Brechtje E. J. van Zeijts; Lesya Y. Ganushchak; Bjorn B. de Koning; Huib K. Tabbers – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
Inference-making is a central element of successful reading comprehension, yet provides a challenge for beginning readers. Text decoding takes up cognitive resources which prevents beginning readers from successful inference-making and compromises reading comprehension. Listening does not require any decoding and could therefore offer a less…

Lea Nemeth; Frank Lipowsky – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2024
Interleaved practice combined with comparison prompts can better foster students' adaptive use of subtraction strategies compared to blocked practice. It has not been previously investigated whether all students benefit equally from these teaching approaches. While interleaving subtraction tasks prompts students' attention to the different task…

Yilmaz, Rabia M. – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
In this study, the effects of using cueing with a narrator in animations on science learning and cognitive load level of elementary students have been revealed. For this purpose, a quantitative research design is used in the study. 223 third grade students, 124 of them are girls and 99 of them are boys, have formed the sample. The results show…

Boggio, Cynthia; Bosse, Marie-Line; Favre-Félix, Alexis; Pobel-Burtin, Céline; Burnel, Morgane; Bianco, Maryse – Journal of Educational Research, 2023
Learning to spell is a difficult but essential task for children learning to read. Several spelling tasks involving different cognitive demands are used in classroom. To provide better guidance for teaching practices, a critical question is whether spelling performance of beginner readers is task dependent. The present study focuses on the…

Firuzan Hilal Karabay; Can Mese – Asia Pacific Education Review, 2025
In the study, problem-solving educational software (ProSES) was developed to reduce the challenges and mistakes experienced by primary school third-grade students in mathematical problem solving and to provide scaffolding and hint support for teacher help for the students using mobile technologies. The study aimed to determine the impact of the…

Dick, Lara K.; Sawyer, Amanda G.; MacNeille, Margaret; Shapiro, Emily; Wismer, Tabitha A. – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2023
Let's say you are a Grades 3-5 teacher in search of an activity sheet on different fraction notations. A search in May 2022 on the popular resources sharing site TeachersPayTeachers (TpT) yielded 2,832 results, 105 of which were free. With so many options, how would you go about choosing a resource for your students? What would factor into your…

Sierens, Sven; Van Gorp, Koen; Slembrouck, Stef; Van Avermaet, Piet – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2022
This study investigated the relationship between the level of cognitive-linguistic difficulty of task input and the size of the cross-linguistic relationship for academic listening comprehension in emergent bilinguals. It was theoretically motivated by task-dependent cross-linguistic interaction frameworks. We hypothesized that task item sets that…

Liu, Ying; Liu, Ru-De; Star, Jon R.; Wang, Jia; Tong, Huimin – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2020
Recent research has shown that reducing the perceptual fluency of shape processing can be an effective means for overcoming the interference of the More A-More B intuitive rule among grade 3 students in a perimeter comparison task. From the perspective of cognitive load, the current study focused on the mechanism of perceptual fluency on…

Ding, Yi; Zhang, Dake; Liu, Ru-De; Wang, Jia; Xu, Le – Journal of Experimental Education, 2021
The aim of this research was to examine the role of working memory in moderating the effects of automaticity on mental addition in 40 Chinese third-graders from the perspectives of task characteristics and individual characteristics. In Study 1, a 2 (working memory load [WML]) × 2 (automaticity), within-subjects design was utilized. There was…

Dreama Carroll – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Reading is one of the most important skills that students learn in elementary school. The problem addressed in this study is the decrease in proficiency of reading comprehension when primary grade students are assessed using a digital device to read and respond to instead of reading a text from a paper-based test. The purpose of this study is to…

Maricic, Mirjana; Cvjeticanin, Stanko; Andevski, Milica; Andic, Branko – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: The question of the efficiency of withholding answers and the physical manipulation of material in science education has become the target of a large number of researchers (proponents of the Cognitive Load Theory) in recent years. However, no research has been found examining the contribution of these elements of teaching to the…

Diago, Pascual D.; Yáñez, Dionisio F.; Arnau, David – Journal for the Study of Education and Development, 2022
Patterning, as a component of early mathematic knowledge, is a common activity carried out at elementary levels in which children are not equally successful. This study aimed to measure different variables affecting performance on patterning tasks in early childhood. For this purpose, the success of Pre-K (N = 33), K (N = 31) and first-grade…

Abdullah Kaldirim; Omer Faruk Tavsanli – SAGE Open, 2024
The purpose of this longitudinal study was to critically evaluate the updated Turkish reading curricula to determine whether they enable teachers to design instructional sequences that are highly cognitively demanding. This study was designed as a qualitative inquiry using document analysis to estimate the pedagogically oriented intellectual…

van Lieshout, Ernest C. D. M.; Xenidou-Dervou, Iro – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2020
Pictorial representations are often used to help children understand the situation described in a given number-sentence scheme. These static pictorial problems essentially attempt to depict a dynamic situation (e.g., one bird flies away while there are three birds still sitting on the fence). Previous research suggested that such pictorial…

Sarah Schulze; Jan Kuhl – Learning Disabilities: A Contemporary Journal, 2024
This study examines the effects of a working memory (WM) sensitive math intervention in students with learning disabilities (LD). The intervention aims to improve early mathematical competencies while accounting for weak cognitive resources through a reduced instructional design. These principles are considered to be effective for learning. Ten…
