Felix Krieglstein; Maik Beege; Lukas Wesenberg; Günter Daniel Rey; Sascha Schneider – Educational Psychology Review, 2025
In research practice, it is common to measure cognitive load after learning using self-report scales. This approach can be considered risky because it is unclear on what basis learners assess cognitive load, particularly when the learning material contains varying levels of complexity. This raises questions that have yet to be answered by…

Fuchs, Lynn S.; Bucka, Nicole; Clarke, Ben; Dougherty, Barbara; Jordan, Nancy C.; Karp, Karen S.; Woodward, John; Jayanthi, Madhavi; Gersten, Russell; Newman-Gonchar, Rebecca; Schumacher, Robin; Haymond, Kelly; Lyskawa, Julia; Keating, Betsy; Morgan, Seth – What Works Clearinghouse, 2021
Recent intervention research has demonstrated success in raising the achievement level of students who are struggling with mathematics. This practice guide, developed by the What Works Clearinghouse™ (WWC) in conjunction with an expert panel, distills this contemporary mathematics intervention research into six easily comprehensible and practical…

Zuza, Kristina; Sarriugarte, Paulo; Ametller, Jaume; Heron, Paula R. L.; Guisasola, Jenaro – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
[This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Curriculum Development: Theory into Design.] We argue that teaching learning sequence (TLS) design needs to be further developed through the explicit articulation of methodology, which comprises the theoretical commitments regarding research and how those give rise to methods for design,…

Dounas, Lamiae; Salinesi, Camille; Beqqali, Omar El – Journal of Information Technology Education: Research, 2019
Aim/Purpose: In this paper, we highlight the need to monitor and diagnose adaptive e-learning systems requirements at runtime to develop a better understanding of their behavior during learning activities and improve their design. Our focus is to reveal which learning requirements the adaptive system is satisfying while still evolving and to…

Bickerstaff, Susan; Edgecombe, Nikki – Community College Research Center, Teachers College, Columbia University, 2019
Adult proficiency in numeracy in the United States lags that of other developed nations, and the nonselective institutions that dominate the higher education sector struggle to address the learning needs of the sizeable proportion of students who enroll in their institutions and are deemed academically underprepared in mathematics. Research on…

Amadieu, Franck; Salmerón, Ladislao; Cegarra, Julien; Paubel, Pierre-Vincent; Lemarié, Julie; Chevalier, Aline – Educational Technology & Society, 2015
This study examined the effects of prior domain knowledge and learning sequences on learning with concept mapping and hypertext. Participants either made a concept map in a first step and then read the hypertext's contents combined with concept mapping (high activating condition), or they read the hypertext's contents first and then made a concept…

Watt, Sarah J.; Watkins, Jessie R.; Abbitt, Jason – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2016
This review investigates effective interventions for teaching algebra to students with learning disabilities and evaluates the complexity and alignment of skills with the Common Core State Standards in math. The review includes the results of 10 experimental and 5 single-subject designs (N = 15) producing a moderate overall effect size (g = 0.48).…

Radakovic, Davorka; Herceg, Dorde – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2013
Dynamic geometry software (DGS) is often used for development of interactive teaching materials in many subjects, not only mathematics. These interactive materials can contain hundreds of elements in order to represent complex objects, and script programs to control their behavior. We propose an approach for creating, importing and using…

al Mahmud, Abdullah – TEFLIN Journal: A publication on the teaching and learning of English, 2013
The gist of the entire constructivist learning theory is that learners are self-builders of their learning that occurs through a mental process in a social context or communication setting, and teachers as facilitators generate learning by creating the expected environment and/or utilizing the process. This article theoretically proves…

Browder, Diane M.; Jimenez, Bree A.; Trela, Katherine – Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 2012
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of grade-aligned math instruction on math skill acquisition of four middle schools with moderate intellectual disability. Teachers were trained to follow a task analysis to teach grade-aligned math to middle school students using adapted math problem stories and graphic organizers. The teacher…

Foegen, Anne – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2008
Competence in algebra is linked to access to higher education, employment in better-paying jobs, and, increasingly, the ability to earn a high school diploma. For many students with learning disabilities, developing proficiency in algebra represents a challenging, but necessary goal. Teachers of students with learning disabilities need access to…
