Annalisa Soncini; Maria Cristina Matteucci; Carlo Tomasetto; Fabrizio Butera – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2025
Background: Although it is well established that students' adaptive reactions towards errors promote learning outcomes, little is still known about the role of error feedback in promoting these reactions. Aim: Through a targeted intervention based on an online teaching unit, this study aimed at testing whether supportive error feedback promotes…

Rahel Schmid; Robbert Smit; Nicolas Robin; Alexander Strahl – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2025
Background: Students make many errors in visual programming. In order to learn from these, it is important that students regulate their emotions and view errors as learning opportunities. Aims: This study aimed to explore to what extent momentary emotions, specifically enjoyment, anxiety and boredom, as well as the error learning orientation of…

Conrad Borchers; Paulo F. Carvalho; Meng Xia; Pinyang Liu; Kenneth R. Koedinger; Vincent Aleven – Grantee Submission, 2023
In numerous studies, intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) have proven effective in helping students learn mathematics. Prior work posits that their effectiveness derives from efficiently providing eventually-correct practice opportunities. Yet, there is little empirical evidence on how learning processes with ITSs compare to other forms of…

Hai Li; Wanli Xing; Chenglu Li; Wangda Zhu; Simon Woodhead – Journal of Learning Analytics, 2025
Knowledge tracing (KT) is a method to evaluate a student's knowledge state (KS) based on their historical problem-solving records by predicting the next answer's binary correctness. Although widely applied to closed-ended questions, it lacks a detailed option tracing (OT) method for assessing multiple-choice questions (MCQs). This paper introduces…

Christina Areizaga Barbieri; Elena M. Silla – Journal of Experimental Education, 2024
Prior research highlights a positive effect of incorrect worked examples on mathematics learning. Yet the mechanisms underlying these benefits are unclear. To investigate potential mechanisms of the benefits of various worked example types, we examined process data from a previously published classroom-based experiment. More specifically, we…

Loehr, Abbey M.; Fazio, Lisa K.; Rittle-Johnson, Bethany – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2020
Background: Committing errors is a common part of the learning process, and adults are more likely to correct errors that they can recall. However, preadolescent children's recall of previous errors (i.e., memory for errors) may be limited. Aims: We examined children's ability to recall their past errors and tested whether recalling an error aids…

Samuel Kenney; Forster D. Ntow – SAGE Open, 2024
This article uses the concurrent mixed methods design to explore the errors made by 171 Grade Seven learners in algebraic problem-solving within the Assin Central Municipality in Ghana. The participants were categorized into low-achieving and high-achieving groups based on their performance in a pretest, to help provide a detailed examination of…

Barbieri, Christina Areizaga; Booth, Julie L.; Begolli, Kreshnik N.; McCann, Nicholas – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2021
The present study examines the effectiveness of incorporating worked examples with prompts for self-explanation into a middle school math textbook. Algebra 1 students (N = 75) completed an equation-solving unit with textbooks either containing the original practice problems or in which a portion of those problems were converted into a combination…

Mughaz, Dror; Cohen, Michael; Mejahez, Sagit; Ades, Tal; Bouhnik, Dan – Interdisciplinary Journal of e-Skills and Lifelong Learning, 2020
Aim/Purpose: Using Artificial Intelligence with Deep Learning (DL) techniques, which mimic the action of the brain, to improve a student's grammar learning process. Finding the subject of a sentence using DL, and learning, by way of this computer field, to analyze human learning processes and mistakes. In addition, showing Artificial Intelligence…

Li, Tong; Wang, Ying; Tong, Xiuhong; McBride, Catherine – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2017
To investigate the relationship between Chinese children's character and word reading, 62 third and 50 fifth grade children in Hong Kong were asked to read single characters and words that were comprised of these characters. Results showed that words helped children to recognize characters for both grades of children. Compared to older children,…

Bossé, Michael J.; Bayaga, Anass; Fountain, Catherine; Lynch-Davis, Kathleen; Preston, Ron; Adu-Gyamfi, Kwaku – International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education, 2018
This study applies the Mathematics Acquisition Framework (MAF) (Bossé, Ringler, Bayaga, Fountain, & Young, 2018) to investigate fifth- through seventh-grade students' comprehension of fractions and decimals and examines how students build understanding of mathematical principles and concepts regarding fractions and decimals. Based on case…

McCaslin, Mary; Vriesema, Christine C.; Burggraf, Susan – Teachers College Record, 2016
Background: We studied how students in Grades 4-6 participate in and emotionally adapt to the give-and-take of learning in classrooms, particularly when making mistakes. Our approach is consistent with researchers who (a) include cognitive appraisals in the study of emotional experiences, (b) consider how personal concerns might mediate…

Jupri, Al; Drijvers, Paul – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2016
To investigate student difficulties in solving word problems in algebra, we carried out a teaching experiment involving 51 Indonesian students (12/13 year-old) who used a digital mathematics environment. The findings were backed up by an interview study, in which eighteen students (13/14 year-old) were involved. The perspective of mathematization,…

Tulis, Maria; Steuer, Gabriele; Dresel, Markus – Frontline Learning Research, 2016
Errors bear the potential to improve knowledge acquisition, provided that learners are able to deal with them in an adaptive and reflexive manner. However, learners experience a host of different--often impeding or maladaptive--emotional and motivational states in the face of academic errors. Research has made few attempts to develop a theory that…

Heemsoth, Tim; Heinze, Aiso – Journal of Experimental Education, 2016
Thus far, it is unclear how students can learn most effectively from their own errors. In this study, reflections on the rationale behind self-made errors are assumed to enhance knowledge acquisition. In a field experiment with pre/post/follow-up design, the authors practiced fractions with 174 seventh- and eighth-grade students who were randomly…
