Lahza, Hatim; Smith, Tammy G.; Khosravi, Hassan – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2023
Traditional item analyses such as classical test theory (CTT) use exam-taker responses to assessment items to approximate their difficulty and discrimination. The increased adoption by educational institutions of electronic assessment platforms (EAPs) provides new avenues for assessment analytics by capturing detailed logs of an exam-taker's…

Farkish, Araz; Bosaghzadeh, Alireza; Amiri, S. Hamid; Ebrahimpour, Reza – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
Educational multimedia has proven to be an effective and efficient way of learning. Designers strive to produce multimedia that convey concepts most efficiently. That is to design multimedia that imposes the least possible cognitive load on the learner. Mayer's multimedia design principles are well-known, and multiple pieces of research have…

Ober, Teresa M.; Lu, Yikai; Blacklock, Chessley B.; Liu, Cheng; Cheng, Ying – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2023
We develop and validate a self-report measure of intrinsic and extrinsic cognitive load suitable for measuring the constructs in a variety of learning contexts. Data were collected from three independent samples of college students in the U.S. (N[subscript total]= 513; M[subscript age]= 21.13 years). Kane's (2013) framework was used to validate…

Kienitz, Anna; Krebs, Marie-Christin; Eitel, Alexander – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
Previous research often revealed detrimental effects of seductive details on learning with multimedia instruction, but there are mixed findings regarding how to best explain these detrimental effects. We investigated whether the detrimental effects of seductive details are mainly mediated by the cognitive processes of diversion (deeper processing…

Song, Ningyuan; Chen, Kejun; Jin, Xiufang; Zhao, Yuehua – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2023
Background: In the digital environment, users' academic reading behaviour has changed, working with many articles simultaneously to search, filter, scan, link, annotate and analyse content fragments. The semantic enhancement environment has been widely set with semantic technologies to offer additional and handy support for users and thus…

Costley, Jamie; Lange, Christopher – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
The use of e-learning personalization allows learners to control their learning by choosing which content to process and how to process it. In order to explain the processes that occur when students use e-learning personalization, this study looks at how it interacts with two other variables: sequencing and fading, a scaffolding technique where…

Hildebrand, Lindsey; Posid, Tasha; Moss-Racusin, Corinne A.; Hymes, Laura; Cordes, Sara – Developmental Science, 2023
As early as age six, girls report higher math anxiety than boys, and children of both genders begin to endorse the stereotype that males are better at math than females. However, very few studies have examined the emergence of math attitudes in childhood, or the role parents may play in their transmission. The present study is the first to…

Kang, Sangmi – Journal of Research in Music Education, 2023
The purpose of this study was to examine music teachers' experiences with flow while performing and teaching music. A model with four flow antecedents (Challenge, Skills, Goal Clarity, and Feedback) and three dimensions of flow state (Absorption, Enjoyment, and Intrinsic Motivation) was adopted to investigate music teachers' flow experiences in…

Wang, Tingting; Li, Shan; Huang, Xiaoshan; Pan, Zexuan; Lajoie, Susanne P. – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
Students process qualitatively and quantitatively different information during the dynamic self-regulated learning (SRL) process, and thus they may experience varying cognitive load in different SRL behaviors. However, there is limited research on the role of cognitive load in SRL. This study examined students' cognitive load in micro-level SRL…

Deghedi, Ghada Ahmed – International Journal of Game-Based Learning, 2023
Game-based learning has proven to be an effective teaching method in a variety of fields, including supply chain management (SCM). This paper discusses the use of simulation-based business games for training and education in SCM by evaluating the complexity of SCM games. The main contributions of this study are twofold. (1) Creation of a database…

Nadire Emel Akhan; Serpil Demirezen; Samet Çiçek – SAGE Open, 2023
The aim of this research is to provide an applied example that serves as a guide to social studies classrooms and directly supports the teachers who implement it, specifically for the social studies lesson. In the research planned as an action research, a group of 27 7th-grade students from a middle school was selected as the study group, and…

Stacie M. Shanks – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Sixty percent of college freshmen entering American colleges and universities were unprepared for college level discussion and analytical skills. Though the many researchers I detailed in the literature review showed how effective the use of controversial or difficult topics in the classroom as a means for civil discourse was for imparting the…

Fellinghauer, Carolina; Debelak, Rudolf; Strobl, Carolin – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2023
This simulation study investigated to what extent departures from construct similarity as well as differences in the difficulty and targeting of scales impact the score transformation when scales are equated by means of concurrent calibration using the partial credit model with a common person design. Practical implications of the simulation…

Chi Dat Lam – ProQuest LLC, 2023
In everyday life, humans rely on working memory (WM) processes to make sense of relationships between linguistic elements that are not linearly adjacent. For example, to understand the sentence "The dog that the cat chased is cute," we encode the referent "the dog" into WM, maintain and retrieve it after reading the verb…

Johan Roeland – Teaching Theology & Religion, 2023
Much knowledge production, both academic and non-academic, is driven by a need to simplify the world in order to enable people to navigate the complexities of everyday life. Such simplifications not only risk offering less reliable representations of the world, they can also turn into disruptive and harmful images of the world. In this article,…
