Pownall, Madeleine; Blundell-Birtill, Pam; Coats, Rachel O.; Harris, Richard – Psychology Teaching Review, 2021
In the UK, psychology degrees are designed to equip students with skills such as critical thinking, research methods, and analytical debate. Many of the key skills and subject-specific content that is taught in the first year of a psychology programme is also introduced in A-level and AS-level study of psychology. Therefore, one would expect…

Begolli, Kreshnik Nasi; Dai, Ting; McGinn, Kelly M.; Booth, Julie L. – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2021
Proportional reasoning failures seem to constitute most errors in probabilistic reasoning, yet there is little empirical evidence about its role for attaining probabilistic knowledge and how to effectively intervene with students who have less proportional reasoning skills. We examined the contributions of students' proportional reasoning skill…

Campbell, Brett – Utah System of Higher Education, 2021
Adult learners currently make up between 25% and 40% of all college-attending students, including military veterans, single mothers, and underemployed workers. Many of these students identify as African American or Latinx, and almost two-thirds (62.5%) attend college part-time. Historically, adult learners have been identified as any…

Corlatescu, Dragos-Georgian; Dascalu, Mihai; McNamara, Danielle S. – Grantee Submission, 2021
Reading comprehension is key to knowledge acquisition and to reinforcing memory for previous information. While reading, a mental representation is constructed in the reader's mind. The mental model comprises the words in the text, the relations between the words, and inferences linking to concepts in prior knowledge. The automated model of…

Amira Mattison Boylston – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Historically, teachers have been primarily focused on fostering the academic success and progress of their students. Over the years, the role of a teacher has evolved to also encompass meeting the behavioral and social-emotional needs of their students as well. Students with difficulties in these areas are often at-risk for struggling academically…

Beheshtian, Cheyenne; Garcia, Vanessa Elena; Zhu-Hui Ng, Tiffany; Alkhatib, Sarah; Quang, Erica; Cho, Kira Jinju; Nguyen, Timothy Duy; Le, Dustin Nguyen; Kadandale, Pavan – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
A large body of literature has established the benefits of undergraduate research experiences via the traditional apprenticeship model. More recently, several studies have shown that many of these benefits can be recapitulated in course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) that are more scalable and easier for students to participate…

Online assessments are needed during the prevailing pandemic situation to continue educational activities while ensuring safety. After conducting the online practical assessment (OPrA) in Biochemistry, we analyzed the students' responses. The blueprint of the OPrA was prepared by the faculty, referring to the various levels and domains of Bloom's…

Fernández-Barros, Andrea; Duran, David; Viladot, Laia – Music Education Research, 2023
The aim of this study was to investigate the potential and limitations of peer tutoring in the development of the intonation of violin and viola students in elementary music education. Researchers have found that peer tutoring is a highly beneficial learning strategy. Peer tutoring is defined as the pairing of learners in an asymmetric…

Ludewig, Ulrich; Hübner, Nicolas; Schroeder, Sascha – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2023
Vocabulary knowledge is one of the most important elements of reading comprehension. Text coverage is the proportion of known words in a given text. We hypothesize that text comprehension increases exponentially with text coverage due to network effects and activation of prior knowledge. In addition, the lexical threshold hypothesis states that…

Armoni, Michal; Gal-Ezer, Judith – Informatics in Education, 2023
In a previous publication we examined the connections between high-school computer science (CS) and computing higher education. The results were promising -- students who were exposed to computing in high school were more likely to take one of the computing disciplines. However, these correlations were not necessarily causal. Possibly those…

Urhan, Selin; Bülbül, Ali – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2023
Our study aims to determine how Habermas' construct of rationality can serve to identify and interpret the difficulties experienced by university students in the mathematical problem-solving process. To this end, a problem which required modelling and solving a differential equation was used. The problem-solving processes of university students…

Hunsu, Nathaniel J.; Olaogun, Olarenwaju P.; Oje, Adurangba V.; Carnell, Peter H.; Morkos, Beshoy – Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
Background: Student persistence in undergraduate engineering majors often depends on how they perform in foundational engineering courses. Although mastery of prerequisite knowledge affects how students perform in these courses, research suggests that achievement goal orientations and task-value and self-efficacy beliefs play prominent roles in…

Bailey, Jodie A. – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2023
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected student learning; according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (2022), scores for students in the United States have shown a decline in mathematics. . One way educators can strengthen students' current mathematical knowledge and bridge to new content is through Number Talks. Number Talks are brief…

Davis, Kirsten A.; Jesiek, Brent K.; Knight, David B. – Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
Background: Engineers operate in an increasingly global environment, making it important that engineering students develop global engineering competency to prepare them for success in the workplace. To understand this learning, we need assessment approaches that go beyond traditional self-report surveys. A previous study (Jesiek et al.,…

Hanselman, Paul; Buontempo, Jenny – Educational Researcher, 2023
Educators increasingly recognize the importance of students' learning orientations, but relatively little is known about how these mindsets vary across and potentially shape educational settings. We use nationally representative data to document contextual variation in mathematics orientations in U.S. high schools. We find systematic variation in…
