Nurit Novis-Deutsch; Etan Cohen; Hanan Alexander; Liat Rahamian; Uri Gavish; Ofir Glick; Oren Yehi-Shalom; Gad Marcus; Ayelet Mann – Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2024
Background: This paper explores K-12 interdisciplinary learning in the humanities (IL-Humanities), an area that, until now, has seen limited research focus compared to its STEM counterparts. We asked: (1) What are the outcomes of IL-Humanities in terms of interdisciplinary competences? (2) How do learners in these environments engage in…

Lipetz, Liora; Kluger, Avraham N.; Bodie, Graham D. – International Journal of Listening, 2020
Interpersonal listening research is marked by a wealth of conceptual definitions and measurement instruments, with a consensus about neither. Therefore, we sought to discover how laypeople, rather than theoreticians, construe listening, and to construct a scale that reflects these perceptions. In Study 1, laypeople listed the features and…

Shnitzer-Meirovich, Shlomit; Lifshitz-Vahab, Hefziba; Mashal, Nira – Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 2017
Studies examining the visual and verbal metaphorical comprehension of individuals with non-specific intellectual disability (NSID) are remarkably scarce; to date only one case study examined comprehension of metaphors in an individual with Down syndrome (DS). The current study explored both the understanding of conventional and novel metaphors and…

Schechter, Chen; Shaked, Haim; Ganon-Shilon, Sherry; Goldratt, Miri – Leadership and Policy in Schools, 2018
During reforms, principals often experience ambiguity, contradicting demands, and lack of information. As critical change agents and system players, principals interpret reform demands and translate them into school practices through a process of sense-making. The current qualitative research explored 59 elementary school principals' sense-making…

Kahana, Ora; Tal, Tali – International Journal of STEM Education, 2014
Background: Although teaching nature of science (NOS) has been continually emphasized in many major reform efforts in science education, researchers claim that students do not possess adequate views of NOS. Insufficient understanding of NOS can be associated with the ineffectiveness of curricular or instructional approaches. Consequently,…

Levav-Waynberg, Anat; Leikin, Roza – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2012
The article demonstrates that multiple solution tasks (MSTs) in the context of geometry can serve as a research instrument for evaluating geometry knowledge and creativity. Geometry knowledge is evaluated based on the correctness and connectedness of solutions, whereas creativity is evaluated based on a combination of fluency, flexibility, and…

Kramarski, Bracha; Michalsky, Tova – Educational Research and Evaluation, 2009
Our study investigated 3 metacognitive approaches provided during different phases of learning technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPCK) in a Web-based learning environment. These metacognitive approaches were based on self-question prompts (Kramarski & Mevarech, 2003) which appeared in pop-up screens and fostered the Self-Regulated…
