Bossé, Michael J.; Young, Erica Slate; Bayaga, Anass; Lynch-Davis, Kathleen; DeMarte, Ashley M.; Fountain, Catherine – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2020
While one branch of literature is replete with investigations of problem solving and another branch frequently investigates student use of dynamic mathematics environments (DMEs), most of the studies in both of these fields consider whether or not students can solve problems. Far fewer number of studies consider the cognitive processes associated…

Jobrack, Matthew; Bossé, Michael J.; Chandler, Kayla; Adu-Gyamfi, Kwaku – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2018
Student problem solving in the context of a dynamic mathematics environment (DME) has previously been investigated primarily through the lens of whether or not the student could complete a problem-solving task. Herein, we investigate what trajectories students employ in the realms of mathematics, technology, and problem solving as they attempt to…

Mthethwa, Mthembeni; Bayaga, Anass; Bossé, Michael J.; Williams, Derek – South African Journal of Education, 2020
In the study reported on here, we investigated the effects of the use of dynamic geometry software (DGS) (i.e., GeoGebra) on learners' learning and a teacher's beliefs. The learners and teacher involved in the study were from a high-poverty, rural high school in South Africa. We compared grade 11 learners (N = 56) who used GeoGebra in the context…
