Gao, Yizhu; Zhai, Xiaoming; Andersson, Björn; Zeng, Pingfei; Xin, Tao – Research in Science Education, 2020
We applied latent class analysis and the rule space model to verify the cumulative characteristic of conceptual change by developing a learning progression for buoyancy. For this study, we first abstracted seven attributes of buoyancy and then developed a hypothesized learning progression for buoyancy. A 14-item buoyancy instrument was…

Jo, Eunjin; Lee, Minhye; Lee, Woogul – Journal of Early Adolescence, 2021
We aimed to investigate the inter- and intra-individual relationships between early adolescents' achievement goals, metacognitive monitoring, and academic outcomes. Korean sixth graders responded to achievement goal questionnaires, solved four quizzes, monitored their own confidence in these four quizzes, and took a final exam. Given the nested…

Attali, Yigal; Arieli-Attali, Meirav – ETS Research Report Series, 2019
Learning progressions (LPs) have seen a growing interest in recent years due to their potential benefits in the development of formative assessments for classroom use. Using an LP as the backbone of an assessment can yield diagnostic classifications of students that can guide instruction and remediation. In operationalizing an LP, assessment items…

Kim, Eun Mi; Oláh, Leslie Nabors – ETS Research Report Series, 2019
In this study, we investigated the potential of a hypothesized geometrical measurement learning progression (LP) to examine students' thinking and understanding in this domain.We interviewed 30 third to fifth graders using 3 LP-based cognitive tasks that asked the students to find the length, perimeter, area, surface area, and volume measurement…

Zhong, Baichang; Si, Qiuju – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
Studies have indicated the importance of scaffolding in the problem-solving process, as well as the potential of integrating learning content into the troubleshooting tasks. However, few have explored in depth the learning process during troubleshooting via scaffolds while also taking students' cognitive load into account. To address this issue,…

Harrington, Adriana; Henry, Regina; Milligan, Rachael; Morel, Nina; Osteen, Julia – Learning Professional, 2019
Imagine walking into an 8th-grade science classroom and hearing a discussion among students about a challenging assignment they recently completed. A pilot program in 18 Tennessee schools develops agency through competency-based education. Students in Beth Hines' 8th grade physical science class at West Collierville Middle School in Tennessee are…

Milal, A. Dzo'ul; Rohmah, Zuliati; Kusumajanti, Wahju – English Language Teaching Educational Journal, 2020
Several factors determine the effectiveness of language learning, one of which is the variety of strategies carried out by the teacher in the teaching and learning process. Defined as any efforts made to maximize the learning achievements, strategy encompasses material development, classroom management, and teaching techniques. The question is in…

Tang, Hengjun; Seah, Wee Tiong; Zhang, Qiaoping; Zhang, Weizhong – ECNU Review of Education, 2021
Purpose: Given that prior research has confirmed that students' mathematics values significantly affect their mathematics learning, understanding how students' values form and change, especially during different learning stages, is an important topic. Design/Approach/Methods: This study administered a questionnaire to investigate the values of…

Kai, Shimin; Almeda, Ma. Victoria; Baker, Ryan S.; Heffernan, Cristina; Heffernan, Neil – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2018
Research on non-cognitive factors has shown that persistence in the face of challenges plays an important role in learning. However, recent work on wheel-spinning, a type of unproductive persistence where students spend too much time struggling without achieving mastery of skills, show that not all persistence is uniformly beneficial for learning.…

Furqani, Dandy; Feranie, Selly; Winarno, Nanang – Journal of Science Learning, 2018
Scientific learning in schools requires not only students' ability to understand concept, but also critical thinking abilities of the students. However, the current scientific learning process is still focused on only cognitive aspects. Therefore, a teaching model or strategy that is able to support students to understand concept as well as…

Dunleavy, Teresa K. – Education Sciences, 2018
This article continues to challenge the robust myth that mathematical smartness is exemplified in individuals who consistently complete mathematics problems quickly and accurately. In so doing, I present a set of counterstories from three students in one ninth-grade Algebra 1 classroom. These students described transformative experiences in their…
