Students’ solution processes can offer significant insight into their misunderstandings. However, freeform solutions can be difficult to interpret, leading many educational technologies to examine only students’ final answers or to structure problem solving to make it more interpretable. We develop a new approach using Bayesian inverse planning for diagnosing algebra skills that interprets stud...

BACKGROUND This study tested model-driven predictions regarding working memory's role in the organizational problems associated with ADHD. METHOD Children aged 8-13 (M = 10.33, SD = 1.42) with and without ADHD (N = 103; 39 girls; 73% Caucasian/Non-Hispanic) were assessed on multiple, counterbalanced working memory tasks. Parents and teachers completed norm-referenced measures of organizationa...

Drawing on the model on financial planning for retirement (FPR), the aim of this work is to explore how parental economic socialization both directly and indirectly affects FPR through the mediation of financial literacy, financial planning decisions and financial management. Data from a sample of 280 participants aged between 45 and 63 years were used. The results show that parental economic s...

BACKGROUND Teaching medical and pharmacy students to collaborate on discharge planning for chronically ill patients may facilitate their ability to provide quality care. OBJECTIVE To determine whether a discharge curriculum would improve students' attitudes and self-assessed skills in interdisciplinary collaboration and transitional care for chronically ill patients. DESIGN The discharge cu...

The Internet has been widely adopted by travelers in the US for the purpose of planning and booking travel. Thus, the question is no longer if individuals use the Internet but how their current use influences benefits derived from using the technology for travel planning. While technology adoption has been extensively studied within the context of the technology acceptance model paradigm, no th...

Improvisational theater, creative role-playing and open-ended scenarios are increasingly being used as ways to emphasize the importance of combining planning with flexibility and evolution to respond to changes in context. These skills and capabilities are extremely valuable in teaching, especially for strengthening communication and interpersonal skills, as well as the capacity for critical th...

Complex, ill-structured problem solving is not a linear, straightforward process. Rather it is an iterative and cyclical process and involves ongoing monitoring and evaluation. Therefore, metacognition is critical for successful problem solving. Although there is no question about the importance of scaffolding in complex, ill-structured problem solving, relatively little attention has been give...
