Fiorella, Logan – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2021
Learning by teaching can be effective, yet many students fail to engage in knowledge building, in which they actively generate inferences and connect the material to their existing knowledge. Recent research suggests creating drawings while orally explaining to others fosters knowledge building and long-term learning; however, the mechanisms…

Prestowitz, Luke C. O.; Emery, Jonathan D.; Huang, Jiaxing – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Writing instruments, such as pens, are ubiquitous in the classroom, but their functionality is largely for one purpose: they are used to represent ideas and record information on paper. However, by replacing the conventional ink in a pen with easy-to-synthesize conducting polymer-based inks, it is possible to change a simple writing utensil into a…

Kuzle, Ana; Gracin, Dubravka Glasnovic – LUMAT: International Journal on Math, Science and Technology Education, 2021
Over the last twenty years, visual methods in childhood research have become more mainstream across social science research. Through this paradigm shift, children became active agents in the research process. Participant-produced drawings in particular allow a constructive process of thinking in action, rather than seeing drawings as simple…

Eberbach, Catherine; Hmelo-Silver, Cindy E.; Jordan, Rebecca; Taylor, Joseph; Hunter, Roberta – Science Education, 2021
This study examines how middle school students develop an increasingly coherent understanding of aquatic ecosystems. As part of a broader design research study that used Structure-Behavior-Function (SBF) theory as an organizing conceptual representation, we created two instructional units that focused on pond and aquarium environments. We coded…

Cartwright, Katherin; Bobis, Janette; Way, Jennifer – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2021
In sharing solutions of mathematical tasks, students may use various modes of representation such as: language (oral/written), numerical and symbolic, or drawings (pictures, diagrams or markings). In this paper we explore the potential of student drawings to provide evidence of mathematical fluency. Examples of young students' (5-8 years old)…

Eka Ariyati; Herawati Susilo; Hadi Suwono; Fatchur Rohman – Pegem Journal of Education and Instruction, 2024
The perceptions of students who study environmental science related to pollution are certainly different because they are influenced by various circumstances. These circumstances, among others, depend on what they observe around them and their prior knowledge. This study aimed to determine the concept of pollution according to the cognitive…

Shinta Estri Wahyuningrum; Gilles van Luijtelaar; Augustina Sulastri; Marc P. H. Hendriks; Ridwan Sanjaya; Tom Heskes – SAGE Open, 2024
Visual Reproduction is a condition to measure Visual Spatial Memory as one of the cognitive domains commonly used to measure visuo-spatial memory. Geometric figures serve as stimulus material, and probands have to reproduce the figures from memory through a hand drawing. The scoring of the drawing has subjective elements. This study aims to…

Stryker, Rachael; Kokushkin, Vladislav; Norton, Anderson; Kerrigan, Sarah – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2022
This study examined the role of student generated drawings to offload cognitive demands of a mathematical problem. We used Unit Transformation Graphs to compare students' thought processes when they had to solve the problem mentally, and when they were allowed to use pen and paper. The results indicated that the possibility to rely on drawings…
