The Importance of Explicitly Mapping Instructional Analogies in Science Education
Direct linkDirect link
Asay, Loretta Johnson – ProQuest LLC, 2013
Analogies are ubiquitous during instruction in science classrooms, yet research about the effectiveness of using analogies has produced mixed results. An aspect seldom studied is a model of instruction when using analogies. The few existing models for instruction with analogies have not often been examined quantitatively. The Teaching With…

Using Computer-Assisted Multiple Representations in Learning Geometry Proofs
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Wong, Wing-Kwong; Yin, Sheng-Kai; Yang, Hsi-Hsun; Cheng, Ying-Hao – Educational Technology & Society, 2011
Geometry theorem proving involves skills that are difficult to learn. Instead of working with abstract and complicated representations, students might start with concrete, graphical representations. A proof tree is a graphical representation of a formal proof, with each node representing a proposition or given conditions. A computer-assisted…

Nicaud, Jean Francois; Bitta, Marilena; Chaachoua, Hamid; Inamdar, Parimala; Maffei, Laura – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2006
The Aplusix system has been designed for helping students to learn algebra. Its capacity to tell the students whether their calculations are correct or not, to provide families of exercises of a chosen level, and to give scores after tests allows this system to be used in the regular functioning of the class. Its capacity to record the students'…
