Direct linkFung, Chak Him; Poon, Kin Keung – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
This study consisted of two stages. In stage A, 38 students were divided randomly into an experimental and a control group. The experimental group received lectures assisted by dynamic geometry software (DGS) and the control group received lectures using chalk and blackboard. The effects of DGS on metacognition and its components were…

Hansson, Lena; Hansson, Örjan; Juter, Kristina; Redfors, Andreas – Science & Education, 2015
This article discusses the role of mathematics during physics lessons in upper-secondary school. Mathematics is an inherent part of theoretical models in physics and makes powerful predictions of natural phenomena possible. Ability to use both theoretical models and mathematics is central in physics. This paper takes as a starting point that the…

Olaniyan, A. O.; Omosewo, E. O. – Science Education International, 2015
The study investigated the Effects of a Target-Task Problem-Solving Model on Senior Secondary School Students' Performance in Physics. The research design was a quasi-experimental, non-randomized, non-equivalent pretest, post-test using a control group. The study was conducted in two schools purposively selected and involved a total of 120 Senior…

Cavanagh, Michael S.; Garvey, Thomas – Australian Journal of Teacher Education, 2012
This paper reports the development and implementation of a collaborative professional experience learning community for a group of nine pre-service secondary mathematics teachers. The pre-service teachers and their methods lecturer made 12 school visits over one academic year to a local secondary school. The pre-service teachers observed and…

Okoye, Nnamdi S.; Okechukwu, Rose N. – Education, 2010
The study examined the effect of concept-mapping and problem-solving teaching strategies on achievement in biology among Nigerian secondary school students. The method used for the study was a quasi-experimental pre-test treatment design. One hundred and thirteen senior secondary three (S.S. 111) students randomly selected from three mixed…

Kapur, Manu – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2010
This paper reports on a quasi-experimental study comparing a "productive failure" instructional design (Kapur in Cognition and Instruction 26(3):379-424, 2008) with a traditional "lecture and practice" instructional design for a 2-week curricular unit on rate and speed. Seventy-five, 7th-grade mathematics students from a…
