Instructional videos have been widely used in online learning environments. Effective video learning requires self-regulation by learners, which can be facilitated by deliberate instructional design, such as through prompting. Grounded in the interactive, constructive, active, and passive (ICAP) framework, this study compared the effects of…

The production effect is a well-established finding: If some words within a list are read aloud, that is, produced, they are better remembered than their silently read neighbors. The effect has been extensively studied with long-term memory tasks. Recently, using immediate serial recall and short-term order reconstruction, Saint-Aubin et al.…

The purpose of this study is to observe the changes on pre-service teachers' cognitive (i.e. fluency, flexibility, and originality) and affective outcomes (e.g. perceptions towards creativity-directed tasks, beliefs about the nature of mathematics) related to mathematical creativity after they participated in a creativity-focused mathematics…

Research suggests a role for aspects of the working memory system in reading. While much of the evidence points to a role for working memory capacity and the phonological loop, more recent work indicates a role for the central executive component, although findings remain unclear. There is an identified need for a reliable screening measure for…

In this paper, a process is described that is used in professional development sessions in mathematics with pre-tertiary teachers referred to as leveraging teachers' mathematical ideas (LTMI). To examine LTMI and how it impacted participating teachers, qualitative research methodological approaches were used. Research literature is reviewed that…

This theoretical article aims to create a conceptual framework for future research on digital methods for assessing cognition in children through estimating shared intentionality, different from assessing through behavioral markers. It shows the new assessing paradigm based directly on the evaluation of parent-child interaction exchanges…

This study takes a closer look at Form Four students' initial mathematical modelling process when solving mathematical problems using GeoGebra. The modelling process was observed from cognitive perspective to learn the difficulties students faced during the process and the result would give ideas for intervention. Qualitative approach by using…

To extend the existing research examining multiple text comprehension and its assessment, we developed a verification task approach to assessing of information that was "explicitly" and "implicitly" presented "within" and across nine texts. A nonparametric form of signal detection theory was used to analyse the…

The purpose of this study was to build on the existing research into the relationships between collaboration and germane cognitive load in online learning environments. Where this study differs is the examination into the importance of the system functionality of online environments and its relationship to germane cognitive load and collaboration.…

Cognitive biases restrict and even prevent the acceptance of new information, but the introduction of critical thinking may help control bias. The subject is a case study of how educators with adult students use critical thinking to control cognitive bias. The topic of cognitive bias is well researched, with over 150 different types of bias…

This mixed-method, three-phased study examined four early educators' experiences in implementing pedagogical documentation. Pedagogical documentation is a collaborative process between adults and children by which concrete examples of an individual child's thinking are observed, analyzed, interpreted, and then applied to extend the child's…

The present study compared individual and collaborative vocabulary learning through two types of reading-based pedagogical tasks in an online elementary Arabic classroom. Fifty-two beginner learners of Arabic completed a pretest, a story-based task (either multiple-choice or gap-fill) with embedded novel vocabulary, and two posttests over a 2-week…

Teacher evaluation systems are designed to provide teachers with feedback to improve their practice. The feedback, however, is oftentimes not delivered in a way that considers the underlying cognitive processes that teachers experience when presented with performance feedback (Jordan & Audia, 2012). According to performance feedback theory,…

This qualitative, non-experimental meta-synthesis explored the antecedents, consequences, and interventions of both active and passive procrastination among university students. Based on the academic procrastination paradigm proposed by Schraw, Wadkins, and Olafson in 2007, the study synthesized and interpreted the findings of twelve purposefully…

The efficacy of intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) for undergraduate college level courses was not well established and specifically, the Pearson Dynamic Study Modules (PDSM) program had not been investigated locally. The purpose of this quantitative study was to determine whether the use of an ITS designed with a cognitive learning approach; the…
