Wetzler, Elizabeth L.; Pyke, Aryn A.; Werner, Adam – SAGE Open, 2021
Subsequent recall is improved if students try to recall target material during study (self-testing) versus simply re-reading it. This effect is consistent with the notion of "desirable difficulties." If the learning experience involves difficulties that induce extra effort, then retention may be improved. Not all difficulties are…

Caskurlu, Secil; Richardson, Jennifer C.; Alamri, Hamdan A.; Chartier, Katherine; Farmer, Tadd; Janakiraman, Shamila; Strait, Marquetta; Yang, Mohan – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2021
This multiple case study investigates instructional designers' perceptions of online course quality, their use of cognitive load strategies when designing online courses, and whether utilization of these strategies contribute to online course quality. The participants of this study were instructional designers (n = 5) who worked in various campus…

Yamada, Masahiro; Higgins, Lauren Q.; Raisbeck, Louisa D. – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2021
Although multiple review studies have supported the superior effects of an external compared with internal focus, these reviews are based on performance outcomes. Currently, the literature lacks knowledge regarding the effects of external/internal foci on individuals' perceptions, which may provide further explanations for how attentional focus…

Aleksey Novikov – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Within second language acquisition research, L2 development has been traditionally analyzed through the dimensions of Complexity, Accuracy and Fluency (CAF) (Larsen-Freeman, 2009; Ortega, 2003; Skehan, 2009). Complexity within the CAF framework has gained the most attention and has often been examined through measures associated with clausal…

Bennison, Anne – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2023
Calls for high levels of participation and success in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) by all Australians exacerbates the need for research into improving participation in mathematics by students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Rogoff's three planes of analysis is used to foreground the institutional plane in a low…

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…
