Ilona Sodervik; Leena Hanski; Eero Laakkonen; Nina Katajavuori – Journal of Education in Science, Environment and Health, 2024
The importance of studies showing the impact of students' epistemic beliefs on their conceptual learning and academic progress is increasing. This study investigated pharmacy students' domain-specific epistemic cognition and topic-specific beliefs related to their level of conceptual prior knowledge, learning and study progress during the first…

European Training Foundation, 2024
This report explores policies and practices on validation of non-formal and informal learning in the ETF's partner countries and presents the results of studies carried out in 16 countries in the period 2021-23. Countries increasingly invest in validation schemes (also known as recognition of prior learning) in an effort to give visibility to all…

Karunia Eka Lestari; Mokhammad Ridwan Yudhanegara – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2024
Graph theory allows the student to work on problems that require imagination, intuition, systematic exploration, conjecturing, and reasoning. It implies that mathematical investigation skill is essential to be proficient in Graph Theory. In this study, we conduct empirical research that deals with associational research. There were 97 students…

Roee Peretz; Natali Levi-Soskin; Dov Dori; Yehudit Judy Dori – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2024
Contribution: Model-based learning improves systems thinking (ST) based on students' prior knowledge and gender. Relations were found between textual, visual, and mixed question types and student achievements. Background: ST is essential to judicious decision-making and problem-solving. Undergraduate students can be taught to apply better ST, and…

Eva Viviani; Michael Ramscar; Elizabeth Wonnacott – Cognitive Science, 2024
Ramscar, Yarlett, Dye, Denny, and Thorpe (2010) showed how, consistent with the predictions of error-driven learning models, the order in which stimuli are presented in training can affect category learning. Specifically, learners exposed to artificial language input where objects preceded their labels learned the discriminating features of…

María José Sáez-Bondía; Ester Mateo; Jorge Martín-García – Learning Environments Research, 2024
This study responds to the need to produce inviting learning environments that help to build intentional science learning in early childhood education. We present a free-choice science learning environment on plant diversity in the fall. From the moment it was implemented, we analyzed whether children of different educational levels acted in…

Minna Kyttälä; Piia Maria Björn; Milla Rantamäki; Sami Lehesvuori; Vesa Närhi; Mikko Aro; Marja-Kristiina Lerkkanen – European Journal of Teacher Education, 2024
The aim of this quantitative survey study (N = 287) was to investigate the assessment conceptions of three different pre-service teacher groups (classroom teachers, subject teachers and special needs teachers). Assessment conceptions were best described by the following three main factors: 1) assessment of learning, 2) assessment for teaching and…

Werquin, Patrick – Research in Comparative and International Education, 2021
Recognition of prior learning features at the top of the policy agenda in many countries because recognition of prior learning (RPL) has proven effective in some parts of the world; and there is much policy learning taking place. Therefore, many countries want to gain the advantages associated with RPL. It brings benefits to individual end-users…

Hartmann, Christian; van Gog, Tamara; Rummel, Nikol – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2021
The Productive Failure (PF) approach prompts students to attempt to solve a problem prior to instruction -- at which point they typically fail. Yet, research on PF shows that students who are involved in problem solving prior to instruction gain more conceptual knowledge from the subsequent instruction compared to students who receive the…

Palmer, Iris; Nguyen, Sophie; Love, Ivy – New Directions for Community Colleges, 2021
Drawing from Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) grant evaluations and interviews with the field, this chapter includes examples of three cases that integrated advising and prior learning assessment for adults returning to education, and discusses the benefits and drawbacks of each approach.

Boden, Carrie J.; Cherrstrom, Catherine A.; Sherron, Todd – American Association for Adult and Continuing Education, 2021
Earning a college degree offers many benefits but requires time and money. Prior learning assessment (PLA) saves time and money by translating prior learning into college credit. This systematic literature review examined peer reviewed journal articles about PLA from the last decade. The research design used systematic literature review procedures…

Joseph R. Milinga – Journal for the Education of the Gifted, 2025
This article explores how the teachers and students in Tanzania's special secondary schools conceptualize giftedness and talent. It draws on focus group discussions and interview data from a sample of 30 teachers and 73 students and analyzed through a reflexive thematic analysis procedure. The findings revealed commonalities in conceptualizing…

Klaver, Lida T.; Sins, Patrick H. M.; Walma van der Molen, Juliette H.; Guérin, Laurence J. F. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2023
In this position paper, we introduce the concept of socioscientific capital (SSC) to denote students' resources that unequivocally play a part when students learn about and make decisions regarding socioscientific issues (SSIs). Students use a variety of resources when they engage with SSI. Our conceptualization of SSC expands on current…
