Caulfield, Mike – Project Information Literacy, 2021
In the academic imagination, depth and attention are the highest of virtues. But in pushing students to apply high-attention strategies to all incoming information, there is a risk of creating a new and dangerous shallowness. The author begins this article by talking about real-world decision-making. Looking at the structure of decisions can…

Sofía Judith Garófalo; Lydia Galagovsky; Manuel Alonso – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
In this work extensive misconceptions of university students'--from nutrition area--about the metabolism of carbohydrates (CHM) in the human organism have been documented. The results lead to consider their difficulties concerning the learning of a complex set of imbricated biochemical models involved. Pursuant to these considerations, three…

Nikola Synak; Nikola Šabíková; Radomír Masaryk – Science & Education, 2024
Studies consistently show the social impact of spreading epistemologically unfounded beliefs (or 'conspiracy beliefs'), including negative effects on public health. The present study identified correlations among epistemologically unfounded beliefs, authoritarianism, and scientific literacy in a representative sample of 303 Slovak secondary school…

The ability to recognize and correct errors in one's explanatory understanding is critically important for learning. However, little is known about the mechanisms that determine when and under what circumstances errors are detected and how they are corrected. The present study investigated thought experiments as a potential tool that can reveal…

Matthew R. Ferguson – International Journal of Leadership in Education, 2024
Internationalization is a key development strategy for universities in Thailand. This has meant a surge in international program offerings and the establishment of international colleges on many campuses. However, what distinguishes an International Education (IE) in the Thai context is a tricky question. Most often, it is described by what it is…

Riikka Eronen; Laura Helle; Tuire Palonen; Henny P. A. Boshuizen – Vocations and Learning, 2024
When teaching infection prevention and control (IPC), nursing education tends to focus on skills and fostering good practice rather than challenging students' thinking. Therefore, students' misconceptions about IPC receive less attention than they deserve. The purpose of the study was to make an inventory of student nurses' misconceptions about…

Elien Sijmkens; Nico Scheerlinck; Mieke De Cock; Johan Deprez – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
Differential equations are an important mathematical concept used to model processes in many disciplines. However, the literature shows that students experience many difficulties when studying this topic. We investigate the effect of using context while teaching differential equations on engineering students' ability to construct and interpret…

Mika Okabe – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2024
Education about catastrophes often begins with, and at times even focuses on, passing down catastrophe memories. For this education, catastrophe memories that are unique to the survivors must be translated carefully to ensure that they can be understood by successors who may not have experienced a catastrophe themselves. This study elaborates on…

Robert J. Sternberg – Gifted Education International, 2024
Giftedness is typically thought of as an individual characteristic. But the development and labeling of an individual as "gifted" is always a collective process and takes place embedded within local, sociocultural, and temporal contexts. The view of giftedness as individual is deceptive and results in faulty practice, such as the…

Vincent Denault – International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), 2024
Despite decades of research and thousands of peer-reviewed articles on nonverbal communication written by a worldwide community of academics, a number of people in position of power, including security, justice and legal practitioners have embraced "body language" pseudoscience. This autoethnography aims to offer an otherwise…

Marissa E. Thompson; Sam Trejo – Sociology of Education, 2024
U.S. public schools are increasingly segregated by income, resulting in substantial educational inequality among U.S. schoolchildren.

Sabrina Barakat – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Resonance is a fundamental chemistry concept first introduced to students in General Chemistry I, reintroduced in Organic Chemistry I, and then utilized throughout other higher-level chemistry courses. A molecule or ion can be said to exhibit resonance when it can be represented by two or more chemical structures (i.e., Lewis structures) that…

Akila Nallabelli; Heidi L. Lujan; Stephen E. DiCarlo – Advances in Physiology Education, 2024
The movement of air into and out of the lungs is facilitated by changes in pressure within the thoracic cavity relative to atmospheric pressure, as well as the resistance encountered by airways. In this process, the movement of air into and out of the lungs is driven by pressure gradients established by changes in lung volume and intra-alveolar…

Ines Deibl; Ines Zeitlhofer; Anna Geroldinger; Jörg Zumbach – Psychology Learning and Teaching, 2024
Recent research has shown a growing interest in myths about teaching and learning and their prevalence among different populations. However, little is known about the extent to which these myths are prevalent among high school students. Future research must focus on methods that best support dispelling these myths to promote high school students…
