Reed, Zackery; Lockwood, Elise – Cognition and Instruction, 2021
In this paper, we present data from two iterative teaching experiments involving students' constructions of four basic counting problems. The teaching experiments were designed to leverage the generalizing activities of relating and extending to provide students with opportunities to reflect on initial combinatorial activity when constructing…

Rakovic, Mladen; Winne, Philip H.; Marzouk, Zahia; Chang, Daniel – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2021
Developing knowledge-transforming skills in writing may help students increase learning by actively building knowledge, regardless of the domain. However, many undergraduate students struggle to transform knowledge when drafting essays based on multiple sources. Writing analytics can be used to scaffold knowledge transforming as writers bring…

Hu, Mingjia; Nosofsky, Robert M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
In a novel version of the classic dot-pattern prototype-distortion paradigm of category learning, Homa et al. (2019) tested a condition in which individual training instances never repeated, and observed results that they claimed severely challenged exemplar models of classification and recognition. Among the results was a dissociation in which…

Thrall, Elizabeth S.; Lee, Seung Eun; Schrier, Joshua; Zhao, Yijun – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Techniques from the branch of artificial intelligence known as machine learning (ML) have been applied to a wide range of problems in chemistry. Nonetheless, there are very few examples of pedagogical activities to introduce ML to chemistry students in the chemistry education literature. Here we report a computational activity that introduces…

Landy, David; Charlesworth, Arthur; Ottmar, Erin – Cognitive Science, 2017
How do people stretch their understanding of magnitude from the experiential range to the very large quantities and ranges important in science, geopolitics, and mathematics? This paper empirically evaluates how and whether people make use of numerical categories when estimating relative magnitudes of numbers across many orders of magnitude. We…

Lockwood, Elise; Wasserman, Nicholas H.; McGuffey, William – International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education, 2018
In this paper we report on a survey designed to test whether or not students differentiated between two different types of problems involving combinations--problems in which combinations are used to count unordered sets of distinct objects (a natural, common way to use combinations), and problems in which combinations are used to count ordered…

Lynch, Collin F., Ed.; Merceron, Agathe, Ed.; Desmarais, Michel, Ed.; Nkambou, Roger, Ed. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2019
The 12th iteration of the International Conference on Educational Data Mining (EDM 2019) is organized under the auspices of the International Educational Data Mining Society in Montreal, Canada. The theme of this year's conference is EDM in Open-Ended Domains. As EDM has matured it has increasingly been applied to open-ended and ill-defined tasks…
