Gideon Dishon; Sarit Barzilai; Johnatan Verissimo Yanai – Cognition and Instruction, 2024
The spread of misinformation has underscored the importance of cultivating citizens' competency to critically evaluate popular accounts of scientific evidence. Extending the prevailing emphasis on evidence in the natural sciences, we argue for fostering students' understanding of psychological evidence and its communication in the media. In this…

Shulamit Kapon; Maayan Schvartzer – Cognition and Instruction, 2024
We present the theoretical argument that the use of mathematics in physics can be productively conceptualized as using a language and that learning to make sense of physics equations and appropriating them into novel scientific inquiry can be understood as a process of learning to read fluently with a high level of reading comprehension and to…

Ochieng, Mary A.; Van Zoest, Laura R. – Cognition and Instruction, 2023
Concerns about the disconnect between what goes on in teacher preparation programs and school classrooms have led to a greater emphasis on opportunities for preservice teachers to engage in the practice of teaching during their teacher education programs. Pedagogies of enactment have been shown to provide opportunities for preservice teachers to…

DeLiema, David; Kwon, Yejin Angela; Chisholm, Andrea; Williams, Immanuel; Dahn, Maggie; Flood, Virginia J.; Abrahamson, Dor; Steen, Francis F. – Cognition and Instruction, 2023
When teachers, researchers, and students describe productively responding to moments of failure in the learning process, what might this mean? Blending prior theoretical and empirical research on the relationship between failure and learning, and empirical results from four data sets that are part of a larger design-based research project, we…

Hermes, Mary Rose; Engman, Mel M.; Meixi,; McKenzie, James – Cognition and Instruction, 2023
Indigenous language reclamation efforts are pushing academic ideas of what language is, in order to be accountable to Indigenous epistemologies. Simultaneously, as our Indigenous languages grow, we (academics) are pushed to grow beyond the boundaries of disciplines. Categories of "language" and "land" have been segregated by…

Kavanagh, Sarah Schneider; Resnick, Alison Fox; Ghousseini, Hala; Gotwalt, Elizabeth Schiavone; Cordero-Siy, Eric; Kazemi, Elham; Dutro, Elizabeth – Cognition and Instruction, 2022
Researcher-practitioner collaborations often stop short of engaging researchers and teachers in collectively negotiating the moment-to-moment improvizational decision-making of instructional practice when students are present. We consider the potential for learning at one boundary that often exists between researchers and practitioners as they…

Lee, Ung-Sang A.; DeLiema, David; Gomez, Kimberley – Cognition and Instruction, 2022
This article offers methodological insights and tools to those engaged in design-based research (DBR) seeking to advance equity-oriented learning and outcomes through co-design. We respond to recent scholarship that points to the inseparability between the assumptions we hold about society and those we hold about learning, and consider how such…

Azevedo, Flávio S.; Mann, Michele J. – Cognition and Instruction, 2022
We investigate fifth-grade students' identity work and science learning at the margins of a science classroom. By "margins" we refer to activities unrelated to formal classroom instructional content and practices, and which unfold across many settings and contexts, including the classroom itself, but also multi-party, social group…

Finch, Lila; Moreno, Celeste; Shapiro, R. Benjamin – Cognition and Instruction, 2021
Creating learning environments that integrate arts, sciences, and computing in education can improve learning in these disciplines. In particular, transdisciplinary integrations of these disciplines can lead to expansive alterations or dissolutions of epistemological, ideological, and methodological boundaries. We wish to support teachers in the…

Radinsky, Josh – Cognition and Instruction, 2020
Learning in data-rich environments has been a focus of learning sciences research since the inception of the field, with increasing interest in the ways learners "narrate data." This article examines the narration of data from the perspective of "learning on the move," identifying mobilities of data, and of the narratives in…

Kelton, Molly L.; Ma, Jasmine Y. – Cognition and Instruction, 2020
In this article, we report on a video-based field study of an intergenerational family's enactment of a mathematical object (a torus) in the context of an immersive mathematics exhibition in a science center. To do this, we center interwoven, multi-party mobilities at multiple scales--walking, gesturing, touching, and postural adjustments -- as…

Marin, Ananda Maria – Cognition and Instruction, 2020
There is a growing corpus of research in the educational sciences that explores the multiple ways in which mobility, or people's movement from place to place and through places, both constitutes and influences learning. Ambulatory methods and walking interviews are increasingly being used by social scientists and performance researchers to…

Taylor, Katie Headrick – Cognition and Instruction, 2020
In community planning, the consequence of a failed or productive teaching and learning interaction could mean the preservation or destruction of someone's house, a neighborhood school, a park, all of it. This article elucidates consistencies in how people collaborate across spatial epistemologies and power imbalances for making recommendations and…

Tang, Xiaowei; Yang, Liu; Levin, Daniel M. – Cognition and Instruction, 2020
In this study, we explore how cross-linguistic differences can contribute to children's scientific thinking. We compared first and third grade Chinese students' pre-instructional ideas of the earth expressed in clinical interviews with that of their English-speaking and Greek-speaking counterparts (as recorded in the literature). Inspired by a…

Alonzo, Alicia C.; Elby, Andrew – Cognition and Instruction, 2019
As scientific models of student thinking, learning progressions (LPs) have been evaluated in terms of one important, but limited, criterion: fit to empirical data. We argue that LPs are not empirically adequate, largely because they rely on problematic assumptions of theory-like coherence in students' thinking. Through an empirical investigation…
