Lammi, Matthew D.; Wells, John G.; Gero, John – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2022
This paper presents the results of a 2-year longitudinal study aimed at characterizing and comparing the design cognition of high school students with and without formal engineering design experiences. The students--working as dyads--engaged in design-only sessions generating solutions in response to the same engineering design challenges. The…

Miller-Cotto, Dana; Booth, Julie L.; Newcombe, Nora S. – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2022
Both sketching and self-explanation are widely believed to be effective for problem-solving in science learning. However, it is unclear which aspects of these strategies promote learning and how they might interact. Compared to a read-only baseline, we examined the impact of instructing 11-year-old students to solve science problems to sketch,…

Stehle, Stephanie M. – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Students come to their high school physics classroom with experiences and knowledge that can be used to help explain physics concepts, but those experiences may not fully align with the scientifically accepted science concept. When there is a misalignment between a student's prior knowledge and the scientifically accepted concept a misconception…

Pan, Zexuan; Cui, Ying; Leighton, Jacqueline P.; Cutumisu, Maria – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2023
This systematic review examines 35 empirical studies featuring the use of think-aloud interviews in computational thinking (CT) research. Findings show that think-aloud interviews (1) are typically conducted in Computer Science classrooms and with K-12 students; (2) are usually combined with other exploratory CT assessment tools; (3) have the…

Menke, Lucas; Voss, Sarah; Kruse, Jerrid; Zacharski, Kinsey – Research in Science Education, 2023
In an increasingly complex media environment, science educators must help prepare students to make decisions on science-related issues that are in the best interest of themselves and their communities. Researchers have suggested the use of socioscientific issues (SSI) to teach students how to think scientifically and to make good decisions…

Fauziyah, Nur; Budayasa, I. Ketut – International Journal of Instruction, 2022
This study aims to describe the cognitive process of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) students in solving mathematical problems in order to provide recommendations towards ensuring an appropriate learning process. It was conducted qualitatively using three ASD students in senior high school in Indonesia with high, moderate, and low intelligence. The…

Tugba Uygun; Pinar Guner; Irfan Simsek – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
This study was conducted to reveal potential sources of students' difficulty and misconceptions about geometrical concepts with the help of eye tracking. In this study, the students' geometrical misconceptions were explored by answering the questions on the geometry test prepared based on the literature and test-taking processes and represented…

Máñez, Ignacio; Vidal-Abarca, Eduardo; Magliano, Joseph P. – Electronic Journal of Research in Educational Psychology, 2022
Introduction: Students often answer questions from available expository texts for assessment and learning purposes. These activities require readers to activate not only meaning-making processes (e.g., paraphrases or elaborations), but also metacognitive operations (e.g., monitoring readers' own comprehension or self-regulating reading behaviors)…

Reagan D. Murnan – ProQuest LLC, 2023
The genre of persuasive writing requires writers to independently probe their long-term memory to generate pertinent ideas that support their opinion on a given topic. However, many students with high-incidence disabilities struggle with the complex synergy of tasks involved in writing, and in particular generating ideas. A qualitatively dominant…

Deshpande, Divya S.; Riccomini, Paul J.; Hughes, Elizabeth M.; Raulston, Tracy J. – Learning Disabilities: A Contemporary Journal, 2021
While school performance suggests students with learning disabilities require intervention to demonstrate mathematics proficiency, little is known about how they approach problem solving in secondary geometry. Think aloud protocols highlight the higher order thinking skills underlying complex academic tasks. We conducted an exploratory descriptive…

Blom, Nicolaas; Bogaers, Alfred – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2020
One of the characteristics of the twenty-first century is the increase in the information sources available to designers to make their design decisions. However, current verbal protocol analysis methods and theoretical frameworks do not explain how internal and external information sources contribute to novice designers' moment-to-moment thought…

Self-regulated learning (SRL) is a critical component of mathematics problem-solving. Students skilled in SRL are more likely to effectively set goals, search for information, and direct their attention and cognitive process so that they align their efforts with their objectives. An influential framework for SRL, the SMART model (Winne, 2017),…

Strimel, Greg J.; Kim, Eunhye; Grubbs, Michael E.; Huffman, Tanner J. – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2020
Design within primary and secondary schools has been increasingly emphasized over the past decade. As a response to this increased interest, qualitative research examining students' cognitive processes involved in the practices of design has been on the rise. These studies have commonly employed the concurrent think-aloud research methodology to…

Cox, Marjolein; Elen, Jan; Steegen, An – Review of International Geographical Education Online, 2019
The use of causal diagrams to externalize the mental representation of a problem is recognized to be an important step in solving complex problems. In geography education several global challenges taught about in class are highly complex due to the interconnectedness of many causes and consequences. A systems thinking approach might be helpful to…

Lucy Chambers; Joanna Williamson; Simon Child – Research Matters, 2019
In this article, we explore the cognitive process and resources drawn upon when moderating artwork. The cognitive processes involved in the external moderation of non-exam assessments has received little attention; the few research studies that exist investigated moderation where the candidates' submissions were in mostly written form. No studies…
