Studying texts constitutes a significant part of student learning in health professions education. Key to learning from text is the ability to effectively monitor one's own cognitive performance and take appropriate regulatory steps for improvement. Inferential cues generated during a learning experience typically guide this monitoring process. It…

Purpose: This study aims to describe and evaluate various visual and creative tools for supporting the in-depth biographical interview aimed at analyzing educational communities and their stakeholders. Design/methodology/approach: Researching educational spaces today requires new ways of understanding, analyzing and studying. The complex…

This study examined the visual design processes and strategies used by design experts and non-design college students when composing an infographic. All participants created an infographic on a personal computer and were asked to think aloud as they performed the task. The goal was to identify differences in the strategies utilised to produce…

The development of metaknowledge about models (MKM) and metaknowledge about the modelling process (MKP) are important in pre-service science teachers (PSTs) education. MKM refers to knowledge about the model's entities and its purposes, while MKP refers to knowledge about the components and structure of the modelling process. Assessing MKM and MKP…

With math scores stagnating in the United States and achievement gaps widening between demographic groups, improving student outcomes is imperative. Previous studies have shown that using visual representations to teach math concepts has been shown to be an effective component of equitable elementary math teaching. This action research study…

Cued Speech is a system that manually codes the phonemic patterns of spoken languages for visual accessibility. Since its inception, this system has transitioned from a support for speech reading to the current use of home language and literacy development. While controversial in some sectors within the field of Deaf education and the Deaf…

Visual notetaking has gained prominence in education due to its benefits in capturing information effectively. However, there is limited research on the neural and cognitive mechanisms involved in this way of taking notes. Therefore, to fill this research gap, this within-subject experimental study aimed to use an electroencephalogram (EEG) to…

This study investigated how emotion could enhance the effectiveness of a digital training game in improving the cognitive skill of shifting. Participants were randomly assigned to either an emotionally-positive visual design of the game, featuring warm colors, round shapes, and high-intensity character expressions, or an emotionally-neutral…

Curriculum-based measurement (CBM) represents a critical strategy for data-based decisionmaking within educational settings. Visual analysis is frequently used to analyze CBM data; thus, CBM vendors often automatically generate graphs based on student data to facilitate analysis. Differences in graph formatting are apparent across CBM vendors, and…

We examined whether visual disfluency, as elicited by presenting text on flickering slides, affects learning positively and the global judgment of learning (JOL) negatively. Participants (N = 202 in Experiment 1, between-subjects design; N = 53 in Experiment 2, within-subjects design) saw in an online session multiple slides including textual…

This phenomenology research aims to examine prospective elementary mathematics teachers' proving and proof evaluation and their thoughts on convincing according to proof type and argument type. The participants were eight prospective teachers. The data collection tools were semi-structured group interviews, interviews video recordings and the…

This study examines the visual design processes and strategies used by graphic design experts and non-design college students when applying visual design principles to compose an infographic. The focus is on the visual design stage, often reported as challenging for adult and young students (e.g., Fragou & Papadopoulou, 2020; O'Mahony et al.,…

Auxiliary Tanabe-Sugano diagrams are presented. They enable a rapid and reliable graphical derivation of Dq/B and C/B crystal field parameter ratios from spectroscopic data. Using these values, one can calculate Dq and B by employing the original Tanabe-Sugano diagrams. Subsequently, C can also be calculated irrespective of the value C/B fixed in…

The purpose of this research is to develop the use of Virtual Reality (VR) and fieldwork with teenagers in two compulsory schools in the capital city area of Iceland. The study aims to understand how teenagers succeed in an enquiry driven work combining simple digital tools, such as mobile phones, when making 360° photos, analysing opportunities…

Background/purpose: Positioned within the Australian context, this study explores the experiences of mentor teachers using professional standard-informed Conversation Cards to support the professional growth of pre-service teachers. With a particular focus on practical solutions, the research investigates the opportunities and challenges mentor…
