Background: Traditional education research often relies on static linear approaches to
measure dynamic systems involved in student information processing, overlooking the …

A critical problem with the examination of learning in education is that there is an underlying
assumption that the dynamic systems associated with student information processing can be …

Within the last 10 years, new tools for assisting in the teaching and learning of academic
skills and content within the context of science have arisen. These new tools include multiple …

In recent decades, computational tools and methods have become pervasive in
mathematical and scientific fields (National Research Council, 2010a). Tools such as …

abstract Although cognitive activity has been modeled through the lens of dynamical
systems theory, the field lacks robust demonstrations in the learning of mathematical …

An integral component of student learning is the assessment of student progress in order to
inform instructional decisions. Classroom-based assessments that are used in formative …

How can we leverage dynamic visualizations and interactive simulations to assess complex
science learning? Science systems involve many dynamic processes, and visualizations of …

Although cognitive activity has been modeled through the lens of dynamical systems theory,
the field lacks robust demonstrations in the learning of mathematical concepts. One …

The Systems Thinking and Curriculum Innovation (STACI) Project is a multi-year research
effort intended to examine the cognitive demands and consequences of learning from a …

We teach according to our understanding of how students know and learn. Conducted from
a perspective of phenomenological sociology, my research has shown that many science …
