Froese, Linda; Roelle, Julian – Metacognition and Learning, 2022
Generating own examples for previously encountered new concepts is a common and highly effective learning activity, at least when the examples are of high quality. Unfortunately, however, students are not able to accurately evaluate the quality of their own examples and instructional support measures such as idea unit standards that have been…

Krieglstein, Felix; Schneider, Sascha; Beege, Maik; Rey, Günter Daniel – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2022
Concept maps are assumed to enhance learning as their inherent structure makes relations between information more salient. Nevertheless, research on how to design concept maps as conducive to learning as possible is still rare. In particular, the salience of spatial arrangement of thematically related concepts within the map as well as the…

Sintje Liline; Anensiana Tomhisa; Dominggus Rumahlatu; Kristin Sangur – Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2024
In this industrial revolution era, university-level education emphasises higher-order thinking skills. This research aims to analyse the effect of implementing the PjB-HOTS learning model on cognitive learning, creative thinking skills, analytical thinking skills, and metacognitive skills of the students studying osmoregulation concepts in Animal…

Goldwater, Micah B.; Hilton, Courtney; Davis, Tyler H. – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2022
There is a disconnect between neuroscience research on concept learning and representation (focusing on categories of concrete objects), and concept learning challenges in science education (which concern systems of causal relationships among objects and events). Bridging this gap will both inform theories of science learning and expand our…

Ünal Çakiroglu – Learning: Research and Practice, 2024
This quasi-experimental study aims to compare the effects of using combinations of written text, animation and narration in multimedia courseware. 114 sixth grade students assigned in three conditions were participated in the study. Three versions of the courseware with combinations of animation, text and narration were developed taking modality…

van der Graaf, Joep; Lim, Lyn; Fan, Yizhou; Kilgour, Jonathan; Moore, Johanna; Gaševic, Dragan; Bannert, Maria; Molenaar, Inge – Metacognition and Learning, 2022
Self-regulated learning (SRL) has been linked to improved learning and corresponding learning outcomes. However, there is a need for more precise insights into how SRL during learning contributes to specific learning outcomes. We operationalised four learning outcomes that varied on two dimensions: structure/connectedness and level/deepness of…

Prince, Michael; Koretsky, Milo; Self, Brian; Vigeant, Margot – Chemical Engineering Education, 2020
Cognitive conflict arises when students' expectation about a physical situation, such as the relative temperatures of metal and cloth, are not experimentally verified. The paper reviews this approach as a tool for promoting conceptual learning in undergraduate engineering courses, through three case studies. These cases demonstrate that cognitive…

Sangmi Park – ProQuest LLC, 2023
A solid foundation in mathematics is beneficial not only for individuals' concurrent and later academic achievement, but also for future career success and financial stability. Rational number knowledge plays a pivotal role in mathematical success, yet it is often regarded as a challenging area to grasp comprehensively. The dissertation aims to…

Snir, Itay – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2018
According to a widespread view, one of the most important roles of education is the nurturing of common sense. In this article I turn to Gilles Deleuze's concept of sense to develop a contrary view of education--one that views education as a radical challenge to common sense. The discussion will centre on the relation of sense and common sense to…

Mullins, Sara Brooke – Journal of Research in Education, 2020
The concept of angles is important for future geometric knowledge (Arslan et al., 2016; Moore, 2013; Yigit, 2014). However, although Piaget (1948) suggests angles lead to the discovery of lines, angles are typically taught later in schools, after points, lines, and planes (Charles, 2011). Therefore, the way in which angles are taught can affect…

Natanasabapathy, Puvanambihai; Maathuis-Smith, Sandra – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2019
Transformation has been the fundamental basis upon which education has always stood, as without transformation in mind, education would seem purposeless and undirected. This would imply that the objective of providing information in education is not just to gain knowledge but to achieve the desired transformation in character or behaviour by…

Bintoro, Henry Suryo; Sukestiyarno, Y. L.; Mulyono; Walid – European Journal of Educational Research, 2021
Spatial thinking has roles to facilitate learners to remember, understand, reason, and communicate objects and the connections among objects that are represented in space. This research aims to analyze the spatial thinking process of students in constructing new knowledge seen from the field-independent cognitive style learners based on…
