Linguistic

This database provides resources on the role of language in teaching and learning e.g. studying how the 'register' of language is acquired by learners to talk about maths or physics, also capturing discourse and dialogue from groups of learners. Could also include use of language games to stimulate learning discussions and overcome shyness.

1 Verbal reports as data.Ericsson, K., & Simon, H. (1980) Psychological Review article. Human information processing approach to elicitation and capture of verbal reports from participants as a source of data - discusses effects of instructions, tasks and other experimental factors. journal paper
2 Accessing problem-solving strategy knowledge: the complementary use of concurrent verbal protocols and retrospective debriefing. Taylor, K. L. & Dionne, J.-P. (2000) Journal of Educational Psychology article. Explores and comapres use of 2 forms of verbal reports: concurrent verbal protocols (CVP) and retrospective debriefings (RD) as sources of data regarding problem-solving strategies.

3 Do Procedures for Verbal Reporting of Thinking Have to Be Reactive?A Meta-Analysis and Recommendations for Best Reporting Methods. Fox, M.C., Ericsson, A. and Best, R. (2011) Psychological Bulletin, 137(2) "In this article, Ericsson and Simon’s model is tested by a meta-analysis of 94 studies comparing performance while giving concurrent verbalisations to a matching condition without verbalization. Findings based on nearly 3,500 participants show that the “think-aloud” effect size is indistinguishable from zero (r  –.03) and that this procedure remains nonreactive even after statistically controlling additional factors such as task type (primarily visual or nonvisual). In contrast, procedures that entail describing or explaining thoughts and actions are significantly reactive, leading to higher performance than silent control conditions. All verbal reporting procedures tend to increase times to complete tasks. These results suggest that think-aloud should be distinguished from other methods in future studies. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed." URL
