Zac Patterson; Lin Ding – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
Conceptual approaches to contemporary physics topics pose many learning challenges. One factor influencing knowledge integration is a student's epistemic framing. Epistemic frames provide a context within which a particular situation is perceived, interpreted, and judged. The objective of this study is to explore secondary students' framings…

Wackerly, Jay Wm. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
This commentary provides an overview of abduction, also known as Inference to the Best Explanation, and argues that the term and relevant problem-solving methods should be adopted by chemistry educators. Abductive reasoning, especially within the context of science and medicine, continues to be an active area of exploration for philosophers and…

Michelle Lo; Teresa K. Dunleavy – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2025
The mathematics classroom is particularly vulnerable to these judgments of perfectionism, with endless evidence of students and teachers believing that mathematics is based on an ultimate truth or a single, objective, unique answer. School mathematics still favors students' participation in rote procedures, memorization, and using only a few…

Case, Joshua; Speer, Natasha – PRIMUS, 2021
In undergraduate mathematics, deductive reasoning plays important roles in teaching and learning various ideas, and is primarily characterized by the concept of logical implication. This comes up whenever conditional statements are applied, i.e., one checks if a statement's hypotheses are satisfied and then makes inferences. In calculus, students…

Abdulmajeed Alghamdi – Asian-Pacific Journal of Second and Foreign Language Education, 2024
Despite the critical role of reasoning in shaping language teaching and learning strategies in higher education, prior studies have either separately examined reasoning or focused on one specific type thereof and language teaching and learning strategies. To address this gap, this study took a comprehensive approach by examining various types of…

Karen Roehr-Brackin; Karolina Baranowska; Renato Pavlekovic; Pawel Scheffler – Modern Language Journal, 2024
Aptitude-treatment interaction (ATI) research is of both theoretical and practical interest to second language (L2) learning, since it provides insights into the processes linking learner-internal individual difference factors and learner-external contextual variables including instructional approach--variables that jointly determine L2 outcomes.…

Zrudlo, Ilya – Theory and Research in Education, 2021
Indoctrination is an ongoing concern in education, especially in debates about moral education. One approach to this issue is to come up with a rational procedure that can robustly justify potential items of moral education content. I call this the 'rationalistic justification project'. Michael Hand's recent book, "A Theory of Moral…

Petchey, Sara; Treagust, David; Niebert, Kai – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2023
Abstract concepts dominate university science teaching, and much of this content is taught without sufficient connection to students' prior knowledge or everyday experiences. As this can be problematic for students, the aim of this research was to determine the utility and effectiveness of a professional development module on using analogies to…

Alexander, Patricia A. – Educational Psychology Review, 2017
What is relational reasoning? Why is it critical to consider the role of relational reasoning in students learning and development in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)? Moreover, how do the particular contributions populating this special issue address the pressing societal needs and offer guidance to researchers and…

Julia Eckhard; Marc Rodemer; Sascha Bernholt; Nicole Graulich – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Supporting students in building well-grounded explanations plays a crucial role in scientific practice. Research in organic chemistry education on students' mechanistic explanations, however, has revealed various challenges. When solving mechanistic tasks, students experience difficulties when (I) deriving implicit properties from structural…

Dina Altayevna Malgazhdarova; Gulzira Kabayevna Kenzhetayeva; Ismail Hakki Mirici – Novitas-ROYAL (Research on Youth and Language), 2024
A persistent issue exists in Kazakh higher education institutions regarding the nonsystematic approach to teaching grammar. Although some believe that grammar is acquired automatically, thus requiring no separate study, this sentiment may not be entirely accurate. Knowledge may sometimes be presented in an unsystematic manner, lacking structure…

Elizabeth Wrightsman; Cody L. Patterson – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2023
We investigate teacher beliefs about discourses for equation solving and the challenges these beliefs might pose for the implementation of instructional practices that promote deductive reasoning in algebra. To uncover these beliefs, we recorded three video explanations of solutions to the same linear equation with distinct discursive…

Sterling Alic; Dorottya Demszky; Zid Mancenido; Jing Liu; Heather C. Hill; Dan Jurafsky – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2022
Responsive teaching is a highly effective strategy that promotes student learning. In math classrooms, teachers might funnel students towards a normative answer or focus students to reflect on their own thinking, deepening their understanding of math concepts. When teachers focus, they treat students' contributions as resources for collective…
