Televantou, Ioulia; Marsh, Herbert W.; Xu, Kate M.; Guo, Jiesi; Dicke, Theresa – Educational Psychology Review, 2023
The present study uses doubly latent models to estimate the effect of average mathematics achievement at the class level on students' subsequent mathematics achievement (the "Peer Spillover Effect") and mathematics self-concept (the "Big-Fish-Little-Pond-Effect; BFLPE"), controlling for individual differences in prior…

Caughman, Alicia M.; Weigel, Emily G. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2022
Quantitative and computational skills are required of 21st-century biologists. While biology student abilities and attitudes toward math have been studied extensively, less is known about corresponding attitudes toward computer science (CS). It is important to understand how students perceive math and CS subjects and whether those perceptions are…

Jingjing Ma; Qingtang Liu; Shufan Yu; Jindian Liu; Xiaojuan Li; Chunhua Wang – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2025
This research employs the fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) method to investigate the configurations of multiple factors influencing scientific concept learning, including augmented reality (AR) technology, the concept map (CM) strategy and individual differences (eg, prior knowledge, experience and attitudes). A quasi-experiment…

Kathryn S. McCarthy; Eleanor F. Yan; Laura K. Allen; Allison N. Sonia; Joseph P. Magliano; Danielle S. McNamara – Grantee Submission, 2022
Few studies have explored how general skills in both reading and writing influence performance on integrated, source-based writing. The goal of the present study was to consider the relative contributions of reading and writing ability on multiple-document integrative reading and writing tasks. Students in the U.S. (n=94) completed two tasks in…

Seyum Getenet – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2024
Students' prior achievements in school have significant correlations with their later achievements. Specifically, students' prior numeracy achievement is the most important predictor of later numeracy success. However, the assessment of this predictor across gender and its trend across students' year levels is often overlooked or not adequately…

Coskun, Atakan; Cagiltay, Kursat – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2022
Background: The most challenging task in eye-tracking-based multimedia research is to establish a relationship between eye-tracking metrics (or cognitive processes) and learners' performance scores. Additionally, there are current debates about the effectiveness of animations (or simulations) in promoting learning in multimedia settings.…

Barbieri, Christina Areizaga; Booth, Julie L.; Chawla, Kamal – Educational Psychology, 2023
The current study assessed whether adding worked examples with self-explanation prompts focused on making connections between mathematical principles, procedures, and concepts of rational numbers to a curriculum focused on invented strategies improves pre-algebra students' fraction number line acuity, rational number concepts and procedures.…

Gyll, Sean P.; Hayes, Heather – Journal of Competency-Based Education, 2021
Competency-based institutions eager to improve student outcomes would be wise to consider research-based measures, such as a course planning and learning tool (CPLT), as one step in the student life cycle. Recent research has indicated which assessment practices tend to be most successful in an online competency-based environment while hinting at…

Reese Butterfuss; Kathryn S. McCarthy; Ellen Orcutt; Panayiota Kendeou; Danielle S. McNamara – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
Readers often struggle to identify the main ideas in expository texts. Existing research and instruction provide some guidance on how to encourage readers to identify main ideas. However, there is substantial variability in how main ideas are operationalized and how readers are prompted to identify main ideas. This variability hinders…

Mills, Candice M.; Danovitch, Judith H.; Mugambi, Victoria N.; Sands, Kaitlin R.; Monroe, Anthony J. – Developmental Psychology, 2022
When children ask questions about science, parents use a variety of strategies to answer them, including providing accurate information, connecting to prior knowledge, or simply saying "I do not know." This study examines the factors underlying individual differences in parental explanatory characteristics. Parents (N = 148; M[subscript…

Natalia Petersen; Rachael Ruegg; Ha Hoang – Educational Research, 2024
Background: There are a number of pathways available for international students to gain admission into universities in English-speaking countries. While many international students for whom English is not their first language succeed academically, there is concern that some do not cope with the demands of university which can affect their…

Kaushal, Rajesh Kumar; Panda, Surya Narayan – Malaysian Journal of Learning and Instruction, 2019
Purpose: The aim of this study is to find in which conditions animation based teaching style for example teaching through 2D or 3D animations or animated diagrams leads to the better learning outcome. To achieve this purpose, we compared these two conditions (i) animation based teaching style is effective when offered to high spatial ability…

Taub, Michelle; Azevedo, Roger – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2019
The goal of this study was to use eye-tracking and log-file data to investigate the impact of prior knowledge on college students' (N = 194, with a subset of n = 30 for eye tracking and sequence mining analyses) fixations on (i.e., looking at) self-regulated learning-related areas of interest (i.e., specific locations on the interface) and on the…

Kessler, Erica D.; Braasch, Jason L. G.; Kardash, CarolAnne M. – Reading Psychology, 2021
The current work was conducted to better understand the influences of source presence and individual differences on evaluating and sharing information from multiple conflicting Internet texts about childhood vaccinations. The results indicate that college student readers appeared to be insensitive to a source availability manipulation. However,…

Tempelaar, Dirk T.; Rienties, Bart; Nguyen, Quan – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2020
Worked-examples have been established as an effective instructional format in problem-solving practices. However, less is known about variations in the use of worked examples across individuals at different stages in their learning process in student-centred learning contexts. This study investigates different profiles of students' learning…
