Rellensmann, Johanna; Schukajlow, Stanislaw; Blomberg, Judith; Leopold, Claudia – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2022
Making drawings can help students avoid and overcome difficulties they encounter when solving real-world (or modeling) problems. However, many students do not make drawings spontaneously. In the present study, 132 students in Grades 9 and 10 were randomly assigned to the experimental conditions "with situational or mathematical drawing…

Lardi, Cristiana; Leopold, Claudia – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2022
We investigate an interactive teacher-generated drawing strategy in which the teacher constructs a drawing with the help of the students. The students contribute their ideas on how to visualize to-be-drawn concepts, embedded in an interactive process. The present study explored whether learning from a scientific text on plate tectonics could be…

Rellensmann, Johanna; Schukajlow, Stanislaw; Blomberg, Judith; Leopold, Claudia – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2023
We investigated how students' strategic knowledge about situational (pictorial) drawings and mathematical (schematic) drawings affects drawing accuracy and modeling competencies in the domain of geometry. We conducted a pre-posttest experimental study with 473 students in grade 9. Students were randomly assigned to one of three treatment…

Rellensmann, Johanna; Schukajlow, Stanislaw; Leopold, Claudia – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2020
We report on the construction, validation, and implementation of an instrument for measuring students' strategic knowledge about drawing for geometry modelling problems, namely, the "strategic knowledge about drawing scale." We conducted a qualitative study and a quantitative study to validate the proposed construction and interpretation…

Rellensmann, Johanna; Schukajlow, Stanislaw; Leopold, Claudia – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2017
Drawing strategies are widely used as a powerful tool for promoting students' learning and problem solving. In this article, we report the results of an inferential mediation analysis that was applied to investigate the roles that strategic knowledge about drawing and the accuracy of different types of drawings play in mathematical modelling…

Leopold, Claudia; Leutner, Detlev – Learning and Instruction, 2012
The purpose of two experiments was to contrast instructions to generate drawings with two text-focused strategies--main idea selection (Exp. 1) and summarization (Exp. 2)--and to examine whether these strategies could help students learn from a chemistry science text. Both experiments followed a 2 x 2 design, with drawing strategy instructions…

Schwamborn, Annett; Mayer, Richard E.; Thillmann, Hubertina; Leopold, Claudia; Leutner, Detlev – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2010
In this study, 9th-grade students (N = 196) with a mean age of 14.7 years read a scientific text explaining the chemical process of doing laundry with soap and water and then took 3 tests. Students who were instructed to generate drawings during learning scored higher than students who only read on subsequent tests of transfer (d = 0.91),…
