Maria Antonietta Carpentieri; Marco Matteoni; Valentina Domenici – Journal of Chemical Education, 2025
This research paper aims to propose a novel didactic sequence inspired by an historical/epistemological study of the evolution of spectroscopy and in particular of colorimetry. The working principles of the historical color comparators and the visual color matching method, first proposed by Duboscq, stimulated us in the development of a five-step…

Anita Marie Knox – ProQuest LLC, 2024
This quantitative study examined the effects of stored color knowledge on learning achievement and cognitive load using a randomized pretest-posttest control group design. Social media was used to recruit 60 adult participants, randomized into control and experimental groups. A multimedia lesson was presented where the control group viewed images…

Sisk, Caitlin A.; Remington, Roger W.; Jiang, Yuhong V. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
Mounting evidence suggests that monetary reward induces an incidentally learned selection bias toward highly rewarded features. It remains controversial, however, whether learning of reward regularities has similar effects on spatial attention. Here we ask whether spatial biases toward highly rewarded locations are learned implicitly, or are…

Mazzocco, Michèle M. M.; Chan, Jenny Yun-Chen; Bye, Jeffrey K.; Padrutt, Emily R.; Praus-Singh, Taylor; Lukowski, Sarah; Brown, Ethan; Olson, Rachel E. – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2020
Children's spontaneous focus on numerosity (SFON) is described as an unprompted tendency that is stable across contexts. The attention to number task (AtN), an experimental forced-choice picture-matching task designed to evaluate select aspects of children's focus on numerosity, may reveal whether task materials can implicitly prompt children to…

Shrestha, Merina; Ulak, Manjeswori; Strand, Tor A.; Kvestad, Ingrid; Hysing, Mari – Early Child Development and Care, 2019
Parental knowledge on child development is important for maximal developmental potential. This study was conducted to assess mothers' knowledge on child development in Nepal. The Caregivers Knowledge of Child Development Inventory (CKCDI) was used to interview mothers. Total of 1272 mothers were interviewed. Out of the total CKCDI score of 40,…

Gweon, Hyowon; Shafto, Patrick; Schulz, Laura – Developmental Psychology, 2018
Effective communication requires knowing the "right" amount of information to provide; what is necessary for a naïve learner to arrive at a target hypothesis may be superfluous and inefficient for a knowledgeable learner. The current study examines 4- to 7-year-olds' developing sensitivity to overinformative communication and their…

Stamp, Rose – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2016
The degree of mutual intelligibility of British Sign Language (BSL) regional varieties has been a subject of some debate. Recent research in which dyads of signers from contrasting regional backgrounds engaged in a conversational task showed no problems understanding one another. The present study investigated signers' knowledge of different BSL…

Berat Ahi – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2017
Plants is a neglected topic in biology education. Educational activities about plants are important in early terms because they are the base of both the science and the biology education. The purpose of this research is to understand opinions of the children by utilizing drawings and the colors they used. It is run by the phenomenological model…

Shangguan, Chenyu; Gong, Shaoying; Guo, Yawei; Wang, Xia; Lu, Jiamei – Educational Psychology, 2020
Extending studies on emotional design in multimedia learning beyond college samples and further considering individual differences, we examined the effects of emotional design on middle school students' learning and whether this relationship is moderated by learners' prior knowledge, using a computer-based lesson covering the topic "the…

Motamed, Bahareh; Tucker, Richard – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2018
This paper sets out to consider the relationship between design education, architects' colour knowledge, colour orientations and colour use in design practice. Specifically, a survey of 274 architects, architectural academics and postgraduates in Australia and Iran addressed the questions--is design education informing colour knowledge, and does…

Satsangi, Rajiv; Bofferding, Laura – Journal of Research in Special Educational Needs, 2017
A lack of numerical knowledge early on can impede a child's academic development. In past research, playing linear board games improved children's understanding of numerical relations, which the authors theorised could extend to children with autism spectrum disorder. For this pilot study, 10 children played a board game where they moved tokens…

Canlas, Ian Phil – Universal Journal of Educational Research, 2016
Color, temperature and heat are among the concepts in science that are interconnected. These concepts are introduced to learners even before they enter the basic education. On the other hand, in school, it is formally introduced to them not only in science but also in the humanities. The foregoing study attempted to explore the mental thoughts of…

Maurício, Paulo; Valente, Bianor; Chagas, Isabel – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2017
In this work, we present a teaching-learning sequence on colour intended to a pre-service elementary teacher programme informed by History and Philosophy of Science. Working in a socio-constructivist framework, we made an excursion on the history of colour. Our excursion through history of colour, as well as the reported misconception on colour…

Teufel, Christoph; Clayton, Nicola S.; Russell, James – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2013
A landmark study by O'Neill (1996), in which 2-year-old children were found to be more likely to point toward a hidden object to help an adult who was unsighted during the hiding event than to point helpfully for an adult who had been sighted, seems to undermine the conventional assumption that children this young do not understand the…

Mota, A. R.; Lopes dos Santos, J. M. B. – Physics Education, 2014
Students' misconceptions concerning colour phenomena and the apparent complexity of the underlying concepts--due to the different domains of knowledge involved--make its teaching very difficult. We have developed and tested a teaching device, the addition table of colours (ATC), that encompasses additive and subtractive mixtures in a single…
