Avivit Arvatz; Yehudit Judy Dori – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2025
We investigated the advancement of self-regulated learning (SRL) in diverse educational settings, including science, mathematics, and humanities disciplines. We identified practices for assessing students' SRL and encouraging reflection. The research questions were: (1) Can sustained changes in students' perceptions of SRL over time be assessed,…

Yang Zhang; Yangping Li; Weiping Hu; Huizhi Bai; Yuanjing Lyu – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2025
Scientific creativity plays an essential role in science education as an advanced cognitive ability that inspires students to solve scientific problems inventively. The cultivation of scientific creativity relies heavily on effective assessment. Typically, human raters manually score scientific creativity using the Consensual Assessment Technique…

K. C. Busch; Lynn Chesnut; Kathryn Stevenson; Lincoln Larson; Allison Black-Maier; Charles Yelton; Darrell Stover – International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, 2024
This paper reports on the results of a research-practice partnership that included a U.S. university research team and a state-funded grants program that supports informal science education. The goal of the 2-year partnership was to develop an empirically-tested model for collaboration and capacity-building (CCB) in support of collective…

Chan, Kennedy Kam Ho – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
Pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) refers to the content-specific knowledge that teachers use to promote students' learning of specific subject matter. PCK comprises multiple knowledge components that interact with each other when enacted in teachers' instructional practices. For many years, researchers lacked a robust methodological approach to…

Amy Adair – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Developing models, using mathematics, and constructing explanations are three practices essential for science inquiry learning according to education reform efforts, such as the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS Lead States, 2013). However, students struggle with these intersecting practices, especially when developing and interpreting…

Frey, Regina F.; Brame, Cynthia J.; Fink, Angela; Lemons, Paula P. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2022
Problem solving plays an essential role in all scientific disciplines, and solving problems can reveal essential concepts that underlie those disciplines. Thus, problem solving serves both as a common tool and desired outcome in many science classes. Research on teaching problem solving offers principles for instruction that are guided by learning…

Kang, Da Yeon – Asia-Pacific Science Education, 2019
The Republic of Korea is well known as a leader of gifted science education due to the significant progress it has made in the past two decades. This paper aims to provide a historical perspective of gifted science education in Korea by interviewing a key figure in the Korean science education community. This paper explores the various…

Bottcher, Florian; Meisert, Anke – Science & Education, 2011
The goal of this article is threefold: First, the theoretical background for a model-based framework of argumentation to describe and evaluate argumentative processes in science education is presented. Based on the general model-based perspective in cognitive science and the philosophy of science, it is proposed to understand arguments as reasons…

Bogartz, Richard S.; Staub, Adrian – Cognition, 2012
In three experimental tasks Stephen and Mirman (2010) measured gaze steps, the distance in pixels between gaze positions on successive samples from an eyetracker. They argued that the distribution of gaze steps is best fit by the lognormal distribution, and based on this analysis they concluded that interactive cognitive processes underlie eye…

Duschl, Richard A.; Bybee, Rodger W. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2014
The shift from science inquiry to science practices as recommended in the US reports "A Framework for K-12 Science Education: Practices, Crosscutting Concepts, and Core Ideas" and the "Next Generation Science Standards" has implications for classroom/school level instruction and assessment practices and, therefore, for…

Clauser, Brian E.; Margolis, Melissa J.; Holtman, Matthew C.; Katsufrakis, Peter J.; Hawkins, Richard E. – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2012
During the last decade, interest in assessing professionalism in medical education has increased exponentially and has led to the development of many new assessment tools. Efforts to validate the scores produced by tools designed to assess professionalism have lagged well behind the development of these tools. This paper provides a structured…

Weisz, Victoria I.; Argibay, Pablo F. – Cognition, 2012
In contrast to models and theories that relate adult neurogenesis with the processes of learning and memory, almost no solid hypotheses have been formulated that involve a possible neurocomputational influence of adult neurogenesis on forgetting. Based on data from a previous study that implemented a simple but complete model of the main…

Hsu, Anne S.; Chater, Nick; Vitanyi, Paul M. B. – Cognition, 2011
There is much debate over the degree to which language learning is governed by innate language-specific biases, or acquired through cognition-general principles. Here we examine the probabilistic language acquisition hypothesis on three levels: We outline a novel theoretical result showing that it is possible to learn the exact "generative model"…

Whitney, Carol – Brain and Language, 2011
Reaction times in lexical decision are more sensitive to a words' length and orthographic-neighborhood density when the stimulus is presented to the left visual field (LVF) than to the right visual field (RVF). We claim that the length effect is equivalent to the neighborhood effect, and propose a novel explanation of why the LVF, but not the RVF,…

Averbeck, Bruno B.; Kilner, James; Frith, Christopher D. – Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2011
Although much is known about decision making under uncertainty when only a single step is required in the decision process, less is known about sequential decision making. We carried out a stochastic sequence learning task in which subjects had to use noisy feedback to learn sequences of button presses. We compared flat and hierarchical behavioral…
