A worked-out or an open inventing problem with contrasting cases can prepare learners for learning from subsequent instruction differently regarding motivation and cognition. In addition, such activities potentially initiate different learning processes during the subsequent ("future") learning phase. In this experiment (N = 45…

There is a disconnect between neuroscience research on concept learning and representation (focusing on categories of concrete objects), and concept learning challenges in science education (which concern systems of causal relationships among objects and events). Bridging this gap will both inform theories of science learning and expand our…

When making memory predictions (judgments of learning; JOLs), people typically underestimate the recall gain across multiple study-test cycles, termed the underconfidence-with-practice (UWP) effect. This is usually studied with verbal materials, but little is known about how people repeatedly learn and monitor their own actions and to what extent…

Virtual and immersive virtual reality, VR and iVR, provide flexible and engaging learning opportunities, such as virtual field trips (VFTs). Despite its growing popularity for education, understanding how iVR compared to non-immersive media influences learning is still challenged by mixed empirical results and a lack of longitudinal research. This…

Integrating computational thinking into K-12 Education has been a widely explored topic in recent years. Particularly, effective assessment of computational thinking can support the understanding of how learners develop computational concepts and practices. Aiming to help advance research on this topic, we propose a data-driven approach to assess…

This paper presents empirical evidence on financial-stress (FSF) and educational-teaching (ETF) factors to students. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to identify whether these factors were related to each-other, as well as if they affected students' performance during online learning during the Cov19 pandemic. Correlation analysis…

New reforms in science education call for three-dimensional learning by integrating disciplinary core ideas, science and engineering practices, and "crosscutting concepts" (CCCs). These reforms defined the new term, crosscutting concept (CCC), as a lens that has explanatory power across disciplines. To describe how researchers are…

Currently, masses of studies on mathematics learning getting to know have been discovered in numerous literatures supported by the use of blended learning model. This meta-analysis study aims at determining the overall effect of using blended learning. This study analyses 36 effect sizes from ERIC documents, Google scholar, and repositories from…

Background: This paper examines ensemble learning in the context of ballet. We use more-than-representational theory to account for the "invisible" dimensions of ensemble learning, such as sensations, energy, or intensity that bodies sense, circulate, and evoke in others. We illuminate the mobile architectures that emerge in ensemble…

This paper argues that meaning-making with multimodal representations in science learning is always contextualized within a genre and, conversely, what constitutes an ongoing genre also depends on a multimodal coordination of speech, gesture, diagrams, symbols, and material objects. In social semiotics, a genre is a culturally evolved way of doing…

To encourage growth in instructional practice, the authors describe various formats, plans, and scheduling options for mathematics coaches and other stakeholders to consider when determining effective ways to enhance the teaching and learning of mathematics.

The basic design course mainly focuses on training students in their form development ability, including two parts: graphic figure and three-dimensional form. However, in terms of form development, it is not just to create a certain form arbitrarily, but to convey the creator's intention based on this form. For students who are new to the field of…

Social media have influenced millennials of "ulama" or Muslim scholars in "fatwa" production. They access and use online knowledge to make daily "fatwa" according to community requests. However, limited is known about how the millennial "ulama" acquire and use the knowledge. We carried out an interpretive…

This paper proposes a multilayered methodology for analyzing distance learning students' data to gain insight into the learning progress of the student subjects both in an individual basis and as members of a learning community during the course taking process. The communication aspect is of high importance in educational research. Additionally,…

Emerging scientific knowledge such as the role of epigenetics and neuroplasticity--the brain's capability to constantly rewire with every action, experience, and thought--is fundamentally changing our understanding of the potential impact we can have on our brain. Our brain is formed by our habits in interaction with our body, the environment,…
