Cheng, Patricia W.; Sandhofer, Catherine M.; Liljeholm, Mimi – Cognitive Science, 2022
The present paper examines a type of abstract domain-general knowledge required for the process of constructing useable domain-specific causal knowledge, the evident goal of causal learning. It tests the hypothesis that analytic knowledge of "causal-invariance decomposition functions" is essential for this process. Such knowledge…

Ünlü, Melihan – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
The aim of this study was to analyse preservice elementary mathematics teachers' concept definitions of circle, circular region, and sphere concepts in geometrical terms. The research was conducted during the 2016-2017 academic year with 56 preservice mathematics teachers enrolled within a teacher education programme at a state university in…

Sensoy, Özlem; Culham, Jody C.; Schwarzer, Gudrun – Infant and Child Development, 2021
We investigate when infants exhibit knowledge of the familiar size of well-known objects and whether this knowledge is affected by stimulus format, that is, whether the stimuli are presented as real objects or matched pictures. Infants (130 7- and 12-month-olds) saw everyday objects such as sippy cups and pacifiers in their familiar size and novel…

Maude, Alaric – International Research in Geographical and Environmental Education, 2020
This article examines whether geography can provide the powerful knowledge that is a key element of a Future 3 curriculum, and an important component of the GeoCapabilities Project's proposals for the teaching of geography. Powerful knowledge is knowledge that gives students the intellectual ability to analyse, explain, predict, evaluate and think…

Mizrap Bulunuz; Betül Kuralay – Online Submission, 2023
Mole, molar mass and the Avogadro number are used constantly to measure the amount of substance in chemical changes. However, students have difficulty in understanding these concepts because they are not familiar with measuring very small amounts of matter that cannot be seen and weighed in daily life, like atoms. The mole concept was developed to…

Wolmarans, Nicky – Teaching in Higher Education, 2022
One of the intellectual threads to which Suellen Shay contributed was describing the curriculum structure of professional and vocational education. This work was part of the Bernsteinian call for a return to knowledge in the curriculum. But education for vocations and professions, termed 'regions', remains a vexing problem. Turning to LCT…

Danika L. Pfeiffer; Rebecca J. Landa – Grantee Submission, 2022
Early child care and education providers provide instruction to diverse learners, including children with developmental delays but often lack training in use of evidence-based instructional strategies to support children's meaningful learning engagement. This preliminary study examined effects of the Early Achievements for Child Care Providers…

Joginder Singh, Susheel; Suhumaran, Liora Veralyn; Skulski, Kati; Ahmad Rusli, Yazmin – Augmentative and Alternative Communication, 2022
Most speech-language pathologists (SLPs) in Malaysia practice with an undergraduate degree, which provides them with limited knowledge about and training in augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). This limited knowledge and training may affect their confidence and competence when introducing and using AAC with individuals for whom it is…

Moosa Ali Abdullah Alhadi – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Geometry education is an important aspect of STEM education and career development, but it is often overlooked in K-12 education in the United States. Although there is some research on teaching geometry to students with learning difficulties at the elementary level, there is a lack of research on teaching advanced geometry skills at high school…

Cleland, J. A.; Cook, D. A.; Maloney, S.; Tolsgaard, M. G. – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2022
Studies of cost and value can inform educational decision making, yet our understanding of the barriers to such research is incomplete. To address this gap, our aim was to explore the attitudes of global thought leaders in HPE towards cost and value research. This was a qualitative virtual interview study underpinned by social constructionism. In…

Chin-Parker, Seth; Cantelon, Julie – Cognitive Science, 2017
This paper provides evidence for a contrastive account of explanation that is motivated by pragmatic theories that recognize the contribution that context makes to the interpretation of a prompt for explanation. This study replicates the primary findings of previous work in explanation-based category learning (Williams & Lombrozo, 2010),…

Ariso, José María – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2017
The definitions of "negative knowledge" and the studies in this regard published to date have not considered the categorial distinction Wittgenstein established between knowledge and certainty. Hence, the important role that certainty, despite its omission, should have in these definitions and studies has not yet been shown. In this…

Sen, Ceylan; Ay, Zeynep Sonay; Güler, Gürsel – Athens Journal of Education, 2021
This study investigated the effectiveness of inquiry-based learning (IBL) approach in ratio and proportion on the mathematics reasoning skill of seventh-grade students. The study was carried out in a seventh-grade mathematics course in a middle school located in the Central Anatolia region of Turkey during the 2016-2017 academic year. The IBL…

Palmquist, Carolyn M.; Fierro, Marissa G. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2018
Although preschoolers have strong expectations about the pedagogical nature of pointing gestures (Csibra & Gergely, 2006), more recent work has shown that preschoolers prefer to use informants' spoken language, not their pointing gestures, to make judgments about their reliability (Palmquist & Jaswal, 2015). Here, we explored children's…

Kim, Kathy MinHye; Fenn, Kimberly M. – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2020
Sleep plays a role in the consolidation of various aspects of language learning. In this study, we investigated the extent to which sleep-dependent memory consolidation contributes to second language (L2) rule generalization and enhancement of L2 explicit knowledge. One hundred native English speakers were engaged in a meaning-focused training of…
