In this study, 9th-grade students (N = 196) with a mean age of 14.7 years read scientific text explaining the chemical process doing laundry soap and water then took 3 tests. Students who were instructed to generate drawings during learning scored higher than only on subsequent tests transfer (d 0.91), retention 0.87), drawing 2.00). For learning, those generated high-accuracy (according median split) low-accuracy 0.99), 0.79), 1.87); furthermore, drawing-accuracy scores correlated...

Context: The liquisolid technology is a promising technique for the release enhancement of poorly soluble drugs. With this approach, liquids such as solutions or suspensions drugs in non-volatile liquid vehicle are transformed into acceptably flowing and compressible powders. As fast-release compacts require high amount vehicle, more effective tableting excipients adsorption needed to reduce tablet weight.Objective: aim study was investigate suitability various novel carrier coating...

Abstract. Forty-five university students participated in a computer-based training program on self-regulated learning from expository text. The introduced to strategy helping them identify and highlight important text information. Students were randomly assigned three treatment groups: (1) no at all, (2) highlighting only, or (3) combined both self-regulation. After completing the training, instructed read an instructional apply trained strategies. extent which they applied strategies while...

Asking students to imagine the spatial arrangement of elements in a scientific text constitutes learning strategy intended foster deep processing instructional material.Two experiments investigated effects mental imagery prompts on from text.Students read computer-based human respiratory system (control group), while being asked form an image corresponding each 9 paragraphs (imagery or and with seeing onscreen drawing before paragraph (picture-before-imagery group) after...

In 2 experiments, college students read a 4-paragraph text on how the human circulatory system works and were instructed to form mental image of events described in each paragraph from perspective their own body (first-person group) or fictitious person facing them (third-person group), given no imagination instructions (control group). Students who imagined first-person outperformed control group solving transfer problems, retaining important material, not unimportant material Experiments 1...

This study investigated the role of strategy-based motivation (SBM) in solving real-world geometry problems. Students from 19 classes (N = 437) were assigned to strategy training or control condition. Before treatment, students asked about their SBM (i.e., self-efficacy, cost, and value). After they instructed generate drawings solve The results revealed that self-efficacy expectations cost (but not value) regarding drawing predicted quality performance. relation between performance was...

The ability to learn in a self-regulated way is important for adolescents' academic achievements.Monitoring one's own learning prerequisite skill successful learning.However, accurate monitoring has been found be difficult adolescents, especially problemsolving tasks such as can math and biology.This study investigated whether self-explaining strategy, which effective improving accuracy from text, improve regulation-choice effectiveness, problem-solving performance secondary biology...

Abstract Making drawings can help students avoid and overcome difficulties they encounter when solving real‐world (or modeling) problems. However, many do not make spontaneously. In the present study, 132 in Grades 9 10 were randomly assigned to experimental conditions “with situational or mathematical drawing instructions” control condition “without instructions.” Multilevel path analyses showed that instructions had a positive total effect on performance, was transmitted via use of...

The use of self-generated drawings has been found to be a powerful strategy for problem solving. However, many students do not engage in drawing activities. In this study, we investigated the effects enjoyment strategy, anxiety about and prior intramathematical performance on modelling performance. We explored role as mediator between emotions whether moderated (N = 220, mean age 14.5 years). Enjoyment with respect generating predicted strategy. positively affected indirectly via Anxiety...
