Rigas Neofotistos; Ioannis Starakis; Krystallia Halkia – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2024
The present work refers to a study of 10-12-year-old students' ideas on the self- or hetero-luminosity of the Moon. To check the validity of students' reasoning on this question, we also examined their ideas on the lunar phases and how we see hetero-luminous objects. Students supported their ideas on the self- or hetero-luminosity of the Moon by…

Héctor J. Pijeira-Díaz; Sophia Braumann; Janneke van de Pol; Tamara van Gog; Anique B. H. Bruin – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2024
Advances in computational language models increasingly enable adaptive support for self-regulated learning (SRL) in digital learning environments (DLEs; eg, via automated feedback). However, the accuracy of those models is a common concern for educational stakeholders (eg, policymakers, researchers, teachers and learners themselves). We compared…

Wei Su; Axian Huang – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2024
Praise and criticism have long been reported as central feedback designs in academic writing, yet their relative influences on students' reception have not been fully investigated. This study employed six feedback statements (2 valences * 3 writing areas) and collected students' (N = 56) ratings of each statement's perceived comprehension and…

Christine E. Potter; Casey Lew-Williams – Journal of Child Language, 2024
We examined how noun frequency and the typicality of surrounding linguistic context contribute to children's real-time comprehension. Monolingual English-learning toddlers viewed pairs of pictures while hearing sentences with typical or atypical sentence frames ("Look at the…" vs. "Examine the…"), followed by nouns that were…

Klas Andersson; Kristoffer Larsson – Journal of Social Science Education, 2024
Purpose: Investigate first- to third-graders' understandings of the police. Design/methodology/approach: Phenomenography is used to analyze elementary students' understandings of the police as a social institution Findings: The results indicate three qualitatively different ways of understanding the police. The police as: attributes, activities…

Allison Finnerty – ProQuest LLC, 2024
The benefits of high-quality family-school partnerships are numerous in terms of academic, behavioral, and social-emotional student outcomes. Therefore, discovering paths to improving the relationship is essential. Finding ways to strengthen the family-school partnership is particularly critical for families with students in special education.…

Laura Franchin; Anna Teresa Porrini; Luca Surian – Language Learning and Development, 2024
Young children's (n = 108) and adults' (n = 40) ability to compute ad-hoc quantity conversational implicatures was assessed using a new implicit task that relied on eye-tracking. The children were 2 and 5 years old. Looking times reveal that all participants interpreted simple references by relying on implicatures. However, 2-year-olds failed to…

Fiorella, Logan – Educational Psychology Review, 2023
How do learners make sense of what they are learning? In this article, I present a new framework of sense-making based on research investigating the benefits and boundaries of generative learning activities (GLAs). The generative sense-making framework distinguishes among three primary sense-making modes--explaining, visualizing, and…

Forbes, Samuel H.; Plunkett, Kim – Developmental Science, 2023
Recent work has investigated the origin of infant colour categories, showing pre-linguistic infants categorise colour even in the absence of colour words. These infant categories are similar but not identical to adult categories, giving rise to an important question about how infant colour perception changes with the learning of colour words. Here…

Kartushina, Natalia; Mayor, Julien – Developmental Science, 2023
Previous research suggests that exposure to accent variability can affect toddlers' familiar word recognition and word comprehension. The current preregistered study addressed the gap in knowledge on early language development in infants exposed to two dialects from birth and assessed the role of dialect similarity in infants' word recognition and…

Wang, Wei-Sheng; Cheng, Yu-Ping; Lee, Hsin-Yu; Lin, Chia-Ju; Huang, Yueh-Min – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2023
Background: Benefited from advances in technology, virtual reality (VR) has been widely applied to learning content in operational training as well as hands-on courses. However, most current studies tend to evaluate learning effectiveness in this application, and few were focused on how learners can be benefited from transferring the knowledge…

Amy D. Robertson; Lisa M. Goodhew; Lauren C. Bauman; Brynna Hansen; Anne T. Alesandrini – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
[This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Qualitative Methods in PER: A Critical Examination.] Identifying student ideas about particular physics topics is one of the earliest and longest-standing foci of physics education research. This paper presents a method for identifying common conceptual resources for understanding physics, using…

Mix, Kelly S.; Bower, Corinne A.; Yuan, Lei; Hancock, Gregory R.; Smith, Linda B. – Educational Psychology, 2023
The current longitudinal study measured 279 kindergartners' (M[subscript age] = 5.76 years; SD = 0.55; 135 females) place value understanding using both approximate and syntactic measures based on previous evidence that early variation in performance on approximate measures was associated with subsequent syntactic place value understanding. In the…

Sarah E. Yoho; Tyson S. Barrett; Stephanie A. Borrie – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: The ability to understand speech under adverse listening conditions is highly variable across listeners. Despite this, studies have found that listeners with normal hearing display consistency in their ability to perceive speech across different types of degraded speech, suggesting that, for at least these listeners, global skills may be…

Jonathan Marrujo; Federico Martín González; Magalí Martínez; Roberto Muiños; Débora I. Burin – Journal of Educators Online, 2023
This study analyzed the contribution of spontaneous note-taking when undergraduates studied expository texts and videos. The study examined whether spontaneous note-taking had any effect on comprehension and if it was different for digital texts, presentation videos, or videos with decorative, irrelevant images. In addition, it explored whether…
