Stoo Sepp; Sharon Tindall-Ford; Shirley Agostinho; Fred Paas – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2024
This article presents a novel digital method of capturing finger-based gestures on touchscreen devices for the purpose of exploring tracing gestures in educational research. Given that tracing has been found to support cognition, learning, and problem solving in educational settings, data related to the performance of these gestures are…

Oxman, Victor; Stupel, Moshe; Segal, Ruti – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2017
An important and interesting area in the study of triangle geometry is the related issue of extrema problems and inequalities. These problems play a significant role in the mathematics study program in high school. In tasks such as these, the difficulty level is high when one does not know in advance what the expected answer is. When one knows…

Thompson, Ian – Australian Senior Mathematics Journal, 2017
In this paper, an example is offered of a problem-solving task for senior secondary school students which was given in the context of a story. As the story unfolds, the task requires progressively more complex forms of linear programming to be applied. Coding in MATLAB is used throughout the task in such a way that it supports the increasing…

Melby, Alan K. – CALICO Journal, 1983
A system of translation using the computer to assist but not replace the translator is described. Each of the system's three levels incorporates successively more sophisticated translation aids, all under the translator's control. The third level incorporates a full machine translator. (MSE)
