Rahman, Taslima; Alexander, Patricia A.; Chae, Soo Eun – Reading Psychology, 2022
This paper describes the benefits of a psychometric analytic approach when studying students' ability to comprehend texts. A reading comprehension measure consisting of four text passages with 32 questions was developed, and analyses using a mean-based approach and linear logistic test (LLTM) method were performed. According to ANOVA, eighth-grade…

Cai, Huiying; Gu, Xiaoqing – Interactive Learning Environments, 2022
This study examined the effects of shared representational guidance (collaborative textural representative tool vs. collaborative graphical representative tool; TR vs. GR) and prior knowledge (low vs. high; LPK vs. HPK) on different levels of individuals' understanding of specific-domain knowledge after collaborative problem solving (CPS). A total…

Dmoshinskaia, Natasha; Gijlers, Hannie; de Jong, Ton – Learning Environments Research, 2022
Giving feedback to peers can be a powerful learning tool because of the feedback provider's active cognitive involvement with the products to be reviewed. The quality of peers' products is naturally an important factor that might influence not only the quality of the feedback that is given, but also the learning arising from this process. This…

Pooja G. Sidney; Julie F. Shirah; Lauren Zahrn; Clarissa A. Thompson – Grantee Submission, 2022
In mathematics, learners often spontaneously draw on prior knowledge when learning new ideas. In this study, we examined whether the specific diagrams used to represent more familiar (i.e., whole number division) and less familiar ideas (i.e., fraction division) shape successful transfer. Undergraduates (N = 177) were randomly assigned to…

Sestir, Marc A.; Kennedy, Lindsay A.; Peszka, Jennifer J.; Bartley, Joanna G. – Teaching of Psychology, 2023
Background: A philosophical shift in statistics regarding emphasis on "New Statistics" (NS; Cumming, G. (2014). The new statistics: Why and how. Psychological Science, 25(1), 7-29.) over conventional null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) raises the question of appropriate material coverage in undergraduate statistics courses.…

Rudin, Joel; D'Intino, Robert; Fleming, Robert; Nicholson, Jennifer; Jovanovski, Straso – Journal of Applied Research in Higher Education, 2023
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to measure the effects of COVID-19 on student learning. Using boundary theory and border theory, the authors hypothesize that learning will be highest in 2019, the year before the pandemic, and lowest in 2020, the year that the pandemic began. Design/methodology/approach: Participants were business students at…

Investigating How Explicit Contextual Cues Affect Predictive Sensorimotor Control in Autistic Adults
Arthur, Tom; Brosnan, Mark; Harris, David; Buckingham, Gavin; Wilson, Mark; Williams, Genevieve; Vine, Sam – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Research suggests that sensorimotor difficulties in autism could be reduced by providing individuals with explicit contextual information. To test this, we examined autistic visuomotor control during a virtual racquetball task, in which participants hit normal and unexpectedly-bouncy balls using a handheld controller. The probability of facing…

Antti-Jussi Lakanen; Ville Isomöttönen – Informatics in Education, 2023
This research investigates university students' success in their first programming course (CS1) in relation to their motivation, mathematical ability, programming self-efficacy, and initial goal setting. To our knowledge, these constructs have not been measured in a single study before in the Finnish context. The selection of the constructs is in…

Padesky, Christopher J. – ProQuest LLC, 2023
This autoethnography explored my experiences in designing a nature-based literacy unit in Hawai'i. Whereas a small body of research highlights a positive relationship between nature-based experiences and literacy outcomes, there is minimal research on the planning process. I wanted to understand the experience of planning for nature-based literacy…
