Bone, Erin K.; Bouck, Emily C.; Satsangi, Rajiv – Exceptionality, 2023
Manipulatives are an effective mathematical tool to support students with disabilities in the area of mathematics. Yet, there remain inconsistencies in terms of which type -- concrete or virtual -- is more effective for students with disabilities working on algebra related content and which type is preferred by students. The researchers used an…

Renken, Maggie D.; Nunez, Narina – Learning and Instruction, 2013
Evidence for cognitive benefits of simulated versus physical experiments is unclear. Seventh grade participants (n = 147) reported their understanding of two simple pendulum problems (1) before conducting an experiment, (2) immediately following experimentation, and (3) after a 12-week delay. "Problem type" was manipulated within…

Min, Wookhee; Wiggins, Joseph B.; Pezzullo, Lydia G.; Vail, Alexandria K.; Boyer, Kristy Elizabeth; Mott, Bradford W.; Frankosky, Megan H.; Wiebe, Eric N.; Lester, James C. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2016
Recent years have seen a growing interest in intelligent game-based learning environments featuring virtual agents. A key challenge posed by incorporating virtual agents in game-based learning environments is dynamically determining the dialogue moves they should make in order to best support students' problem solving. This paper presents a…
