Roxana Draganoiu; Florica Moldoveanu; Anca Morar; Alin Moldoveanu – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Almost all educational systems still rely on traditional teaching methods: children must absorb huge uncorrelated amounts of information from various disciplines, multidisciplinary aspects are not developed, the fun factor is missing in most of the classes. Many children sometimes do not fully understand the presented theoretical concepts and…

Chiang, Feng-kuang; Qin, Lian – Interactive Learning Environments, 2018
This study examined the effects of students' construction of computer-based educational games, using Scratch, on their mathematical equation-solving performance and their attitudes towards learning mathematics with the assistance of technology. A one-group, pretest-posttest quasi-experimental study design, was adopted. A total of 89 seventh grade…

Rodríguez-Martínez, José Antonio; González-Calero, José Antonio; Sáez-López, José Manuel – Interactive Learning Environments, 2020
The potential benefits from the introduction of programming environments such as "Scratch" for learning mathematics has reactivated research in this area. Nonetheless, there are few studies which attempt to analyse their influence at the stage of Primary Education. We present the results of a quasi-experimental piece of research with…

Feurzeig, Wallace; Papert, Seymour A. – Interactive Learning Environments, 2011
Formal mathematical methods remain, for most high school students, mysterious, artificial and not a part of their regular intuitive thinking. The authors develop some themes that could lead to a radically new approach. According to this thesis, the teaching of programming languages as a regular part of academic progress can contribute effectively…

Schwarz, Baruch; Dreyfus, Tommy – Interactive Learning Environments, 1993
Describes a study which measured how ninth-grade students integrated information about mathematical concepts when working with Triple Representation Model software. Tables, graphs, and algebraic functions were linked, allowing students to manipulate several representations of the same concept. Examples of mathematical problems and student case…
