Luca Botturi; Loredana Addimando; Martin Hermida; Azza Bouleimen; Chiara Beretta; Silvia Giordano – Journal of Media Literacy Education, 2025
Information Literacy education is challenged by an ever-changing and complex environment. The design and development of current and effective Information Literacy education requires a thorough understanding of how young people search information online, which mainly happens with generalist search engines. The present study involved a voluntary…

Lyn Lim; Maria Bannert; Joep van der Graaf; Yizhou Fan; Mladen Rakovic; Shaveen Singh; Inge Molenaar; Dragan Gaševic – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2024
Scaffolds that support self-regulated learning (SRL) have been found to improve learning outcomes. The effects of scaffolds can differ depending on how learners use them and how specific scaffolds might influence learning processes differently. Personalized scaffolds have been proposed to be more beneficial for learning due to their adaptivity to…

Roan, Elizabeth; Czocher, Jennifer – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2022
Literature typically describes mathematization, the process of transforming a real-world situation into a mathematical model, in terms of desirable actions and behaviors students exhibit. We attended to STEM undergraduate students' quantitative reasoning as they derived equations. Analysis of the meanings they held for arithmetic operations (+, -,…

Lei, Daisy; Liu, Yushuang; van Hell, Janet G. – Language Learning, 2022
We examined the impact of images on novel word learning and consolidation, in a conceptual replication of Liu and Van Hell (2020). After participants had learned one set of novel words with definitions and images on Day 1 (remote words) and a different set on Day 2 (recent words), they judged the semantic relatedness of word pairs on Days 2 and 8…

Mutahar Qassem; Buthainah M. Al Thowaini – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
The optimal measurement of the effectiveness of online translation training courses necessitates a comprehensive evaluation of the translation process and product to fully understand the impact of such courses on trainee translators' behavior. In this study, we employed a one-group pretest-posttest design to assess the effect of a 12-week online…

Sawatzki, Carly; Brown, Jill; Zmood, Simone – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2022
The proposed revisions to the "Australian Curriculum: Mathematics" highlight the importance of learning to mathematise, problem-solve and reason in real world contexts, including financial contexts. Through the Economics + Maths = Financial Capability research project, the authors have been imagining fresh ideas for connecting the…

Farahanynia, Mahsa; Khatib, Mohammad – Language Learning Journal, 2022
This study investigates the impact on L2 oral performance of participatory structure of strategic planning (individual vs. collaborative pair planning) and task complexity (simple vs. complex tasks) defined according to the number of elements involved. It also explores individual and collaborative planners' planning behaviours prior to simple vs.…

Toomey, Natalie; Heo, Misook – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2019
The goal of this study was to investigate cognitive style (the visualizer-verbalizer dimension) and cognitive ability (spatial and verbal abilities) in terms of corresponding resource use behavior. The study further examined the potential link between cognitive style and cognitive ability based on observable behavior. A total of 67 university…

Hiromori, Tomohito – Journal for the Psychology of Language Learning, 2021
Student engagement in the second language classroom has been the focus of numerous researchers and teachers. Previous studies have shown that there are several dimensions of student engagement, but it is still unclear how they change (or not) over time and consequently how they affect actual task performance. This study investigated the task…

van Wermeskerken, Margot; Grimmius, Bianca; van Gog, Tamara – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2018
We investigated the effects of seeing the instructor's (i.e., the model's) face in video modeling examples on students' attention and their learning outcomes. Research with university students suggested that the model's face attracts students' attention away from what the model is doing, but this did not hamper learning. We aimed to investigate…

Zhang, Zhe – Language Learning Journal, 2022
The concept of learner engagement has traditionally been examined in the field of education and it has been found to be associated with positive educational outcomes. While several studies in second language acquisition have looked at learner engagement with corrective feedback, there is a dearth of research investigating its relevance to…

Powell, Marjorie – California Journal of Teacher Education, 1977
Research based upon the concept that teaching consists of separate, enumerable acts has proven the opposite: that it is composed of interrelated activities and influences. (MJB)

Shimoff, Eliot H.; Matthews, Byron A. – 1980
Five experiments were conducted to determine whether properties inherent in some training procedures may subtly influence the adaptability of skilled performance of complex tasks. The first two experiments assessed the insensitivity of low-rate performances. Examined in the third experiment was the issue of whether instructions that focus…
