Jinju Lee; Jongchan Park; Dongsik Kim – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2024
This study investigates when and how awareness of knowledge gaps (AKG) manifests by observing the problem-solving phase of the educational approach known as problem-solving followed by instruction (PS-I). By comprehensively exploring cognitive and metacognitive process of learners during this phase and categorizing students' judgements of…

Ouhao Chen; Endah Retnowati; BoBo Kai Yin Chan; Slava Kalyuga – Educational Psychology, 2023
The worked example effect has been well documented within the framework of Cognitive Load Theory (CLT), which suggests that teaching with examples would be superior to engaging in unguided problem solving, particularly for novices, as using worked examples would reduce their cognitive load, compared to solving problems, thus facilitating knowledge…

Jiaxin Cui; Fan Yang; Yuanyi Peng; Saisai Wang; Xinlin Zhou – Infant and Child Development, 2024
Symbolic and situational mathematics are the two major representations of mathematical knowledge. Although previous literature has studied the relationship between the two from the perspective of teaching practice, learning effectiveness and behavioural performance, there is still a lack of empirical psychological research on cognitive mechanisms…

Xie, Heping; Zhao, Tingting; Deng, Sue; Peng, Ji; Wang, Fuxing; Zhou, Zongkui – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2021
Eye movement modelling examples (EMME) are computer-based videos displaying the visualized eye gaze behaviour of a domain expert person (model) while carefully executing the learning or problem-solving task. The role of EMME in promoting cognitive performance (i.e., final scores of learning outcome or problem solving) has been questioned due to…

Nicholas Gorgievski; Thomas DeFranco – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2024
In most mathematics textbooks, each lesson is followed by a set of homework problems in one of two ways -- blocked practice and mixed practice. Additionally, most mathematics textbooks rely on a common learning strategy called overlearning, that is, mastering a skill and continuing to practice this same skill. This study investigated the effects…

Sternberg, Robert J. – Journal of Intelligence, 2021
This article explores the advantages of viewing intelligence not as a fixed trait residing within an individual, but rather as a person × task × situation interaction. The emphasis in the article is on the role of persons solving tasks embedded in situations involving learning, intellectual abilities, and competencies. The article opens with a…

Touw, Kirsten W. J.; Vogelaar, Bart; Thissen, Floor; Rovers, Sanne; Resing, Wilma C. M. – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2020
Background: The need to focus more on children's abilities to change requires new assessment technologies in education. Process-oriented assessment can be useful in this regard. Dynamic testing has the potential to provide in-depth information about children's learning processes and cognitive abilities. Aim: This study implemented a…

Ahmet Oguz Akçay – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2024
This study aims to investigate pre-service teachers' integration of technology and how the integration of technology influences the level of cognitive demands of the mathematics tasks in their mathematics technology activities. The purpose of this study was to investigate the various levels of cognitive demands of mathematical tasks created or…

Chen, Ouhao; Retnowati, Endah; Kalyuga, Slava – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2020
Background: The worked example effect in cognitive load theory suggests that providing worked examples first followed by solving similar problems would facilitate students' learning. Using problem solving-worked example sequence is another way of implementing example-based instruction. Although research has demonstrated the superiority of worked…

Xu, Chang; LeFevre, Jo-Anne; Skwarchuk, Sheri-Lynn; Di Lonardo Burr, Sabrina; Lafay, Anne; Wylie, Judith; Osana, Helena P.; Douglas, Heather; Maloney, Erin A.; Simms, Victoria – Developmental Psychology, 2021
In the present research, we provide empirical evidence for the process of symbolic integration of number associations, focusing on the development of simple addition (e.g., 5 + 3 = 8), subtraction (e.g., 5 - 3 = 2), and multiplication (e.g., 5 × 3 = 15). Canadian children were assessed twice, in Grade 2 and Grade 3 (N = 244; 55% girls). All…

Antonijevic, Radovan – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2016
In the process of learning mathematics, students practice various forms of thinking activities aimed to substantially contribute to the development of their different cognitive structures. In this paper, the subject matter is a "cognitive obstacle", a phenomenon that occurs in the procedures of solving mathematical tasks. Each task in…

Richert, Rebekah A.; Schlesinger, Molly A. – Infant and Child Development, 2017
The current study examined if preschoolers' understanding of fantasy and reality are related to their learning from educational videos. Forty-nine 3- to 6-year-old children watched short clips of popular educational programs in which animated characters solved problems. Following video viewing, children attempted to solve real-world problems…

Phan, Huy P.; Ngu, Bing H.; Yeung, Alexander S. – Educational Psychology Review, 2017
We recently developed the "Framework of Achievement Bests" to explain the importance of effective functioning, personal growth, and enrichment of well-being experiences. This framework postulates a concept known as "optimal achievement best," which stipulates the idea that individuals may, in general, strive to achieve personal…

Phye, Gary D. – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2017
Within the context of complex cognitive processing and educational interventions, Woolfolk (2016) makes reference to problem solving acquisition, problem solving retention, and problem solving transfer. In each of the aforementioned types of problem solving activities, problem identification and problem representation (reflecting procedural…
