Debora Lui; Deborah A. Fields; Yasmin B. Kafai – Cognition and Instruction, 2024
Debugging (or troubleshooting) provides a rich context to foster problem-solving. Yet, while we know much about some problems and strategies that novices face in programming on-screen, we know far less about debugging and troubleshooting in the context of physical computing, where coding issues may overlap with materially embedded problems. In…

Erëmirë R. Aliu; Teuta Jusufi Zenku; Egzona Iseni; Shpetim Rexhepi – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2025
This study explores the effectiveness of GeoGebra in enhancing students' understanding of vectors in mathematics education. The research compares traditional teaching methods with the application of GeoGebra to determine its impact on conceptual and procedural knowledge acquisition. Vectors are often challenging for students to grasp due to their…

Xing, Wanli; Li, Chenglu; Chen, Guanhua; Huang, Xudong; Chao, Jie; Massicotte, Joyce; Xie, Charles – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
Integrating engineering design into K-12 curricula is increasingly important as engineering has been incorporated into many STEM education standards. However, the ill-structured and open-ended nature of engineering design makes it difficult for an instructor to keep track of the design processes of all students simultaneously and provide…

Yildiz, Avni – Malaysian Online Journal of Educational Technology, 2016
Geometric constructions have already been of interest to mathematicians. However, studies on geometric construction are not adequate in the relevant literature. Moreover, these studies generally focus on how secondary school gifted students solve non-routine mathematical problems. The present study aims to examine the geometric construction…

Palatnik, Alik; Koichu, Boris – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2014
The goal of the study was to reconstruct and dismantle a sequence of events that preceded an insight solution to a challenging problem by a ninth-grade student. A three-week long solution process was analysed by means of the theory of shifts of attention. We argue that concurrent focusing on what, how and why the student attends to when working on…

Bhagat, Kaushal Kumar; Chang, Chun-Yen – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2015
Students often find geometrical concepts abstract and difficult to understand. This results in poor performance, which contributes in the declining interest in geometry. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of using the free educational software program, "GeoGebra" on 9th grade student's mathematics achievement in learning…

Brandt, Rusty; Bercovitz, Elizabeth; McNally, Susan; Zimmerman, Linda – Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, 2015
A usability study was conducted by the Research and Innovation Network and Assessment Solutions Design to assess the usability of a drawing response interaction type. The Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) commissioned a multi-part study to determine the viability of using the drawing response interaction on…

Beal, Carole R.; Stevens, Ronald H. – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2011
Recent assessments indicate that American students do not score well on tests of scientific problem solving, relative to students in other nations. IMMEX is a web-based virtual environment that provides students with opportunities to solve science problems by viewing information resources through a suite of menu options, developing a hypothesis…

Hegedus, Stephen; Dalton, Sara; Brookstein, Arden; Tapper, John; Heller, Eric – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2011
The authors' proposed work builds upon 12+ years of research collectively known as the "SimCalc Projects." SimCalc Connected MathWorlds (SCM) combines two innovative technological ingredients to address core mathematical ideas in deep and sustainable ways for mathematics learners. Software that addresses content issues through dynamic…

Rafferty, Anna N., Ed.; Whitehill, Jacob, Ed.; Romero, Cristobal, Ed.; Cavalli-Sforza, Violetta, Ed. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2020
The 13th iteration of the International Conference on Educational Data Mining (EDM 2020) was originally arranged to take place in Ifrane, Morocco. Due to the SARS-CoV-2 (coronavirus) epidemic, EDM 2020, as well as most other academic conferences in 2020, had to be changed to a purely online format. To facilitate efficient transmission of…

Dwyer, Jerry; Moskal, Barbara; Duke, Billy; Wilhelm, Jennifer – Mathematics Teaching Incorporating Micromath, 2007
This article describes the work of outreach mathematicians introducing the topic of complex variables to eighth and ninth grade students (13- to 15-year-olds) in the US. Complex variables is an area of mathematics that is not typically studied at secondary level. The authors developed seven lessons designed to stimulate students' interest in…

What Works Clearinghouse, 2007
The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) reviewed interventions to promote middle school students' math knowledge and skills. Because there is some variation in how school districts organize middle school, we considered curricula aimed at students in grades 6 through 9, covering one or more of the following content areas: numbers and operations,…
