Tang, Zhichuan; Xia, Dan; Li, Xintao; Wang, Xinyang; Ying, Jichen; Yang, Hongchun – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2023
Creative idea generation plays an important role in design process. Our study aimed to use physiological signals to evaluate the effect of music on idea generation in individual and group conditions. Thirty graduate students with design experience were recruited to generate ideas for specific design topics and sketch these ideas. The experiment…

Kailiang Chen; Juanjuan Chen; Yuwei Sun; Guorui Yan – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2025
Understanding and supporting pre-service teachers' creativity in collaborative instructional design has gained increasing attention. To design novel and effective learning experiences or activities for students, they need to build empathy with students, that is, understanding students' learning needs. This study aimed to (1) explore the patterns…

Trygve Solstad; Eivind Kaspersen; Magnus Eggen – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2025
How to influence and assess whether students engage in conceptual thinking are longstanding methodological problems in mathematics education. Recently, eye-tracking technology has fueled a discussion on whether eye movement analysis can support valid inferences about mathematical thinking. This study investigates whether eye movement analysis can…

Diana Villabona; Asuman Oktaç; Solange Roa-Fuentes – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2024
We offer a new angle to explain the comprehension of mathematical infinity. We use Action-Process-Object-Schema (APOS) theory to explore the construction of different aspects of the cognitive Object related to this notion. We focus our attention on different ways of interacting with infinity, and how to act on infinite entities. Our aim is to shed…

Chen, Xuqian; Wei, Ziqian; Li, Ziteng; Clariana, Roy B. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2023
How does conceptual structure of external representations contribute to learning? This investigation considered the influence of generative concept sorting and of external structure information moderated by perceived difficulty. In Study 1, undergraduate students completed a perceived difficulty survey and comprehension pretest, then a sorting…

Budak, Kimberly Sirin; Akcay Ozkan, Zeynep – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2022
In this paper, we report the analysis of thought processes used by Pre-Service Teachers' (PSTs') through clinical interviews as they solved an algebra task involving a linear pattern. The PST's were asked about a mathematical model they had constructed to describe a pattern problem. Our analysis suggests that conflict factors arise due to…

Davis, Jon D.; Witt, Nicholas E. – Digital Experiences in Mathematics Education, 2022
Research suggests that tasks that use technology as a reorganizer (technology is used to produce dynamic representations) are linked with the development of students' conceptual knowledge, yet many secondary mathematics textbooks in the USA predominantly include tasks that use technology as an amplifier (technology is used to produce static…

Alifiani; Subanji; Permadi, Hendro; Irawati, Santi – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2023
This study aims to describe metacognitive interventions for students who experience suspension of sense-making when solving integration problems based on the characteristics of students' thinking. This research applied a qualitative research approach and provided essay tests followed by task-based interviews to classify students who experience…

Froese, Linda; Roelle, Julian – Metacognition and Learning, 2022
Generating own examples for previously encountered new concepts is a common and highly effective learning activity, at least when the examples are of high quality. Unfortunately, however, students are not able to accurately evaluate the quality of their own examples and instructional support measures such as idea unit standards that have been…

Iwan Setiawan HR; Purwanto; Sukoriyanto; I Nengah Parta – International Journal of Educational Methodology, 2023
This study aims to evaluate cognitive conflict in constructing mathematical concepts, based on thinking errors. The data were collected through observations of words or sentences, leading to the derivation of qualitative outputs. Furthermore, the results showed that the two selected subjects experienced cognitive conflicts regarding thinking…

Andreas Haraldsrud; Tor Ole B. Odden – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
When learning chemistry, students must learn to extract chemical information from mathematical expressions. However, chemistry students' exposure to mathematics often comes primarily from pure mathematics courses, which can lead to knowledge fragmentation and potentially hinder their ability to use mathematics in chemistry. This study examines how…

Schermerhorn, Benjamin P.; Sadaghiani, Homeyra; Mansour, Anise E.; Pollock, Steven; Passante, Gina – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
As part of ongoing research on student thinking about quantum mechanical concepts and formalism, we explored how students defined and made sense of expectation values. Previous research has focused on student difficulties when defining the expectation value for a generic operator and found that students conflate other quantum mechanical ideas with…

Velibor Mladenovici; Mariana Crasovan; Marian D. Ilie – Journal of Educational Sciences, 2024
Teaching conceptions in higher education, or so-called academics' conceptions of teaching (ACTs), are essential in informing teaching behaviors and influencing students' learning. Consequently, several attempts have been made since the 1990s to understand what ACTs represent and how they can be developed towards student-centered teaching. However,…

Slominski, Tara; Christensen, Warren M.; Buncher, John B.; Momsen, Jennifer – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2023
Contextual features of assessments can influence the ideas students draw from and the ways they assemble knowledge. We used a mixed-methods approach to explore how surface-level item context impacts student reasoning. In study 1, we developed an isomorphic survey to capture student reasoning about fluid dynamics, a crosscutting phenomenon, in two…

Puente-Diaz, Rogelio; Cavazos-Arroyo, Judith – Creativity Research Journal, 2023
The purpose of this investigation was to examine the contribution of two aspects, Openness and Intellect, of the broad personality factor of Openness to Experience to the explanation of idea generation and selection processes among business students. Participants completed a battery of questionnaires measuring Openness, Intellect, and creative…
