Dickson, Brandon; Weber, Jessica; Kotsopoulos, Donna; Boyd, Taylor; Jiwani, Sagar; Roach, Brandon – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2021
In this research we explore the pedagogical affordances associated with the use of a 3D printer in a middle school classroom (11-12 years old). We introduced the 3D printer in a classroom where no one, including the teacher, had prior knowledge of 3D printing. Lessons using the 3D printer were designed to correspond with the mathematics curriculum…

Szymanski, Antonia; Paganelli, Andrea; Tassell, Janet – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 2022
This mixed-methods study focused on advanced student engagement, mathematics competence, and the influence of teachers in classrooms that used 3D printing to teach mathematics. Quantitative methods were used to understand changes in student perceptions of competence, engagement, and feelings regarding group work. Qualitative methods were used to…

Adam Carreon; Sean J. Smith; Bruce Frey; Amber Rowland; Maggie Mosher – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2024
Virtual reality (VR) has evolved to include non-immersive to fully-immersive experiences for the classroom. This study seeks to understand the potential effects VR may offer, specifically characteristics associated with how a student experiences a VR intervention and the effects of using a VR device for learning. A group experimental design was…

Crowe, Charles D.; Hendrickson-Stives, Albanie K.; Kuhn, Stephanie L.; Jackson, Jennifer B.; Keating, Christine D. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
The interaction between water and surfaces is observed in our daily lives and is used in laboratories to study materials properties, such as interfacial tension. Making the connection between fundamental scientific phenomena and everyday observations is a powerful method of highlighting the importance and relevance of science to the K-12…
