The Challenges of Defining and Measuring Student Engagement in Science (2015, background): “Heddy and Sinatra (2013) showed that students in a high engagement instructional condition showed greater conceptual change related to evolution than those in a low engagement instructional condition.”
Translating the ICAP Theory of Cognitive Engagement Into Practice (2018, background): “Positive emotions promote greater engagement than negative emotions (Broughton, Sinatra, & Nussbaum, 2013); in turn, this greater engagement associated with positive emotions results in increased academic achievement (Heddy & Sinatra, 2013; Pekrun & Linnenbrink-Garcia, 2012).”
Transfer of Life Skills in Sport-Based Youth Development Programs: A Conceptual Framework Bridging Learning to Application (2018, background): “…provided empirical evidence for participants’ transferring skills from one context to another related to topics as diverse as science education (Heddy & Sinatra, 2013; Pugh, Linnenbrink-Garcia, Koskey, Stewart, & Manzey, 2010), adventure education (Sibthorp, 2003), and foreign language…”
Addressing Challenges to Public Understanding of Science: Epistemic Cognition, Motivated Reasoning, and Conceptual Change (2014, background): “Efforts to overcome these misconceptions have met with modest success (Heddy & Sinatra, 2013), but the number of U.S. citizens who reject the scientific view of evolution has held rather constant for several decades, suggesting that social, emotional, and motivational change would have to accompany…”
Measuring Cognitive Engagement With Self-Report Scales: Reflections From Over 20 Years of Research (2015, background): “In an extension of the Pugh et al. study, Heddy and Sinatra (2013) provided evidence that transformative experience facilitated conceptual change based on scores on the Evolutionary Reasoning Scale.”
