Stehle, Stephanie M. – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Students come to their high school physics classroom with experiences and knowledge that can be used to help explain physics concepts, but those experiences may not fully align with the scientifically accepted science concept. When there is a misalignment between a student's prior knowledge and the scientifically accepted concept a misconception…

Gysin, Daniel; Brovelli, Dorothee – International Journal of Science Education, 2021
In this article, we present a qualitative study examining students' thoughts and strategies while transferring concepts about energy in physics. We include theoretical approaches of existing transfer research and findings from think-aloud interviews with 20 students of different ages and school levels to develop a framework for analysing the…

Reinhard, Aaron; Felleson, Alex; Turner, Paula C.; Green, Maxwell – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
We studied the impact of metacognitive reflections on recently-completed work as a way to improve the retention of newly learned problem-solving techniques. Students video recorded themselves talking through problems immediately after finishing them, completed ongoing problem-solving strategy maps or problem-sorting exercises, and filled out…

Van De Bogart, Kevin L.; Dounas-Frazer, Dimitri R.; Lewandowski, H. J.; Stetzer, MacKenzie R. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2017
Developing students' ability to troubleshoot is an important learning outcome for many undergraduate physics lab courses, especially electronics courses. In other work, metacognition has been identified as an important feature of troubleshooting. However, that work has focused primarily on "individual" students' metacognitive processes…

Nakakoji, Yoshitaka; Wilson, Rachel – Journal of Intelligence, 2020
Transfer of learning, the application of learning to different contexts over time, is important to all learning for development. As 21st century skills specifically aim to be "generic," there is an assumption that they can be transferred from context to context. We investigate the process of transfer in problem solving, with specific…

Di Camillo, Kirra; Dawson, Vaille – Teaching Science, 2020
This article reports on the explicit introduction of metacognitive strategies by an early career science teacher to support the application of mathematics skills. The research investigated the effectiveness of these strategies with three Year 11 physics students using an action research approach. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected…

Ali, Marlina; Talib, Corrienna-Abd; Hasniza Ibrahim, Nor; Surif, Johari; Halim Abdullah, Abdul – Online Submission, 2016
The purpose of this paper is to show how important "monitoring" is as metacognitive skills in solving physics problems in the field mechanics. Based on test scores, twenty one students were divided into two groups: more successful (MS) and less successful (LS) problem solvers. Students were allowed to think-aloud while they worked on…

Meijer, Joost; Veenman, Marcel V. J.; van Hout-Wolters, Bernadette – Research Papers in Education, 2012
Studies about metacognition, intelligence and learning have rendered equivocal results. The mixed model assumes joint as well as independent influences of intelligence and metacognition on learning results. In this study, intelligence was measured by standard tests for reasoning, spatial ability and memory. Participants were 13-year-old school…

Muis, Krista Renee; Kendeou, Panayiota; Franco, Gina M. – Metacognition and Learning, 2011
We explored relations between students' trade; epistemic beliefs, metacognitive monitoring and recall performance in the context of learning physics through metaphor. Eighty-three university undergraduate students completed questionnaires designed to measure their epistemic beliefs and prior knowledge about Newtonian physics. Students were…

Chapman, Suzanne Coatoam – ProQuest LLC, 2015
Recent scholarship on secondary reading calls for a shift from teaching generic literacy strategies to teaching discipline-specific language and literacy practices (Fang & Schleppegrell, 2008; Moje, 2008; Shanahan & Shanahan, 2012). This call for disciplinary literacy instruction (DLI) reflects the growing recognition that literacy…

Hausmann, Robert G. M.; VanLehn, Kurt – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2010
Self-explaining is a domain-independent learning strategy that generally leads to a robust understanding of the domain material. However, there are two potential explanations for its effectiveness. First, self-explanation generates additional "content" that does not exist in the instructional materials. Second, when compared to…

Meijer, Joost; Veenman, Marcel V. J.; van Hout-Wolters, Bernadette H. A. M. – Educational Research and Evaluation, 2006
This article describes the construction of a hierarchical taxonomy of metacognitive activities for the interpretation of thinking-aloud protocols of students in secondary education, who studied texts on history and physics. After testing an initial elaborate taxonomy on a restricted number of protocols by multiple raters, it appeared that the…
