Montejo Bernardo, Jose M.; Fernández González, Alfonso – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
The periodic table is an essential topic in the teaching and learning of science at all education levels, as it contains information about the main physical and chemical properties of the different elements constituting the matter. However, becoming familiar with the facts behind the periodic table such as the element names and/or symbols, their…

Hwang, Mark – e-Journal of Business Education and Scholarship of Teaching, 2019
Using simulation to teach business related concepts has been shown to improve student performance and learning. Developed almost two decades ago, an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) simulation game has seen wide adoption in traditional classrooms. However, report of its use in online classes has been rare. This teaching note shares experiences…

Rafferty, Anna N.; LaMar, Michelle M.; Griffiths, Thomas L. – Cognitive Science, 2015
Watching another person take actions to complete a goal and making inferences about that person's knowledge is a relatively natural task for people. This ability can be especially important in educational settings, where the inferences can be used for assessment, diagnosing misconceptions, and providing informative feedback. In this paper, we…

Nelson, Nancy J.; Fien, Hank; Doabler, Christian T.; Clarke, Ben – TEACHING Exceptional Children, 2016
One can barely keep up with the pace at which new educational games and apps are being introduced and digested in the market. With so many choices available, how do schools and teachers decide what to use? How do they have confidence their choices will result in desired outcomes? Education technology offers a number of potential benefits that can…

Kessinger, Stephanie – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2014
Research shows that children's home environment and their parents' expectations, aspirations, and beliefs can greatly affect their attitudes toward mathematics and level of achievement (Fan 2001; Sheldon and Epstein 2005). Furthermore, parental involvement at school can result in higher levels of student academic achievement (Lee and…

Smith, Carmen Petrick; King, Barbara; González, Diana – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2015
There is a growing need for STEAM-based (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) knowledge and skills across a wide range of professions (Brazell 2013). Yet students often fail to see the usefulness of mathematics beyond the classroom (Kloosterman, Raymond, and Emenaker 1996), and they do not regularly make connections between…

Morris, Todd A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2011
For beginning chemistry students, the basic tasks of writing chemical formulas and naming covalent and ionic compounds often pose difficulties and are only sufficiently grasped after extensive practice with homework sets. An enjoyable card game that can replace or, at least, complement nomenclature homework sets is described. "Go Chemistry" is…

Shute, Valerie J.; Masduki, Iskandaria; Donmez, Oktay – Technology, Instruction, Cognition and Learning, 2010
The first challenge of accomplishing the goals of any successful instructional system depends on accurately assessing learners and leveraging the information to improve learning (e.g., Conati, 2002; Park & Lee, 2003; Shute, Lajoie, & Gluck, 2000; Snow, 1994). This paper describes an approach for modeling key competencies and developing…

University of Pittsburgh Office of Child Development, 2009
Just as mathematical ability begins to form in early childhood, so, too, does the knowledge gap separating low-income children from their more affluent peers, who generally enter school with much greater math knowledge. This gap is troubling given that early deficits in mathematical knowledge can have profound implications for future learning. One…

Tuminaro, Jonathan; Redish, Edward F. – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2007
Although much is known about the differences between expert and novice problem solvers, knowledge of those differences typically does not provide enough detail to help instructors understand why some students seem to learn physics while solving problems and others do not. A critical issue is how students access the knowledge they have in the…
