Scheiner, Thorsten; Pinto, Marcia M. F. – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2022
Earlier approaches to sense-making in mathematics have looked at the ways students comprehend a mathematical concept. Recent research suggests that some students make sense not only of mathematical objects that have a being, but also of objects that have yet to become. In such cases, learning mathematics is not just an act of comprehending a given…

Doyumgaç, Ibrahim; Gürbüz, Ramazan; Bulus, Metin – International Journal of Education and Literacy Studies, 2023
The present study aims to inspect the interplay between language (Turkish) comprehension/learning (LCL) and mathematics comprehension/learning (MCL). We utilized a mixed-methods exploratory research design to understand the mechanism between LCL and MCL. First, we used an analytic rubric to score a researcher-developed achievement battery…

Krieglstein, Felix; Schneider, Sascha; Beege, Maik; Rey, Günter Daniel – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2022
Concept maps are assumed to enhance learning as their inherent structure makes relations between information more salient. Nevertheless, research on how to design concept maps as conducive to learning as possible is still rare. In particular, the salience of spatial arrangement of thematically related concepts within the map as well as the…

Injeong Jo; Jessie Jungeun Hong-Dwyer – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2024
Empirical evidence is insufficient on the specific roles GIS learning plays in developing students' understanding various spatial concepts. The present study aims to draw attention to common struggles of learning some spatial concepts in geography and offer directions for future research on GIS learning and the development of student spatial…

Del Zozzo, Agnese; Santi, George – Digital Experiences in Mathematics Education, 2023
We present a theoretical study that allows us to attempt framing in an embodied perspective the effectiveness of the drawing robot GGBot in the learning of geometry. The aim of the article is to set the intertwining of activity, semiotics, perception, and knowledge at the crossover of Radford's theory of objectification (TO) and Borba and…

Kreager, B. Z.; LaDue, N. D.; Shipley, T. F. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2023
Sequence stratigraphic and Wheeler diagram interpretations require a strong combination of conceptual understanding and diagram reasoning skills. Students are generally exposed to the foundational concepts within sequence stratigraphy (relative sea level, eustasy, base level, and accommodation) in a variety of courses along their degree path,…

Jabar, Abdul; Gazali, Rahmita Yuliana; Ningrum, Ajeng Ayu; Atsnan, Muh. Fajaruddin; Prahmana, Rully Charitas Indra – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2022
Bahasinan is a traditional game, a maritime cultural heritage, which still exists today in the area of South Kalimantan, Indonesia, precisely in the village of Gunung Makmur. Bahasinan itself is a traditional game that should be played in groups. In Bahasinan, people can find many aspects that have strong correlation with the learning of…

Emmylou Aspacio Borja; Romel Cayao Mutya – Journal of Biological Education Indonesia (Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi Indonesia), 2024
Mendelian genetics are essential for students seeking to comprehend the complexities of inheritance; although fundamental, these biology concepts are difficult for students to understand. This study examined the effectiveness of task-based learning (TBL) in enhancing the students' conceptual understanding of the Patterns of Mendelian Genetics. A…

Klyce, Ann Marie – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Spatial skills, which represent the ability to mentally manipulate objects (Schneider & McGrew, 2012; Atit et al., 2020) have been shown to be correlated with entrance, persistence and success in STEM (Shea et al., 2001; Wai et al., 2009). Specifically, these skills have been shown to be necessary to geologists and geoscientists (Hegarty,…

Calalb, Mihail – International Baltic Symposium on Science and Technology Education, 2021
A new didactical approach named "Learning by Being" (LBB) is proposed and its correlation with current educational paradigms in science teaching is analysed. The key idea in LBB is the assumption by the students of cognitive goals, and three components are mandatory in LBB: a) student's personal learning effort, b) student-teacher mutual…

Nasir, Jauwairia; Kothiyal, Aditi; Sheng, Haoyu; Dillenbourg, Pierre – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2023
Transactive discussion during collaborative learning is crucial for building on each other's reasoning and developing problem solving strategies. In a tabletop collaborative learning activity, student actions on the interface can drive their thinking and be used to ground discussions, thus affecting their problem-solving performance and learning.…

Ji-Eun Lee; Amisha Jindal; Sanika Nitin Patki; Ashish Gurung; Reilly Norum; Erin Ottmar – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
This paper demonstrated how to apply Machine Learning (ML) techniques to analyze student interaction data collected in an online mathematics game. Using a data-driven approach, we examined 1) how different ML algorithms influenced the precision of middle-school students' (N = 359) performance (i.e. posttest math knowledge scores) prediction and 2)…

Noyes, Keenan Chun Hong Lee – ProQuest LLC, 2022
One of the goals of science education is to help students make sense of the world around them. To that end, it is critical that students understand the central ideas in each discipline like, in chemistry, energy and interactions. These ideas are of particular importance because they are directly related to one another and are relevant across other…

Olivia M. Reynolds – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Active learning is widely recognized as superior to traditional passive, lecture-based techniques for fostering learning in STEM courses. Interactive, hands-on learning where students interact with their peers and physical systems is an effective type of active learning. As the need for scientists and engineers continues to grow, understanding and…

Ho, Hsin Ning Jessie; Liang, Jyh-Chong; Tsai, Chin-Chung – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
This research explored the interrelationship among Taiwanese high school students' conceptions of learning science (COLS), self-regulated learning science (SRLS), and science learning self-efficacy (SLSE). A total of 309 students participated in the study, and the self-report survey data were collected to measure these three constructs. Four COLS…
