Comparing apples and oranges? A critical look at research on learning from statics versus animations
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science, 2016-11)Many of the studies that have compared the instructional effectiveness of static with dynamic images have not controlled all the moderating variables involved. This problem is present not only in instructional pictures ... -
Analysis of lexical quality and its relation to writing quality for 4th grade, primary school students in Chile
(Springer, 2016)Few studies have addressed vocabulary quality in developing writing skill in Spanish. Even less addressed it within the Chilean educational system. The specific objective of this study was to characterize, using a comprehensive ... -
Metaphors and development of mathematical thinking: as soon as possible!
(Unic Matanzas, 2016)This work promotes the teaching of mathematics at an early age, classes and sessions designed to promote early learning math concepts, which have arisen from informal meetings with education professionals at all levels ... -
Education for all and attrition/retention of new teachers: A trajectory study in Chile

Ways of making-sense: Local gamma synchronization reveals differences between semantic processing induced by music and language
(Elsevier, 2016)Similar to linguistic stimuli, music can also prime the meaning of a subsequent word. However, it is so far unknown what is the brain dynamics underlying the semantic priming effect induced by music, and its relation to ... -

Long-distance neural synchrony correlates with processing strategies to compare fractions
(Elsevier, 2014)Adults use different processing strategies to work with fractions. Depending on task requirements, theymay analyze the fraction components separately (componential processing strategy, CPS) or consider thefraction as a ... -
