Lenz, Katja; Dreher, Anika; Holzäpfel, Lars; Wittmann, Gerald – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2020
Background: Concerning students' difficulties with fractions, many explanatory approaches are based on the distinction between conceptual knowledge and procedural knowledge. For further research in this field, it is thus crucial to make these constructs accessible to valid measurement. Aims: In this study, we aim at developing a test instrument…

Wommer, Fernanda Gabriela Bitencourt; Sepel, Lenira Maria Nunes; Loreto, Elgion Lucio Silva – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: Gamification is the use of game design elements, such as rules of play, point scoring and competition, in a non-game context, in learning activities. We designed a game, based on the famous augmented reality game "Pokémon GO," called Insects GO in which players should capture images of real insects with their mobile phones.…

Virat, Mael; Leoni, Véronique; Archambault, Isabelle – European Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2023
Adolescents with positive attitudes towards the legal authorities are unlikely to adopt delinquent behaviours. To examine the role school can play in shaping such attitudes, we questioned 465 middle school students to assess how their emotional relationships with teachers (teachers' compassionate love, teachers' esteem) relate to their attitudes…

Myers, Matthew C.; Wilson, Joshua – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2023
This study evaluated the construct validity of six scoring traits of an automated writing evaluation (AWE) system called "MI Write." Persuasive essays (N = 100) written by students in grades 7 and 8 were randomized at the sentence-level using a script written with Python's NLTK module. Each persuasive essay was randomized 30 times (n =…
