Ruth Irwin – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2025
Education is concerned with the production of intelligence. Is AI intelligent? and what are the implications for educating humanity? Samuel Butler makes the case that machinery emerges in co-relation with the evolution of humanity. In other words, the evolution of machines relies on the human intervention for reproduction, and the evolution of…

Ozga, Jenny; Baird, Jo-Anne; Saville, Luke; Arnott, Margaret; Hell, Niclas – Oxford Review of Education, 2023
The COVID-19 pandemic suspended established practices that, in normal times, are seen as central to the functioning of education systems. For example, in England, school closures led to the cancellation of national examinations in 2020, and their attempted replacement with an algorithmic model. Following public outcry about what were seen as the…

Sahlgren, Otto – Learning, Media and Technology, 2023
As awareness of bias in educational machine learning applications increases, accountability for technologies and their impact on educational equality is becoming an increasingly important constituent of ethical conduct and accountability in education. This article critically examines the relationship between so-called algorithmic fairness and…

Haydon; Karla-Luise Herpoldt; Kandise Van Wormer; Celine Abell; David Baker; Alena Khmelinskaia; Neil P. King – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Undergraduate research experiences can improve student success in graduate education and STEM careers. During the COVID-19 pandemic, undergraduate researchers at our institution and many others lost their work-study research positions due to interruption of in-person research activities. This imposed a financial burden on the students and…

Carroll, William M. – Journal of Mathematical Behavior, 1996
Examines problem-solving results among second-grade students in three schools that were all using a reformed mathematics curriculum. Except for one problem, more students used a mental procedure than the standard written algorithms, and both methods were used with approximately the same degree of accuracy. (AIM)

Burns, Marilyn – Phi Delta Kappan, 1994
Call for reforming mathematics teaching has been sounded loudly and strongly. Change from teaching standard algorithms to having children invent their own methods requires major pedagogical shift. Teachers must trust students' inventiveness and ability to make sense of numerical situations, be committed to thinking and reasoning as cornerstone of…

Nakhleh, Mary B.; And Others – Journal of Chemical Education, 1996
Reports on a study, Project REMODEL, that implemented and evaluated innovations in lecture, laboratory, and assessment for students in the introductory sequence for undergraduate chemistry. Results indicate that special sessions and conceptual exam questions can improve students' abilities to work successfully with both concepts and algorithms.…

Kamii, Constance; And Others – Educational Horizons, 1991
Based on Piaget's theory that children acquire number concepts by constructing them from within, the authors conclude that teaching algorithms harms mathematics learning. A better approach is allowing them to construct their own logico-mathematical knowledge and invent their own efficient procedures. (JOW)

Baggett, Patricia; Ehrenfeucht, Andrzej – Journal of Mathematical Behavior, 1992
Examines the issue of how calculators and computers can best be used in mathematics education. Contends that practicing a procedure is noncognitive and does not produce learning. Suggests utilizing customized computerized tools in schools for getting answers to algorithmic problems instantly, thus allowing teachers to explain and students to…
