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…

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…

Galea, Simone – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2022
This paper discusses the relation between the poetic and teaching. Drawing on Heidegger's question of Being and his turn to poetry as the site through which Being is brought forth through an interplay between revealing and concealing, I address the intricacies of poetic thinking in teaching. I argue that thinking 'about' teaching needs to go…

Eric Carlson – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
A new approach, termed the "scale factor method," is presented for solving a variety of stoichiometry problems. Students taught to solve mass-mass stoichiometry problems using this method found it more intuitive and had a higher rate of success than students using the traditional dimension analysis approach. The scale factor approach…

Beisert, Miriam; Daum, Moritz M. – Child Development, 2021
An inherent component of tool-use actions is the transformation of the user's operating movement into the desired effect. In this study, the relevance of this transformation for young children's learning of tool-use actions was investigated. Sixty-four children at the age of 27-30 months learned to use levers which either simply extended…

Lee, Seungyeon; McDonough, Ian M.; Mendoza, Jessica S.; Brasfield, Mikenzi B.; Enam, Tasnuva; Reynolds, Catherine; Pody, Benjamin C. – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2021
Students' cellphone use has been related to poorer learning, possibly due to greater distraction. This study investigated whether cellphone-related anxiety, addiction, and disconnection were related to distraction and learning as well as how practical educational policies could minimize negative effects. Participants (N = 218) watched a video…

Schneider, Rose M.; Sullivan, Jessica; Guo, Kaiqi; Barner, David – Child Development, 2021
Although many U.S. children can count sets by 4 years, it is not until 5½--6 years that they understand how counting relates to number--that is, that adding 1 to a set necessitates counting up one number. This study examined two knowledge sources that 3½- to 6-year-olds (N = 136) may leverage to acquire this "successor function": (a)…

Mendoza, Jennifer K.; Fausey, Caitlin M. – Developmental Science, 2021
Infants enculturate to their soundscape over the first year of life, yet theories of how they do so rarely make contact with details about the sounds available in everyday life. Here, we report on properties of a ubiquitous early ecology in which foundational skills get built: music. We captured daylong recordings from 35 infants ages 6-12 months…

Srinivasan, Mahesh; Rabagliati, Hugh – Child Development Perspectives, 2021
Word learning is typically studied as a problem in which children need to learn a single meaning for a new word. And by most theories, children's learning is itself guided by the assumption that a new word will have only one meaning. However, the majority of words in languages are polysemous, carrying multiple related and distinct meanings. Here,…
