Žakelj, Amalija; Klancar, Andreja – European Journal of Educational Research, 2022
Visual representations and the process of visualisation have an important role in geometry learning. The optimal use of visual representations in complex multimedia environments has been an important research topic since the end of the last century. For the purpose of the study presented in this paper, we designed a model of learning geometry with…

Celen, Yeliz – Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology - TOJET, 2020
Mathematics as a discipline requires abstract operations under many sub-learning areas is considered hard by students to learn. In this respect, it has become indispensable to make mathematics teaching processes fun and to structure teaching procedures by using different teaching methods, techniques or materials. In this context, the purpose of…

Grover, Shuchi; Jackiw, Nicholas; Lundh, Patrik – Computer Science Education, 2019
Background and Context: Learners struggle with conceptual understanding of introductory programming concepts such as variables, expressions, and loops. Objective: We examine whether and how designed activities for conceptual exploration support preliminary engagement with and learning of foundational and often hard-to-grasp programming concepts…

Cochran, Jill A.; Cochran, Zane; Laney, Kendra; Dean, Mandi – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2016
With the rise of personal desktop 3D printing, a wide spectrum of educational opportunities has become available for educators to leverage this technology in their classrooms. Until recently, the ability to create physical 3D models was well beyond the scope, skill, and budget of many schools. However, since desktop 3D printers have become readily…

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…

Kynigos, Chronis; Psycharis, Giorgos – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2013
In this paper we aim to contribute to the process of networking between theoretical frames in mathematics education by means of forging connections between Constructionism and Instrumental Theory to discuss a design for instrumentalisation. We specifically focus on instrumentalisation, i.e. the ways in which students make changes to digital…

Lee, Chun-Yi; Chen, Ming-Jang – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2015
In teaching geometry, most instructors opt for direct demonstration with detailed explanations; however, under this kind of instruction students face considerable difficulties in the development of the reasoning skills required to deal with problems of a geometric nature. This study adopted a nonequivalent pretest-postest quasi-experimental design…

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…

Soucie, Tanja; Radovic, Nikol; Svedrec, Renata; Kokic, Ivana – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2011
Studying geometry is an integral component of learning mathematics because it allows students to analyse and interpret the world they live in as well as equip them with tools they can apply in other areas of mathematics. Therefore, students need to develop an understanding of geometric concepts as well as gaining adequate geometry related skills.…
