Kiili, Carita; Räikkönen, Eija; Bråten, Ivar; Strømsø, Helge I.; Hagerman, Michelle Schira – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2023
Background: Previous research indicates that students lack sufficient online credibility evaluation skills. However, the results are fragmented and difficult to compare as they are based on different types of measures and indicators. Consequently, there is no clear understanding of the structure of credibility evaluation. Objectives: The present…

Aranda, Maurina L.; Lie, Richard; Selcen Guzey, S. – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2020
Recent education reforms highlight the importance of engineering design as a tool to improve student science learning in this new view of K-12 science education. However, little research has investigated the thought processes students use while engaging in the highly complex activity of design. Therefore, building on theories of productive…

Yang, Der-Ching; Sianturi, Iwan Andi J. – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2019
Judging the reasonableness of computational results is pivotal for students to understand mathematical concepts. This domain is the most sensitive to the presence of misconceptions in mathematics. Confidence ratings can serve as a measure of the strength of students' conceptual understanding. This study investigated the performance,…

Engelen, Jan A. A.; Camp, Gino; van de Pol, Janneke; de Bruin, Anique B. H. – Metacognition and Learning, 2018
We investigated intra-individual monitoring and regulation in learning from text in sixth-grade students and their teachers. In Experiment 1, students provided judgments of learning (JOLs) for six texts in one of three cue-prompt conditions (after writing delayed keywords or summaries or without a cue prompt) and then selected texts for restudy.…

Xiao, Sihan; Sandoval, William A. – Science & Education, 2017
Science educators are typically dismayed by the failure of students to use relevant scientific knowledge when reasoning about socioscientific issues. Except for the well-documented association between having more knowledge about a topic and a tendency to use that knowledge, the influences on students' evaluation of information in socioscientific…
