Shelley Xiuli Tong, Kembell Lentejas, Qinli Deng, Ning An, Yanmengna Cui
This meta-analysis examined the contribution of prosodic sensitivity to reading comprehension, and characterized the pathways by which this contribution occurs and the factors affecting it. Using meta-regression with robust variance estimation to synthesize and quantify 53 papers comprising 62 studies on word reading (77 effect sizes, N = 6,043 participants) and 26 studies on reading comprehension...... hiện toàn bộ
Cultural Adaptations to Environmental Variability: An Evolutionary Account of East–West DifferencesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 23 - Trang 99-129 - 2010
Lei Chang, Miranda C. K. Mak, Tong Li, Bao Pei Wu, Bin Bin Chen, Hui Jing Lu
Much research has been conducted to document and sometimes to provide proximate explanations (e.g., Confucianism vs. Western philosophy) for East–West cultural differences. The ultimate evolutionary mechanisms underlying these cross-cultural differences have not been addressed. We propose in this review that East–West cultural differences (e.g., independent versus interdependent self construal; au...... hiện toàn bộ
Learning to Argue Through Dialogue: a Review of Instructional ApproachesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 34 - Trang 477-509 - 2021
Chrysi Rapanta, Mark K. Felton
Over the past 20 years, a broad and diverse research literature has emerged to address how students learn to argue through dialogue in educational contexts. However, the variety of approaches used to study this phenomenon makes it challenging to find coherence in what may otherwise seem to be disparate fields of study. In this integrative review, we propose looking at how learning to argue (LTA) h...... hiện toàn bộ
How Much Mightier Is the Pen than the Keyboard for Note-Taking? A Replication and Extension of Mueller and Oppenheimer (2014)Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 31 - Trang 753-780 - 2019
Kayla Morehead, John Dunlosky, Katherine A. Rawson
Many students use laptops to take notes in classes, but does using them impact later test performance? In a high-profile investigation comparing note-taking writing on paper versus typing on a laptop keyboard, Mueller and Oppenheimer (Psychological Science, 25, 1159–1168, 2014) concluded that taking notes by longhand is superior. We conducted a direct replication of Mueller and Oppenheimer (2014) ...... hiện toàn bộ
Buckyballs, hairyballs, educational semiotics, and other interesting topicsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 4 - Trang 253-259 - 1992
James M. Royer
This paper develops the thesis that the educational semiotic described by Cunningham offers an interesting perspective from which to view educational issues, but it offers little in the way of practical approaches to educational problems. After agreeing with Cunningham's argument that knowledge is constructed rather than received, the paper goes on to state three concerns about an educational semi...... hiện toàn bộ
From Exploratory Talk to Abstract Reasoning: a Case for Far Transfer?Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 29 Số 3 - Trang 565-581 - 2017
Webb, Paul, Whitlow, J. W., Venter, Danie
Research has shown improvements in science, mathematics, and language scores when classroom discussion is employed in school-level science and mathematics classes. Studies have also shown statistically and practically significant gains in children’s reasoning abilities as measured by the Raven’s Standard Progressive Matrices test when employing the practice of “exploratory talk”. While these studi...... hiện toàn bộ

Motivational Effects on Self-Regulated Learning with Different TasksSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 18 - Trang 239-253 - 2006
Regina Vollmeyer, Falko Rheinberg
In our cognitive motivational process model (Vollmeyer & Rheinberg, Zeitschrift für Pädagogische Psychologie, 12:11–23, 1998) we assume that initial motivation affects performance via motivation during learning and learning strategies. These variables are also central for self-regulation theories (e.g., M. Boekaerts, European Psychologist, 1:100–122, 1996). In this article we discuss methods with ...... hiện toàn bộ
