Direct linkLee, Minkyung; Clariana, Roy B. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2022
This experimental investigation considers how the inherent conceptual structure of external representations influences individuals' knowledge structure, and in addition proposes a measure of global collective knowledge to account for the influence of pre-existing knowledge structure. In two studies, undergraduates in a hospitality management…

Norbert Vanek; Haoruo Zhang – Language Learning, 2024
Event segmentation tests have shown substantial overlaps in how adults recognize starts and endpoints as events unfold. However, far less is known about what role different language systems play in the process. Variations in grammatical aspect have been shown to influence event processing. We tested how closely first language (L1) speakers of…

Canan Nakibog?lu – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
In this study, first the level of interconnectedness of the key concepts concerning the topic of physical and chemical changes in pre-service chemistry teachers' (PSCTs') semantic memories was explored. Second, the group cognitive structures of the PSCTs that contain associations between these key concepts and the response concepts that appeared…

Stereotypes can exert a powerful influence on our interactions with others, potentially leading to prejudice when factual evidence is ignored. Here, we identify neuroanatomical and developmental factors that influence the real-time integration of stereotypes and factual evidence during live social interactions. The study uses precisely quantified…

Marc Husband; Allison Tucker – International Journal for Students as Partners, 2025
This article is based on a study that explored pre-service teachers' (PSTs) perceptions of assessment as a result of their participation in a foundations course in a teacher education program, in which assessment was taken up as a partnership. Upon completion of the course, PSTs responded to the question: What was your experience of assessment as…

Hamide Dogan – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
This paper discusses findings from an ongoing study investigating mental mechanisms involved in the conceptualisation of linear transformations from the perspective of Action (A), Process (P), Object (O), and Schema (S) (APOS) theory. Data reported in this paper came from 44 first-year linear algebra students' responses on a task regarding the…

Subramaniam, Karthigeyan – College Teaching, 2022
This article discusses and elaborates on how concept mapping as a specific instructional strategy helps students to externalize and transform their understanding of qualitative research; and helps instructors to focus on their students' conceptual understanding of qualitative research. The discussion focuses on concept mapping as a learning…

Elizabeth Adams St. Pierre – International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), 2024
This paper advocates reading philosophy and using its concepts in educational and social science research. The lengthy engagement with the various concepts and conceptual orders of poststructuralism required for post qualitative inquiry exceeds the scope of reading required for a conventional literature review at the beginning of a typical…

Anita L. Campbell – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
Students that classify as having growth mindsets rather than fixed mindsets enjoy greater academic success. This finding has been repeated in a variety of contexts and encourages teachers and researchers to develop growth mindsets in students. However, neutral and negative conclusions from some mindset intervention studies raise questions about…
