Tugba Uygun; Pinar Guner; Irfan Simsek – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
This study was conducted to reveal potential sources of students' difficulty and misconceptions about geometrical concepts with the help of eye tracking. In this study, the students' geometrical misconceptions were explored by answering the questions on the geometry test prepared based on the literature and test-taking processes and represented…

Baccaglini-Frank, Anna; Mariotti, Maria Alessandra – International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning, 2010
Research has shown that the tools provided by dynamic geometry systems (DGSs) impact students' approach to investigating open problems in Euclidean geometry. We particularly focus on cognitive processes that might be induced by certain ways of dragging in Cabri. Building on the work of Arzarello, Olivero and other researchers, we have conceived a…

Lawson, Michael J.; Chinnappan, Mohan – Cognition and Instruction, 1994
The problem-solving performance of high-achieving (HA) and low-achieving (LA) 11th-grade students was compared during solution of geometry problems using a think-aloud procedure. Detailed analysis of problem-solving protocols indicated that HA students not only accessed a greater body of geometrical knowledge but also used that knowledge more…
