Anxiety about Mathematics and Reading in Preadolescents Is Domain-Specific KU Leuven
It was investigated whether test anxiety (TA), mathematics anxiety (MA), and reading anxiety (RA) can be traced back to some type of general academic anxiety or whether these are separable. A total of 776 fifth graders (Mage = 10.9 years) completed questionnaires on TA, MA, and RA, as well as a mathematics test. Also, mathematics and reading performance results from the National Tracking System were requested. The sample was randomly split into ...
Future preschool teachers' mathematical questions during shared book reading KU Leuven
Recent studies demonstrated that the adult-preschooler interaction during shared book reading (SBR) contributes to its effectiveness (Mol et al., 2008). The level of abstraction, or complexity, of the mathematical questions adults formulate during SBR serves as an indicator of the interaction quality. We aimed to investigate the chance of spontaneously formulating a mathematical question and the level of abstraction of the mathematical questions ...
Effectiveness of a 3D simulation tool to teach the designing of metal removable partial dentures: a mixed-method study KU Leuven
INTRODUCTION: Acquiring insights into the framework design of metal-based removable partial dentures (mRPD) is a current challenge in dental education. The aim of the present study was to explore the effectiveness of a novel 3D simulation tool to teach designing mRPD by investigating the learning gain and the acceptance and motivation towards the tool of dental students. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A 3D tool based on 74 clinical scenarios was ...
