Pelánek, Radek – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2022
Educational technology terminology is messy. The same meaning is often expressed using several terms. More confusingly, some terms are used with several meanings. This state is unfortunate, as it makes both research and development more difficult. Terminology is particularly important in the case of personalization techniques, where the nuances of…

Günther, Fritz; Marelli, Marco – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
Effects of semantic transparency, reflected in processing differences between semantically transparent ("teabag") and opaque ("ladybird") compounds, have received considerable attention in the investigation of the role of constituents in compound processing. However, previous studies have yielded inconsistent results. In the…

Talbott, Maria M.; Lee, Junghee – International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, 2020
Research terminology is an under-examined challenge in the teaching of social science research methods and statistics courses. An important problem in research terminology is that many of the common terms have more than one meaning in English, which students often confuse. For example, the words random, pretest, validity, and regression have more…

Multiple-meaning words may pose acute challenges to young learners, especially those who speak a home language other than English. The goal of this study was to investigate Emergent Bilinguals' (EBs) knowledge about words that convey both specific mathematical meanings as well as everyday meanings (e.g., the "volume" of a triangular…

Slaba, Oksana; Padalko, Yaroslava; Vasylenko, Olena; Parfenova, Larysa – Arab World English Journal, 2021
A particular status of the English language as the language of international communication and connections between the nearly related English and German languages resulted in the emergence of many interlingual borrowings in the Modern English and German language vocabularies. The paper aims to consider the functioning of borrowings (loanwords) in…

Whitaker, Douglas – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2016
Lexical ambiguities exist when two different meanings are ascribed to the same word. Such lexical ambiguities can be particularly problematic for learning material with technical words that have everyday meanings that are not the same as the technical meaning. This study reports on lexical ambiguities in six statistical words germane to statistics…

Kaplan, Jennifer J.; Rogness, Neal T.; Fisher, Diane G. – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2014
Words that are part of colloquial English but used differently in a technical domain may possess lexical ambiguity. The use of such words by instructors may inhibit student learning if incorrect connections are made by students between the technical and colloquial meanings. One fundamental word in statistics that has lexical ambiguity for students…

Richardson, Alice M.; Dunn, Peter K.; Hutchins, Rene – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2013
Lexical ambiguity arises when a word from everyday English is used differently in a particular discipline, such as statistics. This paper reports on a project that begins by identifying tutors' perceptions of words that are potentially lexically ambiguous to students, in two different ways. Students' definitions of nine lexically ambiguous words…

Schoor, Cornelia; Narciss, Susanne; Körndle, Hermann – Educational Psychologist, 2015
This article reviews the terms and concepts that have been used for describing regulation of learning during cooperative and collaborative learning and suggests differentiating them on the basis of which parts of a regulatory feedback loop model are being shared. During cooperative and collaborative learning, not only self-regulation but also the…

Wery, Jessica J.; Cullinan, Douglas – Journal of Emotional and Behavioral Disorders, 2013
This article examines definitions state education agencies use to describe the federal education disability called "emotional disturbance." State definitions were collected so that various aspects of them could be analyzed and compared with results of similar studies completed in the 1970s and 1980s. Among results are that state definitions have…

Rama, Pia; Relander-Syrjanen, Kristiina; Carlson, Synnove; Salonen, Oili; Kujala, Teija – Brain and Language, 2012
This fMRI study was conducted to investigate whether language semantics is processed even when attention is not explicitly directed to word meanings. In the "unattended" condition, the subjects performed a visual detection task while hearing semantically related and unrelated word pairs. In the "phoneme" condition, the subjects made phoneme…
