Zhang, Jiayi; Andres, Juliana Ma. Alexandra L.; Hutt, Stephen; Baker, Ryan S.; Ocumpaugh, Jaclyn; Mills, Caitlin; Brooks, Jamiella; Sethuraman, Sheela; Young, Tyron – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2022
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, proposes that…

Hopkins, Sarah; de Villiers, Celeste – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2016
Despite the importance placed on how children come to solve single-digit addition problems, many children count on to solve these problems when they are expected to use accurate retrieval-based strategies. In this study, we assessed if a subitising intervention improved the rate at which problem-solving practice promoted retrieval, using a…

Rowe, Elizabeth; Baker, Ryan S.; Asbell-Clarke, Jodi – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2015
Educational games have the potential to be innovative forms of learning assessment, by allowing us to not just study their knowledge but the process that takes students to that knowledge. This paper examines the mediating role of players' moves in digital games on changes in their pre-post classroom measures of implicit science learning. We…

Bofferding, Laura; Richardson, Sue Ellen – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2013
Fifteen elementary and secondary teacher candidates solved sixteen integer addition and subtraction problems during think-aloud interviews. Investigators further probed participants' solution strategies as well as what they noticed first when starting a new problem. Task analyses of participants' solutions led to the creation of two distinct maps…

Recker, Margaret M.; Pirolli, Peter – 1990
Students learning to program recursive LISP functions in a typical school-like lesson on recursion were observed. The typical lesson contains text and examples and involves solving a series of programming problems. The focus of this study is on students' learning strategies in new domains. In this light, a Soar computational model of…

Bereiter, Carl – 1989
The possibility of developing a learning theory that is designed to insure its relevance to educational problems is discussed. It is suggested that the constitutive problem for an educational psychology of learning is how one learns things that are difficult to learn. Behaviorist learning theories fail almost entirely to explain why anything is…

Ehlinger, Jeanne – 1989
A study examined whether students were able to transfer the learning of a modeled "think-aloud" strategy to comprehension monitoring in other learning situations. Sixty-four eighth grade students in a midwestern town were identified as average proficiency readers based on a cloze test. There were no significant differences among the…

Rivera, Ferdinand; Becker, Joanne Rossi – International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2003
In this report, we address the following questions: What aspects of information do preservice elementary teachers rely on when performing inductive reasoning? What contexts enable them to perceive the inherent invariant relationships from a finite sample and, thus, formulate viable generalizations? To what extent are they able to justify inductive…

Smith, Patricia L.; Wedman, John F. – 1988
This study compared the effects of an elaborated unit of instruction and a hierarchical unit on students' online processing activities, efficiency of encoding new information, and facility in solving problems. Participants were six education graduate students rated as novices on the to-be-learned content--a unit on the principles of photography.…

Simons, P. R. J. – 1987
Underlying the research reported in this paper is a theoretical framework which defines the self-regulation of learning as the number and kinds of teaching tasks students perform themselves. Three studies are presented on individual differences in regulation-processes emerging from thinking aloud protocols. Protocols of good and weaker performing…

Davidson-Shivers, Gayle V.; And Others – 1997
High ability, highly verbal fifth grade students (n=12) were studied, by employing think aloud protocols, to identify students' use of learning strategies, encoding processes, and navigational decisions in a hypermedia lesson on propaganda techniques. Subjects were asked to read and think aloud as they worked their way through the concept lesson…

Swanson, H. Lee – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1990
Whether high levels of metacognitive knowledge about problem solving can compensate for low overall aptitude was studied for 31 high-aptitude and 25 low-aptitude children in grades 4 and 5. Results confirming superior performance of high metacognitive individuals are discussed in terms of the independence of metacognition and academic aptitude.…

Gu, Yongqi – 1994
Two case studies of the specific vocabulary learning strategies used by native Chinese-speakers learning English as a Second Language (ESL) at Beijing Normal University are presented and discussed. Subjects were two university students identified as "good" and "poor" language learners. They read two passages, one with about…

Mangubhai, Francis – 1991
A study used the think-aloud method to determine how adult learners beginning to learn a second language through oral input construct meanings, and what processing behaviors they engage in to help them construct future meanings more effectively. The subjects, 5 adult undergraduate and graduate students aged 23-55, were taught 20 Hindi lessons…

Glidden, Peter L.; Fry, Erin K. – 1993
Theoretical tools from cognitive science were used to put together a framework for a fine-grained theory of how students learn elementary algebra in the classroom. Developing the framework included assessing the shortcomings of current models, evaluating whether unified theories of cognition can be adapted for learning mathematics in the…
