Sun, Yan – Digital Experiences in Mathematics Education, 2023
Rich research evidence supporting the strong, positive connections between spatial ability and mathematical ability has been well documented. Spatial tools, such as computer-aided-design (CAD) software, have been increasingly utilized and researched for promoting mathematics learning in K--12 (kindergarten to 12th grade). Tinkercad, a free online…

Tiffany Wu; Christina Weiland – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2024
Chronic absenteeism is a critical issue that has been linked to many adverse student outcomes. The current study focuses on improving a key system already in place in many school districts--early warning systems (EWSs)--in order to decrease chronic absenteeism in students' earliest schooling years. Using a demographically diverse population of…

Imam Fitri Rahmadi; Zsolt Lavicza; Selay Arkün Kocadere; Tony Houghton; Jonathan Michael Spector – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2024
Although user-generated microgames, defined as very simple games made by non-professionals on open platforms, are popular and appear to have considerable advantages in facilitating learning, further exploration is needed to establish their potential in instructional practices. The present study investigates the design, participation and experience…

Pielsticker, Felicitas; Witzke, Ingo; Vogler, Amelie – Digital Experiences in Mathematics Education, 2021
Digital media have become increasingly important in recent years and can offer new possibilities for mathematics education in elementary schools. From our point of view, geometry and geometric objects seem to be suitable for the use of computer-aided design software in mathematics classes. Based on the example of Tinkercad, the use of CAD software…

O'Reilly, James; Barry, Brendan – Irish Educational Studies, 2023
Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and 3D printing are not new technologies but are technologies which, in recent years, have become more accessible to hobbyists and enthusiasts. Engaging with these technologies allows the user to investigate and manipulate virtual and physical 3D shapes, which may affect spatial awareness. The literature suggests that…
