socially perceived. Additionally, this knowledge can be useful for recruitment, retention, and curriculum design, especially for addressing misunderstandings and inaccurate…

Tugçe Duran; Musa Dikmenli – Journal of Education in Science, Environment and Health, 2024
This study aimed to comprehensively examine the articles in which multi-tier concept diagnostic tests, which are among the alternative assessment methods frequently used in recent years to identify misconceptions, were used in biology education between 2000 and 2022. For this purpose, systematic review steps were followed and summarized in the…

Wheatley, Christopher; Wells, James; Pritchard, David E.; Stewart, John – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
The Force Concept Inventory (FCI) is a popular multiple-choice instrument used to measure a student's conceptual understanding of Newtonian mechanics. Recently, a network analytic technique called module analysis has been used to identify responses to the FCI and other conceptual instruments that are preferentially selected together by students;…

Patrick B. Johnson; Corinna Singleman; Jennifer Valad; Eva Fernandez; Nathalia Holtzman – College Teaching, 2025
This study examined the extent to which college algebra instructors employ pedagogical practices previously found to assist students master difficult STEM content material and address their own previous math deficits. Faculty classroom behaviors were assessed with a modified version of the Generalized Observation and Reflection Platform (GORP).…

Xu, Linlin – Teaching in Higher Education, 2023
New to the academy's 'publish or perish' game, doctoral students hold varied expectations of supervisors in relation to their publishing endeavours. These expectations can be unrealistic or contradictory to those of the supervisors and thus make supervision problematic. Set in a faculty of education in New Zealand, this study explores fantasies,…

Ian Thacker; Hannah French; Shon Feder – International Journal of Science Education, 2025
Presenting novel numbers about climate change to people after they estimate those numbers can shift their attitudes and scientific conceptions. Prior research suggests that such science learning can be supported by encouraging learners to make use of given benchmark information, however there are several other numerical estimation skills that may…

Atarés, Lorena; Canet, M. Jose; Trujillo, Macarena; Benlloch-Dualde, José Vte.; Paricio Royo, Javier; Fernandez-March, Amparo – Education Sciences, 2021
Pregraduate students often have low success expectations toward their thermodynamics courses, which are often considered too abstract and remarkably difficult to understand. For this reason, they may not even try to reach any level of comprehension while settling for reproducing mathematical calculations and memorizing definitions to pass the…

Schroeder, Noah L.; Chiou, Erin K.; Siegle, Robert F.; Craig, Scotty D. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
Virtual humans are on-screen characters that are often embedded in learning technologies to deliver educational content. Little research has investigated how virtual humans can be used to correct common misconceptions. In this study, we explored how different types of narrative structures, refutation text and expository text, influence perceptions…

Catrysse, Leen; Chauliac, Margot; Donche, Vincent; Gijbels, David – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2022
This study examined the relationship between refutation texts and attention allocation by focusing on the interaction between important reader-and-text characteristics. Specifically, the authors investigated how prior knowledge and text-based interest affect attention allocation on refutation/control statements, topic, and explanatory and…

Önal, Nagihan Tanik; Kirmizigül, Asli Saylan – Journal of Pedagogical Research, 2021
This study aims to investigate preservice teachers' science-pseudoscience distinctions, epistemological beliefs, and to explore the relationship between these two parameters. To this end, a correlational research design has been employed. The study was conducted with the participation of 182 preservice science and preschool teachers, with the data…
