Sharday N. Ewell; Alayna Harvey; Amanda Clark; Megan E. Maloney; Laurie S. Stevison; Cissy J. Ballen – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2025
An inequitable distribution of resources and opportunities for marginalized students (i.e., opportunity gaps) leads to challenges in identifying effective study behaviors, metacognition, and academic help-seeking in higher education. While students benefit when these skills are taught explicitly through co-curricular workshops and courses, these…

Taasoobshirazi, Gita; Glynn, Shawn M. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2009
A model of expertise in chemistry problem solving was tested on undergraduate science majors enrolled in a chemistry course. The model was based on Anderson's "Adaptive Control of Thought-Rational" (ACT-R) theory. The model shows how conceptualization, self-efficacy, and strategy interact and contribute to the successful solution of quantitative,…

Cahyadi, M. Veronica; Butler, Philip H. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2004
This study investigates the understanding of 18 first-year undergraduate students when simultaneously presented with two contrasting dynamical situations: the idealized (without air resistance) and real-world cases of balls being dropped or thrown. Previous work has shown that getting students to recognize flaws in their mental models helps them…

Wandersee, James H. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1988
Summarizes the results of a preferred method of study questionnaire in which college students explained how they approached reading a new textbook. Reports that women showed a significant preference for adopting a single method of study. Indicates that there was no discernable relationship between study strategies and college level. (CW)
