Beth A. Lindsey; Andrew Boudreaux; Drew J. Rosen; MacKenzie R. Stetzer; Mila Kryjevskaia – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
In this study, we have explored the effectiveness of two instructional approaches in the context of the motion of objects falling at terminal speed in the presence of air resistance. We ground these instructional approaches in dual-process theories of reasoning, which assert that human cognition relies on two thinking processes. Dual-process…

Helen Engemann – Journal of Child Language, 2024
Previous research on the L1 acquisition of motion event expression suggests that mapping multiple semantic components onto syntactic units is associated with greater difficulties in verb-framed than in satellite-framed languages, because the former require more complex structures (using subordination). This study investigated the impact of this…

Kathleen B. Aspiranti; Ella Schoenen; David M. Hulac – Journal of Applied School Psychology, 2024
Research on the effectiveness of fidget spinner use in the classroom to increase academic performance and behavior has had mixed results, with no studies evaluating the use of fidget spinners on reading performance. The current study examined the effects of using a fidget spinner on Aimsweb oral reading fluency probes for 66 students in the 3rd…

Jamie Heng-Chieh Wu; Hope O. Akaeze; Laurie A. Van Egeren – Dimensions of Early Childhood, 2024
The need for valid and reliable ways to assess developmental outcomes of preschool children becomes continually more acute as public investments in preschool education grow, with corresponding pressure for programs to demonstrate their ability to influence child outcomes. The authors conducted studies of one assessment widely used in Head Start…

O'Brien, Wesley; Philpott, Conor; Lester, Diarmuid; Belton, Sarahjane; Duncan, Michael J.; Donovan, Brian; Chambers, Fiona; Utesch, Till – Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy, 2023
Background: The meaningful assessment of motor competence is well positioned for school-based curricular emphasis, through the integration of motor skills and movement patterns in both primary, and second level school physical education. Aligned with the growing interest in holistic motor competence assessment in physical education, the aim of…

Suppalarkbunlue, Warabud; Chutabhakdikul, Nuanchan; Lertladaluck, Kanda; Moriguchi, Yusuke – Journal of Research in Childhood Education, 2023
Executive function (EF) is an early cognitive skill that rapidly develops during the preschool years. One of the common EF issues in young children is inhibitory control. This study investigates the impact of music-movement activities on children's inhibitory control. We designed the music-movement training (MMT) program for preschoolers to…

Galili, Igal; Goren, Ehud – Science & Education, 2023
Regular disciplinary instruction of introductory physics at high school often misses a holistic perspective of the subject matter, its structure, and hierarchy. We have considered the domain of classical mechanics as taught at school and provided such a perspective in the form of a summative lecture which frames content in the triadic structure…

Vivo, Deborah R. – Journal of Educational Research, 2023
Enactive education is an innovative model based on embodied cognition. This quasi-experimental controlled study with pretest-posttest design investigated the effects of an online enactive school program on students' learning, academic self-concept, and physical self-concept. The study was conducted in three secondary schools in Salerno and…

Mohammad, Mona; Boushehry, Heyam Reda – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
This study aimed to measure the effects of video media on kindergarten children basic movement skills. Educators use many strategies to assist their children in acquiring basic movement skills in kindergartens; The style of teaching encompasses the style of guided discovery, with a component and entire method approach supported by visual medias.…

Carone, Delaney; Perkins, Ashley; Scott, Catherine – Science and Children, 2023
This lesson focuses specifically on teaching concepts of speed and its impact on energy, as well as providing a basic introduction to potential and kinetic energy to fourth-grade students. "Next Generation Science Standards" ("NGSS") 4-PS3-1 states that students should be able "to use evidence to construct an explanation…

Yara Aljahlan; Tammie J. Spaulding – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: This study investigated the attentional tendencies of preschool children with developmental language disorder (DLD) and their typical language (TL) peers during a word learning task to examine what visual properties of novel objects capture their attention. Method: Twelve children with DLD and 12 children with TL completed a novel name…

Daffron, John A.; Greenslade, Thomas B., Jr. – Physics Teacher, 2018
Lissajous figures, and other harmonic curves, straddle the line between physics and art. The sight of a harmonograph tracing out its curves in the Amherst College physics library in 1957 was certainly one of the things that drew young Tom Greenslade into physics and inspired a career-long appreciation of them.

Ha, Sangwoo; Kim, Minchul – Science & Education, 2020
Experiment is understood as a core activity in science education as well as science in general. Despite many efforts to improve science education in the laboratory, a cookbook style of verification experiments often dominate school science. In this study, we conducted an open laboratory activity that provided students with an opportunity to think…

Risk Mora, David Yamil; Durango Idarraga, Sebastian; Cardenas Montoya, Paulo Cesar – Physics Education, 2020
Collisions are a key topic in physics and engineering education. An experiment with multiple body one-dimensional collisions is presented, aiming to measure relevant physical quantities by tracking the motion of the system of particles during the collision. Relations between different physical quantities can be explored in the experiment, such as…

Rinaldi, R. Gustav; Fauzi, Ahmad – Physics Education, 2020
The recent works of oscillators are mainly focused on underdamped oscillation. Therefore, the writer proposes an experimental apparatus to demonstrate all types of damped harmonic oscillation. The apparatus utilizes an Arduino for data acquisition and an Excel spreadsheet for data analysis. By using this apparatus, the type of damped harmonic…
