Lara Nieto-Márquez, Natalia; Baldominos, Alejandro; Pérez-Nieto, Miguel Ángel – Education Sciences, 2020
Metacognition is a construct that is noteworthy for its relationship with the prediction and enhancement of student performance. It is of interest in education, as well as in the field of cognitive psychology, because it contributes to competencies, such as learning to learn and the understanding of information. This study conducted research at a…

Kemper, Lorenz; Vorhoff, Gerrit; Wigger, Berthold U. – European Journal of Higher Education, 2020
We perform two approaches of machine learning, logistic regressions and decision trees, to predict student dropout at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). The models are computed on the basis of examination data, i.e. data available at all universities without the need of specific collection. Therefore, we propose a methodical approach…

Georgiou, George K.; Torppa, Minna; Landerl, Karin; Desrochers, Alain; Manolitsis, George; de Jong, Peter F.; Parrila, Rauno – Child Development, 2020
We examined the cross-lagged relations between reading and spelling in five alphabetic orthographies varying in consistency (English, French, Dutch, German, and Greek). Nine hundred and forty-one children were followed from Grade 1 to Grade 2 and were tested on word and pseudoword reading fluency and on spelling to dictation. Results indicated…

Russell, Mia B.; Liggans, Girvin L. – Journal of Extension, 2020
We conducted a cross-sectional study grounded in job demands--resources theory to examine the relationship between job characteristics and burnout across Extension disciplines. Job demands predicted burnout regardless of discipline; however, job resources predicted burnout for only three of the five disciplines studied--agriculture, family and…

Li, Hang; Ding, Wenbiao; Liu, Zitao – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2020
With the rapid emergence of K-12 online learning platforms, a new era of education has been opened up. It is crucial to have a dropout warning framework to preemptively identify K-12 students who are at risk of dropping out of the online courses. Prior researchers have focused on predicting dropout in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), which…

Yanina Prystauka – ProQuest LLC, 2020
The representational product of sentence comprehension is the result of the interplay between episodic and semantic memory and our knowledge of the grammatical devices of our language which guide how we retrieve information from these systems. Past participles, being a part of speech derived from verbs but used in a prenominal position (e.g. words…

Catarina Vales; Patience Stevens; Anna V. Fisher – Grantee Submission, 2020
Organized semantic representations encoding across- and within-domain distinctions are a hallmark of mature cognition, and understanding how they change with experience and learning is a key endeavor in developmental science. Existing computational modeling studies provide a mechanistic framework for understanding how structured semantic…

Blake A. Colaianne; Brian M. Galla; Robert W. Roeser – Grantee Submission, 2020
The purpose of this study was to examine how student perceptions of mindful teaching are associated with changes in students' mindfulness, self-compassion, and compassion for others across a single high school year. We hypothesized two pathways of effect: a direct path whereby when high school students perceive their teachers as demonstrating…

Background: Recent evidence suggests that early exposure to low maternal sensitivity is a risk factor for obesity in children and adolescents. A separate line of study shows that the seven-repeat (7R) allele of the dopamine-4 receptor gene (DRD4) increases susceptibility to environmental factors including maternal sensitivity. The current study…

Vecchi, Eva M.; Marelli, Marco; Zamparelli, Roberto; Baroni, Marco – Cognitive Science, 2017
"Sophisticated senator" and "legislative onion." Whether or not you have ever heard of these things, we all have some intuition that one of them makes much less sense than the other. In this paper, we introduce a large dataset of human judgments about novel adjective-noun phrases. We use these data to test an approach to…

Haarhuis, Carolien Maria Klein; Smit, Monika – Evidence & Policy: A Journal of Research, Debate and Practice, 2017
Ex ante research can contribute to evidence-informed policies. In this article, we explore numbers and types of ex ante studies as well as their use. First, we took stock of a potentially wide range of ex ante studies published by the Dutch government between 2005 and 2011, applying a systematic approach. Though unevenly distributed across…

Anderson, Eleanor R. – American Educational Research Journal, 2017
Asking practitioners to make larger changes to their practice is often thought to lead to lower fidelity of implementation. However, salient differences between ambitious new reforms and teachers' existing practices may also facilitate processes of conceptual change and correspondingly increase fidelity of implementation. I use survey data on the…
