Yüksel Emre Harmanbasi; Rezan Yilmaz – Online Submission, 2024
Circle and disc are fundamental concepts introduced in middle school, forming the basis for many other mathematical ideas. Students often face challenges in comprehending circles, discs, and their basic elements. This research examines the processes of sixth-grade students in constructing circles, discs, and their essential components within a…

Husni Almoubayyed; Stephen E. Fancsali; Steve Ritter – Grantee Submission, 2023
Adaptive educational software is likely to better support broader and more diverse sets of learners by considering more comprehensive views (or models) of such learners. For example, recent work proposed making inferences about "non-math" factors like reading comprehension while students used adaptive software for mathematics to better…

Niroj Dahal; Binod Prasad Pant; Bal Chandra Luitel; Basanta Raj Lamichhane; Tara Paudel – Online Submission, 2024
This research explores two methods through which ten preservice math teachers develop an understanding of trigonometric values. Using the unit circle, preservice math teachers engage in knowledge-building activities such as paper folding and GeoGebra application. Grounded in Altman and Kidron's 2016 didactical design research, this study examines…

This paper discusses two "GeoGebra" applets, "Radical" and "Parabola," that are designed to strengthen the conceptual understanding of specific topics in algebra. The design and pedagogical basis of the applets are presented. The integration of the applets in teaching Grade 9 mathematics in a partner high school in…

Julianna Washington; Taylor Darwin; Theodora Beauchamp; Candace Walkington – Grantee Submission, 2024
Prisms VR, a secondary math learning application, allows for users to see, manipulate, and engage with mathematical concepts in an embodied way in Virtual Reality (VR) environment. We examine cases in which mathematics teachers and middle school students worked through Prisms and reflected upon their experiences. Findings indicate that VR…

Binod Prasad Pant; Niroj Dahal; Bal Chandra Luitel – Online Submission, 2024
Integrating information and communication technology (ICT) in mathematics education has been increasingly recognized as a powerful tool for increasing students' interest and performance. It is widely discussed that students' understanding of mathematical ideas is not satisfactory, especially in terms of conceptual understanding. Using narrative…

Ian Whitacre; Domonique Caro-Rora; Azar Kamaldar – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2023
Limited literature addresses how elementary preservice teachers (PSTs) can advance their thinking about hierarchical geometric relationships. Informed by a commognitive perspective, we investigated this phenomenon as a matter of discursive change, focusing on word use, visual mediators, and narratives. We report on a teaching experiment involving…

Giretti, Alberto; Lemma, Massimo; Zambelli, Matteo; Meana, Franco Ripa di – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2022
In this paper we illustrate the architecture of the °'°Kobi system, which is aimed at supporting students' education in artistic or design activities. We will outline the scientific and methodological foundations of the educational approach aimed at enhancing the artistic conception and the design ideation. The functional requirements and the…

Gantt, Allison L.; Paoletti, Teo; Greenstein, Steven – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2022
Despite significant research exploring students' quantitative reasoning, few studies have explored the semiotic processes that mediate its development. In this report, we present a case study to show how one student constructed a semiotic chain for a quantity as he worked with a mathematical task. Importantly, we connect frameworks for…

Roy B. Clariana; Ryan Solnosky – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2023
This quasi-experimental study seeks to improve the conceptual quality of summary essays by comparing two conditions, essay prompts with or without a list of 13 broad concepts, the concepts were selected across a continuum of the 100 most frequent words in the lesson materials. It is anticipated that only the most central concepts will be used as…

Goto, Mitsuhiro; Kashihara, Akihiro – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2021
Presentation documents have been increasingly used not only as supplementary presentation materials but also as contents for investigative learning. In learning a presentation document, learners generally need to select a number of slides from the document, which describe what they want to learn or should learn. However, it is not so easy to find…

Cano, Junar S. – International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, 2021
The essence of Genetics lies in the understanding of the concepts of Central Dogma of Molecular Biology. Although these ideas are fundamental to the field, they are notoriously difficult to understand and visualize. While simulation-based instructional materials are found to improve the teaching-learning process in science education, little has…

Aguilar-Magallón, Daniel Aurelio; Fernández, Willliam Enrique Poveda – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2017
This article reports and analyzes different types of problems that nine students in a Master's Program in Mathematics Education posed during a course on problem solving. What opportunities (affordances) can a dynamic geometry system (GeoGebra) offer to allow in-service and in-training teachers to formulate and solve problems, and what type of…

Rau, Martina A.; Mason, Blake; Nowak, Robert – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2016
To succeed in STEM, students need to learn to use visual representations. Most prior research has focused on conceptual knowledge about visual representations that is acquired via verbally mediated forms of learning. However, students also need perceptual fluency: the ability to rapidly and effortlessly translate among representations. Perceptual…

Anderson, Neil; McGowan, Aidan; Hanna, Philip; Busch, John – Australian Association for Research in Education, 2015
There is a perception amongst some of those learning computer programming that the principles of object-oriented programming (where behaviour is often encapsulated across multiple class files) can be difficult to grasp, especially when taught through a traditional, didactic "talk-and-chalk" method or in a lecture-based environment. We…
