Bertilsson, Frida; Wiklund-Hörnqvist, Carola; Stenlund, Tova; Jonsson, Bert – Journal of Cognitive Education and Psychology, 2017
Retrieval practice is known to lead to better retention of a to-be-learned material than restudy (i.e., the testing effect). However, few studies have investigated retrieval practice in relation to working memory capacity (WMC) and personality characteristics such as grittiness (Grit) and need for cognition (NFC). In two experiments, we examined…

Maier-Höfer, Claudia – Early Years: An International Journal of Research and Development, 2015
By focusing on a collective aesthetics based on sensation and affect, researchers, especially in Stockholm, Sweden, are exploring a pedagogy that opens up space for assemblages of desire, acknowledging the expressions of children who transform themselves and their milieus into a weave of bodies, spaces, signs and media. By analysing this pedagogy,…

Background: Although callous-unemotional (CU) traits have been associated with bullying among children and adolescents, relatively little is known about whether each of the three sub-constructs of CU traits--callous, uncaring, and unemotional--are associated with bullying when they are considered concurrently in the analysis. Objective: This study…

This paper focuses on the factors that are likely to play a role in individual learning outcomes from group discussions, and it includes a comparison featuring test-enhanced learning. A between-groups design (N = 98) was used to examine the learning effects of feedback if provided to discussion groups, and to examine whether group discussions…

Grant, Frida – ProQuest LLC, 2014
Mathematicians have, historically, not been overly successful in their approach to teaching and much research has looked in to why this is so. Teaching mathematics is based on a solid understanding of the subject; however, instructors also need to be able to efficiently communicate the subject to their students. The purpose of this study was to…

Bayram Özdemir, Sevgi; Özdemir, Metin; Stattin, Håkan – Journal of Early Adolescence, 2016
Immigrant youth are at risk of experiencing harassment in school; however, we have only limited understanding of what makes youth harass their peers on ground of their ethnic origin. To address this major limitation, we examined (a) whether youth's negative attitudes toward immigrants impact their engagement in ethnic harassment over time and (b)…

Dispositional…

Upper secondary school students in Sweden (N=315) completed the Wonderlic IQ test (Wonderlic, 1992) and the IPIP-NEO-PI test (Goldberg, 1999). A series of…

Sriskandarajah, Nadarajah; Bawden, Richard; Blackmore, Chris; Tidball, Keith G.; Wals, Arjen E. J. – Environmental Education Research, 2010

Three different cognitive dimensions ("ontological," "epistemological" and "axiological") that underpin assumptions held about the nature of nature, the nature of knowing and the nature of human…
