Conceptualizing, investigating, and enhancing adaptive expertise in elementary mathematics educationEuropean Journal of Psychology of Education - Tập 24 - Trang 335-359 - 2009
Lieven Verschaffel, Koen Luwel, Joke Torbeyns, Wim Van Dooren
Some years ago, Hatano differentiated between routine and adaptive expertise and made a strong plea for the development and implementation of learning environments that aim at the latter type of expertise and not just the former. In this contribution we reflect on one aspect of adaptivity, namely the adaptive use of solution strategies in elementary school arithmetic. In the first part of this art...... hiện toàn bộ
Producing narratives using a computer: The implementation of planning and control processesEuropean Journal of Psychology of Education - Tập 6 - Trang 135-141 - 2012
Valérie Gayoux
Three groups of subjects (9–10, 13–14 year-olds, and adults) produced narratives with the help of a computer. The use of this method allowed us to show some of the characteristics of super-structural planning: the decrease in time allocated to this process during the task, and the existence of a span of between 3,70 and 5,40 sentences, according to the ages of the subjects. Control processes were ...... hiện toàn bộ

Research examining family influences on student motivation and achievement in school has generally focused on parental influences and has often been limited to one or two variables (e.g., parental expectations or aspirations, parental involvement in schoolwork). In the present study we interviewed high school seniors to examine whether and how family members affected their academic motivation and ...... hiện toàn bộ
Cognitive and linguistic predictors of text comprehensionEuropean Journal of Psychology of Education - Tập 15 - Trang 135-155 - 2000
Nils Søvik, Marit Samuelstuen, Annlaug Flem
The problem was concerned with the extent to which cognitive/linguistic functions and domain-specific strategies could predict readers’ text comprehension when working with science texts. Six hypotheses were stated and tested in two prediction studies (N=101 eighth-graders), and one experiment (N=8 pupils of same age). Handal’s reading test was used for classifying pupils into good and poor reader...... hiện toàn bộ
Depersonalization or cynicism, efficacy or inefficacy: what are the dimensions of teacher burnout?European Journal of Psychology of Education - Tập 25 - Trang 301-314 - 2010
Silvia Simbula, Dina Guglielmi
This article seeks to contribute to the ongoing debate on the dimensionality of the burnout syndrome. Specifically, its aims are: (1) to investigate the role of efficacy beliefs using negatively worded inefficacy items instead of positive ones and (2) to establish whether depersonalization and cynicism can be considered two different dimensions of the teacher burnout syndrome. The results show tha...... hiện toàn bộ
