Follari, Lissanna; Larsen, Jessi; Marquardt, Christi; Goldman, Maddie – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2021
Our 4th grade year has become known as "the field trip year", with over 10 trips carefully aligned with learning units across the year. This article describes the first trip of the year, which in many ways sets the stage for students' effective use of field trips as engaging extensions and applications of classroom learning. The Pike's…

Lorenzen, Stephan; Hjuler, Niklas; Alstrup, Stephen – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2018
Analysis of log data generated by online educational systems is an essential task to better the educational systems and increase our understanding of how students learn. In this study we investigate previously unseen data from Clio Online, the largest provider of digital learning content for primary schools in Denmark. We consider data for 14,810…

Wu, Yonghe; Guo, Shouchao; Zhu, Lijuan – Interactive Learning Environments, 2020
3D design software is a commonly used interactive learning tool in STEM education. It is generally believed that 3D design can effectively train students' spatial thinking and engineering design abilities. There have been many theoretical and practical achievements in the application of 3D printing education, but the evaluation of 3D design is…

Robertson, Judy; Tisdall, E. Kay M. – Journal of Media Literacy Education, 2020
Given the importance of data skills to the economy and the skills shortage within data science, educational policy makers have identified the importance of including technical and analytical data skills in the school curriculum. An equally important aim is to educate children and young people to become "data citizens" who are aware of…

Baroutsis, Aspa; White, Sonia L. J.; Hamilton, Annette; Jones, Madeline; Waters, Rayelene – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2018
This article encourages approaches that develop children's understandings of data representations. In particular, when children develope flexibility in their approaches to data representation and understanding, the same data can be represented in different ways. Flexible and adaptive use of representations is part of mathematics competence which…

Hugh, Maria Lemler; Conner, Carlin; Stewart, Jennifer – Office of Special Education Programs, US Department of Education, 2018
Students who are slow to respond to traditional instruction and intervention require intensified intervention. Visual Activity Schedules (VAS) are an evidence-based type of visual support that provide sequential organization of the steps for an activity or skill. VAS can be aligned with individual student needs, including behavioral support. VAS…

DiCerbo, Kristen E.; Xu, Yuning; Levy, Roy; Lai, Emily; Holland, Laura – Educational Assessment, 2017
Inferences about student knowledge, skills, and attributes based on digital activity still largely come from whether students ultimately get a correct result or not. However, the ability to collect activity stream data as individuals interact with digital environments provides information about students' processes as they progress through learning…

Day, Lorraine – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2014
Students recognise and analyse data and draw inferences. They represent, summarise and interpret data and undertake purposeful investigations involving the collection and interpretation of data… They develop an increasingly sophisticated ability to critically evaluate chance and data concepts and make reasoned judgments and decisions, as well as…

Morris, Ronald V.; Stanis, Suzanne Rollins – Childhood Education, 2017
Lessons in community building and cultural understanding are important aspects of a 21st-century education. Through such lessons, students gain the keys to societal understanding as they gain knowledge about their cultural and historical contexts, and use that understanding as a setting for exploration of deeper values, emotional experiences, and…
