Singer Trakhman, Lauren M.; Alexander, Patricia A.; Sun, Yuting – Journal of Experimental Education, 2023
The comprehension and calibration of 54 undergraduates were investigated as they read excerpts from an introductory geology textbook on weather and soil in print and digitally. All excerpts were approximately 1600 words in length and contained a graph, a diagram, and three photographs that complemented or extended the written text. Each student…

van de Pol, Janneke; de Vries, Nicky; Poorthuis, Astrid M.G.; Mainhard, Tim – Journal of Experimental Education, 2023
Adaptive teacher support (i.e., support that is tailored to students' understanding) is considered crucial for students' learning. Previous research examined support adaptivity mostly in small-scale, observational studies without distinguishing between theory-based facets of support adaptivity. Yet, students' perceptions of different aspects of…

Beymer, Patrick N.; Ponnock, Annette R.; Rosenzweig, Emily Q. – Journal of Experimental Education, 2023
Research examining students' perceptions of cost (i.e., what one must give up in order to complete a particular task), has been growing over the past decade; however, almost no research has examined teachers' perceptions of cost. Given the importance of cost beliefs as predictors of students' academic behavior and choices, an examination of…

Evaluating an Explicit Instruction Teacher Observation Protocol through a Validity Argument Approach
Johnson, Evelyn S.; Zheng, Yuzhu; Crawford, Angela R.; Moylan, Laura A. – Journal of Experimental Education, 2022
In this study, we examined the scoring and generalizability assumptions of an explicit instruction (EI) special education teacher observation protocol using many-faceted Rasch measurement (MFRM). Video observations of classroom instruction from 48 special education teachers across four states were collected. External raters (n = 20) were trained…

Robinson, Kristy A.; Perez, Tony; White-Levatich, Arianna; Linnenbrink-Garcia, Lisa – Journal of Experimental Education, 2022
The end of college is a key transition point when students prepare for the workforce or graduate school, and when competence beliefs that have been shaped throughout college play a particularly important role in decision-making processes. This study examined the roles of two competence beliefs, self-efficacy for scientific tasks and science…

Gill, M. G.; Trevors, G.; Greene, J. A.; Algina, J. – Journal of Experimental Education, 2022
The overall purpose of this study was to investigate the role of personal relevance in conceptual change. First, we used an experimental design to investigate the role of augmented activation--which directly implicated teachers' personal prior beliefs about mathematics learning and instruction--and refutational text manipulations on short and…

Bianchi, Laura J.; Risko, Evan F. – Journal of Experimental Education, 2022
With the increase in online course use (Allen & Seaman, 2017), there is an increasing need to determine the most effective (i.e., the most conducive for learning) way to present lectures online (e.g., video lectures). Lecture graphics that are interesting but extraneous to the content (e.g., a celebrity), have been shown to impair…

Miele, David B.; Browman, Alexander S.; Shen, Chen; Vasilyeva, Marina; Tyumeneva, Yulia A. – Journal of Experimental Education, 2022
Three studies examine a novel pathway by which the perseverance component of the personality trait "grit" might predict college students' behavioral persistence when solving challenging math problems. Specifically, we focus on the intervening role of what we refer to as "math-specific self-perceptions of perseverance," which…

Papenberg, Martin; Diedenhofen, Birk; Musch, Jochen – Journal of Experimental Education, 2021
Testwiseness may introduce construct-irrelevant variance to multiple-choice test scores. Presenting response options sequentially has been proposed as a potential solution to this problem. In an experimental validation, we determined the psychometric properties of a test based on the sequential presentation of response options. We created a strong…

Greenhalgh, Spencer P. – Journal of Experimental Education, 2021
Games can invite players to try on moral identities, but players ultimately choose how to respond to this invitation. In this study, I explore how the design of a game and the context it is played in affect whether players tried on a moral identity when completing in-game actions. I interviewed seven students who had played an ethics game and…

Schelfhout, Stijn; Wille, Bart; Fonteyne, Lot; Roels, Elisabeth; De Fruyt, Filip; Duyck, Wouter – Journal of Experimental Education, 2021
Each student faces the challenge of choosing a study program that matches his or her vocational interest. A good person-environment fit (PE fit) between student and study program influences study success and persistence, prerequisites to obtaining the desired degree. But which criterion should be used when presenting advice sets of study options…

Spratto, Elisabeth M.; Bandalos, Deborah L. – Journal of Experimental Education, 2020
Research suggests that certain characteristics of survey items may impact participants' responses. In this study we investigated the impact of several of these characteristics: vague wording, question-versus-statement phrasing, and full-versus-partial labeling of response options. We manipulated survey items per these characteristics and randomly…

Summers, Jessica J.; Falco, Lia D. – Journal of Experimental Education, 2020
This goal of this study was to develop a quantitative measure that captures the dimensions of youth purpose (intention, engagement, and prosocial reasoning; Damon, Menon, and Bronk, 2003), focusing on students' life goals and aspirations. We tested the construct validity of our new measure using bifactor exploratory structural equation modeling (B…

Tierney, Gavin; Goodell, Alexandra; Nolen, Susan Bobbitt; Lee, Nathanie; Whitfield, Lisé; Abbott, Robert D. – Journal of Experimental Education, 2020
This paper describes a three-year, design-based research project to redesign a year-long, project-based advanced placement environmental science course to better support student engagement and the development of environmental citizen identities. In the initial implementation, students' increased understanding of environmental problems…

Wong, Sarah Shi Hui; Ng, Gavin Jun Peng; Tempel, Tobias; Lim, Stephen Wee Hun – Journal of Experimental Education, 2019
The impact of retrieval practice on analogical-problem-solving performance was investigated using a complex, educationally relevant task. Participants studied a statistical hypothesis testing scenario and practiced recalling the material or repeatedly studied it. Participants then completed a final test either 5 minutes or 1 week later involving a…
