Jesús E. Hernández-Zavaleta; Corey Brady; Sandra Becker; Douglas B. Clark – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2025
Research on geometric transformations suggests that early learners possess intuitive understandings grounded in motion metaphors, transitioning to mappings. The processes through which students transition between these two conceptions are not fully understood. We propose that Vygotskian hybridizing (related to Vygotsky's articulation of everyday…

Daher, Wajeeh – Computers in the Schools, 2022
The robotics context is suggested as a context that supports the learning of the sciences including mathematics. The present study investigates how the robotics context affects students' motivation for learning mathematics. Two groups of seventh-grade students participated in the present research: a robotics class (32 students) and a regular class…

Dikkartin Övez, Filiz Tuba; Acar, Irem Gizem – Journal of Educational Technology and Online Learning, 2022
The aim of study to investigate the effects of block-based game development activities carried out on the goal-based scenario approach on the geometry achievement and computational thinking skills of seventh-grade students and to reveal their opinions regarding the process. The study used a one-group pretest-posttest experimental model an…

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…
