Moreno-Arotzena, Oihana; Pombar-Hospitaler, Ion; Barragués, José Ignacio – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2021
The aim of this research is to study how students recognise the concept of gradient of a function of two variables in its different representations and how they make conversions between these representations. Three groups of university students with different profiles took part in this research, and Duval's theory of semiotic representations was…

Waldeyer, Julia; Roelle, Julian – Metacognition and Learning, 2021
Prompting learners to generate keywords after a delay is a promising means to enhance relative judgment accuracy in learning from texts. However, to date, conceptual replications of the keyword effect without the involvement of the researcher who originally proposed it are still scarce. Furthermore, it is unclear whether generating delayed…

Research into second language (L2) reading is an exponentially growing field. Yet, it still has a relatively short supply of comparable, ecologically valid data from readers representing a variety of first languages (L1). This article addresses this need by presenting a new data resource called "MECO L2" (Multilingual Eye Movements…

Awaah, Fred; Okebukola, Peter; Shabani, Juma; Arkorful, Helen; Addo, Dorcas Adomaa – Higher Education, Skills and Work-based Learning, 2023
Purpose: Students' career choices and programmes of study are perceived to influence student understanding of many courses. Yet, research attention is limited on entrepreneurship education that is a panacea for unemployment. Thus, this paper aims to assess the influence of students' career interests on students' comprehension of the…

Ricci, Kyra; McLauchlin, Benjamin; Hua, Jessica – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2023
Art is a common approach for communicating and educating about science, yet it remains unclear the extent to which science art can benefit varied audiences in varied contexts. To examine this gap, we developed an art exhibit based on the findings of two publications in disease ecology. In study 1, we asked visitors with varying formal science,…

Du, Guohui; Man, Deliang – Asia-Pacific Education Researcher, 2023
Listening is an essential and challenging language skill to acquire when we learn a new language, but L2 listening has received much less attention than reading, writing, and speaking in L2 teaching. This study investigated the direct effect of listening self-efficacy and metacognition on L2 listening comprehension and tested the mediating effect…

Rzeszutko, Ryan; James, Dwayne T.; Petrie, Jennifer – ProQuest LLC, 2023
The typical collegiate introductory statistics course poses significant challenges for students. Many do not fully comprehend key course skills, and it is common for students to exit the class with a neutral or negative attitude toward statistics. To measure the impact of using relevant contextual examples as an instructional strategy during a…

Zhang, Shirong; de Koning, Bjorn B.; Paas, Fred – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2022
We investigated whether finger pointing can be used as a cognitive load self-management strategy when learning from split-attention examples. We expected that pointing would reduce cognitive load and enhance learning performance. In a guided self-management phase, 122 university students studied a split-attention example under three pointing…
