Simsek, Kemal; Aytaç, Aysun; Ipek, Jale – Journal of Educational Technology, 2022
This study aimed to define the concepts and learning objectives related to the polygons sub-learning area of the 7th - grade mathematics course as ontology-based and to develop a measurement tool based on this ontology within the framework of competency ontology. In this study, we determined and included the learning objectives in the ontology…

Forsythe, Sue; Cook, Dave – Mathematics Teaching, 2012
Geometer Sketchpad is far from a new innovation, but its potential in the classroom is probably still understated. The application described here can be replicated in any classroom, and the impact on learning is likely to be significant. The experiences documented are "real", and show how a software package can enhance an area of the mathematics…

Computer-Based Learning of Geometry from Integrated and Split-Attention Worked Examples: The Power of Self-Management
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Tindall-Ford, Sharon; Agostinho, Shirley; Bokosmaty, Sahar; Paas, Fred; Chandler, Paul – Educational Technology & Society, 2015
This research investigated the viability of learning by self-managing split-attention worked examples as an alternative to learning by studying instructor-managed integrated worked examples. Secondary school students learning properties of angles on parallel lines were taught to integrate spatially separated text and diagrammatic information by…

Ozgun-Koca, S. Asli; Edwards, Thomas G. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2011
A common activity--having students collect data to measure the radius and circumference of circular objects--can be given a new twist. These data can be viewed virtually using technology. A dynamic geometry environment coupled with the powerful capabilities of a spreadsheet can greatly enhance student learning. The activity in this article…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Masters, Jessica – Journal of Technology, Learning, and Assessment, 2010
An online interactive geometry item was developed to explore students' abilities to create prototypical and "tilted" rectangles out of line segments. The item was administered to 1,002 students. The responses to the item were hand-coded as correct, incorrect, or incorrect with possible evidence of a misconception. A variation of the nearest…

Assessing Logo Programming among Jordanian Seventh Grade Students through Turtle Geometry
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Khasawneh, Amal A. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2009
The present study is concerned with assessing Logo programming experiences among seventh grade students. A formal multiple-choice test and five performance tasks were used to collect data. The results provided that students' performance was better than the expected score by the probabilistic laws, and a very low correlation between their Logo…
