Keith J. Holyoak; Nicholas Ichien; Hongjing Lu – Creativity Research Journal, 2024
Creativity is typically defined as the generation of novel and useful ideas or artifacts. This generative capacity is crucial to everyday problem solving, technological innovation, scientific discovery, and the arts. A central concern of cognitive scientists is to understand the processes that underlie human creative thinking. We review evidence…

Taverna, Andrea S.; Padilla, Migdalia I.; Baiocchi, María C.; Peralta, Olga A. – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2021
Although there is wide evidence on young children's category learning, questions concerning how cognitive mechanisms and social mediation work collaboratively in this process remain sparse. Here, we study the impact of pedagogy in young children's categorization of novel artifacts. A before-and-after micro-genetic study compared 58 3-year-old…

Lundberg, Anna L. V. – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2022
This case study explores how 12-13-year-old students encounter proportional reasoning while working with geometric patterning tasks using concrete materials. The focus is on the students' use of spontaneous concepts when first dealing with such patterns in the context of collaborative work. Based on video recordings of a single lesson, a…

Sittichai Wichaidit; Patcharee R. Wichaidit – Journal of Pedagogical Research, 2024
Game-based learning has gained significant attention from educational researchers because of its ability to create an engaging and enjoyable learning environment for students. However, there was a research gap regarding the design of game mechanics that specifically helped students understand abstract scientific concepts. Also, the impact of…

Zac Patterson; Lin Ding – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
Conceptual approaches to contemporary physics topics pose many learning challenges. One factor influencing knowledge integration is a student's epistemic framing. Epistemic frames provide a context within which a particular situation is perceived, interpreted, and judged. The objective of this study is to explore secondary students' framings…

Joseph M. Lynch – Advocate, 2019
This article attempts to demonstrate how the inductive and deductive processing modes function together. Educational models associated with an inductive learning process provide a great opportunity for students to assess their accountability in the learning process. However, the lessons gleaned from such an inductive approach can be more…

Breitwieser, Jasmin; Brod, Garvin – Child Development, 2021
This study examined age-related differences in the effectiveness of two generative learning strategies (GLSs). Twenty-five children aged 9-11 and 25 university students aged 17-29 performed a facts learning task in which they had to generate either a prediction or an example before seeing the correct result. We found a significant Age × Learning…

Case, Joshua; Speer, Natasha – PRIMUS, 2021
In undergraduate mathematics, deductive reasoning plays important roles in teaching and learning various ideas, and is primarily characterized by the concept of logical implication. This comes up whenever conditional statements are applied, i.e., one checks if a statement's hypotheses are satisfied and then makes inferences. In calculus, students…

Abdulmajeed Alghamdi – Asian-Pacific Journal of Second and Foreign Language Education, 2024
Despite the critical role of reasoning in shaping language teaching and learning strategies in higher education, prior studies have either separately examined reasoning or focused on one specific type thereof and language teaching and learning strategies. To address this gap, this study took a comprehensive approach by examining various types of…

Lozano, José H.; Revuelta, Javier – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2023
The present paper introduces a general multidimensional model to measure individual differences in learning within a single administration of a test. Learning is assumed to result from practicing the operations involved in solving the items. The model accounts for the possibility that the ability to learn may manifest differently for correct and…

Fakhriyah, Fina; Masfuah, Siti; Hilyana, F. Shoufika – Pegem Journal of Education and Instruction, 2023
Generic skills are fundamental skills needed to complete a job or project that can be grown when students go through the learning process. This study aims to analyze and identify students' general skills in terms of scientific literacy through research-based learning methods in the Science Application course. The research uses a quantitative…

Malovrh, Paul A.; Lee, James F. – Modern Language Journal, 2022
Research examining rule formation and second language (L2) explicit knowledge during guided inductive instruction has focused on co-constructed metalanguage or depth of processing (DoP) using think-aloud protocols, but without analyzing rule features. Studies have not focused on the architecture of the rules that L2 learners create individually.…
