Köhler, Daniel P.; Rausch, Andreas – Vocations and Learning, 2022
Expertise is featured by continued high performance in a particular domain. Expertise research has primarily focused on absolute expertise in structured domains such as chess and emphasized the significance of deliberate practice for expertise development. We investigated the development of relative expertise in commercial domains as part of…

Endres, Tino; Lovell, Oliver; Morkunas, David; Rieß, Werner; Renkl, Alexander – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2023
Background & Aims: Cognitive load theory assumes that the higher the learner's prior knowledge (i.e., the more expert the learner), the lower the intrinsic cognitive load (complexity) experienced for a given problem. While this is the case in many scenarios, there can be cases in which the converse is also true, resulting in more expert…

Nicholas Munro; Heidi Matisonn; Nisha Nadesan-Reddy; Fatima Suleman; Douglas Wassenaar; Suvira Ramlall; Mosa Moshabela; Petra Brysiewicz – International Journal for Academic Development, 2024
Mentoring (healthcare) research from low-to-middle-income countries is critical for developing evidence-based healthcare solutions. This paper presents findings from a study of the mentoring and supervisory relationships embedded in a South African fellowship program for early career healthcare researchers. The findings demonstrate how, rather…

Malik, Sohail Iqbal; Tawafak, Ragad M.; Shakir, Mohanaad – International Journal of Information and Communication Technology Education, 2021
A teaching approach plays an important role in teaching and learning process of an introductory programming (IP) course. The teaching approach should focus on different programming skills required by novice programmers. In this study, we introduced the teaching and learning approach based on an ADRI (Approach, Deployment, Result, Improvement)…

Chen, Ouhao; Retnowati, Endah; Kalyuga, Slava – Educational Psychology, 2019
The instructional effect of worked examples has been investigated in many research studies. However, most of them evaluated the overall performance of the participants in solving post-intervention problems, rather than individual step performance in multi-step problems. The two experiments reported in this article investigated the relations…

Amélie Lemieux – Reading Research Quarterly, 2024
This article delves into moments of affect, puncturing the exchanges between an early career 2SLGBTQ+ researcher and a group of Canadian adolescents, mostly composed of girls, who developed a ClayMation video to take the pulse of emerging vibrancies in maker literacies. Among these dynamisms came the matter of gender in the research project.…

Chen, Qingwei; Zhu, Guangtian; Liu, Qiaoyi; Han, Jing; Fu, Zhao; Bao, Lei – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
Problem-solving categorization tasks have been well studied and used as an effective tool for assessment of student knowledge structure. In this study, a traditional free-response categorization test has been modified into a multiple-choice format, and the effectiveness of this new assessment is evaluated. Through randomized testing with Chinese…

Manson, Elisapesi; Ayres, Paul – Educational Psychology, 2021
This study investigated the effectiveness of using a sequence of worked examples as part of the feedback cycle. Worked examples were either presented as full worked examples or partial worked examples (single-step and completion formats). In two experiments, grade 8 students completed a learning phase on a mathematics topic, which was immediately…

Chen, Yen Tzu; Liu, Che-Hung; Lee, Chih Yu – Education Quarterly Reviews, 2021
This study used CodeMonkey, an online learning platform through which elementary teachers can learn programming while playing games and experience how to integrate STEM into their courses. The study analyzed and examined their experiences using a qualitative research method. According to the research results, learning programming while playing…

Tahir, Lokman Mohd; Samah, Narina A.; Hamzah, Mohd Hilmi; Abdullah, Abdul Halim; Ali, Mohd Fadzli; Mohd Yusof, Sanitah – SAGE Open, 2021
As school leaders, novice principals faced some challenges within the first years of their leadership journey. This mixed-methods study explores the initial challenges faced by novice principals while leading their schools. At the same time, their countering strategies in handling the initial challenges are also being explored. A total of 168…

Balta, Nuri; Asikainen, Mervi A. – International Journal of Science Education, 2019
The aim of this study was to characterise thoroughly the differences between Physics Olympiad competitors' and regular students' successes and approaches in relation to counterintuitive dynamics problems (CDPs) in order to discover some of the differences between skilled problem-solvers and those with fewer such skills. A total of 23 Physics…

Chen, Ouhao; Retnowati, Endah; Kalyuga, Slava – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2020
Background: The worked example effect in cognitive load theory suggests that providing worked examples first followed by solving similar problems would facilitate students' learning. Using problem solving-worked example sequence is another way of implementing example-based instruction. Although research has demonstrated the superiority of worked…

Flores, Rejeenald M.; Rodrigo, Ma. Mercedes T. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2020
Wheel-spinning refers to the failure to master a skill in a timely manner or after a considerable number of practice opportunities. Several past studies have developed wheel-spinning models in the areas of Mathematics and Physics. However, no models have been made for the context of novice programming. The purpose of this study was to develop…

Datt, Sachin; Chunawala, Sugra – Design and Technology Education, 2018
The focus of Design and Technology (D&T) education (Wilson & Harris, 2004) has been on designing and making activities and in developing technological capabilities amongst students. Innovation is an important aspect of D&T that helps in creating new products and artefacts to overcome the limitations of existing ones. Problem solving…

Dai, Rui; Fritchman, Joseph C.; Liu, Qiaoyi; Xiao, Yang; Yu, Haibo; Bao, Lei – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2019
Light interference is an essential topic for understanding the wavelike nature of light, however, there are limited studies on modeling and assessing students' misconceptions and learning difficulties in this area. Based on the knowledge integration modeling approach, a conceptual framework for light interference is developed and used to model…
