Huang, Wen; Roscoe, Rod D.; Craig, Scotty D.; Johnson-Glenberg, Mina C. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2022
Virtual reality (VR) has a high potential to facilitate education. However, the design of many VR learning applications was criticized for lacking the guidance of explicit and appropriate learning theories. To advance the use of VR in effective instruction, this study proposed a model that extended the cognitive-affective theory of learning with…

Starr, Christine R.; Hunter, Lisa; Dunkin, Robin; Honig, Susanna; Palomino, Rafael; Leaper, Campbell – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2020
Our short-term longitudinal study explored undergraduate students' experiences with performing authentic science practices in the classroom in relation to their science achievement and course grades. In addition, classroom experiences (felt recognition as a scientist and perceived classroom climate) and changes over a 10-week academic term in STEM…

Villafañe, Sachel M.; Xu, Xiaoying; Raker, Jeffrey R. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2016
Self-efficacy is an affective learning outcome that has been associated with academic performance and retention in STEM. Self-efficacy has been defined as students' beliefs about their ability to complete a given task, and it can be affected by a student's positive or negative experience in a course. In this study, students' chemistry…

González, Antonio; Paoloni, Paola-Verónica – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2015
Research in chemistry education has highlighted a number of variables that predict learning and performance, such as teacher-student interactions, academic motivation and metacognition. Most of this chemistry research has examined these variables by identifying dyadic relationships through bivariate correlations. The main purpose of this study was…

Cromley, Jennifer G.; Snyder-Hogan, Lindsey E.; Luciw-Dubas, Ulana A. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2010
Reading comprehension is strongly associated with academic achievement, including science achievement. A better understanding of reading comprehension processes in science text might hold promise for improving science achievement in the long run. We tested the fit of the direct and inferential mediation (DIME) model of reading comprehension…
