Werquin, Patrick – Research in Comparative and International Education, 2021
Recognition of prior learning features at the top of the policy agenda in many countries because recognition of prior learning (RPL) has proven effective in some parts of the world; and there is much policy learning taking place. Therefore, many countries want to gain the advantages associated with RPL. It brings benefits to individual end-users…

Hartmann, Christian; van Gog, Tamara; Rummel, Nikol – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2021
The Productive Failure (PF) approach prompts students to attempt to solve a problem prior to instruction -- at which point they typically fail. Yet, research on PF shows that students who are involved in problem solving prior to instruction gain more conceptual knowledge from the subsequent instruction compared to students who receive the…

Boden, Carrie J.; Cherrstrom, Catherine A.; Sherron, Todd – American Association for Adult and Continuing Education, 2021
Earning a college degree offers many benefits but requires time and money. Prior learning assessment (PLA) saves time and money by translating prior learning into college credit. This systematic literature review examined peer reviewed journal articles about PLA from the last decade. The research design used systematic literature review procedures…

Margaret Walton; Janet Walkoe – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2025
Seeds of Algebraic Thinking comes from the Knowledge in Pieces (KiP) perspective of learning. KiP is a systems approach to learning that stems from the constructivist idea that people learn by building on prior knowledge. As people experience the world, they acquire small, sub-conceptual knowledge elements. When people engage in a particular…

Joseph R. Milinga – Journal for the Education of the Gifted, 2025
This article explores how the teachers and students in Tanzania's special secondary schools conceptualize giftedness and talent. It draws on focus group discussions and interview data from a sample of 30 teachers and 73 students and analyzed through a reflexive thematic analysis procedure. The findings revealed commonalities in conceptualizing…

Yuan Tian; Zhongjian Liu; Hainuo Liu; Min Fang – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2025
Background: Online videos featuring human-generated drawing are increasingly popular in education. However, their effectiveness may vary depending on learners' prior knowledge, and further research is needed to confirm their advantages over other common instructional videos. Objectives: The primary goal of this study is to investigate the impact…

Vidya Lawton; Verity Pacey; Taryn M. Jones; Catherine M. Dean – Higher Education, Skills and Work-based Learning, 2025
Purpose: Australian physiotherapy programs incorporate work-integrated learning within curriculum, with the aim to produce work-ready graduates. Recent research in physiotherapy has identified six domains of work readiness. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between university performance, paid work and work readiness, and…

Klaver, Lida T.; Sins, Patrick H. M.; Walma van der Molen, Juliette H.; Guérin, Laurence J. F. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2023
In this position paper, we introduce the concept of socioscientific capital (SSC) to denote students' resources that unequivocally play a part when students learn about and make decisions regarding socioscientific issues (SSIs). Students use a variety of resources when they engage with SSI. Our conceptualization of SSC expands on current…

Maurer, Markus – Comparative Education, 2023
This article contributes to a better theoretical understanding of the social processes underlying the development and implementation of schemes to improve the recognition of prior learning (RPL) in vocational education and training (VET). It traces the global diffusion of RPL, and then analyses the formulation of RPL policies and design and…

Fahrenbach, Florian – European Journal of Training and Development, 2023
Purpose: This paper aims to depart from the premise that human capital investments and human capital outcomes are often tacit -- an aspect, which is often neglected in the current literature on entrepreneurial human capital. The idea of this conceptual paper is to shed light on the social process of how human capital investments and human capital…

Zhang, Qian; Fiorella, Logan – Educational Psychologist, 2023
Errors are inevitable in most learning contexts, but under the right conditions, they can be beneficial for learning. Prior research indicates that generating and learning from errors can promote retention of knowledge, higher-level learning, and self-regulation. The present review proposes an integrated theoretical model to explain two major…

Mao, Shun; Zhan, Jieyu; Wang, Yizhao; Jiang, Yuncheng – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2023
For offering adaptive learning to learners in intelligent tutoring systems, one of the fundamental tasks is knowledge tracing (KT), which aims to assess learners' learning states and make prediction for future performance. However, there are two crucial issues in deep learning-based KT models. First, the knowledge concepts are used to predict…

Demirkaya, Onur; Bezirhan, Ummugul; Zhang, Jinming – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2023
Examinees with item preknowledge tend to obtain inflated test scores that undermine test score validity. With the availability of process data collected in computer-based assessments, the research on detecting item preknowledge has progressed on using both item scores and response times. Item revisit patterns of examinees can also be utilized as…

Durak, Benzegul; Topçu, Mustafa Sami – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2023
Recent research suggests that integrating model-based learning and socioscientific issue based instruction helps students construct meaningful learning in science classrooms. Thus, this paper presents a unit plan that integrates model-based learning and socioscientific issues. The focus of the unit is the white butterfly which is a local pest. A…
