Murphy, Victoria L.; Littlejohn, Allison; Rienties, Bart – Journal of Workplace Learning, 2022
Purpose: Learning from incidents (LFI) is an organisational process that high-risk industries use following an accident or near-miss to prevent similar events. Literature on the topic has presented a fragmented conceptualisation of learning in this context. This paper aims to present a holistic taxonomy of the different aspects of LFI from the…

Christie, Stella – Infant and Child Development, 2022
Play is an essential component of childhood, but parents and educators sometimes view it as an optional add-on, which gets in the way of learning. This view persists in spite of evidence that play is helpful and sometimes critical to learning in multiple domains, perhaps because precise mechanisms whereby play occasions learning are not well…

Lee, Kyeong-Hwa; Moon, Sung-Jae; Noh, Jeong-Won – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2022
Divergent thinking (DT), which involves finding new possibilities and seeing the familiar from a new perspective, has been stressed in mathematical creativity education. However, convergent thinking (CT), which involves searching for a correct single answer, has been relatively understudied in relation to developing mathematical creativity.…

Mariss, Antonia; Wenzel, Kristin; Grünberg, Chawwah; Reinhard, Marc-André – Social Psychology of Education: An International Journal, 2022
Previous work has shown that challenging learning strategies like "desirable difficulties" improve long-term learning. Nonetheless, because they might be regarded as strict and demanding learning strategies, they should not be perceived as positive by everyone. They should, however, fit conservative political attitudes since those are,…

Roehr-Brackin, Karen – Language Teaching, 2022
This paper makes the case for close and approximate replications of Erlam (2005) and a conceptual replication of Roehr-Brackin and Tellier (2019). The two studies recommended for replication are informed by research on explicit and implicit knowledge, learning and teaching. They are ecologically valid classroom studies with either adolescent or…

Bellocchi, Alberto – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2022
Emerging research is beginning to explore the role of social bonds in science learning. In this study, I develop a novel conceptual framework extending recent science education research that has adopted Scheff's social bond theory in understanding science learning. I use microsociological methods to understand social bonds and knowledge…

Reynante, Brandon – Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
Background: Community-engaged learning initiatives in engineering often struggle to achieve equitable outcomes for community partners because students in such programs often possess a design-for-charity mindset, which is characterized by an uncritical desire to help and the design of solutions that address symptoms of inequity without meaningful…

Selznick, Benjamin S.; Dahl, Laura S.; Youngerman, Ethan; Mayhew, Matthew J. – Innovative Higher Education, 2022
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between two recent currents in postsecondary education -- integrative learning and undergraduate innovation. We located the rationale for this study in postsecondary educational practices and policies (e.g., inclusive makerspaces, transdisciplinary courses) which have theorized the…

Livingstone, Louise – International Journal of Sustainability in Higher Education, 2022
Purpose: The paper aims to rediscover the subtle heart and discuss its importance in relation to conversations regarding sustainability. Design/methodology/approach: Based on the imaginal approach of the author's doctoral research, this paper is informed by the discourse of transpersonal psychology, attempting to open a space through which it…

Larison, Karen D. – Science & Education, 2022
Constructivism has long been touted as the end-all solution for having K-12 students learn science. At the core of this didactic method is the assumption that given the chance, children will naturally be able to act and think like scientists. In this paper, I review the recent evidence from the cognitive neuroscience and neuroimaging communities…

Neumann, Janette – ProQuest LLC, 2022
This exploratory transdisciplinary mixed methods study seeks to emphasize Global Citizenship Education (GCED) and teacher learning and change. While there is increased interest in making education more inclusive and equitable, GCED remains obscure and efforts to move policy and practice forward are prescient and still forming. This two-phase study…

Chen, Lin-An; Kao, Chu-Lan Michael – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
The uniformly most accurate (UMA) is an important optimal approach in interval estimation, but the current literature often introduces it in a confusing way, rendering the learning, teaching and researching of UMA problematic. Two major aspects cause this confusion. First, UMA is often interpreted to maximize the accuracy of coverage, but in fact,…

Dylman, Alexandra S.; Champoux-Larsson, Marie-France – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2022
Learning new information constitutes a fundamental part of children's school years. Recently, studies have found beneficial effects of emotion on learning and memory. Here, we specifically examined the effect of positive emotional prosody on content learning in two groups of Swedish school children (ages 8-10 and 11-13 years). The participants…

Botejara-Antúnez, Manuel; Sánchez-Barroso, Gonzalo; González-Domínguez, Jaime; García-Sanz-Calcedo, Justo – Education Sciences, 2022
Engineering courses usually have a low success rate, and students that take them often consider them difficult and show little motivation towards them. In this context, it is essential to obtain information about the profile of the students so that the teaching can be adapted to their perceived needs and motivations as well to provide support to…

Moon-Seo, Sara K.; Munsell, Sonya E. – Educational Research: Theory and Practice, 2022
Parents are children's first educators. Parents influence children's cognitive, physical, social and emotional development from an early age. This qualitative study explored parents' perceptions of children's play through semi-structured interviews. Interviews were audio-recorded and analyzed using open coding. Themes emerged related to the…
