Numerical Development in Preschool: Examining Potential Mediators of Children's Approximate Number System and Mathematics Achievement
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Scalise, Nicole R.; Purpura, David J. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
There is evidence of a relation between the approximate number system (ANS) and later mathematics achievement. Researchers have proposed various mediators of this relation, including executive functioning (EF), numeral knowledge, and mathematical language. The goal of the present study was to determine which factors mediate the relation between…

Embodied Geometric Reasoning: Dynamic Gestures during Intuition, Insight, and Proof
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Nathan, Mitchell J.; Schenck, Kelsey E.; Vinsonhaler, Rebecca; Michaelis, Joseph E.; Swart, Michael I.; Walkington, Candace – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
Grounded and embodied cognition (GEC) serves as a framework to investigate mathematical reasoning for proof (reasoning that is logical, operative, and general), insight (gist), and intuition (snap judgment). Geometry is the branch of mathematics concerned with generalizable properties of shape and space. Mathematics experts (N = 46) and nonexperts…

Self-Regulation and Gender within a Game-Based Learning Environment
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Nietfeld, John L.; Shores, Lucy R.; Hoffmann, Kristin F. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2014
In this study, we examined how self-regulated learning (SRL) and gender influences performance in an educational game for 8th-grade students (N = 130). Crystal Island--Outbreak is an immersive, inquiry-based, narrative-centered learning environment featuring a microbiology science mystery aligned with 8th-grade science curriculum. SRL variables…

The Relationship of Discourse and Topic Knowledge to Fifth Graders' Writing Performance
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Olinghouse, Natalie G.; Graham, Steve; Gillespie, Amy – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2015
This study examined whether discourse and topic knowledge separately predicted the overall quality and the inclusion of basic genre elements in 5th grade students' stories, persuasive papers, and informational text once the other type of knowledge as well as topic interest, spelling, handwriting fluency, length of text, and gender were controlled.…

A Double Dose of Disadvantage: Language Experiences for Low-Income Children in Home and School
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Neuman, Susan B.; Kaefer, Tanya; Pinkham, Ashley M. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2018
There is a virtual consensus regarding the types of language processes, interactions, and material supports that are central for young children to become proficient readers and writers (Shanahan et al., 2008). In this study, we examine these supports in both home and school contexts during children's critical transitional kindergarten year.…

Gender Differences in the Use and Benefit of Advanced Learning Technologies for Mathematics
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Arroyo, Ivon; Burleson, Winslow; Tai, Minghui; Muldner, Kasia; Woolf, Beverly Park – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2013
We provide evidence of persistent gender effects for students using advanced adaptive technology while learning mathematics. This technology improves each gender's learning and affective predispositions toward mathematics, but specific features in the software help either female or male students. Gender differences were seen in the students' style…
