Cechák, Jaroslav; Pelánek, Radek – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2021
Measuring similarity of educational items has several applications in the development of adaptive learning systems, and previous research has already proposed a wide range of similarity measures. In this work, we provide an experimental evaluation of selected similarity measures using a large dataset. The used items are alternate-choice questions…

Arens, A. Katrin; Niepel, Christoph – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2023
Background: The reciprocal internal/external frame of reference (RI/E) combines two models of academic self-concept formation, namely the reciprocal effects model (REM) and the internal/external frame of reference (I/E) model. The REM assumes reciprocal relations between achievement and academic self-concept. The I/E model assumes contrast effects…

Wong, Sarah Shi Hui – Educational Psychology Review, 2023
Transfer of learning is a fundamental goal of education but is challenging to achieve, especially where far transfer to remote contexts is at stake. How can we improve learners' flexible application of knowledge to distant domains? In a counterintuitive phenomenon termed the "derring effect," deliberately committing and correcting errors…

Mizrap Bulunuz; Betül Kuralay – Online Submission, 2023
Mole, molar mass and the Avogadro number are used constantly to measure the amount of substance in chemical changes. However, students have difficulty in understanding these concepts because they are not familiar with measuring very small amounts of matter that cannot be seen and weighed in daily life, like atoms. The mole concept was developed to…

Mi Yeon Lee; Ji-Eun Lee – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2023
This study investigated how 155 pre-service teachers solved three pattern generalization problems in a two-part written test and sequenced them for teaching purposes to demonstrate their curricular noticing. Participants' solutions were analyzed using inductive content analysis, which showed that only 8.4% of PSTs produced correct answers to all…

Jennifer Talbot; Amanda Cullen; Cheryl Lizano – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2023
Understanding fraction as a quantity has been identified as a key developmental understanding. In this study, students in Grades 5, 8, and 11 were asked to compare the areas of two halves of the same square--a rectangle and a right triangle. Findings from this study suggest that students who understand fraction as a quantity use reasoning related…

Ito, Chiyuki; Feldman, Naomi H. – Cognitive Science, 2022
Iterated learning models of language evolution have typically been used to study the emergence of language, rather than historical language change. We use iterated learning models to investigate historical change in the accent classes of two Korean dialects. Simulations reveal that many of the patterns of historical change can be explained as…

Köse, Hasan; Sönmez-Kartal, Mine – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
The primary purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of presenting animated video prompting (VP) in teaching car wash skills to individuals with mild intellectual disability (ID). In addition, it was aimed to investigate the permanence of the teaching, the generalizability of the acquired skill, and the opinions of the participants…

Gee, Elisabeth; Gao, Yuchan – Adult Literacy Education, 2022
This article identifies and describes several different approaches to using game-mediated language learning (GML2), drawing in particular on Reinhardt and Sykes' (2012; 2014) framework and related literature. The article concludes with a brief discussion of potential applications to adult literacy and basic education settings and learners.

Diedrichs, Victoria A.; Jewell, Courtney C.; Harnish, Stacy M. – Topics in Language Disorders, 2022
Purpose: The purpose of this article was to explore the extent to which nonlinguistic cognitive factors demonstrate a relationship with aphasia treatment outcomes. To that end, we conducted a scoping review to broadly characterize the state of the literature related to this topic. Methods: Reporting guidelines from the PRISMA extension for scoping…

Sng, Cheong Ying; Carter, Mark; Stephenson, Jennifer – International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, 2022
Difficulties with social conversation can be a direct result of the social skills deficit in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The popularity of hand-held devices and the development of commercial apps has expanded the scope of teaching social skills via this modality. This study extends an earlier pilot study in which a…

Xolocotzin, Ulises; Medrano-Moya, Ana M.; Rojano, Teresa – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2022
Functional thinking is an established route into algebra. However, the learning mechanisms that support the transition from arithmetic to functional thinking remain unclear. In the current study we explored children's pre-instructional intuitive reactions to functional thinking content, relying on a conceptual change perspective and using mixed…

Sievers, Carolin; Bird, Chris M.; Renoult, Louis – Learning & Memory, 2019
Repeated study typically improves episodic memory performance. Two different types of explanations of this phenomenon have been put forward: (1) reactivating the same representations strengthens and stabilizes memories, or (2) greater encoding variability benefits memory by promoting richer traces. The present experiment directly compared these…

Suzuka, Kara; Venenciano, Linda – Mathematics Teacher, 2019
Fragile understanding is where new learning begins. Students' understanding of new concepts is often shaky at first, when they have only had limited experiences with or single viewpoints on an idea. This is not inherently bad. Despite teachers' best efforts, students' tenuous grasp of mathematics concepts often falters with time or when presented…

Riggs, Anne E. – Developmental Psychology, 2019
To acquire social conventional knowledge, children must distinguish between behaviors that are practiced by groups of people versus those that are practiced by individuals. How do children infer the scope (i.e., level of generality) of social behavior? Prior work has addressed this question by focusing on the cues or instruction that adults…
