Leerkes, Esther M.; Blankson, A. Nayena; O'Brien, Marion; Calkins, Susan D.; Marcovitch, Stuart – Infant and Child Development, 2011
Using a sample of 263 mother-child dyads, we examined the extent to which maternal emotional and cognitive support during a joint problem-solving task when children were 3-years-old predicted children's academic skills 1 year later independent of each other, the quality of the home learning environment, and maternal emotional responsiveness. When…

Problem-Solving Strategies and Group Processes in Small Groups Learning Computer Programming.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Webb, Noreen M.; And Others – American Educational Research Journal, 1986
Planning and debugging strategies and group processes predicting learning of computer programming were studied in 30 students aged 11 to 14. Students showed little advance planning. Factors associated with learning included high-level planning of program chunks, debugging of single statements, explaining, and verbalizing aloud while typing.…

Spatial Ability in General Chemistry.
Carter, Carolyn S.; And Others – 1985
Preliminary work by Theresa McMillen and George Bodner has shown significant correlations between level of spatial visualization and orientation ability and success in a chemistry course designed for science and engineering majors. This study is an in-depth replication of McMillen's work with approximately 1600 science and engineering majors…

Identifying Potential "Dropouts" from College Physics Classes.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Wollman, Warren; Lawrenz, Frances – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1984
Investigated whether dropouts and other students having difficulty with physics could be identified by including mathematics reasoning items along with mathematics skill items on a 13-item mathematics pretest and by using records of past performance in conjunction with the pretest. Sample included 483 students in an introductory, noncalculus,…
