Nehring, Andreas; Busch, Sebastian – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
Although demonstrations play a central role in teaching and learning chemistry, the effects of concrete setup principles have rarely been subject to systematic empirical studies. According to the left-to-right principle, the educator should begin with the first step of a reaction in the upper left part of the setup and then place the following…

Chiou, Guo-Li; Hsu, Chung-Yuan; Tsai, Meng-Jung – Interactive Learning Environments, 2022
The purpose of this study was to explore how students interacted with guidance to conduct a scientific inquiry in a physics simulation by using the eye-tracking techniques. The participants were 51 7th graders, and an eye-tracking system was used to record their visual behaviors and log data while they were using the simulation. As for data…

Widder, Mirela; Berman, Avi; Koichu, Boris – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2019
Aiming to enhance understanding of visual obstacles inherent in two-dimensional (2-D) sketches used in high school spatial geometry instruction, we propose a measure of visual difficulty based on two attributes of the sketches: potentially misleading geometrical information (PMI) and potentially helpful geometrical information (PHI). The…

Abidoye, Florence Omosholape; Olorundare, Adekunle Solomon – Journal of Biological Education Indonesia (Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi Indonesia), 2020
Learning style has been considered as one of determining factors for learning processes. This study aimed at observing the correlation between students' learning style and performance of Nigerian students in biology. The sample of this study consisted of 100 students which were randomly selected from the secondary schools in Ifelodun LGA, Kwara…

Rosenblum, L. Penny; Zebehazy, Kim T.; Gage, Nicholas; Beal, Carole R. – Grantee Submission, 2021
Introduction: Participants' perspectives are valuable in evaluating the effectiveness of an intervention. Methods: Interviews were conducted with teachers of students with visual impairments and students who completed an intervention designed to build graphics literacy skills. Results: Six themes were identified with corresponding subthemes. The…

Kribbs, Elizabeth E.; Rogowsky, Beth A. – International Journal of Research in Education and Science, 2016
Mathematics word-problems continue to be an insurmountable challenge for many middle school students. Educators have used pictorial and schematic illustrations within the classroom to help students visualize these problems. However, the data shows that pictorial representations can be more harmful than helpful in that they only display objects or…

Patahuddin, Sitti; Logan, Tracy; Ramful, Ajay – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2018
This paper attempted to make explicit some of the underlying characteristics of spatial visualisation using the concept of area of composite shapes. By engaging students with metric-free tasks, we identify the type of perceptual and visual/spatial manoeuvres that they deploy in such situations. Interview data collected from three students in Grade…

Wild, Gwen; Steeley, Sherry L. – International Journal of Special Education, 2018
This study examines the impact of a general education classroom-based sensory program for students exhibiting sensory processing differences in the school environment. Students were divided by age and degree of sensory needs between control and experimental groups, with teachers of students in the experimental group implementing the recommended…

Staunaes, Dorthe; Kofoed, Jette – International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), 2015
Digital video cameras, smartphones, internet and iPads are increasingly used as visual research methods with the purpose of creating an affective corpus of data. Such visual methods are often combined with interviews or observations. Not only are visual methods part of the used research methods, the visual products are used as requisites in…

Miller, B. W.; Cromley, J. G.; Newcombe, N. S. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2016
Visual representations are essential for science understanding, but many students have poor diagrammatic reasoning skills. Previous research showed that teaching high school and college students about the conventions of diagrams (COD) can improve diagrammatic reasoning. In this study, middle school science students received COD instruction…

Janssens, Nikki; Wee, Lik H.; Martens, Johan A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2014
The esterification reaction of salicylic acid with ethanol is performed in presence of dissolved 12-tungstophosphoric Brønsted-Lowry acid catalyst, a Keggin-type polyoxometalate (POM). The monitoring of the reaction with smell and the recovery of the catalyst with sight is presented. Formation of the sweet-scented ester is apparent from the smell.…

Tabor, Catherine – Mathematics Teacher, 2014
Inclusion and differentiation--hallmarks of the current educational system--require a paradigm shift in the way that educators run their classrooms. This article enumerates the need for techno-kinesthetic, visually based activities and offers an example of a calculator-based programming activity that addresses that need. After discussing the use…
