Ting-Chia Hsu; Mu-Sheng Chen – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of the experiential learning cycle (ELC) and self-regulated learning (SRL), both implemented through a game-based approach (AI 2 Robot City board game), in fostering computational thinking (CT) and understanding of artificial intelligence (AI) applications in university level. The sample consisted of…

Gargrish, Shubham; Mantri, Archana; Kaur, Deepti Prit – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
The teaching of Mathematics -- in particular, Geometry, through conventional methods has been a challenging task for tutors. Augmented Reality (AR) based applications available in commercial space, have not followed any structured pedagogical approach in the designing process, and also do not ensure that the learning time of students is spent…

Lisa A. Cerrato – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The problem addressed in this study was that students who use passive study techniques when learning medical terminology are less likely to perform well on exams and retain course content in long-term memory. The purpose of this qualitative exploratory multiple case study was to explore the perceptions of college faculty regarding the…

Dotan, Dror; Zviran-Ginat, Sharon – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2022
Memorizing the multiplication table is a major challenge for elementary school students: there are many facts to memorize, and they are often similar to each other, which creates interference in memory. Here, we examined whether learning would improve if the degree of interference is reduced, and which memory processes are responsible for this…

Kooloos, Jan G. M.; Bergman, Esther M.; Scheffers, Marieke A. G. P.; Schepens-Franke, Annelieke N.; Vorstenbosch, Marc A. T. M. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2020
This study examines the long-term retention of anatomical knowledge from 180 students after various repetition activities. The retention of anatomical knowledge was assessed by multiple-choice tests at five different points in time: before and after a course in Functional Anatomy, before and after repetition activities that occurred 14 weeks after…

Fatemi, Darius; Marley, Robert; Marquis, Linda M. – Journal of Education for Business, 2015
The authors examined the long-term learning effects of two different practice set assignment approaches on business students' long-term learning: a comprehensive, multiple-period practice set and a topic-specific practice set. Student learning was measured longitudinally across semesters. The authors found evidence that students using a…

Costu, Bayram; Ayas, Alipasa; Niaz, Mansoor – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2012
This article reports on the development of a Predict-Observe-Explain, POE-based teaching strategy to facilitate conceptual change and its effectiveness on student understanding of condensation. The sample consisted of 52 first-year students in primary science education department. Students' ideas were elicited using a test consisting of five probe…

Kendeou, Panayiota; Walsh, Erinn K.; Smith, Emily R.; O'Brien, Edward J. – Discourse Processes: A multidisciplinary journal, 2014
In the present set of experiments, we systematically examined the processes that occur while reading texts designed to refute and explain commonsense beliefs that reside in readers' long-term memory. In Experiment 1 (n = 36), providing readers with a refutation-plus-explanation of a commonsense belief was sufficient to significantly reduce…

Kalyuga, Slava – Technology, Instruction, Cognition and Learning, 2012
Although exploratory (inquiry-based, discovery, problem-based) learning environments have been effective for certain categories of learners and instructional situations, they could also be very cognitively demanding, especially for novice learners. Such forms of instruction may generate a heavy working memory load caused by intensive unguided…

Chang, Chi-Cheng; Lei, Hao; Tseng, Ju-Shih – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2014
Although ubiquitous learning enhances students' access to learning materials, it is crucial to find out which media delivery modes produce the best results for English listening comprehension. The present study examined the effect of media delivery mode (sound and text vs. sound) on English listening comprehension and cognitive load. Participants…

Calik, Muammer; Kolomuc, Ali; Karagolge, Zafer – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2010
This paper reports on an investigation of the effect of conceptual change pedagogy on students' conceptions of "rate of reaction" concepts. The study used a pre-test/post-test non-equivalent comparison group design approach and the sample consisted of 72 Turkish grade-11 students (aged 16-18 years) selected from two intact classrooms.…

Abercrombie, Sara – ProQuest LLC, 2011
The case-based instructional method uses fictionalized or actual narratives as instructional tools to support learning, decision-making, and improved transfer to practical settings. Educational theorists and researchers specializing in case-based instruction have suggested that cases can be made more realistic, engaging, and challenging, thus…

Bock, Marjorie A. – Remedial and Special Education, 2007
This study examined the effect of a social-behavioral learning strategy intervention (Stop-Observe-Deliberate-Act; SODA) on the social interaction skills of one middle school student with Asperger syndrome (AS). More specifically, the study investigated the effect of SODA training on the ability of one student with AS to participate in cooperative…

Gulick, Emil; Dwyer, Francis M. – International Journal of Instructional Media, 1994
Investigates the instructional effect of using selected testing sequences and gaming methods on students' delayed retention. Results of instructional treatments and criterion tests of 87 students indicated significant preferences for specific instructional strategies. The treatments were functionally identical in that they did not instigate levels…
