Dunn, Catherine – School Science Review, 2018
Thermochromic paint can be made in the laboratory and used for temperature sensing by observation of colour changes. This can be illustrated by an improved method of showing comparative conductivity of heat by different materials, and an amusing method of indicating approximate temperatures of liquids in drinking glasses. The fabric Lycra, used to…

Welhausen, Candice A. – Journal of Technical Writing and Communication, 2018
This article proposes a heuristic that teachers and students can use together to create a vocabulary for discussing the aesthetic aspects of color and typography in document design work. By using this framework, teachers and students can generate a collection of shared "visual topoi" or commonplaces for describing the aesthetic value of…

Thysiadou, Anna; Gaki, Vaso – Journal of Technology and Science Education, 2021
The introduction of the computer into the educational process is a fact. The educational use of new technologies creates a new, more appealing and enjoyable learning environment. The introduction of new technologies into school differentiates the role of the professor by giving him/her a guiding character in a process of experiential approach to…

Spinelli, Giacomo; Lupker, Stephen J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
In the Stroop task, congruency effects (i.e., the color-naming latency difference between incongruent stimuli, e.g., the word BLUE written in the color red, and congruent stimuli, e.g., RED in red) are smaller in a list in which incongruent trials are frequent than in a list in which incongruent trials are infrequent. The traditional explanation…

Crutchfield, Jandel; Sparks, David; Williams, Maya; Findley, Erin – College Teaching, 2022
The Implicit Association Test (IAT) developed by Harvard University has been utilized in teacher preparation for cultural competence. Various versions of the IAT including race and gender based versions are used to raise awareness of student bias and its influences on teaching practice. Through a qualitative exploratory case study, this article…

Kosko, Karl W. – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2020
Developing multiplicative reasoning is an important milestone for elementary school students, which influences their learning of later mathematical concepts (Hackenberg and Tillema 2009). For children to conceptually understand multiplication, one should move beyond merely counting by ones to dealing with composites (twos, fives, etc.) and other…

Durwin, Cheryl C.; Moore, Dina – Reading Improvement, 2020
Three novel experiments investigated the effectiveness of color-coded word-families flashcards for facilitating kindergarteners' word recognition skills. Flashcards were constructed with the rime of the word family (vowel and remaining consonant sounds) printed in black ink, indicating that words with this spelling pattern sound the same, and the…

Carsley, Dana; Heath, Nancy L. – Journal of American College Health, 2020
Objective: This study compared the effectiveness of mindfulness coloring (mandala), free drawing/coloring, and a noncoloring control activity for university students' test anxiety, and assessed the relationship of dispositional mindfulness and response to intervention on mindfulness and test anxiety states. Participants: University students (n =…

Forbes, Samuel H.; Plunkett, Kim – Child Development, 2020
When and how do infants learn color words? It is generally supposed that color words are learned late and with a great deal of difficulty. By examining infant language surveys in British English and 11 other languages, this study shows that color word learning occurs earlier than has been previously suggested and that the order of acquisition of…

Karniol, Rachel – Journal of Early Childhood Research, 2020
Preschool children from Israeli, Jewish-Orthodox families with an average of four children per family drew their families. Three aspects of gender differentiation in children's drawings were assessed in relation to children's gender and number of siblings: size of figures, colour use, and inclusion of gender-associated characteristics. Size of…

Siqi Ning – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Language can alter our mental conceptions of space, time, and categories. While there is compelling evidence that thought can be shaped by syntactic, morphological, and lexical features of a language, less is known about the impact of phonology on thought. This dissertation uses novel objects (alien cartoon figures) and pseudoword names in three…

Lu, Yonggang; Zheng, Qiujie; Quinn, Daniel – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2023
We present an instructional approach to teaching causal inference using Bayesian networks and "do"-Calculus, which requires less prerequisite knowledge of statistics than existing approaches and can be consistently implemented in beginner to advanced levels courses. Moreover, this approach aims to address the central question in causal…

Rennie, Richard – Teaching Science, 2015
The Australian Curriculum: Science for Year 5 includes "recognising that the colour of an object depends on the properties of the object and the color of the light source". This article shows how much more can be done with color in the science laboratory. Activities include using a prism to explore white light, using a hand lens to…

Kuntzleman, Thomas S.; Bunker, Kasey R.; Bartlett, Ashlee A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
An experiment is described that uses easily obtained materials (glow sticks, chalk, and acetone or alcohol) to separate the dyes contained in glow sticks that actively emit chemiluminescent light. The experiment is very easy to carry out, making it amenable for students to perform in laboratory or outreach settings. The separation occurs fast…
