Lauren A. Mason; Abigail Miller; Gregory Hughes; Holly A. Taylor – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2025
False alarming, or detecting an error when there is not one, is a pervasive problem across numerous industries. The present study investigated the role of elaboration, or additional information about non-error differences in complex visual displays, for mitigating false error responding. In Experiment 1, learners studied errors and non-error…

Parnika Bhatia; Jessica Léone; Marie-Line Gardes; Jérôme Prado – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2024
Fractions are challenging for both typically achieving children and adults. Although some prior research has focused on fraction difficulties of children with mathematics difficulties (MD), persistent difficulties encountered by adults with MD remain unknown. It is possible that these adults may be able to compensate for some deficits. In this…

Marga Stander; Hazel Sivell – Sign Language Studies, 2025
This article aims to identify common errors made by hearing students learning South African Sign Language (SASL) and enhance the understanding of language acquisition in this context. The researchers formulated three hypotheses, attributing errors to vocabulary gaps, misunderstandings due to improper signing, and the dual impact of spoken and…

Johnson-Glauch, Nicole; Choi, Dong San; Herman, Geoffrey – Journal of Engineering Education, 2020
Background: Engineering students commonly learn domain knowledge by engaging with visual representations of it. However, at times they have trouble accessing information from these representations due to the way information is encoded in features of the representation. Purpose: To describe how students engage with representation features, we…

Ian Thacker; Hannah French; Shon Feder – International Journal of Science Education, 2025
Presenting novel numbers about climate change to people after they estimate those numbers can shift their attitudes and scientific conceptions. Prior research suggests that such science learning can be supported by encouraging learners to make use of given benchmark information, however there are several other numerical estimation skills that may…

Barnes, M. Elizabeth; Misheva, Taya; Supriya, K.; Rutledge, Michael; Brownell, Sara E. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2022
Hundreds of articles have explored the extent to which individuals accept evolution, and the Measure of Acceptance of the Theory of Evolution (MATE) is the most often used survey. However, research indicates the MATE has limitations, and it has not been updated since its creation more than 20 years ago. In this study, we revised the MATE using…

Sirnoorkar, Amogh; Mazumdar, Anwesh; Kumar, Arvind – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
We elaborate on a new approach of assessing content-based epistemic clarity of college physics students in terms of their ability to discriminate between different epistemic warrants for propositions in a chained argument in physics. A threefold classification (nominal, physical, and mathematical) of warrants is used, with each class split into a…

Zhang, Ruofei; Zou, Di – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
Technology-enhanced peer feedback (TEPF) activity has been increasingly investigated in L2 writing education. Researchers have conducted many review and meta-analysis studies on related research and identified factors influencing the activity effectiveness. However, few reviews have been conducted based on the activity theory that may clarify…

Woll, Nina – Language Awareness, 2019
While metalinguistic awareness (MLA) has been shown to play a crucial role in second and third language acquisition, a variety of methodological approaches point to the difficulty of operationalising the concept. The present study provides a critical analysis of MLA in relation to its measurement by means of a French-language test of…

Modir, Bahar; Thompson, John D.; Sayre, Eleanor C. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2019
Students' difficulties in quantum mechanics may be the result of unproductive framing rather than a fundamental inability to solve the problems or misconceptions about physics content. Using the theoretical lens of epistemological framing, we applied previously developed frames to seek an underlying structure to the long lists of published…

Abualzain, Osama Yousif Ibrahim – English Language Teaching, 2019
The study aims at analyzing errors made by Sudan University of Science and Technology students' at faculty of Sciences-Chemistry Department in employing passive voice in writing lab reports. The study focuses precisely on identifying the types of errors occurred in using passive voice and the reasons behind these errors. Descriptive qualitative…

Ulrychová, Eva – Journal on Efficiency and Responsibility in Education and Science, 2016
The article analyses the test results evaluating the knowledge of students of basic mathematics courses at the University of Economics in Prague and at the University of Finance and Administration in Prague. The relationships between the study of the theory, the ability to formulate definitions and to solve exercises are analysed based on the…

Slominski, Tara N.; Momsen, Jennifer L.; Montplaisir, Lisa M. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2017
Drawings are an underutilized assessment format in Human Anatomy and Physiology (HA&P), despite their potential to reveal student content understanding and alternative conceptions. This study used student-generated drawings to explore student knowledge in a HA&P course. The drawing tasks in this study focused on chemical synapses between…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the misperceptions and performance of king Saud University students' about concept and finding the limit of same partial functions given in the form of both graphical and symbolic. In the collection of the data, the researcher employed the open-ended question test consisted of four items. Firstly,…

Charalambous, Charalambos Y. – Journal of Teacher Education, 2016
Central in the frameworks proposed to capture the knowledge needed for teaching mathematics is the assumption that teachers need more than pure subject-matter knowledge. Validation studies exploring this assumption by recruiting contrasting populations are relatively scarce. Drawing on a sample of 644 Greek-Cypriots preservice and inservice…
