Melissa Freeman – International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), 2024
This paper considers reading a hermeneutical co-respondence with understanding's becoming. It describes how understanding's plurality is caught up in the dialogical interplay of reading, rhetoric, and rhythm characteristic of hermeneutic engagement. Reading positions a reader in relationship with a text seeking participation in the matter under…

Rolf A. Zwaan – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2024
In this article, I outline the evolution of my research in the domain of narrative comprehension. I cover three phases: (1) the event-indexing model, which explores connecting events in narratives; (2) the immersed experiencer framework, which focuses on event representations and mental simulations; and (3) a preliminary exploration of conspiracy…

Ashley Chen; Suchita E. Kumar; Rhea Varkhedi; Dillon H. Murphy – Educational Psychology Review, 2024
In the modern age, we often consume content at faster than its normal speed. Prior research suggests that watching lecture videos at speeds up to 2x does not significantly affect performance, but the mechanisms by which comprehension is preserved at faster playback speeds are not fully understood. Therefore, we sought to investigate whether there…

Harpa Stefánsdóttir; Kathryn Crowe; Egill Magnússon; Mark Guiberson; Thora Másdóttir; Inga Ágústsdóttir; Ösp V. Baldursdóttir – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2024
There is great variability in the ways in which the speech intelligibility of d/Deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) children who use spoken language as part, or all, of their communication system is measured. This systematic review examined the measures and methods that have been used when examining the speech intelligibility of children who are DHH…

Silva, Leonardo; Mendes, Antonio Jose; Gomes, Anabela; Fortes, Gabriel – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2023
Contribution: Students' problem-understanding abilities and their relationship with programming learning were investigated using a methodology little explored in the existing literature. Background: Problem comprehension is an ability used during software development. Current research points to conflicting results on students' ability to interpret…

Pinto, Alon; Cooper, Jason – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2023
Professors in proof-based mathematics courses often intend that the feedback they provide on students' flawed proofs will promote proof comprehension. In this theoretical article, we investigate how such feedback can be formulated. Drawing on Lakatos's process of proof and refutation, we propose the notion of "heuristic refutation…

Yu, Haopeng; Wang, Haiyan; He, Xiaowei – Journal of Child Language, 2023
This paper investigates the comprehension of Relative Clauses (RCs) in 15 Mandarin children with suspected Specific Language Impairment (SLI) (aged between 4; 5 and 6; 0) and 29 typically developing (TD) controls. Results from a Character Picture Matching Task indicate that (i) the subject RC was better understood than the object RC in children…

Yi Zou; Xinyu Xue; Lizhen Jin; Xiao Huang; Yanbing Li – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2023
In recent years, developing students' knowledge integration of specific topics through effective teaching methods has been a concern in science education. This study explored an alternative teaching method, which aims to help lower secondary school students develop their knowledge structure about buoyancy towards a logically integrated conceptual…

Taya Misheva; Sara E. Brownell; M. Elizabeth Barnes – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2023
Researchers who study student acceptance of evolution rely on surveys that are designed to measure evolution acceptance. It is important for these surveys to measure evolution acceptance accurately and in isolation from other constructs, so that researchers can accurately determine what leads to low acceptance. The Inventory of Student Evolution…

Jeanne Kriek; Ashenafi Legesse – Journal of Pedagogical Research, 2023
Students often face difficulties to understand Archimedes' principle and to apply it in everyday life. It is therefore necessary to explore a different teaching approach that addresses students' visual and auditory senses in a unique manner. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of using multiple representations on undergraduate…

Björn Kindenberg – Language and Education, 2025
This study delves into the complex relationship between storytelling and historical understanding. Focused on how lower-secondary students employ narrative discourse in writing, it examines the extent to which their storytelling aids or limits historical comprehension. Drawing on systemic-functional linguistics and history education theories, the…

Camilo R. Ronderos; John M. Tomlinson; Ira Noveck – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
Irony is a heavily context-dependent pragmatic phenomenon. But what is it about context that facilitates or blocks irony comprehension? Based on the echoic account, we suggest that a context facilitates irony comprehension when it makes manifest a speaker's intentions and attitude, i.e., when a context makes it easy for participants to engage…

Andrea Krieg – Teaching Sociology, 2024
There is general agreement among sociologists that teaching social structure is a core component of a sociological curriculum. Despite this agreement, there are few guides for instructors on how to teach this key concept. Using the sociological literacy framework, this research examines the most popular undergraduate Introduction to Sociology…

Background: The abbreviated version of the Token Test (aTT) is widely used to assess language comprehension deficits in stroke patients (SPs). However, aTT has not been validated for Latin American Spanish speakers, so clinicians tend to use cut-off scores for aTT validated in developed countries. Aims: To provide normative data for the Spanish…
