Cooper, Melanie M.; Corley, Leah M.; Underwood, Sonia M. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2013
The connection between the molecular-level structure of a substance and its macroscopic properties is a fundamental concept in chemistry. Students in college-level general and organic chemistry courses were interviewed to investigate how they used structure-property relationships to predict properties such as melting and boiling points. Although…

Pinto, Alon; Cooper, Jason – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2023
Professors in proof-based mathematics courses often intend that the feedback they provide on students' flawed proofs will promote proof comprehension. In this theoretical article, we investigate how such feedback can be formulated. Drawing on Lakatos's process of proof and refutation, we propose the notion of "heuristic refutation…

Joughin, Gordon; Boud, David; Dawson, Phillip – Higher Education Research and Development, 2019
Students' capacity for making evaluative judgements of their own work is widely acknowledged as central to their learning within programmes as well as being vital to their subsequent professional practice. In higher education literature, the act of evaluative judgement is usually portrayed as a process of deliberative, analytical reasoning…

Griffiths, Thomas L.; Tenenbaum, Joshua B. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2011
Predicting the future is a basic problem that people have to solve every day and a component of planning, decision making, memory, and causal reasoning. In this article, we present 5 experiments testing a Bayesian model of predicting the duration or extent of phenomena from their current state. This Bayesian model indicates how people should…

Pedretti, Erminia; Nazir, Joanne – Science Education, 2011
It has been 40 years since science, technology, society, and environment (STSE) education first appeared in science education research and practice. Although supported among many educators worldwide, there is much confusion surrounding the STSE slogan. Widely differing discourses on STSE education and diverse ways of practicing, have led to an…
