Tejaswini Dalvi; Kristen Wendell – School Science and Mathematics, 2024
Insights on students' own authentic design practices--nascent design practices without much adult guidance--are crucial to informing responsive facilitation of engineering design tasks. This study unpacks how elementary students interpret teacher given information about a design task, and interact with each other and given resources, to traverse a…

Pelizzari, Federica; Marangi, Michele; Rivoltella, Pier Cesare; Peretti, Giulia; Massaro, Davide; Villani, Daniela – Research on Education and Media, 2023
We propose the results of a research that combines the educational and psychological media approach, to verify the pedagogical potential of coding and robotics in the learning processes of 4-year-old children at the cognitive and socio-relational level. The study investigated the impact of unplugged and plugged coding on the skills of spatiality,…

Osana, Helena P.; Wagner, Vera; Navarrete-Ulloa, Jairo A. – School Science and Mathematics, 2023
The hundreds chart is a valuable tool for teachers in elementary mathematics classrooms. The present study investigated the effects of spatial configurations of virtual hundreds charts on children's knowledge of base-ten concepts. Kindergarten and first-grade students were assigned to three instructional conditions in which they worked with a…

Xin Gong; Weiqi Xu; Shufan Yu; Jingjing Ma; Ailing Qiao – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2025
Tangible programming tools have become a mainstream teaching aid in gamification programming learning (GPL) due to their interactivity and ability to enhance novice learners' computational thinking and spatial reasoning skills. However, comparing the relative efficacy of different programming tools that simultaneously support these skills was not…

Albarracín, Lluís; Hernàndez-Sabaté, Aura; Gorgorió, Núria – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
In this article, we present an educational proposal designed to work on spatial geometry and three-dimensional thinking with students in the last years of Primary Education. The proposal is comprised of several activities that combine the use of a classroom videogame and working with manipulative materials to create a representation of the…

Kaiwen Man; Joni M. Lakin – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2024
Eye-tracking procedures generate copious process data that could be valuable in establishing the response processes component of modern validity theory. However, there is a lack of tools for assessing and visualizing response processes using process data such as eye-tracking fixation sequences, especially those suitable for young children. This…

Antrilli, Nick K.; Wang, Su-hua – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2023
Technology is transforming children's lived experience with spatial play. In particular, parents may interact with children differently depending on whether they play together with tangible or digital materials. The present research examined whether the medium for play (tangible or digital) affected kindergarten-aged children's language experience…

Slki Narae Lim – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Computational thinking (CT) is a critical problem-solving skill that can help students be successful in school and the 21st-century workplace (Wing, 2006). This project builds on past research showing that educational robotics can be a useful and cost-effective means to teach CT to primary school students. Past research has not yet resolved…

Eugene Geist; D'wana Webb – Childhood Education, 2024
The standby wooden blocks that are prevalent in most high-quality early childhood classrooms are missing from most primary and elementary grades. The goal for block play in early childhood is to support learning in mathematics, science, art, literacy and language arts, physical development, social studies, and social and emotional growth. This…

Putrawangsa, Susilahuddin; Patahuddin, Sitti – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2022
This study enquires into the embodied processes of children in solving multiplication tasks, considering how such processes can expand access to spatial reasoning skills and simultaneously develop students' understanding of multiplication. The analysis focused on four Year 2 students as they completed two embodied tasks. The aim was to understand…

Ali Bicer; Scott A. Chamberlin; Karla Matute; Traci Jackson; Geoff Krall – Research in Mathematics Education, 2024
The purpose of this study was to quantify the relationship between pre-service teachers' spatial visualisation skills and their mathematical creativity through problem-posing tasks. A group of 62 pre-service teachers completed the Purdue Spatial Visualisation test and took the mathematical creativity test through problem-posing tasks. Pearson's…

Rivella, Carlotta; Cornoldi, Cesare; Caviola, Sara; Giofrè, David – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
It has been suggested that not only domain-specific factors but also working memory (WM) may play a crucial role in mathematical learning included Geometry, but the issue has not been deeply explored. In the present study, we examined the role of domain-specific factors and of verbal versus visuospatial WM on geometric learning of a new…

Lee, Hwa Young; Hardison, Hamilton L.; Kandasamy, Sindura; Guajardo, Lino – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2020
In this report, we present how one prospective elementary teacher (PT) engaged in the Ant Farm Task, which we designed to investigate PTs' reasoning about coordinate systems. We highlight the cognitive resources the PT drew upon in solving the task via the establishment of a Cartesian coordination and consider educational implications. [For the…

Tekbiyik, Ahmet; Baran Bulut, Demet; Sandalci, Yalçin – Journal of Pedagogical Research, 2022
The present study focuses on the assessment of summer robotics camp designed for 7th grade students who were supposed to work on a STEM-related problem through modeling and design activities. It was exclusively investigated the effects of these activities on the STEM-related career interests and knowledge structures of students. The students were…

Livy, Sharyn; Hamilton, Scott; Downton, Ann – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2022
The purpose of this article is to report how Year 6 teachers used geometric reasoning tasks to foster students' mathematical attitudes and dispositions by encouraging communication as students constructed mathematical meaning for themselves. The Year 6 teachers implemented two tasks to provide a rich mathematical assessment opportunity…
