Abstract

Hypothesis development is a complex cognitive activity, but one that is critical as a means of reducing uncertainty during ill-structured problem solving. In this study, we examined the effect of metacognitive scaffolds in strengthening hypothesis development. We also examined the influence of hypothesis development on young adolescents' problem-solving performance. Data was collected from sixth-grade students (N = 172) using a computer-supported problem-based learning environment, Animal Investigator. The findings of the study indicated that participants using metacognitive scaffolds developed significantly better hypotheses and that hypothesis-development performance was predictive of solution-development performance. This article discusses further educational implications of the findings and future research. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Transformer Memory for Interactive Visual Navigation in Cluttered Environments

Weiyuan Li, Ruoxin Hong, Jiwei Shen, Liang Yuan, Yue Lu

Summary: Substantial progress has been made in embodied visual navigation based on RL, but the presence of interactable objects in real cluttered scenes poses a challenge for the ego-centric visual agent. To address this, the authors propose a transformer-based memory to empower agents with historical interactive information and utilize a surrogate objective to predict the next waypoint, facilitating representation learning and bootstrapping RL.

Virtual campus environments: A comparison between interactive H5P and traditional online activities in master teaching

Isabel C. Gil-Garcia, Ana Fernandez-Guillamon, M. Socorro Garcia-Cascales, Angel Molina-Garcia

Summary: Traditional face-to-face learning is being replaced or combined by virtual and digital campuses, with a variety of online activities such as H5P becoming more interactive and creative teaching strategies. A comparison between traditional online and interactive H5P activities was conducted, showing that while there was no significant improvement in average grades, students found the interactive H5P activity easier to do and felt more motivated. Teachers also noted positive effects on student participation and motivation. These results highlight the importance of incorporating digital methods alongside traditional approaches to meet the diverse needs of students.

Shaping the sensory experience in digital environments: modality, congruency, and learning

Seungoh Paek, Daniel L. Hoffman, John B. Black

Summary: This study examined how the conceptual congruency of sensory modalities influences learning in digital environments, finding that greater conceptual congruency in the aural and bodily-kinesthetic modalities led to a greater understanding of the target concept. The two modalities worked in combination to enhance participant understanding, suggesting a more-is-better impact on learning outcomes.

Teaching strategies of distance teaching applied in design discipline

Ching-Yi Wang, Cheng-Han Lin

Summary: COVID-19 has forced universities to switch to online teaching, posing challenges for design courses that emphasize on-site operation and face-to-face discussions. This study investigates the suitability and teaching strategies for distance teaching in design courses. The results show the importance of creating a communication environment and real interactive feeling, the suitability of hybrid design courses for distance teaching, the prominence of hard requirements in design practice courses, and the need to strengthen social presence in distance teaching.

Elementary students' self-regulation in computer-based learning environments: How do self-report measures, observations and teacher rating relate to task performance?

Jodie Torrington, Matt Bower, Emma C. Burns

Summary: This study investigated the relationships between different measures of self-regulation for learning (SRL) and task performance for young students learning in digital contexts. The results showed that the most effective measure of SRL was a self-report written response, which could predict task performance. Teacher ratings of students' metacognitive capability were significantly correlated with task performance and self-report instruments. The associations between observed SRL behaviors and task performance in a computer-based learning environment were weak.

Supporting the monitoring of the digital capacity of schools through optimal shortening of the SELFIE tool

Romina Cachia, Artur Pokropek, Nikoleta Giannoutsou

Summary: This article introduces a shortened version of the European Commission's SELFIE tool for measuring the digital capacity of schools. Two shorter measurement instruments, called midi-SELFIE and mini-SELFIE, are proposed based on the original tool. The validity and uses of these shortened versions are explored through various cases and compared to the complete instrument. The results suggest that the shortened versions of SELFIE are reliable alternatives for specific purposes.
