Janet E. Rosenbaum; Lisa C. Dierker – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2024
Self-efficacy is associated with a range of educational outcomes, including science and math degree attainment. Project-based statistics courses have the potential to increase students' math self-efficacy because projects may represent a mastery experience, but students enter courses with preexisting math self-efficacy. This study explored…

Seyum Getenet – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2024
Students' prior achievements in school have significant correlations with their later achievements. Specifically, students' prior numeracy achievement is the most important predictor of later numeracy success. However, the assessment of this predictor across gender and its trend across students' year levels is often overlooked or not adequately…

Kevin Hinckley – Online Submission, 2024
Use of the term Background knowledge, in conjunction with Reading Comprehension, has become convoluted and vague over the past several decades of research. Showing the abundance of uses of the term in multiple domains and disciplines has relegated it to being an automatic inclusion in key notes and conclusions of research on the topic of improving…

Boby Ho-Hong Ching; Xiang Yu Li; Tiffany Ting Chen – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2024
Background: Recent research showed that cross-notation magnitude knowledge of fractions and decimals was related to better performance in fraction arithmetic, but it remains unclear whether it made an independent contribution to fraction arithmetic longitudinally when other cognitive variables are considered. Aims: To examine the extent to which…

Jonathan Serfaty; Raquel Serrano – Language Learning & Technology, 2024
Digital flashcard apps allow students to learn and practice foreign language vocabulary independently and efficiently, leaving more classroom time for communicative activities. However, words learned this way may be forgotten. Previous lab studies have shown that vocabulary retrieval practice can be optimized for long-term memory by employing…

Wang, Fei; Huang, Zhenya; Liu, Qi; Chen, Enhong; Yin, Yu; Ma, Jianhui; Wang, Shijin – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2023
To provide personalized support on educational platforms, it is crucial to model the evolution of students' knowledge states. Knowledge tracing is one of the most popular technologies for this purpose, and deep learning-based methods have achieved state-of-the-art performance. Compared to classical models, such as Bayesian knowledge tracing, which…

Zakariya, Yusuf Feyisara; Nilsen, Hans Kristian; Bjørkestøl, Kirsten; Goodchild, Simon – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
Approaches to learning have been identified as crucial factors that influence students' mathematics performance. However, there have been mixed findings on which of the different approaches improve performance in undergraduate mathematics. Thus, this study aimed to unravel the specific effects of prior mathematics knowledge and approaches to…
