Ella Anghel – Active Learning in Higher Education, 2024
Collaborative learning (CL) is a common teaching strategy in colleges that involves actively working in groups to achieve a goal. Several studies and theories endorse it as contributing to students' achievement, motivation, and higher-order thinking skills. However, these studies are inconsistent in the way they define and operationalize CL. For…

Lili Yan; Chungsoo Na; Jina Kang – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2024
Collaborative problem-solving (CPS) includes multiple socio-cognitive processes that can be challenging to investigate. Constructing arguments is a key practice at the intersection of CPS and science learning. To understand how students construct arguments and develop science knowledge during CPS, we focus on team synchrony--the extent of…

Yang Dong; Bonnie Wing-Yin Chow; Gelin Xia; Jianhong Mo; Hang Dong – Reading Research Quarterly, 2025
The article explored the impact of topic background knowledge (TBK) on children's language ability development and reading-related emotional factors. TBK refers to the foundational knowledge that children possess concerning a specific subject or topic. The content schemata theory suggests that a high level of TBK facilitates information processing…

Karthigeyan Subramaniam – Science & Education, 2025
This study examined how five minoritized female pre-service teachers negotiated their border crossing from learning to teach science to science teaching for the first time (microteaching) within the context of an elementary science teaching methods course. Perspectives from the border crossing literature guided this study and helped in addressing…

Breslin, Dermot – Learning Organization, 2019
Purpose: Despite an increasing number of publications focusing on the phenomenon of entrepreneurial learning, it is still unclear how this learning process differs from wider organizational learning. This paper aims to address this gap by highlighting four key processual dimensions unique to entrepreneurial learning: intuiting, scanning,…

Yang, Juan; Qi, X. F.; Liu, R.; Wang, L.; Sun, B. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2022
Computer-assisted textual enhancement (CATE) technology has been widely used to improve English as foreign language (EFL) learners' syntactical and grammatical learning. Visual attention, repetition, and prior knowledge are known as the vital factors in CATE-assisted knowledge-acquisition; however, there still lacks a model which can describe…

Chauvin, Rachel; Yennek, Nora; Laurent, Pauline; Lôrant, Sonia; Fenouillet, Fabien – International Journal of Training and Development, 2022
This study investigated the extent to which trainees' perceptions about previous training experiences determine their decision to re-enrol in future multimodal training programmes. A post-training reaction instrument adapted to multiple training modalities was developed. The results showed that trainees' perceptions of the training design and…

Elazar, Amit; Alhama, Raquel G.; Bogaerts, Louisa; Siegelman, Noam; Baus, Cristina; Frost, Ram – Cognitive Science, 2022
How does prior linguistic knowledge modulate learning in verbal auditory statistical learning (SL) tasks? Here, we address this question by assessing to what extent the frequency of syllabic co-occurrences in the learners' native language determines SL performance. We computed the frequency of co-occurrences of syllables in spoken Spanish through…

Zanville, Holly; Travers, Nan – Change: The Magazine of Higher Learning, 2022
The U.S. centuries-old four-tiered degree system (associate, baccalaureate, masters, doctorate) can be insurmountable for many and hinders those who do not complete any given tier. The nation's credential landscape is increasingly confusing, with nearly one million unique credentials awarded from postsecondary education institutions and related…

Neumann, David J. – Social Education, 2022
This article argues that the best way to increase inquiry-based instruction is paradoxically to pay more attention to direct instruction because excessive attention to practices like close reading of texts and facilitating text-based discussions has led to neglect of content knowledge explanation as a core instructional practice. This article…

Gold, Lindsay A. – Education 3-13, 2022
Financial literacy is a concept widely recognised in the middle and high school grade levels, but what does it mean to a primary elementary teacher? This study was a two-phase, mixed-methods research approach that explored Ohio's kindergarten through second grade teachers' perceptions regarding the curriculum and instruction of financial literacy.…

Kubik, Veit; Koslowski, Kenneth; Schubert, Torsten; Aslan, Alp – Metacognition and Learning, 2022
Interim tests of previously studied information can potentiate subsequent learning of new information, in part, because retrieval-based processes help to reduce proactive interference from previously learned information. We hypothesized that an effect similar to this forward testing effect would also occur when making judgments of (prior) learning…

Garcia, Amaya – State Education Standard, 2022
Children across the nation lack access to high-quality pre-K programs that can support their development and build foundational skills for elementary school. The pandemic set pre-K enrollment and funding back further, with an enrollment decline of nearly 300,000 children and state spending remaining relatively flat. As children and families return…
