Geometry education is an important aspect of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, but it is often overlooked in K-12 education in the United States. Chunking strategy reduces the cognitive load demanded in the processing of information, and it has been applied as a testing accommodation for high school students with…

Problem-solving strategies are crucial in learning programming. Owing to their hidden nature, traditional methods such as interviews and questionnaires cannot reflect the details and differences of problem-solving strategies in programming. This study uses the Hidden Markov Model to detect and compare the problem-solving strategies of different…

Engineering design entails making value-laden judgments against ill-defined, ambiguous, and/or competing sociotechnical criteria. In this article, we argue that such conditions make engineering designers particularly susceptible to the potentially deleterious effects of mis/disinformation in the processes and practices of engineering design, their…

Academic journals are valuable sources of scholarly information. Although journal articles are sometimes used to assist medical education, it is uncertain whether journal articles related to lecture content increase students' learning motivation. In the present study, we found that learning activities supported by lecture-related journal articles…

This single-subject design study examines the effectiveness of a Tier 3 math intervention designed to address the academic challenges of three fifth-grade students not meeting minimum proficiency standards in long division. Using the self-regulated strategy development (SRSD) model, the intervention targeted procedural fluency and conceptual…

While concept mapping is widely recognized as an effective active learning strategy, it is still underutilized in higher education. The current literature in SoTL demonstrates the utility of concept maps but the means by which the learning benefits are realized are not well explored. This study focuses on two first-year anatomy and physiology…

Background: Social context and peers significantly impact students' motivation, especially in collaborative learning settings. However, there is limited evidence on how students strategically influence each other's motivation through socially shared regulation of learning (SSRL). Aims: This study examined secondary school students' SSRL during…

Background/purpose: Despite growing evidence that Project-Based Learning (PjBL) fosters students' Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) skills, the perspectives of those who design and deliver these experiences--teachers--are largely absent from the conversation. Existing studies overwhelmingly focus on students' outcomes, leaving a critical gap in…

This study was conducted to explore the complex relationships among task value, self-efficacy, learning style, and mathematics achievement using a moderated mediation analysis. The research group was comprised of 378 eighth-grade students from public schools, selected through a convenient sampling approach. Data were gathered using a demographic…

Generative artificial intelligence (genAI) has the potential to change how we teach and how students learn. While genAI can support learning by offering personalised assistance, improving efficiency, and providing feedback, there are concerns that students may become overly dependent on it, potentially offloading their cognitive and metacognitive…

Background/purpose: The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of an educational program based on coordination-thinking activities and mental stimulation in improving speaking and creative writing skills among tenth-grade female students in Jordan. In order to achieve the study's objectives, experimental and semi-experimental designs were…

This article presents a design experiment in which generative artificial intelligence (GAI) was topically integrated into a Problem-based Learning module in a pedagogical study programme with the intention to generate insights for both, future GAI-in-PBL practice and theory. Based on various data (student reports, notes, a focus group interview,…

Every learner has a distinct set of preferences that affect how they absorb new information. Some researchers argue that teaching tailored to each student's unique learning style yields better learning outcomes. However, these claims are not sufficiently supported by research data. The inconsistency of findings and the lack of consensus on this…

The purpose of the present study was to understand students' perceptions of the impact of a study strategy workshop intervention. For decades, researchers and higher education practitioners have used workshops as a method to buffer against the challenges that college students face. Prior research has supported the value of such interventions;…

Students often struggle with developing understanding from expository science texts. This study explored whether training students to engage in a POE (Predict-Observe-Explain) study strategy might be beneficial when learning from texts that introduce theories by describing experiments and empirical results, a common style in social science…
