Yujie Zhang; Lawrence Jun Zhang – TESOL Quarterly: A Journal for Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages and of Standard English as a Second Dialect, 2025
Syntactic complexity has long been used to gauge language learners' performance, proficiency, and development, offering language teachers valid recommendations for syllabus design and materials development. Progress in syntactic complexity research foreshadows the imperative of measuring syntactic features at a high level of granularity, which…

Kirsten Brunner; Andreas Obersteiner; Timo Leuders – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2024
Teachers' ability to accurately judge difficulties of mathematical tasks is an essential aspect of their diagnostic competencies. Although research has suggested that pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) is positively correlated with the accuracy of diagnostic judgments, experimental studies have not been conducted to investigate how PCK affects…

Tamara Cumming; S. Richardson; Megan Gibson; Kim Crisp; Linda J. Harrison; Frances Press; Sandie Wong – Early Years: An International Journal of Research and Development, 2024
Researchers of early childhood educators' practice have noted the usefulness of applying various conceptual and methodological resources to create accounts of complexity. This article contributes to an under-researched area, providing evidence of multi-tasking and task rotation as aspects of the complexity of early childhood educators' practice.…

Natalie Toomey; Misook Heo – Learning: Research and Practice, 2024
This research examined how spatial ability, sex, and cognitive styles associate with self-directed multimedia resource use (study 1) and learning outcomes (study 2). In study 1, three learning resource options were offered: two unimodal (text-only and labelled-picture) and one multimodal (picture-with-narration). Findings revealed that lower…

Kathryn Mathwin; Christine Chapparo; Julianne Challita; Joanne Hinitt – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
The objective for beginning writers is to learn how to generate alphabet-letters which are recognisable and easy to read. This study investigated the accuracy of Year 1 and 2 children's alphabet-letter-writing by evaluating their alphabet and orthographic knowledge, following evidence which identifies these skills as important for correctly…

Gabriel J. Stylianides; Andreas J. Stylianides – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2024
Although the notion of "assumptions" is important in mathematical activity as early as the elementary school, there is limited research on how to help elementary teachers develop "mathematical knowledge for teaching" related to assumptions. In this paper, we discuss the theoretical foundation and implementation of an…

Yuewen Zhang; Zhenhong Wang – Developmental Science, 2024
Intra-individual response time variability (IIRTV) during cognitive performance is increasingly recognized as an important indicator of attentional control (AC) and related brain region function. However, what determinants contribute to preschoolers' IIRTV received little attention. The present study explored the interaction of dopaminergic…

George Kalmpourtzis; Margarida Romero – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Taking into account the profound impact of technology on modern education, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, increasing academic interest has focused towards the design and application of such tools on different learning contexts. A specific area of Human-Computer Interaction, called affordance theory, focuses on the perception, design and…

Miriam J. Knoef; Adrie J. Visscher; Hanno van Keulen; Martine A. R. Gijsel – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2024
Integrated language arts and science & technology (ILS&T) instruction can make learning more meaningful and improve student learning outcomes for both subjects. Although the literature has stressed that such integrated instruction presents pedagogical challenges for elementary school teachers, little is yet known about the specific…

Justin F. Landy; Alexander D. Perry – Cognitive Science, 2024
Evaluating other people's moral character is a crucial social cognitive task. However, the cognitive processes by which people seek out, prioritize, and integrate multiple pieces of character-relevant information have not been studied empirically. The first aim of this research was to examine which character traits are considered most important…

Joanne Mulligan; Russell Tytler; Vaughan Prain; Melinda Kirk – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2024
This paper illustrates how years 1 and 2 students were guided to engage in data modelling and statistical reasoning through interdisciplinary mathematics and science investigations drawn from an Australian 3-year longitudinal study: "Interdisciplinary Mathematics and Science Learning" (https://imslearning.org/). The project developed…

Alaa Al-Maani; Bara'ah AlAbabneh; Bassil Mashaqba; Anas Huneety – Eurasian Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2024
Language Learning Strategies (LLSs) assist learners to develop cognitive or behavioral competences to make the language learning process more self-directed and effective. In the current educational contexts, think-aloud methods are used to provide insights into the cognitive processes of individuals as they engage in enhancement of skills and…

Judith Canner; Jennifer E. Clinkenbeard – Numeracy, 2024
The idea of "threshold concepts" has been used to identify discipline-based concepts that are critical to that academic area. Threshold concepts are often difficult for students to assimilate in a meaningful way but, once done, can be powerful for the learner. In general, threshold concepts are 1) transformative to learner thinking; 2)…

Juanjuan Chen; Minhong Wang; Tina A. Grotzer; Chris Dede – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: In scientific inquiry learning, students often have difficulties conducting hypothetical reasoning with multiple intertwined variables. Concept maps have a potential to facilitate complex thinking and reasoning. However, there is little investigation into the content of student-constructed concept maps and its association with inquiry…

Golnoosh Golmohammadi; Farhad Sakhai; Faezeh Asadollahpour; Kiana Nouhi; Naemeh Jafari; Zahra Baghejari – First Language, 2024
This study aimed to adapt and validate the Word Complexity Measure (WCM) for Persian-speaking toddlers. The WCM is a tool for assessing phonological complexity, originally proposed by Stoel-Gammon. The study was conducted in two phases: (1) adapting the WCM parameters to the Persian language and (2) conducting a validation study with 60…
