Juan Zheng; Shan Li; Tingting Wang; Susanne P. Lajoie – International Journal of Educational Technology in Higher Education, 2024
Emotions play a crucial role in the learning process, yet there is a scarcity of studies examining emotion dynamics in problem-solving with fine-grained data and advanced tools. This study addresses this gap by investigating the emotional trajectories during self-regulated learning (SRL) phases (i.e., forethought, performance, and self-reflection)…

Jiang, Ronghuan; Liu, Ru-de; Star, Jon; Zhen, Rui; Wang, Jia; Hong, Wei; Jiang, Shuyang; Sun, Yan; Fu, Xinchen – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
Background: Too many students persevere in relying upon one (sometimes suboptimal) strategy for solving a wide range of problems, even when they know more efficient strategies. Although many studies have mentioned such phenomena, few studies have examined how emotional factors could affect this type of inflexible perseverance in strategy use.…

Sankaranarayanan, Rajagopal; Kwon, Kyungbin; Cho, Yonjoo – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2021
Although collaborative learning is becoming a widely popular instructional method, little research has been undertaken considering human cognitive structures and their influence on the design of collaborative learning tasks. Using cognitive load theory as a theoretical framework in this study, forty-five undergraduate students were assigned to…

Pedersen, Susan; Oren, Mehmet; Butler-Purry, Karen – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2020
The effectiveness of educational games is contingent upon players staying engaged. When players become stuck, the availability of in-game instructional guidance can help them to overcome obstacles and continue to progress. In this study, we examined the impact of different formats for instructional assets designed to support learners as they play…

Nielsen, Maria; Bostic, Jonathan D. – Mathematics Teacher Education and Development, 2020
Problem solving is an important aspect of the mathematics classroom and teachers should work to promote problem solving in their classrooms. The purpose of this explanatory mixed-methods study was to examine mathematics preservice teachers' (PSTs) problem-solving performance and connect it with their K-12 and tertiary education problem-solving…

Upahi, Johnson E.; Ramnarain, Umesh – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2020
Open-ended problem-solving skills have been identified as employable skills, which undergraduate students will need to have in order to cope with real-life problems in their workplaces after graduation. However, the development and assessment of these skills have been inconsistent across courses offered in universities. This research examined…

Awofala, Adeneye Olarewaju; Sopekan, Oludola Sarah – Journal of Research and Advances in Mathematics Education, 2020
One construct that lies in between the cognitive and affective domains of mathematics education is belief and this concept is rarely investigated in the Nigerian mathematics education community. Thus, an investigation of early-years future teachers' mathematical beliefs as determinants of performance in primary mathematics within the blueprint of…

Nepal, Kedar; Paneru, Khyam; Basyal, Deepak – College Student Journal, 2020
This paper presents the results of a study on Calculus students' use of web-based homework. We collected data from students' web-based homework usage, such as their grades, time spent, number of attempts used to solve problems, and problem solutions. We also collected grades on in-class quizzes, which were given the day after homework had been…

Frey, Regina F.; McDaniel, Mark A.; Bunce, Diane M.; Cahill, Michael J.; Perry, Martin D. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2020
We previously reported that students' concept-building approaches, identified a priori using a cognitive psychology laboratory task, extend to learning complex science, technology, engineering, and mathematics topics. This prior study examined student performance in both general and organic chemistry at a select research institution, after…

Todd, E. Michelle; Higgs, Cory A.; Mumford, Michael D. – Creativity Research Journal, 2019
Although scholars have identified many variables that contribute to creative problem-solving, less attention has been given to variables that might lead to failure in creative problem-solving. One set of variables that might lead to poor performance in creative problem-solving efforts may be found in various decision biases. In this study, the…

Tempelaar, Dirk; Rienties, Bart; Nguyen, Quan – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2019
Learning analytic models are built upon traces students leave in technology-enhanced learning platforms as the digital footprints of their learning processes. Learning analytics uses these traces of learning engagement to predict performance and provide learning feedback to students and teachers when these predictions signal the risk of failing a…

Agus, Mirian; Peró-Cebollero, Maribel; Guàrdia-Olmos, Joan; Portoghese, Igor; Mascia, Maria Lidia; Penna, Maria Pietronilla – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2020
This paper reports some experiments on probabilistic reasoning designed to investigate the impact of the probabilistic problem presentation format (verbal-numerical and graphical-pictorial) on subjects' confidence in the correctness of their performance, other than the calibration between confidence and accuracy. To understand the potential effect…

Steinberg, Jonathan; Andrews-Todd, Jessica; Forsyth, Carolyn; Chamberlain, John; Horwitz, Paul; Koon, Al; Rupp, Andre; McCulla, Laura – ETS Research Report Series, 2020
This study discusses the development of a basic electronics knowledge (BEK) assessment as a pretest activity for undergraduate students in engineering and related fields. The 28 BEK items represent 12 key concepts, including properties of serial circuits, knowledge of electrical laws (e.g., Kirchhoff 's and Ohm's laws), and properties of digital…

Swart, Arthur James – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2016
The International Engineering Alliance lists 12 important graduate attributes that students must demonstrate during their higher educational career. One of these important graduate attributes is the ability to solve problems, which can be demonstrated by the use of project-based learning, case studies, and practical workshops. The purpose of this…
