Willett, Ciara Louise – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Understanding when it is appropriate to make causal inferences from a statistical result is a fundamental skill for science literacy. Prior research has concentrated on erroneous causal judgments about observational studies, but there is little research on whether people understand that experiments provide stronger justification for causal claims.…

Brand, Charleen; Hartmann, Christian; Loibl, Katharina; Rummel, Nikol – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
Productive Failure (PF) is an instructional design that implements a problem-solving phase which aims at preparing students for learning from a subsequent instruction. PF has been shown to facilitate students' conceptual knowledge acquisition in the mathematical domain. Collaboration has been described as a vital design component of PF, but…

Claire Wladis; Benjamin Sencindiver; Kathleen Offenholley – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2023
Here we investigate how college students may conceptualize symbolic algebraic properties. This work uses the theory of Grundvorstellungen (GVs) to analyze how learners' conceptions may or may not align with some desired goals of instruction. Through the analysis of interviews with students across a variety of courses, we describe several…

Ring, Malte; Brahm, Taiga; Richter, Juliane; Scheiter, Katharina; Randler, Christoph – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2022
Integrating multiple representations into a coherent mental model is one of the challenges when learning with multimedia. In this experimental study (N = 173), we examined how highlighting corresponding information in text-graph learning material can help higher education students to make the necessary connections and improve learning outcomes in…

Yim, Jaehoon; Lee, Hyung Sook – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
Research has identified some sources of student difficulty in understanding the horizontal translation of a function. The present study presents and focuses on another source for the difficulties: student conceptions of symbols involved in the horizontal translation of the graph of a function. We explored which student conceptions of the symbols…

Ivy, Jessica; Caudill, Cara; Wheeler, Winn – Kappa Delta Pi Record, 2022
While mathematics and reading instruction share an emphasis on vocabulary, strategies may seem in conflict. Use the strategies presented here for connecting new learning to previous knowledge and experiences and providing meaningful paths for students' vocabulary development in the mathematics classroom.

Lalchandani, Lakshmi A.; Healy, Alice F. – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2022
There are three unique cognitive mechanisms during note taking: generative processing, summarization, and sustained attention. Generative processing is active construction of associations between novel information and prior knowledge and experiences. Summarization forces identification of the most pertinent information to create a coherent…

Richter, Juliane; Wehrle, Amelie; Scheiter, Katharina – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2021
In multimedia learning, graphs are seen as just one specific instance of pictorial representations requiring the same cognitive processes as realistic depictions. Accordingly, learning from text-graph combinations should also benefit from the same instructional support such as signaling of text-picture correspondences depending on learners' prior…

Patrick Kuok Kun Chu – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2025
Statistics knowledge, literacy, and skills are vital to undergraduates' academic and professional careers. Students' attitudes toward statistics play a vital role in their understanding of the importance of statistics. Therefore, it is important to examine their attitude toward statistics. This study investigated the attitude of 153 business…

Clara L. Meaders; Lilyan Mendez; Alfonso Godínez Aguilar; Angelita T. Rivera; Izabella Vasquez; Liam O. Mueller; Melinda T. Owens – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2025
Introductory biology is a gateway course for majors and other science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Despite the importance of chemistry content knowledge for understanding biology, the relationship between chemistry knowledge and prior coursework and biology course performance is understudied. We used an opportunity…

Ning Zou; Xiaohan Zhang; Jianan Lou; Jing Liao; Chunlei Chai – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2024
Design processes can be decomposed into several steps, including information acquisition and application. Retrieving prior knowledge and experience is an important method of acquiring design information, thus designers' precedents retrieval styles reflect their design thinking. The obvious difference between industrial (ID) and mechanical design…

Emiliano Foresto; Fiorela Nievas; Walter Giordano; Pablo Bogino – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
The curriculum for undergraduate Agricultural Engineering does not usually include much laboratory practice. In order to address this, here we propose the design of a practical class on legume-rhizobia symbiosis, using an interdisciplinary approach that takes elements from botany, agriculture, and microbiology. The students perform an assay to…

Helen Pokorny – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2024
The Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a process by which achievements gained through work or other experiences can be formally recognised and accredited in higher education. It has a role to play in providing accelerated routes for mature students and is particularly relevant to part-time learners. Despite studies showing the potential…

Objective: While flipped classroom instruction has repeatedly shown efficacy in undergraduate medical education, evidence for its utility in procedural domains remains sparse. This holds particular significance for surgical subspecialties such as otolaryngology, which have limited time in undergraduate medical curricula. We designed a novel airway…

Amanda Grenell; Jasmine R. Ernst; Stephanie M. Carlson – Early Education and Development, 2024
"Research Findings:" Early science skills predict later science achievement, and persistent achievement gaps in science appear as early as preschool. The current study compared the effectiveness of different instructional approaches for teaching preschoolers about sinking and floating and examined individual differences in learning.…
