Are direct effects of cognitive activation on student outcomes enough? Exploring the role of adaptation and use of opportunities
Background
Although cognitive activation has been receiving growing scholarly attention, research findings on its contribution to student outcomes have been inconclusive. We argue that this might be due to two core conditions not investigated by many studies: learning opportunities related to cognitive activation ought to be adapted to student needs and students must make use of the provided opportunities to learn.
Aims
We tested this argument by comparing a model that included only direct effects of cognitive activation on student cognitive and affective outcomes against moderation, mediation, and moderated mediation models that incorporated the effects of adaptation and use of opportunities.
Sample
Our sample included 496 teachers and 13,326 secondary school students from six educational systems that had participated in the TALIS Video study.
Methods
We first estimated multilevel path models with separate parameter estimations for each educational system. Then we quantified the overall effects and degree of heterogeneity, testing whether: (a) adaptation moderates the effect of cognitive activation on student achievement/interest at T2 while controlling for T1, (b) depth of processing mediates this effect, and (c) adaptation moderates the mediated effect between cognitive activation and student achievement/interest via depth of processing.
Results
The direct-effects model yielded inconclusive results. The most encouraging, yet still somewhat mixed, results emerged from the mediation model.
Conclusions
While some of the more complex models show promise in capturing the impact of teaching on student outcomes, the varied findings across educational systems, analysis levels, and outcomes suggest diverse mechanisms in how teaching contributes to learning.
期刊介绍:
As an international, multi-disciplinary, peer-refereed journal, Learning and Instruction provides a platform for the publication of the most advanced scientific research in the areas of learning, development, instruction and teaching. The journal welcomes original empirical investigations. The papers may represent a variety of theoretical perspectives and different methodological approaches. They may refer to any age level, from infants to adults and to a diversity of learning and instructional settings, from laboratory experiments to field studies. The major criteria in the review and the selection process concern the significance of the contribution to the area of learning and instruction, and the rigor of the study.
