  • response mode does not modulate the space time congruency effect evidence for a space time mapping at a conceptual Level
    Acta Psychologica, 2015
    Co-Authors: Verena Eikmeier, Dorothee Hoppe, Rolf Ulrich
    Abstract:

    Abstract Previous studies reported a space–time congruency effect on response time, supporting the notion that people's thinking about time is grounded in their spatial sensorimotor experience. According to a strong view of metaphoric mapping, the congruency effect should be larger for responses that differ in their spatial features than for responses that lack such differences. In contrast, a weaker version of this account posits that the grounding of time is based on higher-Level spatial concepts. In this case, response mode should not modulate the size of the space–time congruency effect. In order to assess these predictions, participants in this study responded to temporal stimuli either manually or vocally. Response mode did not modulate the space–time congruency effect which supports the weaker view of metaphoric mapping suggesting that this effect emerges at a higher Cognitive Level.

  • collaborative problem solving using public social network media analyzing student interaction and its impact to learning process
    International Journal of Digital Information and Wireless Communications, 2013
    Co-Authors: Melvin Ballera, Abdalla Radwan Ismail Ateya Lukandu
    Abstract:

    This paper examines the use of social network media at three aspects in African and Libyan perspective. Firstly, to use social network media as an open network learning environment that provide service for interaction necessary for learners to support socialization and collaboration during problem solving. Secondly, to use social media as a tool to support blended learning in e-learning system and encourage non-native English students to express their ideas and fill the gap of communication problems. Thirdly, to analyze the interaction of the learner in social media threaded messages and its relation to group and individual performance using different social schema and social network analyses. Quasi-experimental results indicate that there is an increase on the Cognitive Level of students at different Level while qualitative results reveal that it helps deepen learning, memorable, have freedom to express opinions and lessen pressure and increase communication and socialization.

  • interactions between classroom discourse teacher questioning and student Cognitive engagement in middle school science
    Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2013
    Co-Authors: Julie Smart, Jeff C Marshall
    Abstract:

    Classroom discourse can affect various aspects of student learning in science. The present study examines interactions between classroom discourse, specifically teacher questioning, and related student Cognitive engagement in middle school science. Observations were conducted throughout the school year in 10 middle school science classrooms using the Electronic Quality of Inquiry Protocol, which is designed, among other things, to measure observable aspects of student Cognitive engagement and discourse factors during science instruction. Results from these observations indicate positive correlations between students’ Cognitive engagement and the following aspects of classroom discourse: questioning Level, complexity of questions, questioning ecology, communication patterns, and classroom interactions. A sequential explanatory mixed-methods design provides a detailed look at each aspect of classroom discourse which showed a positive effect on student Cognitive Level during science instruction. Implications for classroom practice, teacher education, and professional development are discussed.

  • the relationship of teacher facilitated inquiry based instruction to student higher order thinking
    School Science and Mathematics, 2011
    Co-Authors: Jeff C Marshall, Robert M Horton
    Abstract:

    Commissions, studies, and reports continue to call for inquiry-based learning approaches in science and math that challenge students to think critically and deeply. While working with a group of middle school science and math teachers, we conducted more than 100 classroom observations, assessing several attributes of inquiry-based instruction. We sorted the observations into two groups based on whether students both explored underlying concepts before receiving explanations and contributed to the explanations. We found that in both math and science classrooms, when teachers had students both explore concepts before explanations and contribute to the explanations, a higher percent of time was spent on exploration and students were more frequently involved at a higher Cognitive Level. Further, we found a high positive correlation between the percent of time spent exploring concepts and the Cognitive Level of the students, and a negative correlation between the percent of time spent explaining concepts and the Cognitive Level. When we better understand how teachers who are successful in challenging students in higher-order thinking spend their time relative to various components of inquiry-based instruction, then we are better able to develop professional development experiences that help teachers transition to more desired instructional patterns.

  • using assessment to support higher Level learning the multiple choice item development assignment
    Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2004
    Co-Authors: Martin R Fellenz
    Abstract:

    This paper describes the multiple choice item development assignment (MCIDA) that was developed to support both content and higher Level learning. The MCIDA involves students in higher Level learning by requiring them to develop multiple choice items, write justifications for both correct and incorrect answer options and determine the highest Cognitive Level that the item is testing. The article discusses the benefits and limitations of the scheme and presents data on the largely positive student reactions to the scheme. The development of the MCIDA also serves as an example for how traditional summatively oriented assessment procedures can be developed into tools that directly support student learning.
