Luke K. Fryer; Alex Shum – British Educational Research Journal, 2025
How do task experiences support proximal and longer-term desires to reengage? Central to this question is the interplay between perceptions of task difficulty and the situational interest. This interplay is increasingly researched but not yet well understood. Micro-analytic, latent studies are important tools for replicating past findings and…

Micah Watanabe; Danielle S. McNamara – Grantee Submission, 2023
Past research on knowledge has differentiated between dimensions (e.g., amount, accuracy, specificity, coherence) of knowledge. This paper introduces a novel dimension of knowledge, the Motivational Utility of Knowledge (MUK), that is based on fundamental human needs (e.g., physical safety, affiliation, actualization, reproduction). Adults in the…

Charles Hohensee; Matthew Melville; Crystal Collier; Yue Ma – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2025
This study examined "backward transfer," which we define as how students' ways of reasoning about previously encountered concepts are modified when learning about new concepts. We examined the backward transfer produced when students learned about quadratic functions. We were specifically interested in how backward transfer may vary for…

Choi, Minkyung – Journal of College Reading and Learning, 2023
College science courses pose complex challenges to students. Textbooks are dense and laden with textbook features that may be confusing to students unfamiliar with science texts. Courses are especially challenging because they presuppose a certain degree of disciplinary literacy, or understanding of the knowledge and practices possessed by those…

Castells, Núria; Minguela, Marta; Nadal, Esther – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2023
Little evidence is available regarding the differential impact of reading versus reading and writing on multiple source comprehension. The present study aims to: (1) compare the inferential comprehension performance of students in reading versus reading/synthesis conditions; (2) explore the impact of performing the tasks on paper versus on screen…

Rahman, Taslima; Alexander, Patricia A.; Chae, Soo Eun – Reading Psychology, 2022
This paper describes the benefits of a psychometric analytic approach when studying students' ability to comprehend texts. A reading comprehension measure consisting of four text passages with 32 questions was developed, and analyses using a mean-based approach and linear logistic test (LLTM) method were performed. According to ANOVA, eighth-grade…

Liaw, Hongming; Yu, Yuh-Ru; Chou, Chin-Cheng; Chiu, Mei-Hung – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2021
Kinematics is an important but challenging area in physics. In previously published works of the current research project, it was revealed that there is a significant relationship between facial microexpression states (FMES) changes and conceptual conflict-induced conceptual change. Consequently, the current study integrated FMES into a kinematics…
