Geyer, Marie-Annette; Pospiech, Gesche – Contributions from Science Education Research, 2019
Physical phenomena and relations can be described mathematically by functional dependencies. These are represented in the form of tables, graphs, algebraic expressions or verbal descriptions. Only the combination of different representations enables students to experience a physical phenomenon or concept in a holistic way. Therefore, students have…

Saifurrisal, Ahmad Hasan – International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, 2022
Problem-solving is one of the 21st-century skills. However, students still have difficulty solving sequences and series word problems. The purpose of this research is to analyze students' errors in solving sequences and series word problems based on problem-solving steps of Polya. The research method is descriptive qualitative. The research…

Anita B. Delahay; Marsha C. Lovett – Grantee Submission, 2019
Prior knowledge has long been recognized as an important predictor of learning, yet the term prior knowledge is often applied to related but distinct constructs. We define a specific form of prior knowledge, ancillary knowledge, as knowledge of concepts and skills that enable learners to gain the most from a target lesson. Ancillary knowledge is…

Healy, Sandra – Research-publishing.net, 2021
COVID-19 affected educational institutions worldwide, and many moved online engaging in Emergency Remote Teaching and Learning (ERTL). It had a particular impact in Japan due to the low levels of computer usage in Japanese educational institutions and a reliance on traditional methods. This study uses semi-structured interviews with five…

Likourezos, Vicki; Kalyuga, Slava – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2019
The variability effect occurs when learners' exposure to highly variable tasks results in better learning. It was hypothesised that learners who studied high variability worked examples would obtain higher post-test scores compared to learners who studied low variability examples, and learners who self-generated problem solutions for the same high…

Tempelaar, Dirk; Rienties, Bart; Nguyen, Quan – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2019
Learning analytic models are built upon traces students leave in technology-enhanced learning platforms as the digital footprints of their learning processes. Learning analytics uses these traces of learning engagement to predict performance and provide learning feedback to students and teachers when these predictions signal the risk of failing a…

Nagashima, Tomohiro; Bartel, Anna N.; Silla, Elena M.; Vest, Nicholas A.; Alibali, Martha W.; Aleven, Vincent – Grantee Submission, 2020
Many studies have shown that visual representations can enhance student understanding of STEM concepts. However, prior research suggests that visual representations alone are not necessarily effective across a broad range of students. To address this problem, we created a novel, scaffolded form of diagrammatic self-explanation in which students…

Winne, Philip H.; Nesbit, John Cale; Ram, Ilana; Marzouk, Zahia; Vytasek, Jovita; Samadi, Donya; Stewart, Jason – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2017
When learners highlight or tag content, they metacognitively monitor information to select and mark it. From a levels-of-processing framework, standards used in metacognitive monitoring could affect learning. We examined effects on recall and transfer of different metacognitive standards -- free highlighting expressing a generic…

Imhof, Christof; Bergamin, Per; Moser, Ivan; Holthaus, Matthias – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2018
This article demonstrates how an adaptive instructional design for a physics module can be realized in a standard learning management system. We implemented a didactic design with physics-specific online exercises that were accompanied by either detailed or non-detailed instructions, depending on the results of the previous task (or a prior…

Michael Madaio; Kun Peng; Amy Ogan; Justine Cassell – Grantee Submission, 2018
Prior work has found benefits of interpersonal closeness, or rapport, on student learning, but has primarily investigated its impact on learning outcomes, not learning processes. Moreover, such work often analyzes the direct impact of dyadic features like rapport on learning, without considering the role played by individual factors, such as…

Phye, Gary D. – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2017
Within the context of complex cognitive processing and educational interventions, Woolfolk (2016) makes reference to problem solving acquisition, problem solving retention, and problem solving transfer. In each of the aforementioned types of problem solving activities, problem identification and problem representation (reflecting procedural…

Zashchitina, Galina; Moysyak, Natalia – Bulgarian Comparative Education Society, 2017
The article focuses on defining how background knowledge impacts on second-language acquisition by giving a brief overview of schema theory, the interaction of the basic modes of information processing. A challenge of dealing with culturally specific texts in second language acquisition is also touched upon. Different research-supported views on…

Kosnik, Clare; Dharamshi, Pooja; Menna, Lydia; Miyata, Cathy Marie – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2017
This proposal presents findings from the large-scale study "Literacy Teacher Educators: Their Backgrounds, Visions, and Practices" which includes 28 literacy/English teacher educators (LTEs) from four countries. Five LTEs who use a constructivist approach are presented. Three aspects of their constructivism are discussed: knowledge is…

Liu, Ran; Koedinger, Kenneth R. K – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2017
Research in Educational Data Mining could benefit from greater efforts to ensure that models yield reliable, valid, and interpretable parameter estimates. These efforts have especially been lacking for individualized student-parameter models. We collected two datasets from a sizable student population with excellent "depth" -- that is,…

Moody, Bruce – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2010
This paper reports on an investigation into managing cognitive conflict in the context of student learning about decimal magnitude. The influence of prior constructs is examined through a brief review of the literature. A micro-genetic approach was used to capture detail of the teaching intervention used to facilitate development in student…
