Fielding, Jill; Makar, Katie – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2022
Conceptual challenge is often considered a necessary ingredient for promoting deep learning in an inquiry-based environment. However, challenge alone does not support conceptual development. In this paper, we draw on complexity theory as a theoretical lens to explore how a primary teacher facilitated students' conceptual change through repeated…

Platow, Michael J.; Mavor, Kenneth I.; Grace, Diana M. – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2013
The current research examined the role that students' discipline-related self-concepts may play in their deep and surface approaches to learning, their overall learning outcomes, and continued engagement in the discipline itself. Using a cross-lagged panel design of first-year university psychology students, a causal path was observed in which…

Herppich, Stephanie; Wittwer, Jörg; Nückles, Matthias; Renkl, Alexander – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2016
The extent to which tutors are interactive and engage in dialogue with a student tends to depend on their pedagogical expertise. Normally, tutors with pedagogical expertise are more interactive than tutors without pedagogical expertise. This finding, however, has largely been obtained when examining tutoring in procedural domains such as…

Clinton, Virginia – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2014
Student approaches to learning have been a popular area of research in educational psychology. One useful framework for understanding student approaches to learning is through Biggs' presage-process-product model. The purpose of this study is to examine the process stage of the 3P model. Undergraduate students (N = 67) thought aloud while…

Sanchez, Emilio; Garcia-Rodicio, Hector; Acuna, Santiago R. – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2009
Effective instructional explanations help the students to construct coherent mental representations. To do so, one condition is that they must be tailored to students' needs. It is hypothesized that explanations are more helpful if they also explicitly aid the students to detect problems in their mental representations, as this provokes an impasse…

Malmberg, Jonna; Järvenoja, Hanna; Järvelä, Sanna – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2013
This study uses log file traces to examine differences between high-and low-achieving students' strategic actions in varying learning situations. In addition, this study illustrates, in detail, what strategic and self-regulated learning constitutes in practice. The study investigates the learning patterns that emerge in learning situations…

Lachner, Andreas; Nückles, Matthias – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2016
In two studies, we investigated the impact of instructors' different knowledge bases on the quality of their instructional explanations. In Study 1, we asked 20 mathematics teachers (with high pedagogical content knowledge, but lower content knowledge) and 15 mathematicians (with lower pedagogical content knowledge, but high content knowledge) to…

Gijbels, David; Segers, Mien; Struyf, Elke – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2008
Recent research shows that, as students interpret the demands of the assessment tasks, they vary their approaches to learning in order to cope with the assessment tasks. Three research questions are central in the present paper: (1) Do students who participate in a constructivist learning environment change their perception of assessment demands…

Walker, Rebecca; Spronken-Smith, Rachel; Bond, Carol; McDonald, Fiona; Reynolds, John; McMartin, Anna – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2010
This study aimed to use a learning inventory (the Approaches and Study Skills Inventory for Students, ASSIST) to measure the impact of a curriculum change on students' approaches to learning in two large courses in a health sciences first year programme. The two new Human Body Systems (HUBS) courses were designed to encourage students to take a…

Malkiewich, Laura J.; Chase, Catherine C. – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2019
Engaging in engineering tasks can help students learn science concepts. However, many engineering tasks lead students to focus more on the success of their construction than on learning science content, which can hurt students' ability to learn and transfer scientific principles from them. Two empirical studies investigate how content-focused…

Loibl, Katharina; Tillema, Marcel; Rummel, Nikol; van Gog, Tamara – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2020
Research on productive failure suggests that attempting to solve a problem prior to instruction facilitates conceptual understanding compared to receiving instruction prior to problem solving. The assumptions are that during the problem-solving phase, students activate their prior knowledge, become aware of their knowledge gaps, and discover deep…

Mende, Stephan; Proske, Antje; Körndle, Hermann; Narciss, Susanne – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2017
Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) scripts can foster learners' deep text comprehension. However, this depends on (a) the extent to which the learning activities targeted by a script promote deep text comprehension and (b) whether the guidance level provided by the script is adequate to induce the targeted learning activities…

Brand, Charleen; Hartmann, Christian; Loibl, Katharina; Rummel, Nikol – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
Productive Failure (PF) is an instructional design that implements a problem-solving phase which aims at preparing students for learning from a subsequent instruction. PF has been shown to facilitate students' conceptual knowledge acquisition in the mathematical domain. Collaboration has been described as a vital design component of PF, but…

Widmann, Andreas; Mulder, Regina H. – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2020
Teams become a key resource for organisations to meet different challenges. Thus a high team performance is essential in work context. The aim of this study was to get a deeper understanding of meaningful team learning and team mental models in educational contexts, by analysing the effect of team learning behaviours (TLBs) on the development of…

Roelle, Julian; Berthold, Kirsten; Renkl, Alexander – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2014
Although instructional explanations are commonly used to introduce learners to new learning content, previous studies have often shown that their effects on learning outcomes are minimal. This failure might partly be due to mental passivity of the learners while processing introductory explanations and to a lack of opportunity to revise potential…
