Lauren Margulieux; James Prather; Masoumeh Rahimi – Educational Psychology Review, 2025
Failure can be an effective tool for learning, but it comes with negative consequences. Educators and learners should practice strategies that leverage the benefits of failure while managing its negative consequences on learners' motivation and persistence. Towards that goal, this paper examines the biological effects of failure on learning to (1)…

Kilde Löfgren, Sebastian; Weidow, Jonathan; Enger, Jonas – Science Education, 2023
The creation and use of models in science is of great importance for knowledge production and communication. For example, toy models are often used as idealized explanatory models in physics education. Models can be a powerful tool for exploring phenomena in ways that facilitate learning. However, careful consideration of instruction and…

Björklund, Camilla; Ekdahl, Anna-Lena; Runesson Kempe, Ulla – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2021
We report here on an intervention implementing a structural approach to arithmetic problem-solving in relation to learning outcomes among preschoolers. Using the fundamental principles of the variation theory of learning for developing the intervention and as an analytical framework, we discuss teaching and learning in commensurable terms. The…

Du, Yao; Lubniewski, Kathryn; Price, Lori; Breslin, Grace; Thomson, Paula; Jinadasa, Natashka; Soni, Nikita – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: Children with communication disorders experience difficulty in one or more areas of articulation and speech, language, fluency, voice and social communication, and they work with speech-language pathologists (SLPs) to improve their communication. With the rise of adoption and use for mobile applications among special education and…

Maidou, Anthoula; Plakitsi, Katerina; Polatoglou, Hariton M. – World Journal of Education, 2020
Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is a complex and multifaceted subject, including many aspects, environmental, societal, and financial. It is not a set of knowledge, which can be learned, because it is an evolving subject and in addition solutions that are successfully applied at specific locations might fail elsewhere. ESD should make…

Tangen, Jodi L.; Borders, L. DiAnne – Counselor Education and Supervision, 2017
Although clinical supervision is an educational endeavor (Borders & Brown, [Borders, L. D., 2005]), many scholars neglect theories of learning in working with supervisees. The authors describe 1 learning theory--information processing theory (Atkinson & Shiffrin, 1968, 1971; Schunk, 2016)--and the ways its associated interventions may…

Ngwabe, Abongile; Felix, Clyde – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2020
The literature shows that the integration of technological tools, like "GeoGebra," has the potential to improve the teaching and learning of mathematics. The aim of this study was to see whether "GeoGebra" could be used to address identified, systematic misconceptions that National Certificate Vocational (NCV) students hold…

Xu, Kate M.; Koorn, Petra; de Koning, Björn; Skuballa, Irene T.; Lin, Lijia; Henderikx, Maartje; Marsh, Herbert W.; Sweller, John; Paas, Fred – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
Many large-scale, school-based interventions have attempted to improve academic performance through promoting students' growth mindset, defined as the belief that one's intellectual ability can increase with practice and time. However, most have shown weak to no effects. Thus, it is important to examine how growth mindset might affect retention…

Heritage, Margaret – Australian Educational Researcher, 2018
Assessment for learning (AfL) is integral to teaching and learning, and has as its central foci (i) pedagogical intervention in the immediacy of student learning, and (ii) the students' agency in the learning and assessment process. The role that students adopt in AfL is consistent with the idea of self-regulated learning, which involves students…

Kover, Sara T. – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2018
Purpose: In typical development, distributional cues--patterns in input--are related to language acquisition processes. Statistical and implicit learning refer to the utilization of such cues. In children with intellectual disability, much less is known about the extent to which distributional cues are harnessed in mechanisms of language learning.…

De Beer, Josef – American Biology Teacher, 2019
Classroom action research (CAR) represents a midpoint between teacher reflection at one end and traditional educational research at the other. CAR is a process in which a teacher identifies problems in the context of his or her own classroom and then engages in investigative methods to address the problems. Teachers sometimes shy away from CAR,…

Ramsburg, Jared T.; Ohlsson, Stellan – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2016
The cognitive conflict hypothesis asserts that information that directly contradicts a prior conception is 1 of the prerequisites for conceptual change and other forms of nonmonotonic learning. There have been numerous attempts to support this hypothesis by adding a conflict intervention to learning scenarios with weak outcomes. Outcomes have been…

Hundhausen, C. D.; Olivares, D. M.; Carter, A. S. – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2017
In recent years, learning process data have become increasingly easy to collect through computer-based learning environments. This has led to increased interest in the field of "learning analytics," which is concerned with leveraging learning process data in order to better understand, and ultimately to improve, teaching and learning. In…
