Saeed Salimpour; Michael T. Fitzgerald – Science & Education, 2024
Modern astronomy as a field of inquiry may be shaped by what we consider the "scientific" ways of knowing. However, the history of astronomy as a human endeavour dates back millennia before the "modern" notions of "science". This long history means that astronomy is, at its core, built on a rich cultural diversity and…

Ernesto Peña – Journal of Visual Literacy, 2025
Silos are an undeniable and unavoidable reality of knowledge production, particularly within academia. For those who choose to navigate between disciplinary boundaries, as opposed to within them, it is not uncommon to find similar concepts developing in parallel in two or more completely different fields of study. These silos tend to be not just…

Slim Ben-Said; Jo Shan Fu; Hui-Chin Yeh – Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, 2025
This study explores the integration of multiple sign systems within the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) reading curriculum for undergraduates in Taiwan, addressing varied learning styles that are often overlooked by conventional curricular methods. The purpose is to investigate how incorporating semiotics can enhance learning engagement and…

Ingi Heinesen Højsted; Maria Alessandra Mariotti – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
This article reports on the design and implementation of a didactic sequence in the frame of a design-based research study. The research aim is to test the hypothesis that affordances of dynamic geometry may support students' awareness of logical relationships between geometrical properties of constructed figures. We elaborate on the task design…

Alma Jahic Pettersson; Kristina Danielsson; Carl-Johan Rundgren – Research in Science Education, 2025
Previous research suggests that the use of metaphors in science education have both possibilities and challenges. In this study, we analyse the role of metaphors in meaning-making in the upper primary science classroom. We investigate the potential of metaphors about nutrient uptake occurring in classrooms in which an animation was used. To…

William H. Collinge – Journal of Civil Engineering Education, 2024
Civil engineers and project managers must control and manage the project management discourse with the client and other stakeholders or risk slippages to time, cost, and programs. This paper explores how communicative choices and the representation of project requirements and engineering issues are intrinsic to effective civil engineering work.…

Maria Varelas; Amanda R. Diaz; Rebecca Kotler; Rebecca Woodard; Ronan Rock; Zachary Sabitt; Nathan Phillips; Rachelle Tsachor; Marcie Gutierrez; Hannah Natividad; Derek Threewitt; Jaegen Ellison – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2024
We explored the semiotic choices children in grades 1-6 made that nurtured embodied, dramatizing performances in science classes at urban public schools, serving predominantly students of color in a large US city. We studied how such choices in school and home settings (when instruction was remote during the COVID-19 pandemic) were implicated in…

Anneli Dyrvold; Ida Bergvall – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2024
This article explores how seven Swedish digital teaching platforms in mathematics make use of the affordances provided by various modalities and dynamic functions. A model based on social semiotics is used to analyse how dynamic functions are used, whether or not the language is technically oriented, if relational or operational processes are…

Eduardo Fleury Mortimer; Renata Reis Pereira – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2024
Background: Science teaching and learning, as discursive practices, occur through the utilization of various semiotic modes. Gestures play a pivotal role as an embodied mode that acts in conjunction with speech in oral communication settings, such as classrooms. Previous research on gestures in chemistry and science education has illuminated how…

Roberto Capone; Maria Giuseppina Adesso; Carola Manolino; Riccardo Minisola; Ornella Robutti – Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education, 2024
This paper describes a Lesson Study in which in-service mathematics secondary-school teachers, collaborating with researchers, involve grade 10 students in tessellation problems. The data are collected by an experiment carried out in the context of the "Liceo Matematico" project, with three volunteer teachers. The experiment goal was to…

Umid Khodjamkulov; Kudratbek Makhmudov; Diana Abduramanova; Diana Ruzmetova; Lutfillo Akhatov; Feruza Djabbarova – International Journal of Language Education, 2024
This paper examines the cultural implications of Gothic-themed lexemes in English and Uzbek, emphasizing their linguistic structures and semiotic meanings as well as educational implications. We have tried to do a comparative linguistic analysis to investigate lexemes from literary texts, dictionaries, and cultural studies, revealing their…

Dragana Martinovic, Editor; Marcel Danesi, Editor – Springer, 2025
This book focuses on the potential contributions of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for enhancing mathematics education. It includes rationales for an AI-oriented pedagogical model, such as interdisciplinarity and even sensitivity to crucial world issues, such as climate change. The chapters in this book highlight what the new age of mathematics…

Ezgi Özlav; Mustafa Akinci – Journal of Pedagogical Research, 2024
In this study on concepts of geometry, the gestures and mimics used by the mathematics teachers working in school for the deaf to define some mathematical concepts with the sign language were investigated. The research employed the structured interview technique, a qualitative research method. Data were collected through interviews and video…

Ayça K. Fackler; Ruth M. Harman – Science Education, 2025
Recent research has focused on innovative instructional shifts that aim to expand what constitutes science and engineering practices, exploring also how they can build on students' diverse language resources in science learning. However, few studies explore the intersections of elementary teacher preparation and the implementation of science and…

Yun-Ping Ge; Wen-Jin Yang; Hak-Ping Tam – International Journal of Science Education, 2025
This study based on cognitive and social semiotic theories investigates whether the influence of specific features of instructional representation from adolescent textbook images could last until adulthood in certain cultures. Two cultural groups, Indonesian (n = 61) and Taiwanese (n = 60) college students, were recruited from a public Taiwanese…
