Mario Lepore; Federica Mennuni – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2023
In this research, we investigated whether the use of GeoGebra Augmented Reality (AR) can foster students in conceptualising a mathematical object by manipulating its different semiotic representations. We designed and implemented, with thirty university mathematics students, a teaching sequence on paraboloids using GeoGebra AR supported by…

Abouelenein, Yousri Attia Mohamed; Nagy Elmaadaway, Mohamed Ali – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
The current study aims to determine the effect of teaching a mechanic neuro-computerized course through virtual learning environments (VLE) to develop computational thinking among mathematics pre-service teachers. The neuro-computerized virtual learning environments (NCVLE) model was designed to be used to teach the mechanics course to third-year…

Tintle, Nathan; Clark, Jake; Fischer, Karen; Chance, Beth; Cobb, George; Roy, Soma; Swanson, Todd; VanderStoep, Jill – Journal of Statistics Education, 2018
The recent simulation-based inference (SBI) movement in algebra-based introductory statistics courses (Stat 101) has provided preliminary evidence of improved student conceptual understanding and retention. However, little is known about whether these positive effects are preferentially distributed across types of students entering the course. We…

Andrade, Luisa; Fernández, Felipe – Universal Journal of Educational Research, 2016
As literature has reported, it is usual that university students in statistics courses, and even statistics teachers, interpret the confidence level associated with a confidence interval as the probability that the parameter value will be between the lower and upper interval limits. To confront this misconception, class activities have been…

Novak, Elena; Johnson, Tristan E.; Tenenbaum, Gershon; Shute, Valerie J. – Interactive Learning Environments, 2016
The study explored instructional benefits of a storyline gaming characteristic (GC) on learning effectiveness, efficiency, and engagement with the use of an online instructional simulation for graduate students in an introductory statistics course. A storyline is a game-design element that connects scenes with the educational content. In order to…

Lesser, Lawrence M.; Wagler, Amy E.; Salazar, Berenice – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2016
English language learners (ELLs) are a rapidly growing part of the student population in many countries. Studies on resources for language learners--especially Spanish-speaking ELLs--have focused on areas such as reading, writing, and mathematics, but not introductory probability and statistics. Semi-structured qualitative interviews investigated…
