Requena, Pablo E. – Journal of Child Language, 2021
Previous comprehension studies using Picture Matching Tasks (PMT) have shown that, by the age of four, Spanish-speaking children have acquired the semantics of "estar" being able to calculate the implicature that a property introduced with "estar" does not hold independent of time as well as displaying some ability to integrate…

Becker, Christoph K.; Ert, Eyal; Trautmann, Stefan T.; van de Kuilen, Gijs – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
Risky decisions are often characterized by (a) imprecision about consequences and their likelihoods that can be reduced by information collection, and by (b) unavoidable background risk. This article addresses both aspects by eliciting risk attitude, prudence, and temperance in decisions from description and decisions from experience. The results…

Gönül, Gökhan; Tsalas, Nike; Paulus, Markus – Metacognition and Learning, 2021
The effect of time pressure on metacognitive control is of theoretical and empirical relevance and is likely to allow us to tap into developmental differences in performances which do not become apparent otherwise, as previous studies suggest. In the present study, we investigated the effect of time pressure on metacognitive control in three age…

Convertini, Josephine – Education Sciences, 2021
Argumentation is an important aspect in the field of education because of its impact on learning processes. At the same time, argumentation is a complex activity in terms of cognitive, relational, emotional and social dynamics. In this paper, I investigate and I describe possible difficulties encountered by children during the argumentative…

Suazo-Flores, Elizabeth; Roetker, Lisa – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2021
Tasks involving real-world contexts offer opportunities for teachers to engage students in mathematical practices (Standards for Mathematical Practice; NGA Center and CCSSO 2010). The practice of reasoning abstractly and quantitatively requires students to decontextualize and contextualize a task. Decontextualizing a task involves representing it…

Hong, Dae S.; Runnalls, Cristina – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
The purpose of this work was to explore how elementary pre-service' teachers (PSTs) responded to a volume task that asked for a coordination of changes in one dimension with changes in volume. We carried out both written pre-assessments and follow-up interviews with seventeen PSTs, focused on exploring volume content knowledge. Our findings…

Orrill, Chandra Hawley; Millett, John E. – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2021
The purpose of this study was to investigate how teachers understand one specific aspect of proportional reasoning. We were interested in understanding the extent to which practicing teachers were able to make sense of reasoning that involved the fixed number of variable-sized parts perspective. We used two items, drawn from a larger dataset, that…

López Assef, Belén; Desmeules-Trudel, Félix; Bernard, Amélie; Zamuner, Tania S. – Child Development, 2021
Research has found mixed evidence for the production effect in childhood. Some studies have found a positive effect of production on word recognition and recall, while others have found the reverse. This paper takes a developmental approach to investigate the production effect. Children aged 2-6 years (n = 150) from a predominantly white…

van der Linde, Diane; Voogt, Joke; van Aar, Nicole – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2021
In this study we analysed what computational thinking skills pupils used when programming a small robot to solve a given problem, a simple programming task in which pupils had to select codes and put them in the correct place. Computational thinking is the process of (re)formulating a problem so that it becomes possible to use computer technology…

Kranz, David; Schween, Michael; Graulich, Nicole – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2023
Reaction mechanisms are a core component of organic chemistry. Being able to handle these mechanisms is a central skill for students in this discipline. Diagnosing and fostering mechanistic reasoning is hence an important branch of chemistry education research. When it comes to reasoning about mechanisms, students often experience difficulties…

Albarqi, Ghadah; Tavakoli, Parvaneh – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2023
The current study examined the effects of task condition (TC; single vs. dual) and proficiency level (PL) on self-monitoring of second language (L2) speakers. Data were collected from sixty-six female L2 learners of English performing two speaking tasks under two task conditions. While performance in the single-task condition involved only…

Matos, Alexandre; Santos, Vanda; B. Neto, Teresa – Open Education Studies, 2023
This article presents the analysis and discussion of solving geometry tasks by Portuguese Basic Education students, using material from the Poly-UNiverse in Teacher Training Education (PUNTE) project. The teaching experience developed was aimed at testing and disseminating new resources, and innovative and transdisciplinary methodologies in the…

Martinez, Ruth Maria; Goad, Heather; Dow, Michael – Second Language Research, 2023
Feature-based approaches to acquisition principally focus on second language (L2) learners' ability to perceive non-native consonants when the features required are either contrastively present or entirely absent from the first language (L1) grammar. As features may function contrastively or allophonically in the consonant and/or vowel systems of…

Rooha, Aysha; Anil, Malavika Anakkathil; Bhat, Jayashree S.; Bajaj, Gagan; Deshpande, Apramita – Communication Disorders Quarterly, 2023
The lack of research exploring the influence of dynamic visual narratives on inference skills prompted the present study with an aim to profile the inference skills in school children between the ages of 6 years and 9 years 11 months using dynamic visual narratives. A total of 80 participants were considered for the study. An animated story was…

Aalto, Eija; Saaristo-Helin, Katri; Stolt, Suvi – First Language, 2023
The association between pre-reading skills and phonological production skills has been shown at school age, but less is known about how these skills interact at an earlier age when they are just developing. The focus was to investigate whether a connection between pre-reading skills (letter naming, rapid automatised naming; RAN) and phonological…
