Alejandra Ruiz-Segura; Andrew Law; Sion Jennings; Alain Bourgon; Ethan Churchill; Susanne Lajoie – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: Flying accuracy is influenced by pilots' affective reactions to task demands. A better understanding of task-related emotions and flying performance is needed to enhance pilot training. Objective: Understand pilot trainees' performance and emotional dynamics (intensity, frequency and variability) based on training phase and difficulty…

Enhancing Teaching Effectiveness in Biochemistry Labs: Author Reflections and Improvement Strategies
Maurizio Costabile; Bradley Simpson; Jasmina Turkanovic; Bernard P. Hughes – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
This article details the outcome of a joint reflective approach undertaken by the authors to identify common difficulties experienced by 2nd-year undergraduate Biochemistry students in laboratory classes. Difficulties experienced in laboratories can affect the development of hand skills, an understanding of how to correctly operate laboratory…

Hung-Tao M. Chen; Katelyn L. McClure; Thomas W. Morris – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2024
Picture-in-Picture (PIP) is an effective lecture video design that includes a screen capture video in the center and the instructor's talking head in one corner. Few research studies have directly investigated the usage of PIP lecture design by non-native English-speaking (NNES) instructors. The current study investigated the effects of PIP…

Mary Jane Brundage; David E. Meltzer; Chandralekha Singh – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
We use the Survey of Thermodynamic Processes and First and Second Laws-Long (STPFaSL-Long), a research-based survey instrument with 78 items at the level of introductory physics, to investigate introductory and advanced students' difficulties with entropy and the second law of thermodynamics. We present an analysis of data from 12 different…

Feyza Kurban – Problems of Education in the 21st Century, 2024
This study explores how pre-service mathematics teachers' spatial visualisation skills evolved during a Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) based education. The study used the qualitative theory-testing case study method, which guided the identification of participants, the design of technology-supported education, and the data collection and analysis…

Hojung Kim; Changkyung Song; Jiyoung Kim; Hyeyun Jeong; Jisoo Park – Language Testing in Asia, 2024
This study presents a modified version of the Korean Elicited Imitation (EI) test, designed to resemble natural spoken language, and validates its reliability as a measure of proficiency. The study assesses the correlation between average test scores and Test of Proficiency in Korean (TOPIK) levels, examining score distributions among beginner,…

Brechtje E. J. van Zeijts; Lesya Y. Ganushchak; Bjorn B. de Koning; Huib K. Tabbers – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
Inference-making is a central element of successful reading comprehension, yet provides a challenge for beginning readers. Text decoding takes up cognitive resources which prevents beginning readers from successful inference-making and compromises reading comprehension. Listening does not require any decoding and could therefore offer a less…

Chen Cheng; Jiuqing Tang; Xiao Liang; Zhengjun Wang; Jay G. Rueckl; Jingjing Zhao – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
It has been widely accepted that developmental dyslexia (DD) exhibits deficits in reading and spelling. However, the role of phonology and semantics in reading and spelling in dyslexia has not been systematically investigated. In Experiment 1, 45 Chinese children with DD and 43 age-matched controls read two tests with Chinese characters. One test…

Kristopher C. Bertoglio – ProQuest LLC, 2024
This dissertation applies cognitive load theory to teacher working conditions in New York City. To connect small-scale cognitive processes with perennial organization-level effects, the theoretical components of this paper develop a novel framework. Load reduction leadership (LRL) illuminates how day-to-day school operations impact staff members'…

Shirong Zhang; Bjorn B. de Koning; Fred Paas – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2024
The split-attention effect posits that learning outcomes are negatively impacted when interrelated text and graphics are spatially segregated rather than cohesively integrated. This study explored how the instructional material's presentation size influences the manifestation of the split-attention effect. Based on cognitive load theory and…

Zeynep Güler; Burcu Güngör Cabbar; Sami Özgür – Journal of Science Learning, 2024
This study aims to determine those topics and concepts that biology and science teacher candidates find most challenging to learn in biology lessons. A qualitative case study research method was used to this end. A total of 132 science and biology teacher candidates studying at a state university were asked to write down the ten subjects or…

Derek N. Canning; Stuart McLean; Joseph P. Vitta – Studies in Second Language Learning and Teaching, 2024
Recent studies have shown that the frequency effect, although long used as a guide to word difficulty, fails to explain all variance in learner word knowledge. As such, a "more than frequency" conclusion has been offered to explain how lexical sophistication accounts for word difficulty. This study presents a multiple regression model of…

Efeoglu, Ebru; Tuna, Ayse – Journal of Learning and Teaching in Digital Age, 2023
Usage of complex words causes significant problems not only in reading but in writing as well and eventually leads to poor academic achievement of students, poorer particularly for hearing impaired children. The dual diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and hearing impairment pose additional challenges mainly due to the difficulties that…

Chang, Minyu; Brainerd, C. J. – Metacognition and Learning, 2023
Making judgments of learning (JOLs) can sometimes modify subsequent memory performance, which is referred to as JOL reactivity. We evaluated two major theoretical explanations of JOL reactivity and used the dual-retrieval model to pinpoint the retrieval processes that are modified by JOLs. The changed-goal hypothesis assumes that JOLs highlight…

Chen, Xuqian; Wei, Ziqian; Li, Ziteng; Clariana, Roy B. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2023
How does conceptual structure of external representations contribute to learning? This investigation considered the influence of generative concept sorting and of external structure information moderated by perceived difficulty. In Study 1, undergraduate students completed a perceived difficulty survey and comprehension pretest, then a sorting…
