Horiguchi, Tomoya; Hirashima, Tsukasa; Hayashi, Yusuke – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2023
Background: In learning mechanics, students often believe that "force is exerted on moving objects." As this misconception called "motion implies a force" (MIF) is difficult to correct, various teaching methods have been proposed, such as showing refutational/explanatory text (Palmer & Flanagan, 1997; Takagaki, 2004),…

Within the last five years, more than two-thirds of the United States have passed state laws specific to dyslexia, yet there is very limited empirical research that investigates the voices of parents and/or caregivers (Woodcock, 2020). While the science of reading is at the forefront of conversation in education and legislation in Florida and…

Su, Man – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Integrating agent-based models (ABMs) has been a popular approach for teaching emergent science concepts. However, students continue to find it difficult to explain the emergent process of natural selection. This study adopted an ontological framework--the Pattern, Agents, Interactions, Relations, and Causality (PAIR-C)--to guide the design of…

Duslak, Mark P.; McGill, Craig M.; Seiden, Jesse – Journal of Further and Higher Education, 2023
Scholars have long debated an idealised conceptualisation of academic advising practice, while higher education administrators have shaped their own vision for its practice on college campuses, resulting in widespread ambiguity regarding its purpose and function. This study investigated how 181 chief academic officers at two year and four year…

Mauna S. Kareti; William J. Howitz – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Normal phase thin layer chromatography is a widely taught technique in undergraduate organic chemistry laboratory courses. To understand how the technique works, students must have a strong conceptual understanding of polarity and intermolecular forces. Unfortunately, many students have misconceptions regarding how polarity and intermolecular…

Vitthal T. Borkar – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
The simple demonstration presented, herein, involves the combustion of acetylene liberated from the rapid hydrolysis of 0.50 g of calcium carbide. The unsaturated hydrocarbon formed burns with a yellow sooty flame in air. This acetylene-air flame being visually attractive is often misused by those attempting to showcase their illusory magical…

Vlasceanu, Madalina; Coman, Alin – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2022
In a high-risk environment, such as during an epidemic, people are exposed to a large amount of information, both accurate and inaccurate. Following exposure, they typically discuss the information with each other. Here, we assess the effects of such conversations on beliefs. A sample of 126 M-Turk participants rated the accuracy of a set of…

Hoover, Wesley A.; Tunmer, William E. – Reading Research Quarterly, 2022
A recent article in this journal claims that the simple view of reading represents a long-outdated account of what underlies the ability to read. Its authors argue that if teachers are to be better informed about what is known about reading then the simple view must be replaced by a more current model, one that captures the substantial progress…

Žanko, Žana; Mladenovic, Monika; Krpan, Divna – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2022
Background and Context: Most studies about programming misconceptions are conducted at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Since the age level for starting learning programming is getting lower, there is a need for determining programming misconceptions for younger learners. Objective: Our goal is to determine programming misconceptions and…
