van Brussel, Suzan; Timmermans, Miranda; Verkoeijen, Peter; Paas, Fred – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
Open-mindedness is defined as one's willingness and ability to consider opposing beliefs and perspectives and give them a serious, impartial consideration by setting aside one's commitment towards one's own beliefs and perspectives. Learning to prepare and teach open-minded lessons is a crucial skill for student teachers because it fosters an…

Khajeloo, Mojtaba; Siegel, Marcelle A. – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2022
Concept map (CM) is introduced as a useful tool for studying students' system thinking (ST). However, it is more known to represent students' knowledge of system components and organization and less recognized as a tool to examine and enhance students' understanding about the underlying causal mechanisms in complex systems. In this study, through…

Rubio, Alba; Vidal-Abarca, Eduardo; Serrano-Mendizábal, Marian – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2022
This study analyzes the effect of text-inserted questions and post-text-reading questions, i.e., questions timing, on students' processing and learning when studying challenging texts. Seventy-six freshmen read two science texts and answered ten adjunct questions with the text available, being tested on learning 5 days afterwards. Questions were…

Greene, Jeffrey A.; Freed, Rebekah; Sawyer, R. Keith – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2019
There is a lack of research and practice focused on how to foster higher-order processing, such as creative performance, within higher education settings. To address this gap in research, we chose to study pedagogical practices in schools of art and design, where one of the intended learning outcomes is creativity. Based upon data gathered as part…

van Blankenstein, Floris M.; Tru?escu, Gabriela-Olivia; van der Rijst, Roeland M.; Saab, Nadira – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2019
The learning benefits of peer assessment and providing peer feedback have been widely reported. However, it is still not understood which learning activities most facilitate the acquisition of feedback skills. This study aimed to compare the effect of a modeling example, i.e., a model that demonstrated how to give feedback, on the acquisition of…

Asterhan, Christa S. C.; Dotan, Aviv – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2018
In the present study, we examined the effects of feedback that corrects and contrasts a student's own erroneous solutions with the canonical, correct one (CEC&C feedback) on learning in a conceptual change task. Sixty undergraduate students received expository instruction about natural selection, which presented the canonical, scientifically…

Schenke, Katerina; Richland, Lindsey E. – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2017
Drawing comparisons between students' alternative solution strategies to a single mathematics problem is a powerful yet challenging instructional practice. We examined 80 preservice teachers' when asked to design a short lesson when given a problem and two student solutions--one correct and one incorrect. These micro-teaching events were…

Kwon, Kyungbin; Park, Su Jin – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2017
An online discussion facilitates students' higher order thinking in online classes, especially when adopted with the instructor's guidance. The current experimental study examined the effects of two different discussion representation tools (social and cognitive diagrams) on students' discussion behaviors. The social diagram emphasized…

Wolff, Charlotte E.; Jarodzka, Halszka; van den Bogert, Niek; Boshuizen, Henny P. A. – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2016
Visual expertise has been explored in numerous professions, but research on teachers' vision remains limited. Teachers' visual expertise is an important professional skill, particularly the ability to simultaneously perceive and interpret classroom situations for effective classroom management. This skill is complex and relies on an awareness of…

Kim, So Mi; Hannafin, Michael J. – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2016
This study examined how differing instructional scaffolding influenced the actual use of evaluation skills to improve argumentation quality during college science inquiry. Source representation scaffolds supported multi-faceted reflection of complex source properties while managing cognitive load. Students were given an online annotation tool…

Kim, ChanMin; Bennekin, Kimberly N. – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2016
The purposes of this study were to investigate (a) the effects of volition support (VoS) on students' motivation, effort regulation, and performance as well as (b) the perceptions of students about VoS in an online mathematics course offered at a community college. VoS was developed based on the theories of and research on volition (e.g., Corno…
