Laurie-Anne Sapey-Triomphe; Gaëtan Sanchez; Marie-Anne Hénaff; Sandrine Sonié; Christina Schmitz; Jérémie Mattout – npj Science of Learning, 2023
Predictive coding theories suggest that core symptoms in autism spectrum disorders (ASD) may stem from atypical mechanisms of perceptual inference (i.e., inferring the hidden causes of sensations). Specifically, there would be an imbalance in the precision or weight ascribed to sensory inputs relative to prior expectations. Using three tactile…

Nicole Panorkou; Toni York; Erell Germia – Cognition and Instruction, 2024
In this paper we discuss the types of knowledge used by six middle school students as they engaged with a debugging task designed to integrate ideas from computer science, mathematics and science. Our findings show that the computational thinking practice of debugging is a rich source of opportunities to integrate these different disciplines. The…

Yasmin Barselai-Shaham; Meir Yaish – Journal of Vocational Education and Training, 2024
As part of the efforts of higher education to reach additional audiences, this study deals with an alternative non-traditional pathway that leads to higher academic education. This alternative, the stackable credentials pathway, uses short-cycle tertiary VET as a way to an academic degree. The study describes the extent of users of the pathway in…

Jeffrey Nordine; Marcus Kubsch; David Fortus; Joseph Krajcik; Knut Neumann – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2024
One reason for the widespread use of the energy concept across the sciences is that energy analysis can be used to interpret the behavior of systems even if one does not know the particular mechanisms that underlie the observed behavior. By providing an approach to interpreting unfamiliar phenomena, energy provides a lens on phenomena that can set…

Yong Ju Jung; Heather Toomey Zimmerman – Cognition and Instruction, 2024
Children's multiple interests intersect with their participation in informal learning practices in dynamic ways. Using a theoretical framework illustrating interest as a multifaceted construct that has different forms and a range of scope and durability, this study investigates how children's situational interests and individual interests are…

Gitit Kavé; Maayan Sayag; Mira Goral – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
Previous research has demonstrated conflicting findings concerning orthographic access in older age. The current study examines whether older adults rely more heavily on stored knowledge while spelling, through testing of word concreteness. Forty-one younger (age 20-29), 41 middle age (age 45-55), and 40 healthy older adults (age 70-80) spelled 60…

Lee Fergusson – Research in Post-Compulsory Education, 2024
In work-based learning (WBL), autodidactic, informal, nonformal, and formal approaches to learning are viewed not as dichotomous, distinct, or divergent spheres along a continuum but as intersected and clustered spheres. In WBL, prior learning, professional development, advanced standing, and other forms of learning are therefore formally…

Transfer student capital encompasses the knowledge, skills, and experiences that transfer students acquire before transitioning to a new institution from their previous ones, communities, and cultures. This capital plays a crucial role in shaping their academic and social transition, identity development, and overall success in the new…

Katharina Kirsten; Gilbert Greefrath – International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education, 2024
Due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, new instructional designs for mathematics courses have recently been developed. Unlike traditional e-learning courses, distance learning via videoconferencing contains more synchronous elements and is therefore more closely related to classroom instruction. Since theories of person-environment fit suggest…

Shahna Arps; Krista McCarthy Noviski; Lauren Tucker; Ameisha Tutwiler – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2024
In this study, we examine students' reasons for pursuing elective training focused on medical racism and systemic health inequities at a midwestern medical school. Data collection included semi-structured interviews with students who participated in an optional course focused on these topics. We analyzed their motivations, goals, and interests…

Pankaj Chavan; Ritayan Mitra; Abhinav Sarkar; Aditya Panwar – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2024
The use of Experience Sampling Methods (ESM) to assess students' experiences, motivation, and emotions by sending signals to students at random or fixed time points has grown due to recent technological advances. Such methods offer several advantages, such as capturing the construct in the moment (i.e., when the events are fresh on respondents'…

Kari Lynn Waller – ProQuest LLC, 2024
The purpose of this quasi-experimental quantitative study was to investigate the potential effect that blended learning has on student achievement in high school math. The theoretical framework used for this study was constructivism theory. The constructivism theory focuses on the idea that learning is a process where students build new knowledge…

Madhumita Banerjee; Han Zhang – Journal of Educators Online, 2024
This study uses a logistic regression model to analyze survey data (n = 341) and predict factors influencing online course success for underserved and academically at-risk undergraduate students at a small, broad access, four-year, public Midwestern university. Three blocks of predictor variables, demographic (first generation, low income,…

Fan Xu; Ana-Paula Correia – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 2024
As online learning has become an inevitable trend in the post-peak era of the COVID-19 pandemic, distributed pair programming (DPP) is gaining momentum in both education and industry. DDP serves as a collaborative programming approach and also benefits the development of computational thinking, a fundamental skill in today's world. This study…
