Yuliana, Ivo; Cahyono, Muhamad Edi; Widodo, Wahono; Irwanto, Irwanto – Eurasian Journal of Educational Research, 2021
Purpose: Scientific literacy plays an important role in catalyzing science learning in the 21st century. Unfortunately, previous evidence revealed that students' scientific literacy tends to be unsatisfactory. This study investigated the effect of ethnoscience-themed picture books embedded in context-based learning (EthCBL) on students' scientific…

Anahid S. Modrek; Tania Lombrozo – Cognitive Science, 2024
How does the act of explaining influence learning? Prior work has studied effects of explaining through a predominantly proximal lens, measuring short-term outcomes or manipulations within lab settings. Here, we ask whether the benefits of explaining extend to academic performance over time. Specifically, does the quality and frequency of student…
