Zhao, Licui; Kojima, Haruyuki; Yasunaga, Daichi; Irie, Koji – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2023
In order to examine whether syntactic processing is a necessary prerequisite for semantic integration in Japanese, cortical activation was monitored while participants engaged in silent reading task. Congruous sentences (CON), semantic violation sentences (V-SEM), and syntactic violation sentences (V-SYN) were presented in the experiment. The…

Bentley, Brendan; Walters, Kylie; Yates, Gregory C. R. – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2023
Advances in embodied learning and the use of gesture has gained greater interest amongst educators and researchers in recent years. The emerging evidence supporting the use of physical enactment rather than just auditory modes of instruction remains unresolved. This paper investigates the pedagogical methods used by a science teacher instructing a…

Hao, Xiaoxin; Xu, Zhiyi; Guo, Mingyue; Hu, Yuzheng; Geng, Fengji – International Journal of STEM Education, 2023
Background: Coding has become an integral part of STEM education. However, novice learners face difficulties in processing codes within embedded structures (also termed nested structures). This study aimed to investigate the cognitive mechanism underlying the processing of embedded coding structures based on hierarchical complexity theory, which…

Lange, Christopher; Gorbunova, Anna; Shcheglova, Irina; Costley, Jamie – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2023
Research often examines cognitive load as it relates to direct instruction, worked examples and problem-solving combined as an integrated whole. The present study examines these strategies in isolation to see their effect on cognitive load. Using learning materials covering the basics of critical thinking to undergraduate law students (n = 160) at…

Ludewig, Ulrich; Schwerter, Jakob; McElvany, Nele – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2023
A better understanding of how distractor features influence the plausibility of distractors is essential for an efficient multiple-choice (MC) item construction in educational assessment. The plausibility of distractors has a major influence on the psychometric characteristics of MC items. Our analysis utilizes the nominal categories model to…

Alfaro-Ponce, Berenice; Sanabria-Z, Jorge; Rivero-Zambrano, Luis Francisco; Muñoz-Ibáñez, Cristopher – Journal of Social Studies Education Research, 2023
Citizen science's (CS) deployment and benefit over the last ten years have been remarkably substantial in their contributions to the massification of citizen participation in tech-based CS projects. Insights into how CS projects influence community changes through proposals of actions and public policies are essential to understanding how they…

Moradi, Jalil; Maleki, Mohammad; Moradi, Hadi – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2023
This study aimed to investigate the effect of part and whole practice on learning basketball lay-up shot skill in young and adolescent male students. Participants were randomly divided into four groups of part and whole practice, namely, part practice-young, whole practice-young, part practice-adolescent, and whole practice-adolescent. After a…

Rahman, Zareen Gul – Educational Forum, 2023
Mathematics pre-service teachers (PSTs) need opportunities to learn best practices in teaching mathematics, e.g., productive struggle. Productive struggle happens when students work through challenging problems that are not straightforward. This paper describes mathematics PSTs' engagement with productive struggle in a mathematics methods course.…

Nuhoglu Kibar, Pinar – Journal of Visual Literacy, 2023
The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of instruction enriched with either simple or complex graphics on perception, interpretation of visuals in terms of the visual language used, and on the orientation of attention on visuals during perception and interpretation of visuals. The study was designed based on the randomised…

Awaah, Fred; Okebukola, Peter; Shabani, Juma; Arkorful, Helen – Cogent Education, 2023
Studies on reasons accounting for the difficulties in learning public administration is relatively new in the public administration literature though many findings exist regarding students' difficulties in the study of different subject areas. This paper examines whether the perceived reasons in other subjects are real in the study of public…

Vecchini, Aurora; Buratta, Livia; Fogassi, Leonardo – Cogent Education, 2023
Imitation is a crucial process for learning and brain development. It is based on the mirror neuron mechanism and underlies our understanding of actions and the gestures of others. Some researchers hypothesized a possible correlation between a low functioning mirror neuron system (MNS) and developmental coordination disorder, including dysgraphic…

Al-Balushi, Sulaiman M.; Al-Harthy, Ibrahim S.; Almehrizi, Rashid S. – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
When individuals' attention shifts away from the primary tasks they are involved in, their minds start to wander. This mental phenomenon, also known as mind-wandering, can interact with other variables and affect the performance of academic tasks. The current study focuses particularly on the mind-wandering (MW) of Omani students while they were…

Jiang, Michael Yi-Chao; Jong, Morris Siu-Yung; Lau, Wilfred Wing-Fat; Chai, Ching-Sing; Wu, Na – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2023
Background: While automatic speech recognition (ASR) is increasingly used for commercial purposes, its influence on the learners' linguistic performance in terms of oral complexity, accuracy and fluency was under-explored. To date, few studies have been conducted to investigate how the dictation ASR technology could be incorporated into language…

Goetz, Thomas; Bieleke, Maik; Yanagida, Takuya; Krannich, Maike; Roos, Anna-Lena; Frenzel, Anne C.; Lipnevich, Anastasiya A.; Pekrun, Reinhard – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2023
The emotion of boredom has sparked considerable interest in research on teaching and learning, but boredom during tests and exams has not yet been examined. Based on the control-value theory of achievement emotions, we hypothesized that students may experience significant levels of boredom during testing ("test boredom"; Hypothesis 1)…

de Gamboa, Genaro; Badillo, Edelmira; Font, Vicenç – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2023
The making of mathematical connections in the classroom plays a dual role. While many studies highlight the importance of connections for the learning of mathematics, others inform of students' difficulties associated with the making of connections. This study aims to characterise the mathematical connections that arise in habitual classroom…
