The EdSurvey package helps users download, explore variables in, extract data from, and run analyses on large-scale assessment data. The analysis functions in EdSurvey account for the use of plausible values for test scores, survey sampling weights, and their associated variance estimator. We describe the capabilities of the package in the context…

Several studies on student's understanding of the concept of the tangent line agree that the difficulties students have when dealing with lines tangent to curves at inflection points or tangent lines that have more than one point in common with the curve are due to a misconception of tangency that is limited to the geometric relationship between…

Engineering design that requires mathematical analysis, scientific understanding, and technology is critical for preparing students for solving engineering problems. In simulated design environments, students are expected to learn about science and engineering through their design. However, there is a lack of understanding concerning linking…

In 2022, generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) chatbots like ChatGPT were released to the public and were rapidly embraced by many. Educational stakeholders are divided about whether to incorporate or ban chatbot usage in classrooms. Student engagement, a meta construct comprised of behavioral, cognitive, affective, and social components, is…

Gifted and talented students with an interest in technology can use their advanced cognitive abilities to create webinars and workshops, research presentations, artistic showcases, literary discussions in a variety of languages, digital portfolios, and community and club activities. With YouTube evolving into a primary source of information among…

Prior work has developed a range of automated measures ("detectors") of student self-regulation and engagement from student log data. These measures have been successfully used to make discoveries about student learning. Here, we extend this line of research to an underexplored aspect of self-regulation: students' decisions about when to…

The role of virus is an essential material that is not discussed completely in the lesson because of the limited information presented in the reference book. The role of viruses is important to learn because it can increase knowledge and know the role of viruses in life. This research aims to (1) develop interactive learning media based on…

Background/purpose: In the modernized society with advanced technology, as education becomes increasingly dependent on information technology, there is a need to prepare the next generation of students with a wide variety of skills and abilities necessary for future scientific careers. Modern educational challenges include the task of engaging…

This study aims to examine the mathematical reasoning and proof processes of gifted students within the framework of Toulmin's Argumentation Model. Grounded in the Rich Teaching Model, the instructional design included seven differentiated lesson plans. The research was conducted with two 9th-grade students in a Science and Art Centre over 20…

This paper quantifies learning losses between 2020 and 2022 in the Dominican Republic, an upper-middle-income country. The paper uses data from a sample of ninth-grade students who benefited from computer adaptive learning software during this period. This study is among a few to measure actual losses among secondary school students, and it is the…

This article focuses on the possible relationship between predictions, developed during the resolution of geometrical tasks within a Paper-and-Pencil Environment (PPE), and subsequent explorations within a Dynamic Geometry Environment (DGE). Building on Fischbein's Theory of Figural Concepts, and to gain insight into the transition of predictions…

The purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to determine if and to what extent statistically significant correlations exist between high school STEM teachers' attitudes toward the use of computer technology and the duration of software utilization in their classrooms in the United States. This research was based on the Unified Theory…

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…

Background: Writing is integral to educational success at all levels and to success in the workplace. However, low literacy is a global challenge, and many students lack sufficient skills to be good writers. With the rapid advance of technology, computer-based tools that provide automated feedback are being increasingly developed. However, mixed…

Aim/Purpose: This study explored the limited research on the challenges and opportunities faced by students when creating function art using GeoGebra, addressing a gap in the literature that focuses on student outputs and engagement. It addressed the need to understand how students engage with function art and the difficulties they encounter in…
