The integration of technology in entrepreneurship arithmetic that uses realistic mathematic education as the basis into learning processes is instrumental in creating understanding and problem-solving abilities among students. However, until recently only a few technology-based learning media have been developed to accommodate the aforementioned…

We present the validation of a questionnaire for compulsory secondary school students (seventh to tenth grade), designated "Educational learning environments for ESO pupils" (CEApA_ESO), for the purpose of evaluating learning environments. Although many instruments have been developed in this area, our work attempts to comprehensively…
