Özyildirim Gümüs, Feride; Zeybek, Nilüfer; Aydin, Seyda – International Online Journal of Education and Teaching, 2021
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of activity-enriched geometry teaching methods on elementary school students' perceptions, attitudes and self-efficacy towards geometry. In this context, the mixed method was determined to be the research design. Within the scope of the study, a training process was carried out with 22 students who…

Ma, Jasmine Y. – Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2016
This article explores an alternative strategy for designing hybrid instructional environments. Rather than bridging home or community funds of knowledge with school learning, I propose designing disruptions to typical school practices to invite students to recruit out-of-school resources meaningful and sensible to them in order to grapple with…

Ma, Jasmine Y. – Cognition and Instruction, 2017
This study interrogates the contributions of multi-party, whole-body interactions to students' collaboration and negotiation of mathematics ideas in a task setting called walking scale geometry, where bodies in interaction became complex resources for students' emerging goals in problem solving. Whole bodies took up overlapping roles representing…

Halat, Erdogan – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2009
The aim of this study was to examine the views of pre-service mathematics teachers on the use of webquests in teaching and learning geometry with reference to a theoretical framework developed by Dodge in 1995. For this study the researcher identified four groups containing nineteen pre-service mathematics teachers, which were then assigned to…
