Bryn Ellen St. Clair – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Cognitive scientists and psychology researchers have given growing attention to evidence of the testing effect, that is, the improvement of students' recall through memory-retrieval practice in the form of quizzes and exams. While laboratory experiments consistently show dramatic positive effects on learning through the testing effect,…

Owiredu, Joshua Kwabena; Asamoah, Evans; Ankomah, Richard; Aduamah, Diana Amoabea – Science Education International, 2023
Achieving deeper and permanent learning has always been the focus of teaching force. This purpose is independent of the teaching level or subject matter. Pre-service teachers' lack of interest and inability to connect learning levels are partly cited for their inability to develop this deeper and permanent learning of science concepts. In this…

Terence G. Favero – Advances in Physiology Education, 2024
The advent of artificial intelligence (AI)-powered language models presents new opportunities and challenges in education. By teaching students how to craft prompts that elicit insightful responses, faculty can scaffold activities where AI acts as a supplemental resource to amplify critical thinking and support student learning. Ongoing dialogue…

Wong, Sarah Shi Hui – Educational Psychology Review, 2023
Transfer of learning is a fundamental goal of education but is challenging to achieve, especially where far transfer to remote contexts is at stake. How can we improve learners' flexible application of knowledge to distant domains? In a counterintuitive phenomenon termed the "derring effect," deliberately committing and correcting errors…

Rudy Brass; Ebunoluwa Braithwaite; Hope E. Edwards; Jasleen Kaur; Anna Kleanthous; Toby T. Madhlangobe; Anand D. Mistry; Ared Suma; Shane Lo Fan Hin; Dylan P. Williams – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
The gamification of learning has increased in popularity in recent years as a tool for enhancing student engagement and attainment. In undergraduate chemistry courses, hybridization is a fundamental concept that students need to master in order to understand introductory organic and inorganic topics. This study focused on the development of a card…

Parker, Mark A. J.; Hedgeland, Holly; Braithwaite, Nicholas; Jordan, Sally – European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
The study investigated student reaction to the alternative mechanics survey (AMS), a modified force concept inventory, which used automatically marked free-response questions and offered limited feedback to students after their answers had been submitted. Eight participants were observed in completing the AMS, and they were interviewed to gain…

Fabian Kieser; Peter Wulff; Jochen Kuhn; Stefan Küchemann – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
Generative AI technologies such as large language models show novel potential to enhance educational research. For example, generative large language models were shown to be capable of solving quantitative reasoning tasks in physics and concept tests such as the Force Concept Inventory (FCI). Given the importance of such concept inventories for…

Eshani N. Lee; MaryKay Orgill – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2025
Multilingual learners face significant challenges when navigating the linguistic complexities of chemistry assessments. This study, employing the Equitable Framework for Classroom Assessment, identified these specific challenging features in general chemistry assessment items on the topics of limiting reactant and percent yield. Through in-depth,…

Bateman, Kathryn M.; Ham, Joy; Barshi, Naomi; Tikoff, Basil; Shipley, Thomas F. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2023
Spatial skills are embedded in all aspects of the geosciences. The teaching and learning of spatial skills has been a challenging, but vital, endeavor. To support student learning of spatial skills in undergraduate courses, we designed scaffolds for spatially dependent content in a mid-level geoscience course using playdough to allow students to…

Gil Llinás, Julia; Tobaja Márquez, Luis Manuel – International Journal of Educational Methodology, 2023
This paper describes an experience based on the use of an active method in which students of a basic physics course prepare multiple choice questions (MCQs) to prepare for exams in the subject. The objective of the research was to provide the students with a method that would enhance their desire to learn physics, and consequently lead to an…

Sarah L. Cresswell; Wendy A. Loughlin; Tak H. Kim – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2024
The rise of technology and online approaches has challenged the traditional learning and teaching model for first year chemistry of formal face-to-face lectures and in-person laboratory sessions. The COVID-19 pandemic since 2020 has created a rapidly changing environment in assessment and learning experiences for students and led to rapid adoption…

Lewin, Daniel Roberto; Barzilai, Abigail – Chemical Engineering Education, 2021
The capstone design sequence provides chemical engineering students with the opportunity to demonstrate mastery in process engineering, acquired during their entire degree, and is the ultimate "reality check" in outcome verification. This paper describes the current status of the design sequence followed by chemical engineering students…

Bao, Sujin – Advances in Physiology Education, 2022
Difficulty index and its derivative performance index (PFI) have been commonly used to measure student learning outcomes. However, these indexes have a high volatility and low sensitivity. This work has established the simplex learning index (SLI), which has a low volatility and high sensitivity. To construct SLI, students were divided into two…

Buchin, Zachary L.; Mulligan, Neil W. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2023
Retrieval practice typically benefits later memory more than restudy (i.e., the testing effect). The benefits of retrieval-based learning generalize across a range of materials and contexts, leading many cognitive scientists to advocate for broad educational implementation. However, educators and practitioners call for more research on factors…
