Explaining after pauses in a video lecture can be an effective learning activity, yet students need support to generate comprehensive explanations. This study tested whether providing students access to the visualizations from the video enhances explanation comprehensiveness and transfer performance. Undergraduates (n = 112) watched a 5-part…

This systematic review synthesizes the literature (involving 62 empirical studies) regarding the effectiveness of cognitive linguistics-inspired language pedagogies (CL-ILPs) on second language (L2) learning. It begins with an overview of the main theoretical tenets of cognitive linguistics followed by a description of the data selection, coding,…

Knowing about the evolution of atomic models throughout history is a fundamental topic to learn about atomic structure. This paper describes how identifying keywords from a musical YouTube video provides a stimulating activity for learning this topic in a chemistry class in middle school. The main goal was to show how a fun and interesting…

This study determines the effectiveness of a non-digital picture concept programme to treat cognitive deficits in pupils with dyslexia.
