Alexandra List – Journal of Experimental Education, 2024
Students' evidence-based reasoning was examined across two studies. In Study 1, students were asked to evaluate newspaper excerpts including anecdotal, descriptive, correlational, and causal evidence provided in support of causal claims as well as to justify their quality ratings for two of these excerpts. In Study 2, students' justifications for…

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…

Harwell, Michael; Maeda, Yukiko; Bishop, Kyoungwon; Xie, Aolin – Journal of Experimental Education, 2017
Measures of socioeconomic status (SES) are routinely used in analyses of achievement data to increase statistical power, statistically control for the effects of SES, and enhance causality arguments under the premise that the SES-achievement relationship is moderate to strong. Empirical evidence characterizing the strength of the SES-achievement…

McCrudden, Matthew T.; Schraw, Gregory – Journal of Experimental Education, 2009
The authors examined whether relevance instructions compensate for differences in verbal ability on measures of reading time, text recall, and sentence recognition. College students (n = 81) with higher and lower verbal ability were assigned randomly to 1 of 2 relevance-instruction conditions before reading a text. They asked participants in each…

Pittman, Laura D.; Richmond, Adeya – Journal of Experimental Education, 2007
Few researchers have considered the influence of school context, an important construct at earlier ages, on late adolescents' college adjustment. In a sample of second-semester freshmen (N = 266), the authors explored associations between a sense of school belonging and academic and psychological adjustment. Students' reports of belonging at the…

Summers, Jessica J.; Beretvas, S. Natasha; Svinicki, Marilla D.; Gorin, Joanna S. – Journal of Experimental Education, 2005
The goal of this study was to validate measures and assess the effects of collaborative group-learning methods in real classrooms on 3 specific dependent variables: feelings of campus connectedness, academic classroom community, and effective group processing (2 factors). Confirmatory factor analysis were conducted to evaluate a 4-factor model.…

McCoy, James F.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Education, 1977
Investigates the comparative effects of written as opposed to verbally stated instructions and specification of contingencies, with the written contract containing the typically used written agreement. These procedures were applied to self-managed, naturalistic behaviors, and compared to self-monitoring alone. Study-question answering and amount…

Feinberg, Lawrence B.; Halperin, Silas – Journal of Experimental Education, 1978
A sample of 278 students enrolled in an introductory statistics course was used to determine which of a set of cognitive and affective variables correlate with course performance. It is suggested that individual diagnostic profiles are useful in establishing prescriptive treatments designed to help students likely to experience difficulty in…

Smith, William L.; Swan, M. Beverly – Journal of Experimental Education, 1978
Investigates whether students at different ages write "beyond" their normal syntactic maturity. The authors also discuss whether students at different levels write at a level which is syntactically less mature than their own level and, if so, to what extent they adjust their syntax when told to write for a less mature audience.

Rankin, R. J.; Trepper, Terry – Journal of Experimental Education, 1978
Programed instruction in sex knowledge was presented via computer to 30 college students under varying conditions of informational feedback delay (IF). Immediate feedback following each response was compared with feedback following a 15-second delay for each response. Delay conditions provided significantly more retention than immediate…

Castaneda, Sandra; And Others – Journal of Experimental Education, 1987
One hundred and fifty psychology students, assigned to five groups, used different learning strategies (repetition, paraphrasing, linking, grouping, and hierarchy) to study three structurally different chemistry texts. The strategies that demanded recognition of linked relationships as well as retention of this information increased students'…

Llabre, Maria Magdalena; Froman, Terry Wayne – Journal of Experimental Education, 1987
This study compared 38 Hispanic and 28 Anglo college students with respect to the amount of time allocated to items on a reasoning test administered by microcomputer. Results suggested that a time constraint may penalize Hispanic examinees. The applicability of computerized testing for studying test-taking strategy problems is illustrated.…

Smith, H. W. – Journal of Experimental Education, 1987
The class structures of Socratic dialogue method, the traditional lecture, and personalized systems of instruction (PSI) are compared. PSI was viewed more positively by students on subjective ratings, and performance outcomes were higher with this method. Treatments offering the multiple testing option produced more positive subjective and…

Crocker, Linda; Schmitt, Alicia – Journal of Experimental Education, 1987
The effectiveness of a strategy for improving performance on multiple-choice items for examinees was assessed using an aptitude-treatment interaction model. Results showed that for low-anxious examinees, generation of an answer before selecting a response led to higher performance, but not for highly anxious examinees. (Author/JAZ)
