Siu, Tik-Sze Carrey; Cheung, Him – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2019
This study establishes a sequence of developing mental state understandings in infants. We used three violation-of-expectation paradigms to assess fifty-seven 16-month-olds' ability to (a) infer an actress's intention from her prior repeated approaches to an object, (b) recognize her emotion by watching her facial-emotional display, and (c) deduce…

Lam, Paul; Lau, Carmen K. M.; Chan, Chi Him – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2019
The flipped classroom approach is widely regarded to be able to enhance teaching and learning. Despite its many advantages, it is still in the early stage of implementing in Hong Kong. This may be due to the potential challenges such as learners' limited participation and adaptation problems. The purpose of this article is to discuss the…

Huang, Xiaoting; Wilson, Mark; Wang, Lei – Educational Psychology, 2016
In recent years, large-scale international assessments have been increasingly used to evaluate and compare the quality of education across regions and countries. However, measurement variance between different versions of these assessments often posts threats to the validity of such cross-cultural comparisons. In this study, we investigated the…

Mok, Francis K. T.; Yuen, Timothy W. W. – Citizenship, Social and Economics Education, 2016
There is a strong belief that critical thinking should be cultivated in schools. But it is not clear how critical thinking is understood by front-line teachers who are given the responsibility of training critical thinkers. Based on a study conducted in Hong Kong, we found that some school teachers were in favor of a "positive" image of…

L2 Fluency as Influenced by Content Familiarity and Planning: Performance, Measurement, and Pedagogy
Bui, Gavin; Huang, Zeping – Language Teaching Research, 2018
This study investigates how second language (L2) fluency is influenced by two factors: Pre-task planning and content familiarity. Planning was adopted as a between-participant variable, combined with content familiarity as a within-participant variable, in a 2 × 2 split-plot factorial design. Nineteen measures of fluency phenomena, constituting…

Matlen, Bryan J.; Richland, Lindsey E.; Klostermann, Ellen C.; Lyons, Emily – Grantee Submission, 2018
Mathematical problem solving typically involves manipulating visual symbols (e.g., equations), and prior research suggests that those symbols serve as diagrammatic representations (e.g., Landy & Goldstone, 2010). The present work examines the ways that instructional design of student engagement with these diagrammatic representations may…

This study aims to explore the relationships between the extent and perceived quality of teachers' experience of training in behaviour management (BM), and their awareness of the nature and extent of behavioural problems among school students, and their confidence in their own competence to deal with such problems. Teachers (n = 183) from Hong…

Sample, Evelyn; Michel, Marije – TESL Canada Journal, 2014
Studying task repetition for adult and young foreign language learners of English (EFL) has received growing interest in recent literature within the task-based approach (Bygate, 2009; Hawkes, 2012; Mackey, Kanganas, & Oliver, 2007; Pinter, 2007b). Earlier work suggests that second language (L2) learners benefit from repeating the same or a…
