Rafi Safadi; Nadera Hawa – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2024
Research suggests that troubleshooting activities that require students to reflect on teacher-crafted erroneous examples; i.e., erroneous solutions to problems that correspond to widespread naïve ideas, are beneficial to learning. One possible explanation to these beneficial effects is that troubleshooting activities encourage students to test the…

Yasar C. Kakdas; Sinan Kockara; Tansel Halic; Doga Demirel – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2024
This article presents a 3-D medical simulation that employs reinforcement learning (RL) and interactive RL (IRL) to teach and assess the procedure of donning and doffing personal protective equipment (PPE). The simulation is motivated by the need for effective, safe, and remote training techniques in medicine, particularly in light of the COVID-19…

Beth A. Lindsey; Andrew Boudreaux; Drew J. Rosen; MacKenzie R. Stetzer; Mila Kryjevskaia – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
In this study, we have explored the effectiveness of two instructional approaches in the context of the motion of objects falling at terminal speed in the presence of air resistance. We ground these instructional approaches in dual-process theories of reasoning, which assert that human cognition relies on two thinking processes. Dual-process…

Fields, R. Stacy; Elleman, Amy M.; Oslund, Eric L.; Clark, Laura B.; Olson, Collin – Reading Psychology, 2023
Writing is a skill that has increased in significance for both researchers and classroom teachers due to changes in recent standards. Currently, many high school English Learners (ELs) are struggling to master this priority skill. A strategy that has been shown to be effective for adolescent writers is Self-Regulated Strategy Development (SRSD).…

Chen, Xingliang; Mitrovic, Antonija; Mathews, Moffat – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2020
Problem solving, worked examples, and erroneous examples have proven to be effective learning activities in Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs). However, it is generally unknown how to select learning activities adaptively in ITSs to maximize learning. In the previous work of A. Shareghi Najar and A. Mitrovic, alternating worked examples with…

Safadi, Rafi' – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
Troubleshooting activities require students to diagnose teacher-crafted erroneous examples by detecting and explaining the conceptual errors driving them. In a previous study, the author tested whether diagnosing erroneous examples and then scoring them using a rubric that contained the related worked examples, a step-by-step strategy to solve a…

Nowbakht, Mohammad; Olive, Thierry – Written Communication, 2021
This study examined the role of error-type and working memory (WM) in the effectiveness of direct-metalinguistic and indirect written corrective feedback (WCF) on self error-correction in first-language writing. Fifty-one French first-year psychology students volunteered to participate in the experiment. They carried out a first-language…

Tatsanajamsuk, Pratabjai; Saengboon, Saksit – LEARN Journal: Language Education and Acquisition Research Network, 2021
This study investigates the roles of indirect asynchronous electronic feedback (e-feedback) and direct corrective feedback (CF) on calque and collocation errors produced by Thai undergraduate students. The study also explores the factors influencing their ability to benefit from the feedback. Six cases were divided into two groups (Group 1: direct…

Xu, Yi – Interpreter and Translator Trainer, 2023
The research on interpreting aptitude has focused on the abilities, skills and personal traits of individuals in order to predict their future interpreting performance. However, an important variable between the personal characteristics and success of trainee interpreters in interpreter training, which is instructional practices, is overlooked.…

Tooher, Helen; Johnson, Patrick – Issues in Educational Research, 2020
This pilot study explores the effectiveness of a strategy for overcoming post-primary students' misconceptions within the topic of algebra. Although central to the study of mathematics, algebra can be an area of difficulty for many students. A misconception is typically classified as flawed understanding of a concept causing repeated errors, and…

Chen, Wenling – English Language Teaching, 2018
The present study, through sample analysis and questionnaires, investigates the effects of different types of corrective feedback in 250 essays of the first-year English major students and the students' responses to different feedback strategies. The study shows that 1) the students can improve their writing with the help of the feedback and that…

Kurzer, Kendon – TESOL Quarterly: A Journal for Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages and of Standard English as a Second Dialect, 2018
This study investigated the role of dynamic written corrective feedback (DWCF; Evans, Hartshorn, McCollum, & Wolfersberger, 2010; Hartshorn & Evans, 2015; Hartshorn et al., 2010), a mode of providing specific, targeted, and individualized grammar feedback in developmental English as a second language (ESL) writing classes (pre-first year…

Granena, Gisela; Yilmaz, Yucel – Language Learning, 2019
This study investigated the relative effectiveness of two instructional interventions (implicit and explicit feedback) as a function of implicit sequence-learning ability. Second language (L2) attainment was measured by means of a self-paced reading task, which shows online sensitivity to language errors. Implicit sequence-learning ability was…

Strong, Brian; Boers, Frank – Modern Language Journal, 2019
English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) textbooks and internet resources exhibit various formats and implementations of exercises on phrasal verbs. The experimental study reported here examines whether some of these might be more effective than others. EFL learners at a university in Japan were randomly assigned to 4 treatment groups. Two groups were…
