Chacón-Díaz, Lucía B. – Cultural Studies of Science Education, 2023
Science education has an important role in educating the public on learning strategies that will generate a scientific literate population. The challenges encountered in this time of crisis calls for individuals to make well-informed decisions, based on reliable information. Understanding scientific basic concepts can inform the population on…

Keiichi Kobayashi – Educational Psychology Review, 2024
This study was conducted to meta-analytically investigate the influence of teaching vs. no teaching expectancy on the learning effects of teaching after preparatory learning. A meta-analysis of 39 studies revealed that a weighted mean effect size for the effect of teaching after studying with or without teaching expectancy vs. merely studying…

Kate M. Xu; Sarah Coertjens; Florence Lespiau; Kim Ouwehand; Hanke Korpershoek; Fred Paas; David C. Geary – Educational Psychology Review, 2024
The ubiquity of formal education in modern nations is often accompanied by an assumption that students' motivation for learning is innate and self-sustaining. The latter is true for most children in domains (e.g., language) that are universal and have a deep evolutionary history, but this does not extend to learning in evolutionarily novel domains…

Zachary S. Hazlett; P. Citlally Jimenez; Jennifer K. Knight – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2025
Evidence abounds that passive strategies such as rereading or highlighting are less effective than active strategies such as drawing models or explaining concepts to others. However, many studies have also reported that students tend to use learning strategies that they perceive as comfortable and easy, even when other strategies may be more…

David Hockham; Jillian Wallis – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education Research, 2024
This interdisciplinary paper brings together scholarship from the fields of education, psychology, sociology and performance to shed light on three pedagogy and learning strategies to support learners recontextualise knowledge between higher education and work contexts. These strategies include offering multiple different types of performance…

Dinsmore, Daniel L.; Fryer, Luke K.; Parkinson, Meghan M. – Theory Into Practice, 2022
The learning styles hypothesis--and particularly the meshing hypothesis--state that learners' preferences about their preferred modality of learning (i.e., visual, aural, or kinesthetic) predict learning gains on academic tasks. Despite the fact that this hypothesis is not borne out by the scientific evidence available to us, it still remains in…

António Faria – Journal of New Approaches in Educational Research, 2024
This study investigated the impact of two teaching strategies, conventional and drawing principle, associated with the use of Augmented Reality (AR), on the school performance of pupils in the 7th-year of primary school and the 10th-year of secondary school on volcanism learning. Compared to previous research, the novelty of this study lies in the…

Metzgar, Matthew – Acta Educationis Generalis, 2023
Introduction: Among the contemporary models developed, the updated Bloom's taxonomy has become the most widely used cognitive process model for gauging learning questions. This model emphasizes the cognitive levels starting from remembering information and progresses to advanced levels such as producing knowledge. Even though students use a…

Courtney Hattan; Patricia A. Alexander; Sarah M. Lupo – Review of Educational Research, 2024
This systematic literature review examined the research on prior knowledge and its activation to ascertain how these terms are defined, what specific techniques have been empirically investigated, and the conditions under which prior knowledge activation facilitated students' comprehension. Fifty-four articles met the inclusion criteria and…

Medrano, Josh; Prather, Richard W., II – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2023
New perspectives on executive functions propose a greater involvement of context. These perspectives have implications for research in mathematical cognition. We tackle the problem that although individuals clearly exercise inhibitory control in mathematical contexts, researchers find that the relations between inhibitory control and mathematics…

Jianzhong Xu – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2024
The present study investigated multilevel models posited to predict student approaches to homework. Participants were 1,072 middle school students in China. Results revealed that deep and surface approaches were positively associated with performance-approach. Furthermore, deep approach to homework was associated negatively with homework cost, yet…

Julius Moritz Meier; Peter Hesse; Stephan Abele; Alexander Renkl; Inga Glogger-Frey – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: In example-based learning, examples are often combined with generative activities, such as comparative self-explanations of example cases. Comparisons induce heavy demands on working memory, especially in complex domains. Hence, only stronger learners may benefit from comparative self-explanations. While static text-based examples can…

Pankaj Chavan; Ritayan Mitra; Abhinav Sarkar; Aditya Panwar – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2024
The use of Experience Sampling Methods (ESM) to assess students' experiences, motivation, and emotions by sending signals to students at random or fixed time points has grown due to recent technological advances. Such methods offer several advantages, such as capturing the construct in the moment (i.e., when the events are fresh on respondents'…

Zhongling Pi; Xin Guo; Caixia Liu; Jiumin Yang – Active Learning in Higher Education, 2025
Students are often encouraged to explain recently-taught information to others to enhance their learning in various settings including face-to-face in the classroom, through text, or in educational videos. However, nearly all studies on the impact of explaining things to others have focused on the effects of explaining to a less-knowledgeable…

Lardy, Laurent; Bressoux, Pascal; De Clercq, Mikael – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2022
The massification and diversification of the student population who enters university has become a challenge for Higher Education institutions. A better consideration of this diversity could help to gain a greater understanding of students' achievement process, and this requires observing situations where this diversity is substantial. Thus, in…
