Keles, Taliha; Yazgan, Yeliz – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
When students encounter challenging problems, difficulty or errors in the problem solving process, they must have the ability to adapt or change their problem solving methods; in other words, they must possess strategic flexibility. The aim of this study was to determine the strategic flexibility indicators displayed by gifted children in solving…

Tursucu, Süleyman; Spandaw, Jeroen; de Vries, Marc J. – Research in Science Education, 2020
Students in upper secondary education encounter difficulties in applying mathematics in physics. To improve our understanding of these difficulties, we examined symbol sense behavior of six grade 10 physics students solving algebraic physic problems. Our data confirmed that students did indeed struggle to apply algebra to physics, mainly because…

Chen, Li; Inoue, Koichi; Goda, Yoshiko; Okubo, Fumiya; Taniguchi, Yuta; Oi, Misato; Konomi, Shin'ichi; Ogata, Hiroaki; Yamada, Masanori – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2020
This study designed a science course following collaborative problem solving (CPS) processes, and examined the effect on students' CPS awareness. The "Limnic Eruption" CPS course was implemented using a Moodle system in a tenth-grade class. Considering the complex and coordinated nature of CPS, in order to improve CPS skills, it is…
