Lavbic, Dejan; Matek, Tadej; Zrnec, Aljaž – Interactive Learning Environments, 2017
Today's software industry requires individuals who are proficient in as many programming languages as possible. Structured query language (SQL), as an adopted standard, is no exception, as it is the most widely used query language to retrieve and manipulate data. However, the process of learning SQL turns out to be challenging. The need for a…

Wang, Zhe; Adesope, Olusola – Educational Technology & Society, 2017
Research on the seductive details effect on reading expository texts in multimedia learning environments has grown over the past few decades. However, less is known when seductive details are encountered in learning through worked-examples to solve problems. Thus, it is necessary to examine the seductive details effect when solving problems in a…

Scoular, Claire; Care, Esther; Awwal, Nafisa – Electronic Journal of e-Learning, 2017
With technological advances, it is now possible to use games to capture information-rich behaviours that reveal processes by which players interact and solve problems. Recent problem-based games have been designed to assess and record detailed interactions between the problem solver and the game environment, and thereby capture salient solution…

Susac, Ana; Bubic, Andreja; Martinjak, Petra; Planinic, Maja; Palmovic, Marijan – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2017
Developing a better understanding of the measurement process and measurement uncertainty is one of the main goals of university physics laboratory courses. This study investigated the influence of graphical representation of data on student understanding and interpreting of measurement results. A sample of 101 undergraduate students (48 first year…

Patterson, Fiona; Zibarras, Lara Dawn – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2017
The ability to innovate is an important requirement in many organisations. Despite this pressing need, few selection systems in healthcare focus on identifying the potential for creativity and innovation and so this area has been vastly under-researched. As a first step towards understanding how we might select for creativity and innovation, this…

Kuzle, Ana – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2017
Students regularly struggle with mathematical tasks, particularly those concerning non-routine problems in geometry. Although educators would like for their learners to transfer their knowledge to non-routine and real-life situations, students run into a number of difficulties. The goal of this exploratory study was to analyze three participants'…

González, Gloriana; Eli, Jennifer A. – Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education, 2017
Launching a problem is critical in a problem-based lesson. We investigated teachers' perspectives on the use of a problem that was analogous to the one provided during a launch. Our goal was to identify teachers' underlying assumptions regarding what should constitute a launch as elements of the "practical rationality of mathematics…

Accardo, Amy L.; Kuder, S. Jay – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2017
Mr. Perez and Mrs. Peterson co-teach a ninth-grade algebra class. Perez and Peterson's class includes four students with individualized education programs (IEPs). In response to legislation, such as the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act (2001) and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (2006), an increasing number of students…

Herborn, Katharina; Mustafic, Maida; Greiff, Samuel – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2017
Collaborative problem solving (CPS) assessment is a new academic research field with a number of educational implications. In 2015, the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) assessed CPS with a computer-simulated human-agent (H-A) approach that claimed to measure 12 individual CPS skills for the first time. After reviewing the…

Guirguis, Ruth; Pankowski, Jennifer – Journal of Education and Training Studies, 2017
The purpose of this meta-analysis was to explore in detail the research by Hattie (2009) in order to then re-examine it through a new lens and better understand the research and possible bias. For this study, the unit of analysis were the studies used in Hattie (2009). The criteria for inclusion were based on strategies currently implemented in…

Nghia, Tran Le Huu – Journal of Teaching and Learning for Graduate Employability, 2017
Developing generic skills (GS) for students has become central in many higher education curricula in recent times. However, there is still a lack of studies regarding how these skills are developed for students, especially in developing countries. Drawing from a PhD study, this paper reports the contribution of extra-curricular activities in…

Nabaho, Lazarus – Tuning Journal for Higher Education, 2017
Ordinarily, higher education should transform the student. Transformation refers to the development of high order subject and generic competences as a consequence of the university experience. The current discourse on generic competences, especially in the African context, focuses largely on the end (generic competences to be developed) rather…

Makonye, Judah P. – Pythagoras, 2017
The general public consumes financial products such as loans that are administered in the realm of nominal and effective interest rates. It is debatable if most consumers really understand how these rates function. This article explores the conceptions that student teachers have about nominal and effective interest rates. The APOS theory…
