Jian, Yu-Cin – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2022
This study used eye-movement tracking to investigate how students engage with the learning process of reading science articles with or without hands-on manipulation of a pulley system and their influences on learning outcomes. This experiment used a 2 (reading easy or difficult articles) × 2 (with or without hands-on manipulation) between-subject…

Hyland, Diarmaid; O'Shea, Ann – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications, 2022
In this study, we conducted a survey of all tertiary level institutions in Ireland to find out how many of them use diagnostic tests, and what kind of mathematical content areas and topics appear on these tests. The information gathered provides an insight into what instructors expect students to know on entry to university and what they expect…

Weiler, Jess R.; Lomotey, Kofi – Educational Administration Quarterly, 2022
Faculty in practitioner-oriented EdD programs must continually defend the presence of rigor in their programs. The existence of rigor determines the preparedness of our educational leaders to disrupt and transform educational organizations to bring about equitable and socially just outcomes; however, perceptions of rigor by the larger community…

Çinar, Murat; Dogan, Dilek; Tüzün, Hakan – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2022
This study aims to investigate the effects of different design tasks on the cognitive load level of instructional designers during the process of designing a learning activity in a 3D multi-user virtual environment (MUVE). The sample consisted of 16 undergraduate students who were experienced in the areas of instructional design, computer…

Conrad, Colin; Deng, Qi; Caron, Isabelle; Shkurska, Oksana; Skerrett, Paulette; Sundararajan, Binod – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2022
The COVID-19 pandemic has posed a significant challenge to higher education and forced academic institutions across the globe to abruptly shift to remote teaching. Because of the emergent transition, higher education institutions continuously face difficulties in creating satisfactory online learning experiences that adhere to the new norms. This…

Wang, Bo; Ginns, Paul; Mockler, Nicole – Educational Psychology Review, 2022
Cognitive load theory's incorporation of evolutionary perspectives has generated several instructional designs based on movement, including the tracing effect, occurring when learners benefit from explicit instructions to trace out specific elements of lesson materials with the index finger. Historical descriptions of children's tracing behaviours…

Buchner, Josef; Buntins, Katja; Kerres, Michael – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2022
Background: Previous studies on augmented reality-enriched learning and training indicated conflicting results regarding the cognitive load involved: some authors report that AR can reduce cognitive load, others have shown that AR is perceived as cognitively demanding and can lead to poorer performance. Objectives: The aim of this study is to…

Ari, Omer; Calandra, Brendan – College Teaching, 2022
College students enrolled in a reading support course were asked to (a) read a short text, (b) listen to a second text, and (c) read + listen to a third text and answer multiple-choice comprehension questions about each text. Each condition employed a self-study format allowing for constant availability of text input and extra time to revisit text…

Ramli, Izzat Syahir Mohd; Maat, Siti Mistima; Khalid, Fariza – Cypriot Journal of Educational Sciences, 2022
Game-based learning has received increasing attention in recent years as it could help improve pupils' motivation, self-efficacy, and achievement. Technological innovations like learning analytics (LA) and GBL offer pedagogical support for teachers. GBL could significantly support pupils' learning as a learning approach compared to conventional…

Hayes, Brett K.; Stephens, Rachel G.; Lee, Michael D.; Dunn, John C.; Kaluve, Anagha; Choi-Christou, Jasmine; Cruz, Nicole – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
Much recent research and theorizing in the field of reasoning has been concerned with intuitive sensitivity to logical validity, such as the logic-brightness effect, in which logically valid arguments are judged to have a "brighter" typeface than invalid arguments. We propose and test a novel signal competition account of this…

Thibaut, Jean-Pierre; Glady, Yannick; French, Robert M. – Cognitive Science, 2022
Starting with the hypothesis that analogical reasoning consists of a search of semantic space, we used eye-tracking to study the time course of information integration in adults in various formats of analogies. The two main questions we asked were whether adults would follow the same search strategies for different types of analogical problems and…

Alemdag, Ecenaz – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
Although instructional videos with on-screen instructors have become prevalent in various learning contexts, their effect has been questioned because of mixed findings in the literature. This meta-analysis study aimed to elucidate the overall effect of instructor-present videos on learning, cognitive load, motivation, and social presence and to…

Mankki, Ville; Kyrö-Ämmälä, Outi – Asia-Pacific Journal of Teacher Education, 2022
Sustaining the attractiveness of the teaching profession to recruit committed students to teacher education is a global policy issue. However, in many parts of the world, the teaching profession has become less attractive. Also in Finland, where teacher education has traditionally been highly attractive, several programmes have recently suffered…

Aalioui, Lockman; Gouzi, Fares; Tricot, André – Advances in Physiology Education, 2022
Lectures constitute a basic component of physiology instruction in scientific and healthcare curricula. Technological progress has allowed a switch from face to face to video lectures, yet there is no evidence of video efficacy in physiology. Because videos increase the cognitive load during a learning task, identifying tools that decrease…

Levin, Nimrod; Lipshits-Braziler, Yuliya – International Journal for Educational and Vocational Guidance, 2022
We investigated the conceptual similarity and empirical overlap between the Career Adapt-Abilities Scale (CAAS) and the career decision-making adaptability (CDA) indicator, and their contribution to the prediction of (1) decisional difficulty and distress and (2) decision status. The associations between CAAS and CDA dimensions in a sample of 2146…
