Gorney, Kylie; Wollack, James A. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2022
Detection methods for item preknowledge are often evaluated in simulation studies where models are used to generate the data. To ensure the reliability of such methods, it is crucial that these models are able to accurately represent situations that are encountered in practice. The purpose of this article is to provide a critical analysis of…

Witherby, Amber E.; Carpenter, Shana K.; Smith, Andrew M. – Metacognition and Learning, 2023
Prior knowledge is often strongly related to students' learning. In the present research, we explored the relationship between prior knowledge and the accuracy of students' predictive monitoring judgments (judgments of learning; JOLs) and postdictive monitoring judgments (confidence judgments). In four experiments, students completed prior…

Sharleen Flowers; Kal H. Holder; Gabrielle K. Rump; Stephanie M. Gardner – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2023
Explaining biological phenomena requires understanding how different processes function and describing interactions between components at various levels of organization over time and space in biological systems. This is a desired competency yet is a complicated and often challenging task for undergraduate biology students. Therefore, we need a…

Simon Reinwald; Silvia Annen – SAGE Open, 2023
The intersectionality framework allows for the combination of formerly additive individual characteristics into intersectional profiles of employees in order to prioritize and direct further education investments. A k-medoid technique creates these profiles from the large-scale sample of the German National Educational Panel Study. A specific…

Brown, Bobby A. – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Academic advisors are crucial to the success of students who attend higher education institutions (e.g., Himes, 2014; Paul & Fitzpatrick, 2015; Smith, 2005). They guide students to complete their degrees in a timely progression and serve as a contact for students to help increase a sense of belonging on college campuses. Higher education…

Kirsten A. Davis; David B. Knight – Journal of Engineering Education, 2025
Background: As more universities seek to offer international experiences for engineering students, it is important to design such programs to effectively support student learning abroad. Previous research on study abroad has focused on a limited number of outcomes and therefore failed to consider the diversity of experiences students may have in…

Dianne G. Delima – Active Learning in Higher Education, 2025
To explore the ways in which the learning and understanding of diversity course subject matter happen, this manuscript interviews and observed the experiences of 10 first-generation college students of color and their teachers from two diversity courses. Findings show that participants drew from their classmates' prior knowledge and experiences to…

Bradley Graeme Welch; Juan Carlos Ponce Campuzano – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
In this paper, we explore how the typical second year undergraduate topic of matrix diagonalisation can be applied to solve a geometric problem which arises frequently in Vector Calculus: to find the curve of intersection of a plane and a surface. We use GeoGebra, which offers a cost-free and dynamic interface, to explore a specific variant of…

Keiichi Kobayashi – Educational Psychology Review, 2024
This study was conducted to meta-analytically investigate the influence of teaching vs. no teaching expectancy on the learning effects of teaching after preparatory learning. A meta-analysis of 39 studies revealed that a weighted mean effect size for the effect of teaching after studying with or without teaching expectancy vs. merely studying…

Ruth Wattenberg – State Education Standard, 2024
The surge of support for the science of reading is cause for great cheer. According to the Albert Shanker Institute, 45 states and the District of Columbia have passed laws since 2019 to shift reading instruction based on what research says works. These laws often explicitly call for teaching phonics, phonemic awareness, and other skills that…

Zachary T. Barnes; Kelly B. Cartwright – Intervention in School and Clinic, 2024
Comprehending texts in content areas can be challenging for students with learning disabilities (LD) because they may lack the necessary background and vocabulary knowledge needed to construct meaning from text. As more students with LD are educated in the general education classroom, it is necessary for teachers to implement strategies to…

Erica Collette Dinnocenzo – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Preschool teachers are an essential part of the education system in the United Sates. The problem is that research and data about the development of literacy skills exist for kindergarten and upper grades, but there is minimal research on preschool teachers' perceptions on the development of literacy skills in a play-based learning environment.…

Sjors Verstege; Yingbin Zhang; Peter Wierenga; Luc Paquette; Julia Diederen – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2024
In natural science education, experiments often lead to the collection of raw data that need to be processed into results by doing calculations. Teaching students how to approach such calculations can be done using digital learning materials that provide guidance. The goal of this study was to investigate students' behaviour regarding the use of…
