We know that the task demands of cognitive tests most scores: if one version of a problem requires more work (e.g., gratuitously verbose or unclear wording, open response rather than multiple choice), people will perform worse.

It’s about false & ingrained concepts, hard to avoid & get rid of in schoolbooks, teaching or politics https://saraslistofedresources.wordpress.com
Are #philosophy students’ intuitions about thought experiments different because of expertise?
Longitudinal studies of philosophy and #CogSci students (N = 226) didn't seem to reveal as much: there were some group differences in intuitions, but a selection/indoctrination effect seemed more likely than “a general expertise” or “expertise specific to particular subfields”.
If mapping arguments improves critical thinking, then argument mapping skills should correlate with critical thinking skills, right?
Alas, they didn't correlate among 115 Advanced Placement students across 4 high schools who mapped arguments for universal basic income (from a Douglas Murray article).
Okay, corrected that Word thing. That was the easy part. I need to add a lot more activities to the Internet course. A lot more Google fetch quests. But how would I get the students to get the document to me? Oh wait, they've not even done word yet. Hmm. They've not done email yet either. Just Windows basics and their screen reader course. I mean you'd think that'd be enough but I'm trying to be fair here. I thought about maybe a flash drive, but that'd be like, a lot of work to just transfer a file. Hmm. Maybe we can get a network drive up and going or something. The students need more practice with File Explorer, the monster that it is, and copying and pasting files anyway. Ugh I so wish it were as simple as Mac or Linux. Just land in the home folder and move out from there. But oh no there's like expandable sections and the filesystem isn't laid out simply. Anyway, yeah maybe have them open notepad and write in that, save it and transfer it through the network or something. Or, sigh I could have them start uploading their work to Moodle earlier. Ugh I'm gonna hate having to go into Moodle, and push my hand all the way up to my shoulder in Moodle junk just to grab a file upload. Yeah maybe the network drive would be good enough.
I'm excited to share that I've been awarded an NSF CAREER grant. This means that over the next 5 years, I'm really going to be able to dive deep and focus on motivating effective strategies to transform student learning.
Also, I'm recruiting for new PhD students, so please share with any potential students who are interested in bridging cognitive, metacognitive, and socio-motivational processes to enhance learning!
Hi there. Welcome to the very first dutch and world #education server. Managed and run by an Educator, MIEExpert https://mastodon.education Join and share and collect all #edu news. For the the dutch are having there Holliday and this #mastoadmin send Greeting from France.
TLDR; there are least 4 problems with the claim that "Argument mapping is about twice as effective at improving student critical thinking as other methods".
