Öllinger, Michael; Jones, Gary; Faber, Amory H.; Knoblich, Günther – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2013
The 8-coin insight problem requires the problem solver to move 2 coins so that each coin touches exactly 3 others. Ormerod, MacGregor, and Chronicle (2002) explained differences in task performance across different versions of the 8-coin problem using the availability of particular moves in a 2-dimensional search space. We explored 2 further…

Lem, Stephanie; Onghena, Patrick; Verschaffel, Lieven; Van Dooren, Wim – Learning and Instruction, 2013
Box plots are frequently used, but are often misinterpreted by students. Especially the area of the box in box plots is often misinterpreted as representing number or proportion of observations, while it actually represents their density. In a first study, reaction time evidence was used to test whether heuristic reasoning underlies this…

Read, Daniel; Frederick, Shane; Scholten, Marc – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2013
People prefer to receive good outcomes immediately rather than wait, and they must be compensated for waiting. But what influences their decision about how much compensation is required for a given wait? To give a partial answer to this question, we develop the DRIFT model, a heuristic description of how framing influences intertemporal choice. We…

Pervaiz, Zahid – ProQuest LLC, 2013
Access control mechanisms protect sensitive information from unauthorized users. However, when sensitive information is shared and a Privacy Protection Mechanism (PPM) is not in place, an authorized insider can still compromise the privacy of a person leading to identity disclosure. A PPM can use suppression and generalization to anonymize and…

Kryjevskaia, Mila; Stetzer, MacKenzie R.; Grosz, Nathaniel – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2014
We have applied the heuristic-analytic theory of reasoning to interpret inconsistencies in student reasoning approaches to physics problems. This study was motivated by an emerging body of evidence that suggests that student conceptual and reasoning competence demonstrated on one task often fails to be exhibited on another. Indeed, even after…

Chen, Ying-Chih; Hand, Brian; Park, Soonhye – Science & Education, 2016
Argumentation, and the production of scientific arguments are critical elements of inquiry that are necessary for helping students become scientifically literate through engaging them in constructing and critiquing ideas. This case study employed a mixed methods research design to examine the development in 5th grade students' practices of oral…

Lumby, Jacky; Foskett, Nick – Educational Management Administration & Leadership, 2016
Internationalization has attained great significance in Higher Education, driven by both educational philosophy and commercial imperatives. Cultural change is implied as both a related process and as a goal. The article considers the multifaceted ways in which culture might be conceived and linked to different orientations to internationalization.…

Park, Jisun; Song, Jinwoong; Abrahams, Ian – Science & Education, 2016
This study explored, from the perspective of intellectual passion developed by Michael Polanyi, the unintended learning that occurred in primary practical science lessons. We use the term "unintended" learning to distinguish it from "intended" learning that appears in teachers' learning objectives. Data were collected using…

The Development of Adaptive Decision Making: Recognition-Based Inference in Children and Adolescents
Horn, Sebastian S.; Ruggeri, Azzurra; Pachur, Thorsten – Developmental Psychology, 2016
Judgments about objects in the world are often based on probabilistic information (or cues). A frugal judgment strategy that utilizes memory (i.e., the ability to discriminate between known and unknown objects) as a cue for inference is the recognition heuristic (RH). The usefulness of the RH depends on the structure of the environment,…

Kanive, Rebecca A. – ProQuest LLC, 2016
Distinguishing between sources of variability in mathematics performance may contribute to a more comprehensive theory of mathematics skills. Research has examined student differences based upon scores on achievement tests, which provide overall proficiency, but may not provide the detailed information for identifying and remediating difficulties.…

Davidovitch, Nitza; Khyhniak, Kateryna – International Education Studies, 2018
The article is devoted to the problem of identification of a language personality's traits under conditions of cross-cultural communication. It is shown that effective cross-cultural communication is revised under globalization and increasingly intensive social interactions. The results of the authors' research prove that it is possible to develop…

Mwei, Philip K. – International Journal of Research in Education and Science, 2017
The concept of mathematical problem solving is an important mathematical process in mathematics curricula of education systems worldwide. These math curricula demand that learners are exposed to authentic problems that foster successful problem solving. To attain this very important goal, there must be mathematics teachers well versed in content…

Trench, Máximo; Minervino, Ricardo – Creativity Research Journal, 2015
Most creativity techniques encourage breaking away from stored knowledge and known solutions. Counter to this approach, this study assessed the effectiveness of an intervention based on introducing minimal variations to well-established knowledge structures. Two groups were tasked with generating creative metaphorical titles for short essays.…

Matthews, Paul – Information Research: An International Electronic Journal, 2015
Introduction: This study looked at the effect of community peripheral cues (specifically voting score and answerer's reputation) on the user's credibility rating of answers. Method: Students in technology and philosophy were asked to assess the credibility of answers to questions posted on a social question-answering platform. Through the use of a…
