Babu Noushad; Pascal W. M. Van Gerven; Anique B. H. de Bruin – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2024
Studying texts constitutes a significant part of student learning in health professions education. Key to learning from text is the ability to effectively monitor one's own cognitive performance and take appropriate regulatory steps for improvement. Inferential cues generated during a learning experience typically guide this monitoring process. It…

Peterson, Carole; Wang, Qi; Lillington, N. Brandon; Hallett, Darcy – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2022
Young adults recalled and dated their five earliest memories, and dates compared with independent parental dates. Participants also provided information about how they derived dates through a "thinking aloud" procedure. All participants were also asked if they had experienced various landmark events when young. One group, the Priming…

Dodd, Rebecca V.; Rafi, Damir; Stackhouse, Ashlyn A.; Brown, Celia A.; Westacott, Rachel J.; Meeran, Karim; Hughes, Elizabeth; Wilkinson, Paul; Gurnell, Mark; Swales, Catherine; Sam, Amir H. – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2023
Previous literature has explored unconscious racial biases in clinical education and medicine, finding that people with darker skin tones can be underrepresented in learning resources and managed differently in a clinical setting. This study aimed to examine whether patient skin colour can affect the diagnostic ability and confidence of medical…

Takanori Sato – Language Testing, 2024
Assessing the content of learners' compositions is a common practice in second language (L2) writing assessment. However, the construct definition of content in L2 writing assessment potentially underrepresents the target competence in content and language integrated learning (CLIL), which aims to foster not only L2 proficiency but also critical…

Braithwaite, David W.; Sprague, Lauren – Cognitive Science, 2021
When, how, and why students use conceptual knowledge during math problem solving is not well understood. We propose that when solving routine problems, students are more likely to recruit conceptual knowledge if their procedural knowledge is weak than if it is strong, and that in this context, metacognitive processes, specifically feelings of…

Palisse, Jennifer; King, Deborah Martina; MacLean, Mark – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
There is a growing interest in using comparative judgement as a peer assessment tool involving students choosing the 'better' of two pieces of work. However, it has not been shown whether peer assessment through comparative judgement is effective for students' learning. To gain a better understanding of the comparative judgement process, we…

Braithwaite, David W.; Sprague, Lauren; Siegler, Robert S. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
To explain children's difficulties learning fraction arithmetic, Braithwaite et al. (2017) proposed FARRA, a theory of fraction arithmetic implemented as a computational model. The present study tested predictions of the theory in a new domain, decimal arithmetic, and investigated children's use of conceptual knowledge in that domain. Sixth and…

Kok, Ellen; Hormann, Olle; Rou, Jeroen; Saase, Evi; der Schaaf, Marieke; Kester, Liesbeth; Gog, Tamara – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2022
Background: Performance monitoring plays a key role in self-regulated learning, but is difficult, especially for complex visual tasks such as navigational map reading. Gaze displays (i.e. visualizations of participants' eye movements during a task) might serve as feedback to improve students' performance monitoring. Objectives: We hypothesized…

Yoon, Jong-Sung; Boutis, Kathy; Pecaric, Martin R.; Fefferman, Nancy R.; Ericsson, K. Anders; Pusic, Martin V. – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2020
Models for diagnostic reasoning in radiology have been based on the observed behaviors of experienced radiologists but have not directly focused on the thought processes of novices as they improve their accuracy of image interpretation. By collecting think-aloud verbal reports, the current study was designed to investigate differences in specific…

Golding, Clinton – Teaching in Higher Education, 2019
We expect our students to learn different ways of thinking, such as historical empathy or scientific reasoning, reflection, critical analysis, or clinical reasoning. But how do we discern if they have learned these ways of thinking when thinking is often abstract, tacit and seemingly invisible? In this conceptual and theoretical article, I argue…

Leighton, Jacqueline P. – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2019
Background and Aims: In educational measurement, performance assessments occupy a niche for offering a true-to-life format that affords the measurement of high-level cognitive competencies and the evidence to draw inferences about intellectual capital. However, true-to-life formats also introduce myriad complexities and can skew if not outright…

Hoang, Giang Thi Linh – JALT CALL Journal, 2022
This study examines the implementation of "Criterion," an automated writing evaluation system developed by ETS, as a source of diagnostic feedback on learners' linguistic performance in a Vietnamese EFL writing classroom. Thirty-eight second-year English majors had access to "Criterion" for a five-month period. Data include…

Domke, Lisa M. – Journal of Literacy Research, 2022
This mixed-methods study analyzed how elementary-school children translated while reading Spanish-English dual-language books (DLBs). Specifically, it investigated the types of strategies students used to translate words in DLBs, strategies' success, and differences in strategy use based on grade, home language(s), and oral reading accuracy.…

Franco, Amanda R.; Vieira, Rui Marques; Riegel, Fernando; Crossetti, Maria da Graça Oliveira – Studies in Higher Education, 2021
Critical Thinking is a transversal skill needed to face current and future challenges, longed for in school, work, and life. Paradoxically, such relevance does not always translate into tangible efforts to measure and promote it. We present the cross-cultural translation, adaptation, and validation process of Critical Thinking Mindset Self-Rating…

Tsiola, Anna – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Naturalistic language learning is contextually grounded. When people learn their first (L1) and often their second (L2) language, they do so in various contexts. In this dissertation I examine the effect of various contexts on language development. Part 1 describes the effects of textual, linguistic context in reading. I employed an eye-tracking…
