This study examines the impact of working memory capacity and mathematics anxiety on the creative reasoning of prospective mathematics teachers, highlighting how these cognitive factors shape problem-solving processes. This research used a mixed-method sequence explanatory method with a sample size of 60 people for quantitative research, and four…

Over four decades of conceptual change studies in education have been based on the assumption that learners come to science classrooms with functionally fixated intuitive ideas. However, it is largely ignored that such pre-instructional conceptions are probabilistic, reflecting some aspects of an idiosyncratic sampling of their experiences and…

Using masculine forms in surveys is still common practice, with researchers presumably assuming they operate in a generic way. However, the generic masculine has been found to lead to male-biased representations in various contexts. This article studies the effects of alternative gendered linguistic forms in surveys. The language forms are…

Understanding the impacts of digital media such as video games is critical for scholarship during the digital transformation. While the literature on the effects of video games continues to grow, there is little work on positive effects, including creativity, either as an outcome from or process within games. Video games are a media type that…

This study aims to reveal the applicability of the theory of multiple intelligences, based on daily life problem-solving skills, in primary school fourth-grade science courses. The study was conducted using an action research design. The participant group of the research consisted of 23 students, their parents, and the classroom teacher. The data…

This paper explores the distinctions and connections between AI literacy and AI fluency, drawing parallels with the historical development of other literacies such as computer literacy and digital fluency. The paper argues that while AI literacy focuses on understanding and evaluating AI technologies, AI fluency represents a higher-order…

In this study, we explored elementary school teachers' experiences working on open-ended mathematics tasks during a 10-day professional development (PD) workshop. Teachers engaged with the tasks daily in a session call Morning Math (MM). Thirty-two elementary teachers from three school districts in the USA participated in a 2-year professional…

Multimedia learning takes place when people learn from images and words together. Research and theory from cognitive psychology, social psychology, and instructional design have all been used to propose and investigate specific design principles for effective multimedia learning. Research has demonstrated that applying even one of these principles…

This systematic review is a consolidation and organization of literature pertaining to the cognitive load theory and its applicability in a classroom setting. Theories such as the flipped classroom, the spacing effect, and learning by teaching have been staples in the classroom for decades, but the literature connecting these theories to cognitive…

Effective dissemination of energy-saving information is vital for fostering environmental awareness and behavioral change. This study explored how diagram type and individual environmental attitudes shape attention allocation, text processing, and information transfer. A mixed-methods experiment was conducted with 60 design students, who viewed…

Recent research has leveraged peer assessment as a grading system tool where learners are involved in learning and evaluation. However, there is limited knowledge regarding individual differences, such as personality, in peer assessment tasks. We analyze how personality factors affect the peer assessment dynamics of a semester-long remote learning…

This research aims to determine the thinking activity types dominated by a mental process in producing answers characterized by automatic, unconscious, and subjective-empirical processes (system 1) in solving problems so that the default-interventionist interaction occurs. This research novelty is the formulation of the contents and thinking…

The usual interpretation of the person and task variables in between-persons measurement models such as item response theory (IRT) is as attributes of persons and tasks, respectively. They can be viewed instead as ensemble descriptors of patterns of interactions among persons and situations that arise from sociocognitive complex adaptive system…

Children (N = 103, 4-9 years, 59 females, 84% White, c. 2019) completed visual processing, visual feature integration (color, luminance, motion), and visual search tasks. Contrast sensitivity and feature search improved with age similarly for luminance and color-defined targets. Incidental feature integration improved more with age for…

Past research indicates that the testing effect is an effective tool to improve memory and retention and academic performance, however, very few studies have investigated the effects across academic disciplines with a focus on higher- vs. lower-level learning. Therefore, in the current study, we sought to examine whether the testing effect occurs…
