Natalie Brezack; Wynnie Chan; Mingyu Feng – Grantee Submission, 2024
This paper explores how learning analytics data provided by a math problem-solving educational technology platform informed 5th and 6th grade teachers' instructional decisions around socioemotional learning (SEL). MathSpring is an educational technology tool that provides teachers with data on students' effort, progress, and emotions while…

Doster, Hannah; Cuevas, Josh – International Journal on Social and Education Sciences, 2021
Teaching mathematics involves a variety of techniques and approaches in order to reach students' academic needs in a way that aids them in achieving at the level required by state standards. One of the ways that educators are meeting the needs of their students is through using computer-based programs. In this study, 17 fifth grade students were…

Edelen, Daniel; Bush, Sarah B.; Nickels, Megan – Science and Children, 2019
Because students have often been conditioned as passive learners and receivers of knowledge, it can be difficult for them to persevere in solving authentic problems. Nevertheless, teachers must persist in preparing students as problem solvers and critical thinkers. In an urban inner-city neighborhood school in the southeast, students embarked on a…

Ramey, Kay E.; Stevens, Reed; Uttal, David H. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2020
This study examines the role of spatial reasoning in learning among 5th and 6th grade students participating in a set of in-school, technology-enhanced, STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) making activities. We focus our analysis on a particular type of reasoning: spatial reasoning. Prior research has shown that spatial…

Hwang, Wu-Yuin; Purba, Siska Wati Dewi; Liu, Yi-Fan; Zhang, Yun-Yuan; Chen, Nian-Shing – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2019
Geometry students have few opportunities to apply geometric concepts and solve geometry problems in authentic contexts. We developed a Ubiquitous Geometry (UG) system to teach geometry to elementary students by using it to measure common objects in authentic contexts. The instant study investigates the effects of UG on student geometry estimation…

Corum, Kimberly; Garofalo, Joe – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2016
Surface area is consistently identified as a curriculum standard for K-12 students and it regularly appears on national and international assessments. Recently, many schools began acquiring digital fabrication and advanced manufacturing equipment. The growing use of digital fabrication in classrooms raises the question of whether or not this…

Oluk, Ali; Korkmaz, Özgen – Online Submission, 2016
This study aimed to compare 5th graders' scores obtained from Scratch projects developed in the framework of Information Technologies and Software classes via Dr Scratch web tool with the scores obtained from Computational Thinking Levels Scale and to examine this comparison in terms of different variables. Correlational research model was…

Hewitt, Dave – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2014
This article analyzes the use of the software Grid Algebra with a mixed ability class of 21 nine-to-ten-year-old students who worked with complex formal notation involving all four arithmetic operations. Unlike many other models to support learning, Grid Algebra has formal notation ever present and allows students to "look through" that…

Rubin-Vaughan, Alice; Pepler, Debra; Brown, Steven; Craig, Wendy – Computers & Education, 2011
Everyday many students face bullying situations that they are ill equipped to manage. E-learning has recently emerged as a potentially effective tool in teaching children social skills, in addition to academic subject matter. Quest for the Golden Rule is one of the first bullying prevention e-learning programs available, designed by the…

Desimone, Laura; Smith, Thomas M.; Phillips, Kristie J. R. – Teachers College Record, 2013
Background/Context: Most reforms in elementary education rely on teacher learning and improved instruction to increase student learning. This study increases our understanding of which types of professional development effectively change teaching practice in ways that boost student achievement. Purpose/Objective/Research Question/Focus of Study:…

Kanive, Rebecca; Nelson, Peter M.; Burns, Matthew K.; Ysseldyke, James – Journal of Educational Research, 2014
The authors' purpose was to determine the effects of computer-based practice and conceptual interventions on computational fluency and word-problem solving of fourth- and fifth-grade students with mathematics difficulties. A randomized pretest-posttest control group design found that students assigned to the computer-based practice intervention…

van den Heuvel-Panhuizen, Marja; Kolovou, Angeliki; Robitzsch, Alexander – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2013
In this study we investigated the role of a dynamic online game on students' early algebra problem solving. In total 253 students from grades 4, 5, and 6 (10-12 years old) used the game at home to solve a sequence of early algebra problems consisting of contextual problems addressing covarying quantities. Special software monitored the…

de Kock, Willem D.; Harskamp, Egbert G. – Educational Research and Evaluation, 2014
Teachers in primary education experience difficulties in teaching word problem solving in their mathematics classes. However, during controlled experiments with a metacognitive computer programme, students' problem-solving skills improved. Also without the supervision of researchers, metacognitive computer programmes can be beneficial in a natural…

Lee, Chwee Beng; Jonassen, David; Teo, Timothy – Interactive Learning Environments, 2011
This study examines the effects of the activity of building systems models for school-based problems on problem solving and on conceptual change in elementary science classes. During a unit on the water cycle in an Asian elementary school, students constructed systems models of the water cycle. We found that representing ill-structured problems as…
