Musical instrument training has been linked to improved academic and cognitive abilities in children, but it remains unclear why this occurs. Moreover, access to instrument training is not always feasible, thereby leaving less fortunate children without opportunity to benefit from such training. Although music-based video games may be more…

Wei Dong; Yongjie Li; Lihui Sun; Yiran Liu – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2024
Recently, computational thinking (CT) has gained importance in education systems worldwide, specifically the CT training of pre-service teachers. This study conducted a systematic literature analysis (2011-2021) of 38 works on pre-service teachers' CT based on Web of Science, Science Direct, and Google Scholar databases. The results were as…

Wang, Jun; Jin, Shuaizhen; Zhong, Zheng; Feng, Sijia; Deng, Yaxin; Li, Ruining – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
Immersive Virtual Environments can provide users with a sense of spatial presence and experience. But learners with Color Vision Deficiency cannot receive information entirely in the environments because they are difficult to distinguish some or all colors. This study selects learners with red-green color blindness as the sample, and designs three…

Wang, Tingting; Lajoie, Susanne P. – Educational Psychology Review, 2023
Although cognitive load (CL) and self-regulated learning (SRL) have been widely recognized as two determinant factors of students' performance, the integration of these two factors is still in its infancy. To further specify why and how CL links with SRL, we first conducted an overview to describe the multiple dimensions of cognitive load (i.e.,…

Xin Gong; Weiqi Xu; Shufan Yu; Jingjing Ma; Ailing Qiao – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2025
Tangible programming tools have become a mainstream teaching aid in gamification programming learning (GPL) due to their interactivity and ability to enhance novice learners' computational thinking and spatial reasoning skills. However, comparing the relative efficacy of different programming tools that simultaneously support these skills was not…

Beege, Maik; Nebel, Steve; Schneider, Sascha; Rey, Günter Daniel – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2023
The application of 360° videos raised the attention of educators and researchers, as it appears to be an approachable option to mediate complete environments in educational settings. However, challenges emerge from the perspective of educational psychology. Learning irrelevant cognitive strains might be imposed because it is necessary to navigate…

Yan Sun; Jamie Dyer; Jonathan Harris – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2024
This study was grounded in the spatial computational thinking model developed by the "3D Weather" project funded by the NSF STEM+C program. The model reflects a discipline-based perspective towards computational thinking and captures the spatial nature of computational thinking in meteorology and the reliance of computational thinking on…

Rocha, Kelsey; Lussier, Catherine M.; Atit, Kinnari – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2022
Spatial skills are critical for student success in K-12 STEM education. Teachers' spatial skills and feelings about completing spatial tasks influence students' spatial and STEM learning at both the primary and secondary levels. However, whether spatial skills and spatial anxiety differ or not between these two teacher levels is unknown.…

Putrawangsa, Susilahuddin; Patahuddin, Sitti – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2022
This study enquires into the embodied processes of children in solving multiplication tasks, considering how such processes can expand access to spatial reasoning skills and simultaneously develop students' understanding of multiplication. The analysis focused on four Year 2 students as they completed two embodied tasks. The aim was to understand…

Pule, Sarah; Attard, Jean-Paul – Design and Technology Education, 2021
While there is much research concerning the interpretation of diagrams such as geographical maps and networks for information systems, there is very little on the diagrams involved in electrical and electronic engineering. Such research is important not only because it supports arguments made for other types of diagrams but also because it informs…

Rashed Binfehaid Alqahtani – Insights into Learning Disabilities, 2024
This paper provides an in-depth exploration of reading engagement, a complex construct that encompasses cognitive, behavioral, and emotional dimensions. Drawing from social cognitive theory, the study examines how individual abilities, motivational beliefs, and environmental factors influence reading engagement. It identifies key strategies for…

Gisela Granena – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2023
This paper examines how research in second language acquisition has approached the study of cognitive individual differences in the process and product of L2 writing from a theoretical and empirical perspective, paying special attention to the three empirical studies included in this special issue. The paper is divided into three sections. The…

Kadam, Kapil; Mishra, Shitanshu; Deep, Anurag; Iyer, Sridhar – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2021
Engineering Drawing (ED) is one of the fundamental courses for various engineering disciplines. However, first-year engineering undergraduates often face difficulties in learning and solving ED problems that require visualisation of 3D objects. Conventional and modern teaching methods do assist the teaching-learning of a subject but do not…

Vandenbossche, Vicky; Valcke, Martin; Steyaert, Adelheid; Verstraete, Koenraad; Audenaert, Emmanuel; Willaert, Wouter – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2023
Ultrasound imaging is a dynamic imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to capture live images of the structures beneath the skin. In addition to its growing use in diagnosis and interventions, ultrasound imaging has the potential to reinforce concepts in the undergraduate medical curriculum. However, research assessing the impact…
