Swidan, Osama; Cusi, Annalisa; Robutti, Ornella; Arzarello, Ferdinando – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2023
This paper introduces a model built upon the Method of Varying Inquiry, offering a didactical approach to problem posing and solving activities that stimulates inquiry-based learning in mathematics classrooms. The model combines the inquiry-based framework with the variation theory and with specific didactical and theoretical elements (the…

Speldewinde, Christopher; Kilderry, Anna; Campbell, Coral – International Journal of Early Years Education, 2023
Research into pedagogical approaches used in early years' nature education, more specifically European and UK forest schools, remains according to Leather, 'undertheorised.' In a similar situation in Australia, the bush kindergarten programmes (referred to as 'bush kinders'), have had limited research attention. Influenced by European and UK…

I Made Suarsana; Al Jupri; Didi Suryadi; Elah Nurlaelah; I Gusti Nyoman Yudi Hartawan – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2025
Mathematical and computational thinking (CT) are closely interrelated, yet CT integration into mathematics instruction remains limited. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the teaching process for straight-line equations in enhancing students' CT skills and to propose improvements based on the findings. A qualitative case study…

Prain, Vaughan; Xu, Lihua; Speldewinde, Christopher – Research in Science Education, 2023
There is a long tradition of teaching science through inquiry, with broad agreement about the form it should take. Students should investigate researchable questions; gather and analyse data; and develop and represent evidence-based claims. Authoritative teacher or textbook representations are generally used to guide this learning (Buckley &…

He, Jingwen; Jin, Bihui; Xu, Zexin; Zhang, Danhui – Journal of Online Learning Research, 2022
With the development of web-based science inquiry learning, behavioral engagement in such learning contexts received more and more attention. Combined with specific science inquiry stages: comparative experiment design, implementation with computer simulation, and reflection on results, the current study explored a series of features from log data…

Yue Liu; Yuxuan Lu; Shixiu Ren; Danhui Zhang – Research in Science Education, 2024
Web-based inquiry learning provides opportunities for students to take responsibility to regulate their learning. However, due to a lack of science inquiry-specific self-regulated learning (SRL) frameworks, there is insufficient understanding of SRL processes in inquiry-based science learning. This study aims to explore students' SRL patterns by…

Liu, Min; Li, Chenglu; Pan, Zilong; Pan, Xin – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
More research is needed on how to best use analytics to support educational decisions and design effective learning environments. This study was to explore and mine the data captured by a digital educational game designed for middle school science to understand learners' behavioral patterns in using the game, and to use evidence-based findings to…

Jung, Sung Eun; Lee, Kyunghwa; Cherniak, Shara; Cho, Eunji – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2020
This case study focused on the robotics learning process of Mark (a pseudonym), a Latino-American second grader diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Drawing on Polanyi's (Personal knowledge: towards a post-critical philosophy [Kindle version], 1958/2015) notion of "tacit knowing" and "dwelling in tools," we attempted to…

Cerezci, Bilge; Chase, Elizabeth – i.e.: inquiry in education, 2022
This study explores how past and present experiences with mathematics interact as teacher candidates engage in a series of critical inquiry and reflection opportunities embedded in a mathematics methods course. The study involved 28 teacher candidates enrolled in an undergraduate education program within a large university. Data were collected…

Cardace, Amy; Wilson, Mark; Metz, Kathleen E. – Education Sciences, 2021
This paper gives an example of how to address the challenge of designing a learning progression that describes student thinking, with the necessary specificity to align instructional opportunities and assessment tools. We describe the Conceptual Underpinnings of Evolution project and the iterative process of developing a novel learning progression…

Hodgson, Louise M.; Wilkie, Karina J. – Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education, 2022
The literature highlights differing views on the efficacy of modelling lessons for teacher professional learning. In this study we draw on dissonance theory to discuss lesson modelling that seeks to transcend 'do as I do' imitation and provoke teachers' attention to intended teaching practices: a necessary pre-cursor for changes to practice. A…

Tao, Dan – ProQuest LLC, 2019
Recent reforms in science education call for efforts to engage students in authentic and sustained science practices. In order to engage students in authentic science practices, students need to enact epistemic agency over the processes of inquiry in line with how knowledge is constructed and practiced in the real world. A critical research…

Kazempour, Mahsa; Amirshokoohi, Aidin; Blamey, Katrin – European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2020
Studies focusing on pre-service teachers have shown that the inclusion of the learning cycle model in a methods course result in improvement in understanding of and attitude toward the learning cycle model of inquiry. However, pre-service teachers' understanding and beliefs about the learning cycle model may remain varied and inaccurate and their…

Godino, Juan D.; Rivas, Hernán; Burgos, María; Wilhelmi, Miguel R. – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2019
There is currently a consensus in mathematics education that favors constructivist instructional models, which are based on the inquiry of knowledge by students. There are, however, different views that consider objectivist models, based on knowledge transmission (direct or explicit teaching) more effective in the teaching of scientific…
