Research on dyscalculia has focused almost exclusively on elementary-aged students' deficits in speed and accuracy in arithmetic calculation. This case study expands our understanding of dyscalculia by documenting how one college student with dyscalculia understood algebra during a one-on-one design experiment. A detailed case study of 19 video…

As learners engage, test, and apply new subject knowledge, they often expend their cognitive capacity on the technological tools designed to capture their learning progress and outcomes. The energy and attention spent on these tools reduces their capacity to engage deeply with new learning concepts. Digital literacy skills require both cognitive…

In this study, it is aimed to determine the algebraic thinking habits of two eighth grade school students through the answers they gave in the process of solving mathematical problems. The algebraic habits of mind (ZCA) theoretical framework developed by Driscoll (1999) was used to reveal these thinking habits. The research design of this study is…

We examined how high school students use their cognitive and metacognitive skills in the geometry problem-solving process. This research employed a mixed-methods descriptive sequential design. Data were collected in the 2019-2020 academic year at secondary education institutions in the central districts of Adana, Türkiye. Using stratified…

A model of cognition and a construct, such as a concept map (Wilson, 2009), is critical in designing assessments of that construct. The Knowledge, Skills and Abilities (KSAs) in the construct must be put to use in order to assess what test takers know and can do (National Research Council, 2001). In order to validate a construct map for graphic…

As large-scale, sophisticated open and distance learning environments expand in higher education globally, so does the need to support learning at scale in real time. Valid, reliable rubrics of critical discourse are an essential foundation for developing artificial intelligence tools that automatically analyse learning in educator-student…

Realistic visualizations are abundantly used in digital education. However, the use of realism is still thought to risk a cognitive overload due to excessive details. Moreover, it is still not precisely known whether there is an optimal level of realism that benefits learners the most. In two experimental studies, different versions of anatomical…

The relationship between digital games and the mobilization of cognitive and metacognitive learning strategies deserves attention and needs research that contributes to the understanding of how these strategies can favor the teaching and learning processes. This study describes how university students over 18 years of age mobilize cognitive and…

Personalized sequencing and recommendation of pedagogical actions in virtual learning environments are relevant aspects in promoting an effective learning process with computer-aided support. Hence, this work investigates the use of automated planning to sequence these actions according to student profiles. Actions are modeled to correspond to the…

Bloom's taxonomy is a classification of learning objectives originally developed for general educational purposes. The taxonomy was revised to expand beyond cognitive processes and to include knowledge types as an orthogonal dimension. As Bloom's taxonomy is a tool widely used in biology education by researchers and instructors, it is important to…

The aim of this study was to test, amongst less experienced pilots, the relationship between the recency of flight experience and performance during a critical in-flight event. It was hypothesised that, in response to an engine failure, recent flight experience would be associated with a superior level of aircraft control, decreased cognitive…

The aim of this study is to explore the computational thinking (CT) processes of university students with the integration of CAS and ACODESA method within the context of problem-solving. The participants of the study are 22 university students. The embedded design was used in the study. The qualitative data consists of the written products of the…

Research suggests that tasks that use technology as a reorganizer (technology is used to produce dynamic representations) are linked with the development of students' conceptual knowledge, yet many secondary mathematics textbooks in the USA predominantly include tasks that use technology as an amplifier (technology is used to produce static…

Currently, many relevant problems about intuitive imagination literacy have been studied except the cognitive degree of pre-service high school mathematics teachers about it. To address this gap, this study investigates 51 pre-service high school mathematics teachers. Results showed that: (1) The cognitive scope of them about intuitive imagination…

Virtual faces have been found to be rated less human-like and remembered worse than photographic images of humans. What it is in virtual faces that yields reduced memory has so far remained unclear. The current study investigated face memory in the context of virtual agent faces and human faces, real and manipulated, considering two factors of…
