Wynn, Donald, Jr. – Information Systems Education Journal, 2018
This case describes a real-world scenario based on a fictional new commuter airline seeking to develop a database to support their operations. Students are asked to design and develop a database to allow the airline to track flights, passengers, bookings, and more, based on a set of business rules, default data, and other requirements. The case…

Wirth, Robert; Janczyk, Markus; Kunde, Wilfried – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
Actions aim to produce effects in the environment. To accomplish this properly, we not only have to recruit the appropriate motor patterns, but also we must be able to monitor whether an intended effect has ultimately been realized. Here, we investigated the impact of such effect monitoring on performance in multitasking situations: Multitasking…

Mitrofanova, Natalia – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2018
The article focuses on the omission of locative prepositions in child Russian. We report on two experiments: a production task and a comprehension task. Results from the elicited production task show that the majority of 2- and a minority of 3-year-olds (i) omit locative prepositions at nonnegligible rates, and (ii) do not conform to targetlike…

Wiley, Jennifer; Jaeger, Allison J.; Griffin, Thomas D. – Grantee Submission, 2018
Starting with early research on multiple source comprehension that primarily emerged from work in history, researchers have explored several types of instructional manipulations including altering the features of the inquiry task that is given (such as being asked to write a narrative or an argument); changing features of the task environment…

Lee, Hwa Young; Hardison, Hamilton L.; Paoletti, Teo – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2018
Conventional coordinate systems are often considered representational tools for reasoning about mathematical concepts. However, researchers have shown that students experience persistent difficulties as they engage in graphing activity. Using examples from research and textbooks, we present a framework based on a conceptual analysis of the use of…

Inga Biscevic; Arnela Pasalic; Haris Memisevic – Problems of Education in the 21st Century, 2018
Semantic fluency (SF) is a suitable indicator of preschool verbal abilities and can be used as a predictor of later school success. This research examined the effects of executive functions (EF) and theory of mind (TOM) on semantic fluency in preschool children. Dimensional Card Sorting test was used as an instrument of executive functions and the…

Gross, Megan C.; Kaushanskaya, Margarita – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: The current study examined language control and code-switching in bilingual children with developmental language disorder (DLD) compared to bilingual peers with typical language development (TLD). In addition, proficiency in each language and cognitive control skills were examined as predictors of children's tendency to engage in…

Inpanich, Pipittaporn; Somphong, Monnipha – English Language Teaching, 2022
This study aimed to investigate the effects of the integration of indirect feedback and concordances on improving grammatical accuracy in Thai EFL undergraduate students' writing and to explore the students' perceptions toward the intervention. Thirty third-year undergraduate students who studied at a government university in Bangkok were the…

Zhao, Fengping – Science Insights Education Frontiers, 2022
In the context of China's social transformation and educational reform, addressing the problems of fragmented and ineffective learning in traditional teaching modes and enhancing students' academic levels and developing their comprehensive abilities through structured classroom learning have become critical issues in educational reform. The…

Cho, Hyejin; Kim, YouJin; Park, Seyoung – Language Awareness, 2022
The present study examined students' attention to linguistic forms during writing tasks and compared individual and collaborative writing conditions. Furthermore, the ways students in both conditions process indirect synchronous written corrective feedback (SWCF) and the ways they respond to it (i.e., uptake) were investigated. The target…

Ling, Wenyi; Grüter, Theres – Second Language Research, 2022
Successful listening in a second language (L2) involves learning to identify the relevant acoustic-phonetic dimensions that differentiate between words in the L2, and then use these cues to access lexical representations during real-time comprehension. This is a particularly challenging goal to achieve when the relevant acoustic-phonetic…

Sung, Min-Chang; Kim, Hyunwoo – Second Language Research, 2022
How strongly a verb is associated with a construction plays a crucial role in the learning of argument structure constructions. We examined the effect of verb-construction association strength on second language (L2) constructional generalization by analysing L2 learners' production and comprehension of two complex constructions (i.e. ditransitive…

Wang, Si; Andrews, Glenda; Pendergast, Donna; Neumann, David; Chen, Yulu; Shum, David H. K. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2022
To date, cross-cultural studies on Theory of Mind (ToM) have predominantly focused on preschoolers. This study focuses on middle childhood, comparing two samples of mainland Chinese (n = 126) and Australian (n = 83) children aged between 5.5 and 12 years. Strange Stories, the most commonly used measure of ToM, was employed. The study aimed to…

Ng-Knight, Terry; Gilligan-Lee, Katie A.; Massonnié, Jessica; Gaspard, Hanna; Gooch, Debbie; Querstret, Dawn; Johnstone, Nicola – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Emerging evidence suggests interventions can improve childhood self-regulation. One intervention approach that has shown promise is Taekwondo martial arts instruction, though little is known about its acceptability among stakeholders or its mechanisms of effect. We extend evidence on Taekwondo interventions in three ways: (1) testing the efficacy…

Vasylets, Olena; Mellado, M. Dolores; Plonsky, Luke – Studies in Second Language Learning and Teaching, 2022
It is unknown whether and to what extent cognitive individual differences may play different roles in paper versus computer-based second language (L2) writing. This exploratory study is a first attempt to explore this issue, focusing on the effects of working memory and language aptitude on the quality of paper versus computer-based L2 writing…
