Sirnoorkar, Amogh; Bergeron, Paul D. O.; Laverty, James T. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
Researchers in physics education have advocated both for including modeling in science classrooms as well as promoting student engagement with sensemaking. These two processes facilitate the generation of new knowledge by connecting to one's existing ideas. Despite being two distinct processes, modeling is often described as sensemaking of the…

Lluch Molins, Laia; Cano García, Elena – Journal of New Approaches in Educational Research, 2023
One of the main generic competencies in Higher Education is "Learning to Learn". The key component of this competence is the capacity for self-regulated learning (SRL). For this competence to be developed, peer feedback seems useful because it fosters evaluative judgement. Following the principles of peer feedback processes, an online…

Shoshannah Brienz Jenni Lane – ProQuest LLC, 2024
The employment of genre-based pedagogy and Task-Based Language Teaching in second language education is representative of a paradigmatic shift towards a focus on meaning-making. Despite this shift, second language acquisition (SLA) research continues to predominantly rely on complexity, accuracy, and fluency metrics to assess learner production…

Pittalis, Marios; Pitta-Pantazi, Demetra; Christou, Constantinos – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2020
A theoretical model describing young students' (Grades 1-3) functional-thinking modes was formulated and validated empirically (n = 345), hypothesizing that young students' functional-thinking modes consist of recursive patterning, covariational thinking, correspondence-particular, and correspondence-general factors. Data analysis suggested that…

Wolff, Fabian; Helm, Friederike; Junge, Fynn; Möller, Jens – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2020
Dimensional comparisons are comparisons of one's accomplishments between two domains (e.g., comparisons between math and verbal achievements) that affect our self-perceptions in the domains compared with each other. In particular, dimensional comparisons explain the seemingly paradoxical finding, described in the internal/external frame of…

Geller, Benjamin D.; Rubien, Jack; Hiebert, Sara M.; Crouch, Catherine H. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
A goal of introductory physics for life sciences (IPLS) curricula is to prepare students to effectively use physical models and quantitative reasoning in biological and medical settings. To assess whether this goal is being met, we conducted a longitudinal study of the impact of IPLS on student work in later biology and chemistry courses. We…

Karimi, Mohammad N.; Ashkani, Parisa – Language Awareness, 2023
In a knowledge society characterized by an abundance of information sources that present conflicting perspectives on socio-scientific controversies, it is extremely important for readers to construct effective mental models of such controversies. Nevertheless, readers' mental representations of controversial information are assumed to be biased…

Ali, Shurooq A. – Arab World English Journal, 2021
This study shows impoliteness as a form of face-threatening that can be intentionally caused by verbal threats in a particular setting. It investigates: what strategies and mitigators do IraqiKurdish English as a foreign language (EFL) learners use in situations of threat responses? The present investigation paper aims to examine impoliteness…

Malicka, Aleksandra – Language Teaching Research, 2020
This study set out to test the theoretical premise of the SSARC model of pedagogic task sequencing, which postulates that tasks should be sequenced for learners from cognitively simple to complex. This experiment compared the performance of three tasks differing in cognitive complexity in a simple-complex sequence versus in the absence of any…

Butler, Yuko Goto – Modern Language Journal, 2018
With use of self-assessment (SA) of young language learners on the rise, educators of young learners often want to know what SA captures and how best to use it in order to assist their students' learning. This study focuses on understanding how young learners' processes for responding to SA items differ by age and by context of implementation…

Forbes, Cory T.; Cisterna, Dante; Bhattacharya, Devarati; Roy, Ranu – American Biology Teacher, 2019
Learning about heredity is important across the K-12 continuum. However, these ideas may be challenging for students. We examined third-grade students' ideas about heredity in the context of a new, six-week, model-based science unit that uses corn as a model organism to support students' ideas about heredity. We analyzed data collected during…
