Reider, Lori B.; Mahaffey, Elise M.; Barylski, Brian; LoBue, Vanessa – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Snakes and spiders are two of the most commonly feared animals worldwide, yet we know very little about the mechanisms by which such fears are acquired. We explored whether negative information about snakes and spiders from parents shapes children's fear beliefs. Study 1 included 27 parents (22 mothers, five fathers) and children (12 female, 15…

Caughman, Alicia M.; Weigel, Emily G. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2022
Quantitative and computational skills are required of 21st-century biologists. While biology student abilities and attitudes toward math have been studied extensively, less is known about corresponding attitudes toward computer science (CS). It is important to understand how students perceive math and CS subjects and whether those perceptions are…

Follmer, D. Jake; Clariana, Roy – Journal of Experimental Education, 2022
Learners' monitoring judgments during reading are based on a variety of cues, and the roles of task features in promoting and constraining judgment accuracy are beginning to be understood. This work examined task and item characteristics influencing adults' monitoring of performance during reading and study tasks. In Study 1a, adults (N = 242)…

Kushwaha, Tarun; Loya, Arpit; Jain, Prayatna; Kukrety, Deepti Bajpai – Marketing Education Review, 2022
Sales management students carry certain misconceptions about sales jobs, which often create confusion in their minds about the nature of the sales job- should they be customer-oriented or sales-oriented? To excel in the initial years of their careers as effective salespersons, students might emphasize sales-orientation or target achievement over…

Advance CTE: State Leaders Connecting Learning to Work, 2022
Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) refers to the various processes for recognizing and awarding credit for college-level learning gained outside the classroom. In December 2021, Advance CTE and Education Strategy Group convened the Credit for Prior Learning Shared Solutions Workgroup, whose members represented state postsecondary education agencies…

Lisa Marcinkowski June – ProQuest LLC, 2022
History museum professionals make many assumptions about how visitors learn at their sites but, for various reasons, they rarely do research to test those assumptions. The primary purpose of this study was to explore how adults learn in history museums to fill that gap in understanding. This research utilized a conceptual framework that combined…

Butler, Andrew C.; Black-Maier, Allison C.; Campbell, Kathryn; Marsh, Elizabeth J.; Persky, Adam M. – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2020
Students learn large amounts of information, but not all of it is remembered after courses end -- meaning that valuable class time is often spent reviewing background material. Crucially, laboratory research suggests different strategies will be effective when reactivating previously learned information (i.e. "marginal knowledge"), as…

Richards, A. J.; Jones, Darrick C.; Etkina, Eugenia – Research in Science Education, 2020
We use the framework of cognitive resources to investigate how students construct understanding of a complex physics topic, namely, a photovoltaic cell. By observing students as they learn about how a solar cell functions, we identified over 60 distinct resources that learners may activate while thinking about photovoltaic cells. We classify these…

Fahrenbach, Florian; Revoredo, Kate; Santoro, Flavia Maria – European Journal of Training and Development, 2020
Purpose: This paper aims to introduce an information and communication technology (ICT) artifact that uses text mining to support the innovative and standardized assessment of professional competences within the validation of prior learning (VPL). Assessment means comparing identified and documented professional competences against a standard or…

Loibl, Katharina; Tillema, Marcel; Rummel, Nikol; van Gog, Tamara – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2020
Research on productive failure suggests that attempting to solve a problem prior to instruction facilitates conceptual understanding compared to receiving instruction prior to problem solving. The assumptions are that during the problem-solving phase, students activate their prior knowledge, become aware of their knowledge gaps, and discover deep…

Iannacchione, Alisionna; Ottmar, Erin; Ngo, Vy; Mason, Craig A.; Chan, Jenny Yun-Chen; Smith, Hannah; Drzewiecki, Kathryn C.; Shaw, Stacy T. – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
Prior research has shown negative relations between math anxiety and math performance. We posit that one potential pathway through which math anxiety influences performance of math equivalencies is through help seeking behavior during learning. Here, we examine whether middle school students' behavior, specifically the frequency of hint requests,…

Pettigrew, Justin E.; Howes, Pauline A. – American Journal of Distance Education, 2023
This study examined university students' response to the sudden change from face-to-face to emergency remote education (ERE) and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their educational experience in spring 2020 through the lens of self-determination and adaptability. Results of a survey of 3,747 college students showed an overwhelming majority…

Berg, Stephanie A.; Moon, Alena – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2023
Both graph comprehension and data analysis and interpretation are influenced by one's prior knowledge and experiences. To understand how one's prior knowledge and experiences interact with their analysis of a graph, we conducted think-aloud interviews with general chemistry students as they interpreted a graph to determine optimal conditions for…
