Ilfiandra, Ilfiandra; Saripudin, Mohamad – Journal of Peace Education, 2023
In recent decades, numerous studies have been conducted on children's understanding of peace and war. Geographic, economic, political, cultural, and social differences influence the concepts of war and peace. This study aims at examining this effect. In addition to comparing studies conducted in Western countries, the study aims to examine early…

Nazila Babakhani; Leo Paas; Sara Dolnicar – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2023
Instructional Manipulation Checks (IMCs) are intended to detect inattention, a common occurrence in survey responding. We use eye tracking to empirically assess the attention that survey respondents dedicate to a short and a long IMC. We find that all 21 respondents pass the short IMC. In contrast, six respondents fail the long IMC. Our…

Magnetic molecular models help students explore molecular structures and interactions. In this study, we investigated how pairs of students used magnetic models to explore hydrogen bonding and the 6-fold symmetry of snowflakes. Fourteen first-year students enrolled in a chemistry unit participated in pairs. Students' interactions with the magnetic…

Pommée, Timothy; Balaguer, Mathieu; Mauclair, Julie; Pinquier, Julien; Woisard, Virginie – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2022
Background: Intelligibility and comprehensibility in speech disorders can be assessed both perceptually and instrumentally, but a lack of consensus exists regarding the terminology and related speech measures in both the clinical and scientific fields. Aims: To draw up a more consensual definition of intelligibility and comprehensibility and to…

Fiock, Holly; Meech, Sally; Yang, Mohan; Long, Yishi; Farmer, Tadd; Hilliard, Nathan; Koehler, Adrie A.; Cheng, Zui – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2022
Understanding theory is essential to instructional design (ID) research and practice; however, novice designers struggle to make sense of instructional design theory due to its abstract and complex nature, the inconsistent use of theoretical terms and concepts within literature, and the dissociation of theory from practice. While these challenges…

Zinken, Jörg; Küttner, Uwe-A. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2022
Sometimes in interaction, a speaker articulates an overt interpretation of prior talk. Such moments have been studied as involving the repair of a problem with the other's talk or as formulating an understanding of the matter at hand. Stepping back from the established notions of formulations and repair, we examine the variety of actions speakers…

Fegely, Alex; Tang, Hengtao – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2022
The purpose of this convergent mixed-methods study was to evaluate the effect of educational robotics on pre-service teachers' programming comprehension and motivation. Computer science is increasingly being integrated into K-8 curricula. However, a shortage of teachers trained to teach basic computer science concepts remains unresolved. This…

Huensch, Amanda; Nagle, Charlie – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2022
This report examines the potential impacts of task and proficiency on listener judgments of intelligibility, comprehensibility, and accentedness in L2 Spanish. This study extends Huensch and Nagle ["Language Learning," 71, 626-668, (2021)], who explored the partial independence among the global speech dimensions for speech samples taken…

Peteranderl, Sonja; Edelsbrunner, Peter Adriaan; Deiglmayr, Anne; Schumacher, Ralph; Stern, Elsbeth – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2023
Building on rich training literature, we examined which skills constituting the control-of-variables strategy (CVS) benefit from a comprehensive training, and which develop similarly during content-focused inquiry at ages 10-12. In addition, we examined whether prior knowledge, reasoning abilities, and reading comprehension explain variation in…

Lulu Song; Li Sheng; Rufan Luo – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2024
Chinese-English dual language learners (Chinese DLLs) are a growing population in the US. Existing studies of preschool-aged Chinese DLLs mostly focused on single-word vocabulary and rarely explored other skills important for school readiness. In the current study, we examined Chinese DLLs' development of receptive vocabulary and comprehension of…

Magdalena Kersting; Tamer G. Amin; Elias Euler; Bor Gregorcic; Jesper Haglund; Liv Kondrup Hardahl; Rolf Steier – Science & Education, 2024
Bodily engagement with the material and sociocultural world is ubiquitous in doing and learning science. However, science education researchers have often tended to emphasize the disembodied and nonmaterial aspects of science learning, thereby overlooking the crucial role of the body in meaning-making processes. While in recent years we have seen…

Diana Villabona; Asuman Oktaç; Solange Roa-Fuentes – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2024
We offer a new angle to explain the comprehension of mathematical infinity. We use Action-Process-Object-Schema (APOS) theory to explore the construction of different aspects of the cognitive Object related to this notion. We focus our attention on different ways of interacting with infinity, and how to act on infinite entities. Our aim is to shed…

Elizabeth A. Stevens; Megan H. Mowbray – TEACHING Exceptional Children, 2024
Typically, vocabulary instruction is associated as part of reading instruction. However, vocabulary instruction is also a necessary component of mathematics instruction. In fact, state and national standards (e.g., Common Core State Standards) require elementary students to communicate about mathematics to provide clear explanations, construct…

Triinu Kärbla; Krista Uibu; Mairi Männamaa – Literacy Research and Instruction, 2024
Strategy interventions have been found to support students' text comprehension, but little is known about the sustainability of these effects. This study examined short- and long-term effects of a strategy intervention on students' vocabulary and text comprehension at the literal, inferential and evaluative levels. A pretest, posttest, and…

Feng Zhao; Lin Fan; Jiao Zhang; Yan-e Liu; Jiaxing Jiang; Tongfei Bing – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2024
This experiment employed viewing time methods to investigate the effects of individual differences in visuospatial working memory (VWM) on the processing of older adults' bridging inferences in the understanding of visual narratives. The results showed that older adults could make bridging inferences in visual narrative processing, and that VWM…
