Stéphanie Chouteau; Benoît Lemaire; Catherine Thevenot; Jasinta Dewi; Karine Mazens – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
It is commonly accepted that repeatedly using mental procedures results in a transition to memory retrieval, but the determinant of this process is still unclear. In a 3-week experiment, we compared two different learning situations involving basic additions, one based on counting and the other based on arithmetic fact memorization. Two groups of…

Urhan, Selin; Bülbül, Ali – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2023
Our study aims to determine how Habermas' construct of rationality can serve to identify and interpret the difficulties experienced by university students in the mathematical problem-solving process. To this end, a problem which required modelling and solving a differential equation was used. The problem-solving processes of university students…

Chou, Te-Lien; Tang, Kai-Yu; Tsai, Chin-Chung – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
Programming learning has become an essential literacy for computer science (CS) and non-CS students in the digital age. Researchers have addressed that students' conceptions of learning influence their approaches to learning, and thus impact their learning outcomes. Therefore, we aimed to uncover students' conceptions of programming learning…

Elson, Raymond J.; O'Callaghan, Susanne; Walker, John P.; Williams, Robert – Journal of Instructional Pedagogies, 2013
Students rely on rote knowledge to learn accounting concepts. However, this approach does not allow them to understanding the meta language of accounting. Meta language is simply the concepts and terms that are used in a profession and are easily understood by its users. Terms such as equity, assets, and balance sheet are part of the accounting…

Yang, Wei-dong; Dai, Wei-ping – International Education Studies, 2012
The findings of the study indicate that students prefer to engage in the vocabulary learning strategies that would be most appealing to them and that would entail less manipulation of the language. Of the four vocabulary memorizing strategies cited in the study (rote repetition, structural associations, semantic strategies, and mnemonic keyword…

Beckley, Scott – ProQuest LLC, 2013
Many college students struggle with first-semester general chemistry. Prior studies have shown that a student's prior knowledge of chemistry, a cognitive factor, does not account for the total variance when measured by examination scores. This study explored the role of self-regulated learning (SRL) to identify the degree of success or failure of…
