a/p Perumal, Vani; Zamri, Sharifah Norul Akmar Syed – Malaysian Online Journal of Educational Sciences, 2022
Ratios and proportions are new topics in the primary curriculum. Previous research shows that Year Five pupils have difficulty in learning ratio and proportion. This study aims to identify the conceptions of ratio and proportion of seven year five pupils. It is based on radical constructivism using qualitative case study. Data was collected…

Karika, Tímea; Csíkos, Csaba – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2022
In this research, a new test for understanding simple fractions has been developed for students at the beginning of lower secondary education. In many countries, mathematics education in Grade 5 builds on elementary students' developing concepts of fractions. Understanding fractions causes many difficulties for students, and research on mental…

Arslan, Aysenur; Kayhan Altay, Mesture – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2021
Introduction: This study examines the spatial abilities of middle school students with visual impairments (i.e., blindness and low vision) in the context of spatial visualization. The study also aims to examine the strategies used by such students in solving questions requiring spatial ability. Methods: Participants comprised eight students with…

Daiga, Michael; Driskell, Shannon – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2021
This article shares two activities geared toward students in middle school that engage students in analyzing measures of center, specifically the arithmetic mean, and using transnumerative thinking with the ultimate goal of improving students' statistical literacy. Both activities support the Common Core standard, 6.SP.B.5 "Summarize and…

Mix, Kelly S.; Levine, Susan C.; Cheng, Yi-Ling; Stockton, Jerri DaSha; Bower, Corinne – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
A pretest-training-posttest design assessed whether training to improve spatial skills also improved mathematics performance in elementary-aged children. First grade students (mean age = 7 years, n = 134) and sixth grade students (mean age = 12 years, n = 124) completed training in 1 of 2 spatial skills--spatial visualization or form…

Chiphambo, Shakespear Maliketi; Feza, Nosisi Nellie – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2020
Research reveals that many mathematics teachers find it difficult to stimulate learners' interest in learning geometry. One major reason suggested is that geometric concepts are not well conceptualised and comprehended by both learners and teachers. The study explored learners' views on how polygon pieces and dictionary mediate learning of…

Santos de Lacerda, Clara Maria – Geography Teacher, 2020
Models are an important tool for geography teaching, as they can be used to represent features of human and/ or physical systems. In addition, they enable the student to identify with the demonstrated reality, since they work with iconic images and symbols specific to each culture, used to represent the elements contained in the models (da Silva…

Shriki, Atara; Patkin, Dorit – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2021
Spatial ability was defined by Lohman (1996) as the ability to create, maintain, retrieve, and change visual pictures. Linn and Peterson (1985) distinguished among spatial perception, mental rotation, and spatial visualization. Spatial perception is the determination of spatial connections with respect to the orientation of the learners' body;…

Wahidah, Nanda Rahmatul; Johar, Rahmah; Zubainur, Cut Morina – Malikussaleh Journal of Mathematics Learning, 2020
Geometry is one of the topics that students must comprehend in mathematics. However, in reality, the students' ability concerning geometry is relatively low due to their low spatial reasoning ability. The ELPSA framework is one of the solutions to develop students' spatial reasoning abilities. This study aimed to describe students' spatial…

Dello Iacono, Umberto; Ferrara Dentice, Eva – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
This work refers to a research project named 'Math walks', whose aim is to investigate a few students' common conceptions and difficulties related to symmetries as well as to guide the student in the transition from visualization to conceptualization. As far as this issue is concerned, we designed a learning activity (LA) according to Dina van…

Singh, Garima; Khunyakari, Ritesh – Contemporary Education Dialogue, 2023
Learning about components and processes of complex biological systems is challenging and requires abstraction through mediational tools such as text, visuals, models and visualisation experiences. The 'systems concepts' necessitate building coherent relations and anticipating consequences, requiring greater mediational support. This article…

Dunn, Justin; Ramnarain, Umesh – Education Sciences, 2020
This study investigated the effect of interactive computer simulation-supported inquiry on South African grade 8 learners' comprehension of atoms and molecular structures. Two sample groups of 34 learners per sample group were used, one acting as a control group who were exposed to a teacher-directed pedagogy while the experimental group used…

Çiftçi, Cansu; Memnun, Dilek Sezgin; Aydin, Bünyamin – Universal Journal of Educational Research, 2019
In this study, it was aimed to reveal the ideas of the secondary sixth and eighth grade students about the concept of decimal via mental images. Moreover, within the scope of this study, the differences between the mental images of the sixth and eighth grade students about the concept of decimal number will be investigated according to their class…

Saito, Daisuke; Kaieda, Shota; Washizaki, Hironori; Fukazawa, Yoshiaki – Journal of Information Technology Education: Innovations in Practice, 2020
Aim/Purpose: Although many computer science measures have been proposed, visualizing individual students' capabilities is difficult, as those measures often rely on specific tools and methods or are not graded. To solve these problems, we propose a rubric for measuring and visualizing the effects of learning computer programming for elementary…
