Alexandra Jackson; Cheryl Bodnar; Elise Barrella; Juan Cruz; Krista Kecskemety – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2025
Recent curricular interventions in engineering education have focused on encouraging students to develop an entrepreneurial mindset (EM) to equip them with the skills needed to generate innovative ideas and address complex global problems upon entering the workforce. Methods to evaluate these interventions have been inconsistent due to the lack of…

Huie, Emily Z.; Sathe, Risa Uday; Wadhwa, Anish; Santos, Efrain Vasquez; Gulacar, Ozcan – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2022
Concept maps are powerful tools used to reveal challenges in students' learning. However, their use introduces complexities when a large group of students' conceptualizations need to be examined. In this study, concept maps of 344 general chemistry students were analyzed after grouping them based on achievement in chemistry, math proficiency, and…

Vakilifard, Amirreza; Bahramlou, Khosro; Mousavian, Moslem – Cogent Education, 2020
Acquiring L2 Persian vocabulary is the main hurdle for foreign students who wish to pursue academic studies in Iranian universities. This study explored the effect of the cooperative learning approach and semantic mapping strategy on the acquisition of L2 Persian vocabulary. The study had a quasi-experimental design and included a control group…

Cantinotti, Michael; Désormeaux-Moreau, Marjorie; Balbinotti, Marcos – Mentoring & Tutoring: Partnership in Learning, 2017
Students in psychology generally have difficulties to successfully accomplish mandatory courses in statistics. Group peer-tutoring is a pedagogical strategy to support them with a peer that has already successfully mastered the content of such a course. In order to specifically tailor group peer-tutoring to the needs of students and to sustain…

Keles, Özgül; Gilbertson, Kenneth L.; Uzun, Naim – Asia-Pacific Forum on Science Learning and Teaching, 2016
The purpose of this study was to determine cognitive structures and the retention of knowledge about environmental education, climate change and consumption concepts. The field of Environmental Education is increasingly including both climate change and consumption in the context of sustainability. Thus, this research is investigating the…

Ersanli, Ceylan Yangin – Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, 2016
This study aims to map the cognitive structure of pre-service English language (EL) teachers about three key concepts related to approaches and methods in language teaching so as to discover their learning process and misconceptions. The study involves both qualitative and quantitative data. The researcher administrated a Word Association Test…

Palmunen, Lauri-Matti; Pelto, Elina; Paalumäki, Anni; Lainema, Timo – Simulation & Gaming, 2013
Studies on students' perceptions of learning in business simulations often suggest that students like simulations and view them more positively than both lectures and case discussions. However, research on the actual learning outcomes deriving from participating in business simulations still needs to be pursued. Consequently, the purpose of this…

Kinchin, Ian M. – International Perspectives on Higher Education Research, 2013
The visualisation of knowledge structures through concept mapping can be employed to reveal critical links between theory and practice. This allows consideration of particular disciplinary knowledge structures and the active role of the student in manipulating these structures to gain understanding, in a manner that can encourage students to…

Ifenthaler, Dirk – Educational Technology & Society, 2012
Cognitive scientists have studied internal cognitive structures, processes, and systems for decades in order to understand how they function in human learning. In order to solve challenging tasks in problem situations, learners not only have to perform cognitive activities, e.g., activating existing cognitive structures or organizing new…

Rueda, U.; Arruarte, A.; Elorriaga, J. A.; Herran, E. – Computers & Education, 2009
This paper presents a study carried out at the University of the Basque Country UPV/EHU with the aim of evaluating the CM-ED (concept map editor) with social education students. Concept mapping is a widely accepted technique that promotes meaningful learning. Graphically representing concepts of the learning domain and relationships between them…

Nakiboglu, Canan – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2008
Determining students' knowledge structure is important for assessing what a learner knows about a domain of knowledge. Traditional assessment methods are not always appropriate for exploring students' knowledge structure and changes during the learning period. This study investigates how the existing knowledge structure of the learners interacts…

Shavelson, Richard J.; Ruiz-Primo, Maria Araceli; Wiley, Edward W. – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education and Educational Planning, 2005
As faculty, our goals for students are often tacit, hidden not only from students but from ourselves as well. We present a conceptual framework for considering teaching goals--what we want our students to achieve--that encourages us to think more broadly about what we mean by achieving in our knowledge domains. This framework includes declarative…

Chmielewski, Todd L.; Dansereau, Donald F. – 1998
Transfer of training in the construction and use of knowledge maps to text comprehension was investigated. Knowledge maps (k-maps) are spatial/verbal arrays that represent information in the form of node-link diagrams. K-maps make the macrostructure of a body of information more easily available to the learner. Because k-maps emphasize…

Coco, Clare – 1999
Concept maps are visual representations of knowledge structure and thought. Not enough attention has been paid to the measurement and influence of preservice teachers' knowledge structure and its development over time. This study implemented instructional scaffolding interventions in order to determine the effect on preservice teachers' knowledge…

Trigwell, Keith; Sleet, Ray – Assessment and Evaluation in Higher Education, 1990
A study compared university chemistry students' (n=19) performances in creativity exercises, concept mapping, and traditional examinations. Performance in all three correlated with deep study strategy, but low correlations between the three methods suggests that they test different aspects of chemistry knowledge. Use and integration of all three…
