Xiaobo Liu; Yu Zhang – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2025
Background: Cognitive load theory is widely used in educational research and instructional design, which relies heavily on conceptual constructs and measurement instruments of cognitive load. Due to its implicit nature, cognitive load is usually measured by other related instruments, such as commonly-used self-report scales of mental effort or…

Francisca Beroíza-Valenzuela; Natalia Salas-Guzmán – European Journal of Education, 2025
This systematic review, conducted in accordance with PRISMA (2020) guidelines, analysed the consequences of gender stereotypes on language processing from 2012 to 2023. This review investigates the impact of stereotypical beliefs on the interpretation and understanding of language, including words, phrases, discourse, perceptions of professional…

Juan C. Castro-Alonso; Paul Ayres; Shirong Zhang; Björn B. de Koning; Fred Paas – Educational Psychology Review, 2024
Research on embodied cognition acknowledges that cognitive processing is tightly coupled with bodily activities and the environment. An important implication for education is that learning can be enhanced when the brain, body, and environment mutually influence each other, such as when making or observing human actions, especially those involving…

Skulmowski, Alexander – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2023
Cognitive load measurement is an important aspect of educational research. Current cognitive load surveys differentiate between intrinsic cognitive load (resulting from the complexity of learning materials) and their extraneous cognitive load (which is increased by a demanding design). In two studies, order effects of cognitive load subscales are…

Chen, Ouhao; Paas, Fred; Sweller, John – Educational Psychology Review, 2023
Educational researchers have been confronted with a multitude of definitions of task complexity and a lack of consensus on how to measure it. Using a cognitive load theory-based perspective, we argue that the task complexity that learners experience is based on element interactivity. Element interactivity can be determined by simultaneously…

Gemma Tur; Linda Castañeda; Ricardo Torres-Kompen; Jeffrey P. Carpenter – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
This article analyzes the relationship between self-regulated learning (SRL) and personal learning environments (PLE) in light of the educational academic literature of the decade 2010-2020. This study uses a systematized literature review followed by a qualitative analysis of the most cited literature to establish a narrative that highlights and…

Jaime Solís-Pinilla; Cristian Merino-Rubilar – Journal of Technology and Science Education, 2024
A systematic review of Threshold Concepts provides a thorough and structured analysis of the existing literature related to these essential and transforming concepts in education. Threshold Concepts represent ideas or knowledge that, once understood, allow the student to access deeper levels of understanding of a discipline. These concepts are…

Élisabeth Bélanger; Lorie-Marlène Brault Foisy; Steve Masson – International Journal of Research & Method in Education, 2025
The main objective of this methodological article is to discuss the contribution of response times as a tool in education research. The use of response times in research is largely a legacy of the work carried out in cognitive psychology, which has made it possible to describe the cognitive processes involved in information processing. In…

Prather, Richard W.; Benitez, Viridiana L.; Brooks, Lauren Kendall; Dancy, Christopher L.; Dilworth-Bart, Janean; Dutra, Natalia B.; Faison, M. Omar; Figueroa, Megan; Holden, LaTasha R.; Johnson, Cameron; Medrano, Josh; Miller-Cotto, Dana; Matthews, Percival G.; Manly, Jennifer J.; Thomas, Ayanna K. – Cognitive Science, 2022
The critical question for cognitive scientists is what does cognitive science do, if anything, for people? Cognitive science is primarily concerned with human cognition but has fallen short in continuously and critically assessing the "who" in human cognition. This complacency in a world where white supremacist and patriarchal structures…

Cheng, Kun-Hung; Tang, Kai-Yu; Tsai, Chin-Chung – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2022
Previous studies have provided various reviews with either general or specific scopes to understand virtual reality (VR) technologies for learning and teaching. However, a review of the networking structure among VR-supported education research from a citation-based perspective has not as yet been provided. With the inclusion of a total of 49…

Yusuke Uegatani; Hiroki Otani; Shintaro Shirakawa; Ryo Ito – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2024
Due to the learning paradox, students cannot have real difficulty in understanding a mathematical concept that they have not yet understood. There is a gap between real difficulties, directly experienced by students, and illusionary ones, only observed by researchers. This paper aims to offer a critical reflection on our understanding of the term…

Martins, João; Onofre, Marcos; Mota, João; Murphy, Chris; Repond, Rose-Marie; Vost, Helen; Cremosini, Bruno; Svrdlim, Andjelko; Markovic, Mojca; Dudley, Dean – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2021
This paper addresses the inadequate understanding of the concept of physical literacy (PL), often originating from complex terminology and philosophical language used in the current literature, that discourages non-native English-speaking professionals from engaging deeper into the subject. Specifically, this scoping review seeks to identify…

Lin Li – Brock Education: A Journal of Educational Research and Practice, 2024
Mathematical symbols, such as those embodying quantum concepts, are indispensable for conveying complex ideas and relationships in academic writing. However, some education researchers and students keep a distance from anything mathematical: algebraic equations, geometrical reasoning, or statistical symbols. How to lower the access threshold for…

Yuko Suzuki; Fridolin Wild; Eileen Scanlon – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: Cognitive load during AR use has been measured conventionally by performance tests and subjective rating. With the growing interest in physiological measurement using non-invasive biometric sensors, unbiased real-time detection of cognitive load in AR is expected. However, a range of sensors and parameters are used in various subject…

Kimberly S. DeGlopper; Ryan L. Stowe – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2024
Thinking about knowledge and knowing ("i.e.", epistemic cognition) is an important part of student learning and has implications for how they apply their knowledge in future courses, careers, and other aspects of their lives. Three classes of models have emerged from research on epistemic cognition: developmental models, dimensional…
