Larsen, Inge Birkbak; Blenker, Per; Neergaard, Helle – Education & Training, 2023
Purpose: The aim of this paper is to examine the usefulness of the stimulus-organism-response (S-O-R) model for systematizing and further exploring the knowledge of the role of entrepreneurship education (EE) in fostering students' entrepreneurial mindset (EM). Current research studying the EM in an educational setting often fails to conceptualize…

Christensen, Julia Alexander – ProQuest LLC, 2023
The "Framework for K-12 Science Education" and the Next Generation Science Standards have called on teachers to shift from having students "learn about" science topics to having students engage in a process of "figuring out" how and why natural phenomena occur. These reform documents push teachers away from a…

Steven R. Mason – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become more prevalent in education in recent years. Specifically, the perception of generative AI chatbots that generate essays based on the input of student prompts has invoked mixed reviews among educators. The negative learning implications of generative AI chatbots include plagiarism, academic dishonesty, and…

Fowler, Kristen; Skinner, Christopher H.; Cates, Gary L.; Poncy, Brian; Duhon, Gary J.; Belfiore, Phillip J. – Preventing School Failure, 2022
Teachers focused on prevention of academic problems should apply procedures that enhance learning speed, or learning as a function of the time that the learner spends engaged in the intervention(s). Although few researchers evaluate or compare academic interventions using precise measures of learning speed, several strategies for modifying…

Aleksandrov, Aleksander A.; Memetova, Kristina S.; Stankevich, Lyudmila N.; Knyazeva, Veronika M.; Shtyrov, Yury – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2020
Lexical ERPs (event-related potentials) obtained in an oddball paradigm were suggested to be an index of the formation of new word representations in the brain in the learning process: with increased exposure to new lexemes, the ERP amplitude grows, which is interpreted as a signature of a new memory-trace build-up and activation. Previous…

Kim, Hyun-Kyung; Kim, Haesun A. – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
The study aims to analyze student responses to chemistry constructed response items to obtain detailed information on science NAEA (National Assessment of Educational Achievement) in South Korea and to draw suggestions for enhancing curriculum, teaching, and learning. For this purpose, we analyzed 7444 answers that could be generalized as 1.29% of…

Fearn, Heather – Teaching History, 2018
Heather Fearn was intrigued by the factors that might have led her higher-performing students to talk in historically mature ways about unseen sources without any prior knowledge of the topic in hand. She began to wonder if what she was hearing was not best accounted for by a content-free disciplinary aptitude, but rather that it might be the…

Zhang, Ying – International Journal of Computer-Assisted Language Learning and Teaching, 2022
The adoption of computer-mediated communication (CMC) has been growing as an effective approach to facilitating second language (L2) and foreign language (FL) acquisition. Existing literature implementing CMC has investigated the efficacy of various devices, including video conferencing, emails, and virtual worlds. Nevertheless, few studies have…

Elkoshi, Rivka – International Journal of Music Education, 2019
This follow-up pilot study investigates the effect of a six-month analysis course, during which college music majors learned to see the meaning of music as being essentially intra-musical. The study aims to explore relationships between intra- and extra-musical perceptions among subjects (N = 33) while listening to Beethoven's "Thunder…

Myers, Lauren J.; LeWitt, Rachel B.; Gallo, Renee E.; Maselli, Nicole M. – Developmental Science, 2017
There is abundant evidence for the "video deficit": children under 2 years old learn better in person than from video. We evaluated whether these findings applied to video chat by testing whether children aged 12-25 months could form relationships with and learn from on-screen partners. We manipulated social contingency: children…

Alexander, Patricia A.; Zhao, Hongyang; Sun, Yuting – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2020
In this study, we analyzed the imprecise (i.e., less mathematically precise) responses that 148 third- to fifth-grade Chinese students made on selected-response problems that were part of a spontaneous mathematical focusing task, the Quantitative Relations Test for Chinese Children (QRTC[superscript 2]). The purpose for this analysis was to…

Zhao, Xin; Chen, Ling; Maes, Joseph H. R. – Developmental Science, 2018
Response inhibition is crucial for mental and physical health but studies assessing the trainability of this type of inhibition are rare. Thirty-nine children aged 10-12 years and 46 adults aged 18-24 years were assigned to an adaptive go/no-go inhibition training condition or an active control condition. Transfer of training effects to…

Bernier, Brian E.; Lacagnina, Anthony F.; Drew, Michael R. – Learning & Memory, 2015
Studies on the behavioral mechanisms underlying contextual fear conditioning (CFC) have demonstrated the importance of preshock context exposure in the formation of aversive context memories. However, there has been comparatively little investigation of the effects of context exposure immediately after the shock. Some models predict that…

Peters, Robert A.; Higbea, Raymond J. – Journal of Education and Learning, 2014
The study developed and distributed a survey to measure students' preference for stimulus-response learning. The responses of undergraduate and graduate students suggest the desire to maximize grades fosters a strong preference for instructors who tell students what they need to know and exam questions that incorporate terms and keywords similar…

Sutherland, Shelbie L.; Friedman, Ori – Child Development, 2012
Children acquire general knowledge about many kinds of things, but there are few known means by which this knowledge is acquired. In this article, it is proposed that children acquire generic knowledge by sharing in pretend play. In Experiment 1, twenty-two 3- to 4-year-olds watched pretense in which a puppet represented a "nerp" (an unfamiliar…
