Hou, Huei-Tse; Fang, Ying-Sang; Tang, Joni Tzuchen – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
Logical thinking and reasoning of geometric space are among the key abilities of science and technology education. This research developed a framework of an alternate reality-based board game incorporating augmented reality (AR) exploration with multi-dimensional scaffolding, including "cognitive scaffolding," "metacognitive…

Perdana, Riki; Jumadi, Jumadi; Rosana, Dadan – International Journal on Social and Education Sciences, 2019
This study was conducted in order to analyze the relation between analytical thinking skill and scientific argumentation in physics learning. The study was conducted with the interactive CK 12 simulation about optics. The sample of the study consists of 28 randomly selected students in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The data was collected using pre and…

Case, Catherine; Jacobbe, Tim – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2018
Although hypothesis testing is ubiquitous in data analysis, research suggests it is commonly misunderstood. Simulation-based inference methods have potential to make student thinking visible, thus providing a valuable lens to analyze developing conceptions about inference. This paper identifies difficulties made visible through simulation-based…

García, Víctor N.; Sánchez, Ernesto – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2017
In the present study we analyze how students reason about or make inferences given a particular hypothesis testing problem (without having studied formal methods of statistical inference) when using Fathom. They use Fathom to create an empirical sampling distribution through computer simulation. It is found that most student´s reasoning rely on…

Minervino, Ricardo; Trench, Máximo – Journal of Cognitive Education and Psychology, 2016
Several studies on analogical transfer to algebra word problems have demonstrated that adapting solutions learned from worked examples to nonisomorphic problems of the same type is challenging and that most instructional aids do not alleviate this difficulty. At the same time, various authors have suggested that transfer difficulties sometimes…

Buck, Zoë E.; Lee, Hee-Sun; Flores, Joanna – International Journal of Science Education, 2014
We investigated how students articulate uncertainty when they are engaged in structured scientific argumentation tasks where they generate, examine, and interpret data to determine the existence of exoplanets. In this study, 302 high school students completed 4 structured scientific arguments that followed a series of computer-model-based…
