Christian G. K. Hahn; Henrik Saalbach; Clemens Brunner; Roland H. Grabner – Frontline Learning Research, 2025
Within the research on bilingual learning, first studies have revealed that content learned in one language is retrieved more slowly when participants have to switch language from instruction to testing (i.e., language-switching costs, LSC). These costs are attributed to language-dependent knowledge representations. However, the cognitive…

The context for this study was set at a retreat…

Rozvadská, Katarina – Australian Journal of Adult Learning, 2023
This is a study of the process of biographical learning and how it can be observed in narration.

The COVID-19 pandemic has unleashed an unprecedented impact on our world. In a short period of time, it has exposed deep and entrenched inequalities between and within societies and has prompted a radical rethink of the purpose and function of education. It is clearly no longer sufficient to impart learners with mere curricular knowledge. It is…
