Saerys-Foy, Jeffrey E.; LoCasto, Paul C.; Burn, David; Ferranti, Daniella – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2022
According to theories of validation, people routinely check incoming information against prior knowledge during comprehension. On these theories, information is validated if it fits with prior knowledge. Some researchers argue that information needs to be successfully validated before being incorporated into the situation model. We report five…

Bråten, Ivar; Latini, Natalia; Haverkamp, Ymkje E. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2022
Using a path analytic approach with a sample of Norwegian undergraduate readers, we investigated the effects of behavioral engagement on text comprehension as reflected in students' post-reading written reports on the topic in question. Results indicated that the behavioral engagement components of writing time and the length of the written…

Campbell, Corbin M. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2022
Based on the largest multi-institutional observational study of undergraduate courses in the United States, this article describes exemplar teaching practices in engineering courses as an interdisciplinary science field. The College Educational Quality (CEQ) research project studied 587 courses in nine different U.S. colleges and universities.…

White, Dorothy Y. – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2022
Every student has mathematical strengths beyond knowing basic facts, solving problems quickly, or showing work clearly. In this article, the author presents Smiles as an "on-ramp" task that supports students working together by unveiling and leveraging mathematical strengths. Nielsen describes on-ramp mathematics tasks as scaffolds that…

Reid, Felicity; Davidson, Janis – Student Success, 2022
This article discusses a study that started from the premise that we can better support our students when we know who they are. The study used narrative analysis to explore reasons for success for undergraduate business students in a New Zealand university. Drawing on the work of Bourdieu and the concept of learning careers (Bloomer &…

Alsina, Ángel; Salgado, María – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
The aim of this study is to provide data to better understand the processes of early mathematical modelling. According to this, an early mathematical modelling activity carried out by 21 Spanish schoolchildren aged 5-6 years is analysed, using the validated tool "Rubric for the Evaluation of Mathematical Modelling Processes" (REMMP). The…

Coss, Sarah – Adult Learner: The Irish Journal of Adult and Community Education, 2022
This article explores the experiences of a group of women who having achieved success in education and returned to the adult learning environment again. A creative methodological approach allows the women to describe in their own words experiences of educational success and motivations to return to learning. Discussion points predominantly focus…

Knudsen, Lars Emmerik Damgaard; Gjessing, Eva – Learning Environments Research, 2022
Changes in learning environments are pivotal when schools and local organizations embark on educational partnerships. Local organisations offer specialized knowledge to schools and, as classes move out schools, the contribution of the physical setting is crucial and central to understand the didactical potential of learning outside school.…

Werth, Alexandra; Oliver, Kristin; West, Colin G.; Lewandowski, H. J. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
[This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Instructional labs: Improving traditions and new directions.] Over the last decade, course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) have been recognized as a way to improve undergraduate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education by engaging students in authentic research…

Sampaio, Cristina; Wang, Ranxiao Frances – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
People's expectations help them make judgments about the world. In the area of spatial memory, the interaction of existing knowledge with incoming information is best illustrated in the category effect, a bias in positioning a target toward the prototypical location of its region (Huttenlocher et al., 1991). According to Bayesian principles, these…

van der Graaf, Joep; Lim, Lyn; Fan, Yizhou; Kilgour, Jonathan; Moore, Johanna; Gaševic, Dragan; Bannert, Maria; Molenaar, Inge – Metacognition and Learning, 2022
Self-regulated learning (SRL) has been linked to improved learning and corresponding learning outcomes. However, there is a need for more precise insights into how SRL during learning contributes to specific learning outcomes. We operationalised four learning outcomes that varied on two dimensions: structure/connectedness and level/deepness of…

Klein-Collins, Rebecca; Framularo, Charles – Council for Adult and Experiential Learning, 2022
Previous research has shown that when adult students receive credit for their prior learning (CPL), they are more likely to complete credentials while saving time and money doing so. In addition, colleges and universities can also benefit from CPL: adult students who earn credit through CPL are more likely to persist toward completion, and so they…

Lamb, Deanna Marie – ProQuest LLC, 2022
A growing number of university graduates delay workforce entry to reverse transfer to a community college for additional training. This trend is common in 2-year physical therapist assistant (PTA) programs where over 34% of all PTA students have a prior earned bachelor's degree. The problem addressed in this study is that little research is…

Bell, Courtney; Phelps, Geoffrey; McCaffrey, Dan; Liu, Shuangshuang; Weren, Barbara; Glazer, Nancy; Forzani, Francesca – Wisconsin Center for Education Research, 2022
The recent turn toward core practices and practice-based teacher education has been accompanied by a growing literature on the definitions, pedagogies to teach, and assessments of core practices. Despite these developments, the field lacks core practices performance assessments designed to be used across course sections, courses, and subjects.…

Allison Liu; Jenny Yun-Chen Chan; Ji-Eun Lee; Lauren E. Decker-Woodrow; Shihfen Tu; Adam Sales; Craig A. Mason – Grantee Submission, 2022
The current study investigated how prior knowledge moderated the effects of three educational technologies ("From Here to There," "DragonBox 12+," and problem sets in "ASSISTments") on seventh-grade students' later algebraic knowledge. Pretest scores only moderated effects of "From Here to There," with…
