This study investigates the effects of metacognitive and cognitive strategies for computational thinking (CT) on managing cognitive load and enhancing problem-solving skills in collaborative programming. Four different scaffolding conditions were provided to help learners optimize cognitive load and improve their problem-solving abilities. A total…

This article explores the value of teaching walking within the context of PE. It delves into the cognitive, psychomotor, and affective aspects of walking instruction, highlighting its multifaceted benefits for individuals across the lifespan.

Purpose: As different countries are witnessing a surge in online course enrollments, the purpose of this study is to examine the impact of different stressors and strains on the continuity of online classes for understanding learner behavior. While extroverts are more talkative, sociable and open than introverts, it is necessary to understand the…

Students' social experience in fully online learning is critical to academic success. However, little is known about students' experience in online asynchronous education, particularly regarding social presence, knowledge building, and collaborative learning. In a constructivist grounded theory study, 22 graduate students enrolled in library and…

As educational technology advances, the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing language education becomes increasingly prominent. However, there is a scarcity of empirical research assessing how AI integration influences student engagement and contributes to the language learning performance. This mixed-methods study seeks to fill the…

This study investigates the efficiency of "segmented ludicization" in language learning, i.e., the method considering learners' cognitive processing in ludicized learning experiences. This method transforms traditional didactic environments into playable procedures involving intervals for learners' knowledge digestions and retrievals.…

Inquiry-based learning (IBL) represents a dynamic pedagogical approach in science education, driven by a foundation of deep theoretical constructs. This paper meticulously examines the cornerstone theoretical underpinnings of IBL, centering on constructivism, situated cognition, and cognitive load theories. Constructivism, epitomized by Piaget's…

The notion of children's working theories is an overarching outcome of Aotearoa New Zealand's early childhood curriculum document "Te Whariki." An ever-growing base of research and literature is available about the working theories children hold and ways that teachers might support working theory development. In this article, I draw on…

The adoption of virtual learning environments (VLEs) in education has grown significantly due to their potential to enhance learning. Effective learning in VLEs depends on managing cognitive load and sustaining motivation, particularly for complex tasks like developing teachers' professional vision -- the ability to notice and interpret classroom…

Research on neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) has led us to refine our theoretical and methodological approaches. We explore whether new deficit clusters in line with the Research Domain Criteria, a novel multifactorial framework, optimally explain known conditions such as ADHD, DLD, or SLD in reading. Following the PRISMA guidelines for…

Purpose: This study primarily investigated the tendency of management students to exhibit bias blind spots on three biases related to career decision-making. Second, it also explores how different decision styles, namely rational and intuitive, relate to bias blind spots, considering career exploration as a key factor that might influence this…

Within educational research, there is a growing interest in using neuroscience methods such as electroencephalography (EEG) and event-related potentials (ERPs) to probe neural mechanisms underlying students' learning and development, in natural, school-based settings. The results of these studies are beginning to appear in educational,…

Research on the effects of background music has historically produced mixed findings. This study examined whether listening to background music impacted participants' writing fluency and perceived cognitive load. Participants in this experiment were 109 attendees of a science and history museum. Participants had to be at least six years old to…

This study aimed to analyze the relationship between student cognitive engagement and academic achievement and inquired about the moderating effects of student gender on the relationship. A cross-sectional quantitative survey approach was conducted to do descriptive and inferential statistics. Simple random sampling was employed to select…

Productive struggle (PS) has emerged as a critical construct in mathematics education, emphasizing the importance of persistence, cognitive engagement, and conceptual understanding in problem-solving. However, inconsistencies in its conceptual and operational definitions have hindered its effective implementation and assessment. This study…
