The aim of this study is to find out what the effects of facilitated learning interventions in a simulation game (SG) are and what type of SG renders which type of learning. Therefore, we research the effects of facilitator interventions on learning in an analogue open SG (in which there are as few rules as possible) and an analogue rule based SG…

This study investigates undergraduate microwave engineering students' conceptions of electromagnetic (EM) wave propagation using a phenomenographic approach. An in-depth semi-structured interview was used to examine a cohort of 15 students' experience of EM wave propagation in the context of microwave engineering. Result of the study revealed five…

This study investigated the associations between infant frontal EEG power (5 month), infant visual attention (10 month), and toddler executive functioning (EF; 24 month), extending previous research predominantly conducted with school-aged children. Data were collected from 410 typically developing children (51% female; 78% White, non-Hispanic)…

This book provides a comprehensive examination of teacher design thinking and practice, structured across ten chapters that can be read either as a complete narrative or as standalone works. The content is organized into three parts--Part 1: Foundations and frameworks (Chapters 1-3)--Establishes the theoretical groundwork for understanding…

Natural environments are beneficial for cognitive functioning and affect. Appraisals of such benefits can lead to the development of pro-environmental attitudes and behaviors in the long run. This study aimed to investigate the effects of an indirect exposure to a natural and urban environment during a short break in a school day, using a 'green'…

Educational neuroscience was born out of the promise that brain imaging would generate discoveries that change how we educate our children. Many neuroscientists and educators alike feel that this promise has not been fulfilled and have begun to question the utility of this nascent field that is arising at the intersection of two well-established…

The aim of the present study was to analyse how university students' achievement goals are associated with two distinct academic outcomes: academic performance and academic engagement (i.e., cognitive, affective and behavioural). Also, it investigated the potential mediating role of cognitive and metacognitive self-regulation learning strategies…

The aspects of preschool education curriculum (re)design have recently been emphasized both in various international and national legal documents and in the professional mainstream literature with the aim to support children's holistic development. The maturity and advancement of a child across cognitive, physical, social-emotional, and behavioral…

This study addresses a gap in the empirical research about how students use computational thinking (CT) skills throughout the problem-solving process, which is a crucial skill for STEM learning. I conducted task-based interviews with two pairs of Year 8 students with strong mathematical problem-solving skills and previous experience in solving…

Self-regulated learning comprises cognitive, emotional, and behavioral dimensions. However, flipped classroom studies have mainly focused on behavioral self-regulation and overlooked their relationships with each other. This quasi-experiment was conducted to investigate whether implementing self-regulated cognitive strategies (SRCSs) in preclass…

Narrative voice and focalization are two essential narrative techniques, but their roles in understanding narrative texts still need to be determined. This study uses Event-related potentials (ERPs) to investigate how auditory comprehension of literary text is affected by narrative voice and mode of focalization, and how these influences are…

Despite the enormous clinical relevance of disordered sleep to autism spectrum disorder (ASD), to date, few studies have employed objective measures of sleep architecture in ASD. Previous studies have identified an association between slow wave activity in electroencephalography (EEG) at sleep onset and daytime cognitive and affective functioning…

KAT6B and KAT6A belong to the MYST family of lysine acetyltransferases, and regulate gene expression via histone modification. Although both proteins share similar structure and epigenetic regulatory functions, it remains unclear if KAT6A/6B mutation disorders, both very rare conditions, yield the same neurocognitive presentation and thus benefit…

Within the field of emerging philosophical practices, this publication introduces a distinctive methodology in which creative artistic processes--both vocal and corporeal--intertwine with the play of thought.

Visual problem-solving is an essential skill for professionals in various visual domains. Novices in these domains acquire such skills through interactions with experts (e.g., apprenticeships). Experts guide novice visual problem-solving with scaffolding behaviours. However, there is little consensus about the description and classification of…
