Sayer, Catherine M.; Doherty, Martin J. – Developmental Psychology, 2023
We examine the long-standing claim that understanding relational correspondence is a general component of representational understanding. Two experiments with 175 preschool children located in Norwich, United Kingdom, examined the use of a scale model comparing performances on a "copy" task, measuring abstract spatial arrangement…

Moilanen, Antti; Huttunen, Rauno – Educational Theory, 2021
Gert Biesta has criticized Anglo-American and German models of emancipatory education. According to Biesta, emancipation is understood in these models as liberation that results from a process in which a teacher transmits objective knowledge to his or her students and cultivates student capabilities. He claims that this so-called modern logic of…

Okeke, Anulika Mary; Egara, Felix Oromena; Orga, Anthonia Chioma; Nzeadibe, Augustina Chinyere – Pedagogical Research, 2023
The effect of symbolic form model on students' interest in logic content of the mathematics curriculum was investigated in this study. The research was guided by three research questions and three hypotheses. The study used a quasi-experimental design. The population of this research was 2,342 SS2 learners in Enugu State, Nigeria. A sample of 172…

Xue, Song; Sun, Daner; Zhu, Liying; Huang, Hui-Wen; Topping, Keith – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2022
Analogies and modelling have been developed and applied in learning and teaching science to facilitate students' understanding of abstract concepts, such as atomic structure. Considering few studies focus on comparing the effects of two teaching strategies--analogy-based teaching (ABT) and modelling-based teaching (MBT)--this study aims to compare…

DeLay, Dawn; Laursen, Brett; Kiuru, Noona; Rogers, Adam; Kindermann, Thomas; Nurmi, Jari-Erik – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2021
The present study compares two methods for assessing peer influence: the longitudinal actor-partner interdependence model (L-APIM) and the longitudinal social network analysis (L-SNA) Model. The data were drawn from 1,995 (49% girls and 51% boys) third grade students (M[subscript age] = 9.68 years). From this sample, L-APIM (n = 206…

Stevens, Laura; Kopnina, Helen; Mulder, Karel; De Vries, Marc – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2021
Preliminary empirical research conducted by the leading author has shown that design students using biological analogies, or models across different contexts, often misinterpreted these, intentionally or unintentionally, during design. By copying shape or form without integrating the main function of the mimicked biological model, students failed…

Lieber, Leonie; Graulich, Nicole – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2022
Building scientific arguments is a central ability for all scientists regardless of their specific domain. In organic chemistry, building arguments is a necessary skill to estimate reaction processes in consideration of the reactivities of reaction centres or the chemical and physical properties. Moreover, building arguments for multiple reaction…

Coldwell, Mike; Maxwell, Bronwen – Review of Education, 2018
Designs combining different types of data are increasingly used in educational evaluation, to provide both evidence of impact and an explanation of the processes by which impacts are created. Logic models are visual representations of how an intervention leads via a set of steps from resources and inputs to outputs and then sets of outcomes. Their…

Kristayulita, Kristayulita; Nusantara, Toto; As'ari, Abdur Rahman; Sa'dijah, Cholis – Eurasian Journal of Educational Research, 2020
Purpose: Analogical reasoning has been studied using a variety of tasks that generally required consideration of the relationship between the object and its integration to conclude an analog schema. The aim of this study was to describe the model of analogical reasoning schema based on some analogical problems. Research Method: In this study used…

Nuñez-Gutierrez, Karina; Cabañas-Sánchez, Guadalupe – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2022
The objective of this article is to describe types of mathematical reasoning evidenced by a middle school mathematics teacher, when answering two generalization questions in a figural pattern generalization task, related to quadratic sequences. Reasoning is delimited from teacher's arguments, reconstructed from a theoretical-methodological…

Büscher, Christian – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2021
Teachers do not directly implement new teaching materials, but rather adapt them. For changing teaching practice, research requires more insights into these adaptions. This study draws on the Theory of Instrumental Genesis to describe the ways teachers adopt the percentage bar model to create different learning opportunities. The results of the…

Zarkadis, Nikolaos; Stamovlasis, Dimitrios; Papageorgiou, George – European Journal of Physics Education, 2021
The present study investigates the effect of three neo-Piagetian constructs, namely Formal Reasoning (FR), Field Dependence/Independence (FDI) and Divergence (DIV), as well as the effect of age and gender, on students' portrayed representations of the atomic structure, considering their degree of coherence. For this purpose students'…

Markovits, Henry; Brisson, Janie; de Chantal, Pier-Luc – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2017
One of the major debates concerning the nature of inferential reasoning is between counterexample-based strategies such as mental model theory and statistical strategies underlying probabilistic models. The dual-strategy model, proposed by Verschueren, Schaeken, & d'Ydewalle (2005a, 2005b), which suggests that people might have access to both…

Clement, Tim; Howard, Duncan; Lyon, Eldon; Molloy, Elizabeth – Teacher Development, 2023
The teaching and learning that takes place in clinical settings has a significant influence on the practice of future health professionals. This article describes the use of a logic model and case study methodology to evaluate an online and face-to-face video-club, a novel professional development activity designed with the aim of improving…

Nuhoglu, Hasret – Participatory Educational Research, 2020
The main goal of this research is to study the effect of modelling with system dynamics on learning. Specifically, this research studies if using inductive or deductive learning methods applied during modelling with system dynamics has any effect on problem solving skills of students. This research has three other goals: Firstly, the successful…
