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…

Ventura, Ana Clara – Early Years: An International Journal of Research and Development, 2023
This study investigated six-year-old children's metacognitive and self-regulatory processes during task engagement and their relations to children's online metacognitive experiences, particularly feelings of difficulty (FOD). Sixty first graders (57% boys; M age: 6.2 yr., SD = 3 months) were individually interviewed. They were engaged in an…

Paromita Deb; Anupam Basu – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2024
The study explored the role of verbal fluency in determining reading and comprehension skills in Bengali among 10-year old typically developing Bengali children. Robust correlations were found between semantic fluency and word reading (0.63) as well as semantic fluency and comprehension (0.70). Good correlation was found between letter fluency and…

Yuko Suzuki; Fridolin Wild; Eileen Scanlon – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: Cognitive load during AR use has been measured conventionally by performance tests and subjective rating. With the growing interest in physiological measurement using non-invasive biometric sensors, unbiased real-time detection of cognitive load in AR is expected. However, a range of sensors and parameters are used in various subject…

Eric Girard – Journal of Education for Business, 2024
A finance program determines relevance by aligning with professional standards, such as the CFA's body of knowledge (CBOK). Resistance to the integration process occurs when faculty members disagree with the program's targeted cognitive rigor (CR). This study suggests mapping the CBOK's CR facilitates integration by allotting CFA learning outcomes…

Tom Porta; Nicole Todd – Journal of Research in Special Educational Needs, 2024
Differentiated instruction (DI) is a pedagogical framework to which all students can be engaged in their learning and achieve academically in their schooling. While DI is for all students, there is little research in DI for students with learning difficulties, in senior-secondary schools in Australia. This research formed part of a larger study,…

Alexander Brodsky; Andreas Rausch; Jürgen Seifried – Vocations and Learning, 2024
Internships offer the opportunity to gain experience and skills by working in organisations or to establish a professional network, and there is empirical evidence of the positive effects of practical experience in higher education. However, there are only a few studies on the characteristics of workplace tasks that facilitate learning during…

Emily K. Toutkoushian; Huaping Sun; Mark T. Keegan; Ann E. Harman – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2024
Linear logistic test models (LLTMs), leveraging item response theory and linear regression, offer an elegant method for learning about item characteristics in complex content areas. This study used LLTMs to model single-best-answer, multiple-choice-question response data from two medical subspecialty certification examinations in multiple years…

Kanako Fukuda; Tsuyoshi Sashima – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2024
Introduction: There are major differences when children with blindness perform construction tasks using haptics, without relying on sight, compared to when children with typical vision perform them through sight. When using sight, in all of the processes, the overall image can be grasped simultaneously while executing the task. When using haptics,…

Derek McClellan; Raymond J. Chastain; Marci S. DeCaro – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 2024
Use of online video lectures is increasingly common. However, students may struggle to self-regulate their attention and passively process the content. This study examined whether, and for whom, different types of embedded learning prompts improve student learning from video lectures. Undergraduate physics students (N = 253) watched an online,…

Study skills are important for success in college. However, students may not be aware of or willing to use effective strategies such as spaced practice and self-testing. This replication-extension study of Susser and McCabe (Susser and McCabe in Instr Sci 41:345-363, 2013) supports their original findings regarding spaced practice and extends the…
