Eva, Kevin W. – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2009
This paper examines diagnostic error from an educational perspective. Rather than addressing the question of how educators in the health professions can help learners avoid error, however, the literature reviewed leads to the conclusion that educators should be working to induce error in learners, leading them to short term pain for long term…

Cronin, Matthew A.; Gonzalez, Cleotilde; Sterman, John D. – Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, 2009
Accumulation is a fundamental process in dynamic systems: inventory accumulates production less shipments; the national debt accumulates the federal deficit. Effective decision making in such systems requires an understanding of the relationship between stocks and the flows that alter them. However, highly educated people are often unable to infer…

Naumescu, Adrienne Kozan; Pasca, Roxana-Diana – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2011
The influence of heuristical strategies upon the level of two experimental classes is studied in this paper. The didactic experiment took place at secondary school in Cluj-Napoca, in 2008-2009 school year. The study theme "The Unsaturated Hydrocarbons--Alkenes" has been efficiently learned by using the most active methods: laboratory…

Hilbig, Benjamin E.; Erdfelder, Edgar; Pohl, Rudiger F. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2011
A new process model of the interplay between memory and judgment processes was recently suggested, assuming that retrieval fluency--that is, the speed with which objects are recognized--will determine inferences concerning such objects in a single-cue fashion. This aspect of the fluency heuristic, an extension of the recognition heuristic, has…

Poddiakov, Nikolay – International Journal of Early Years Education, 2011
This article is about experimentation in both practical and mental activity and uses data from a series of studies with preschool children. The article focuses on personal experimentation, which is aimed at discovering relations, rather than the more utilitarian experimentation that is aimed at solving practical tasks. Personal experimentation…

Poulou, Maria – International Journal of Educational Psychology, 2015
In this study, the role of teacher-student relationships and students' social and emotional skills as potential predictors of students' emotional and behavioural difficulties was investigated by tapping into 962 primary school students' perceptions via questionnaires. While significant correlations were found linking teachers' interpersonal…

Johnson, Robert R. – College Composition and Communication, 2010
This article argues that craft knowledge can provide a disciplinary rationale for writing studies. It draws from the ancient concepts of teche, phronesis, and the four causes of making and makes the case for a definition of disciplinary knowledge fitting for writing studies. The article concludes with a conceptual framework that can serve as a…

Bellera, Carine A.; Julien, Marilyse; Hanley, James A. – Journal of Statistics Education, 2010
The Wilcoxon statistics are usually taught as nonparametric alternatives for the 1- and 2-sample Student-"t" statistics in situations where the data appear to arise from non-normal distributions, or where sample sizes are so small that we cannot check whether they do. In the past, critical values, based on exact tail areas, were…

Wusteman, Judith – Journal of Education for Library and Information Science, 2013
This article describes a recently introduced module at University College Dublin School of Information and Library Studies (SILS), entitled "Information Architecture: Designing the Web." The module provides students with a realistic experience of how information architects apply their skills to produce usable web sites, via a project to…

Meagher, Michael; Edwards, Michael Todd; Ozgun-Koca, S. Asli – Mathematics Teacher Education and Development, 2013
Successful teacher preparation programs provide learning experiences that help teacher candidates make the shift from "student" to "teacher." In this paper we present research on the implementation of a process for providing candidates such experiences. Utilizing the Mathematics as Teacher Heuristic (MATH) process, prospective…

Francik, Wendy A. – ProQuest LLC, 2012
The purpose of the research was to explore the self-directed learning and transformational learning experiences among persons with bipolar disorder. A review of previous research pointed out how personal experiences with self-directed learning and transformational learning facilitated individuals' learning to manage HIV, Methicillan-resitant…

Barak, Moshe – Technology, Instruction, Cognition and Learning, 2011
This paper presents the outcomes of teaching an inventive problem-solving course to middle school students. Contrary to the common view of creativity as a 'free flow of thought' or 'thinking out of the box,' the method under discussion stresses the use of diverse heuristic approaches for problem-solving and the invention of new products: for…

Undorf, Monika; Erdfelder, Edgar – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2011
According to the ease-of-processing hypothesis, judgments of learning (JOLs) rely on the ease with which items are committed to memory during encoding--that is, encoding fluency. Conclusive evidence for this hypothesis does not yet exist because encoding fluency and item difficulty have been confounded in all previous studies. To disentangle the…

Barton, Bill – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2011
I lay a new theoretical framework across my own lecturing in order to understand what is happening. On the one hand, this is a test of the framework. On the other, I gain insights into both better practices and better course design. The framework constructs undergraduate teaching as the interaction between the discipline and the university…
