Yang, Chunliang; Li, Jiaojiao; Zhao, Wenbo; Luo, Liang; Shanks, David R. – Educational Psychology Review, 2023
Practice testing is a powerful tool to consolidate long-term retention of studied information, facilitate subsequent learning of new information, and foster knowledge transfer. However, practitioners frequently express the concern that tests are anxiety-inducing and that their employment in the classroom should be minimized. The current review…

Meier, Julius; Jong, Bastian; Montfort, Dorien Preusterink; Verdonschot, Anouk; Wermeskerken, Margot; Gog, Tamara – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2023
Background: There are only few guidelines on how instructional videos should be designed to optimize learning. Recently, the effects of social cues on attention allocation and learning in instructional videos have been investigated. Due to inconsistent results, it has been suggested that the visual complexity of a video influences the effect of…

Potvin, Patrice – Studies in Science Education, 2023
This article presents a critical and systematic review of the science education research literature that explores the response of learners to contradicting information (anomalous data). The review is framed in the cognitive conflict process model (CCPM) and provides an analysis of (1) the types and frequency of possible responses, (2) the…

Tekkumru-Kisa, Miray; Akcil-Okan, Ozlem; Kisa, Zahid; Southerland, Sherry – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2023
Recent instructional reforms in science education aim to change the way students engage in learning in the discipline, as they describe that students are to engage with disciplinary core ideas, crosscutting concepts, and the practices of science to make sense of phenomena (NRC, 2012). For such sensemaking to become a reality, there is a need to…

Sample Size and Item Parameter Estimation Precision When Utilizing the Masters' Partial Credit Model
Custer, Michael; Kim, Jongpil – Online Submission, 2023
This study utilizes an analysis of diminishing returns to examine the relationship between sample size and item parameter estimation precision when utilizing the Masters' Partial Credit Model for polytomous items. Item data from the standardization of the Batelle Developmental Inventory, 3rd Edition were used. Each item was scored with a…

Cho, Njichop Richard – ProQuest LLC, 2023
As higher education institutions go online to reap the benefits of technology and align their programs with a world economy that is increasingly becoming digital, the multimedia learning theory warns of possible challenges. Large device screens have been used to present related information elements of a learning task simultaneously to facilitate…

National Catholic Educational Association, 2023
The National Standards and Benchmarks for Effective Catholic Elementary and Secondary Schools (2012, 2023) (NSBECS) was first developed and is now updated to complement, support, and reach beyond academic and curricula standards to provide schools a roadmap to faith-based education that is governed with integrity and academically, spiritually, and…

Tugtekin, Ufuk; Odabasi, Hatice Ferhan – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
Learning environments are undergoing a dynamic alteration with the robust impact of technological transformation. Therefore, adapting to dynamic learning settings has now become a key criterion for academic performance. The factors that we know have a detrimental effect on learners' academic performance and cognitive capacity are related to…

Russo, James; Hopkins, Sarah – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
There has been considerable research into how children solve single-digit addition problems for more than a century now, which has brought about significant changes to the ways teachers' support children to retrieve single-digit addition facts. In this project, we examine what makes an addition problem difficult to retrieve in light of…

Lee, Yuan-Hsuan; Hong, Huang-Yao – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
This study investigated multimodal multiple text comprehension (MMTC) among forty-eight Taiwanese university students, considering their cognitive and affective characteristics. A randomized trial with pre- and post-tests design was applied. The experiment group received a browser-embedded note-taking device along with epistemic prompting. The…

Nesli Kala; Alipasa Ayas – Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2023
Thermodynamics is one of the most complex topics in chemistry. Cognitive Load Theory claims that the complexity of a subject is mainly due to element interactivity - how many elements an individual must organise simultaneously in her/his working memory to master a topic. The simultaneous processing of various chemistry and mathematics concepts to…

Yugo Hayashi – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
During collaborative small group problem-solving, a group member with a minority perspective has a notable influence on the majority's perspective. However, the type of interactions with such a member could influence a stalemate, and the relationships between internal and task conflicts and the convergence process remain unclear. This study…

Ramey Uriarte – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Mathematics education researchers suggest that providing the opportunity to struggle with important mathematics (SOS) is a necessary component of lessons in order for students to conceptually understand mathematics. There are many ways to promote and support SOS, yet very few lessons demonstrate SOS in today's middle grades classrooms. This study…

Liu, Yi-Chun; Wang, Wei-Tsong; Huang, Wen-Hsin – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
Prior research has demonstrated the advantages of applying mobile game-based learning (MGBL) applications to supporting students' learning. However, studies that specifically examine the effects of game quality and different types of cognitive loads on learning effectiveness in MGBL contexts are scarce. Therefore, this study aims to address this…

Perry, Ben D.; Cameron, Melissa S.; Cooke, Matthew B.; Towstoless, Michelle; Hryciw, Deanne H.; Hayes, Alan; Lexis, Louise; Tangalakis, Kathy – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
An Australia-wide consensus was reached on seven core concepts of physiology, one of which was "structure and function" with the descriptor "Structure and function are intrinsically related to all levels of the organism. In all physiological systems, the structure from a microscopic level to an organ level dictates its…
