Taylor, Leonard, Jr.; Mastrogiovanni, Margaret; Lakin, Joni M.; Davis, Virginia – Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
Background: Engineering-oriented bridge programs and camps are popular strategies for broadening participation. The students who often serve as counselors and mentors in these programs are integral to their success. Purpose: Predicated on the belief that mentoring contributes to positive outcomes for the mentors themselves, we sought to understand…

Haman, Maciej; Lipowska, Katarzyna – Developmental Science, 2023
In numerical cognition research, the operational momentum (OM) phenomenon (tendency to overestimate the results of addition and/or binding addition to the right side and underestimating subtraction and/or binding it to the left side) can help illuminate the most basic representations and processes of mental arithmetic and their development. This…

Castells, Núria; Minguela, Marta; Nadal, Esther – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2023
Little evidence is available regarding the differential impact of reading versus reading and writing on multiple source comprehension. The present study aims to: (1) compare the inferential comprehension performance of students in reading versus reading/synthesis conditions; (2) explore the impact of performing the tasks on paper versus on screen…

Medrano, Josh; Prather, Richard W., II – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2023
New perspectives on executive functions propose a greater involvement of context. These perspectives have implications for research in mathematical cognition. We tackle the problem that although individuals clearly exercise inhibitory control in mathematical contexts, researchers find that the relations between inhibitory control and mathematics…

Endres, Tino; Lovell, Oliver; Morkunas, David; Rieß, Werner; Renkl, Alexander – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2023
Background & Aims: Cognitive load theory assumes that the higher the learner's prior knowledge (i.e., the more expert the learner), the lower the intrinsic cognitive load (complexity) experienced for a given problem. While this is the case in many scenarios, there can be cases in which the converse is also true, resulting in more expert…

d'Arnaud, Lindsey; Husmann, Polly R. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2023
Prior research has reported that experience in undergraduate anatomy did not significantly affect students' grades in professional schools, yet students would still recommend anatomy experience prior to medical school. It has been further posited that this prior experience may have benefits that do not appear in grade outcomes, such as decreased…

Teng, Mark Feng – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2023
Background: Despite the potential of captioned videos, limited attention has been paid to the role of vocabulary knowledge (VK) and working memory (WM) in incidental vocabulary learning under different captioning conditions. Objectives: The present study aimed to bridge this gap by assessing VK and WM in incidental vocabulary learning under…

Yang, Min; Yuan, Rui – Teaching in Higher Education, 2023
This qualitative case study investigates two early-stage doctoral students' developing conceptions of research in their situated context. Drawing on data collected from in-depth interviews and informal conversations with the participants over two years, the study showed that the participants' research conceptions were in a symbiotic relationship…

Televantou, Ioulia; Marsh, Herbert W.; Xu, Kate M.; Guo, Jiesi; Dicke, Theresa – Educational Psychology Review, 2023
The present study uses doubly latent models to estimate the effect of average mathematics achievement at the class level on students' subsequent mathematics achievement (the "Peer Spillover Effect") and mathematics self-concept (the "Big-Fish-Little-Pond-Effect; BFLPE"), controlling for individual differences in prior…

Jin, Hao-Yue; Cutumisu, Maria – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
Computational thinking (CT) skills of pre-service teachers have been explored extensively, but the effectiveness of CT training has yielded mixed results in previous studies. Thus, it is necessary to identify patterns in the relationships between predictors of CT and CT skills to further support CT development. This study developed an online CT…

Kyttälä, Minna; Maria Björn, Piia; Rantamäki, Milla; Närhi, Vesa; Aro, Mikko – European Journal of Special Needs Education, 2023
This survey study (N = 148) investigates the interrelationships between assessment conceptions, assessment self-efficacy, prior education, and teaching experience amongst Finnish pre-service special educational needs teachers (pre-service SENs). The results showed that assessment conceptions and assessment self-efficacy are intertwined. Assessment…

Marks, Gary N. – School Effectiveness and School Improvement, 2023
Prior achievement is essential to estimating the role of schools and school factors on student outcomes because it measures students' pre-existing knowledge and skills. However, its very strong effects and their implications for research and policy are not widely appreciated. Analyses of student achievement in five domains shows that prior…

Carales, Vincent D.; Molina, Mauricio – Journal of Student Financial Aid, 2023
In this paper, we examine college graduates' perceptions of entering student loan repayment and how they navigated this process. Findings highlight the importance of helping students make informed borrowing decisions, particularly as they begin repaying their student loan debt. Policy makers wishing to hold institutions accountable for keeping…

Genc Aksaray, Sevgi; Ozcelik, Erol – Educational Psychology, 2023
Recent findings from psychological studies have shown that emotional arousal improves human memory. However, more evidence is necessary if these results are generalisable to multimedia learning environments. Considering these needs, the study has the goal to examine the effect of emotional arousal on multimedia learning. Fifty-seven participants…

Saeed Almuntasheri – Problems of Education in the 21st Century, 2023
In the context of inquiry-based learning, it is widely acknowledged that fostering teachers' skills in formative assessment is vital for enhancing student learning. This study examined the impact of a formative assessment-based inquiry model on science student understanding and explanations. A quasi-experimental approach that adopts the design of…
