Task-relevant actions can facilitate mathematical thinking, even for complex topics, such as mathematical proof. We investigated whether such cognitive benefits also occur for action predictions. The action-cognition transduction (ACT) model posits a reciprocal relationship between movements and reasoning. Movements--imagined as well as real ones…

Area should be experienced, not simply calculated. This task invites students to physically experience areas and the spatial relationships between them, as well as their own community.

In the post-pandemic world, metaverse technology has become a popular approach to facilitating students' online learning experiences. Drawing on Kolb's experiential learning theory, we created immersive scenes using CoSpaces Edu, a 'mirror-world' metaverse platform that enables students to observe mathematical properties virtually. We applied a…

Learning mathematics involves abstract thinking and the use of symbols. To be successful in a mathematics classroom, students must master what symbols mean and how they work. Much prior work has focused on the nature of the external representations used in mathematics instruction, including manipulatives and symbolic representations. In this work,…

Mathematical modelling emphasizes the connection between mathematics and reality -- still, tasks are often exclusively introduced inside the classroom. The paper examines the potential of different task settings for mathematical modelling with real objects: outdoors at the real object itself, with photographs and with a 3D model representation. It…

The present research investigates the effects of an active and experiential learning approach on eighth-grade students' mathematics achievement employing a quasi-experimental research design. A total of 231 students from four Slovenian primary schools participated in the study, with 101 students assigned to the experimental group (EG) and 130 to…

One of the methods used in educating 21st-century individuals is outside-school learning. This article investigates the effect of outside-school learning courses on teacher candidates' aims of performing outside-school learning activities. The research uses single group pre-test and post-test design. The participants of the research are 37…

"Insights Into Global Engineering Education After the Birth of Industry 5.0" presents a comprehensive overview of recent developments in the fields of engineering and technology. The book comprises single chapters authored by various researchers and edited by an expert active in the engineering education research area. It provides a…

This study focuses on the teaching and learning of the pre-numeracy concepts through technology at Foundation Phase. It pre-supposes that the use of information and communication technology resources presents an innovative way to improve teaching and learning mathematics. The author argues that young children's relational conceptions of number lie…

Methods of education in schools should promote students' activeness, self-awareness, initiative and creativity; be suitable with the characteristics of each class and subject; foster self-study methods, ability to work in groups, practice skills to apply knowledge into practice, and impact emotions to bring joy as well as excitement to students.…

College students often view statistics as challenging and unpleasant to learn (Ben-Zvi et al., 2017). Digital games designed for educational purposes have been found to be effective for promoting statistics learning and motivation to learn statistics (e.g. Boyle et al., 2014). However, research is currently lacking on the best practices for…

Student engagement in their own learning of mathematics, and student attitudes towards mathematics are key dimensions of learning. This mixed methods study examined the impact of a classroom intervention based on the principles of reform mathematics (i.e., active student involvement, hands-on, real-world connections, use of manipulatives and…

Motivation and math anxiety are crucial in performance and satisfaction, and augmented reality (AR) may be a useful tool in enhancing these factors because it provides users with interesting visual experiences. Since related empirical research is limited in investigating the effects of using free mobile AR apps integrating Keller's ARCS…

This study reports on Ghanaian junior high school (JHS) mathematics teachers' use of selected assessment for learning strategies in their mathematics classroom. Many JHS teachers may not be familiar with assessment for learning (AfL) strategies to enhance pupils' learning. This qualitative, intervention research employed an educational design…

This study focused on the development of the learners on how Video-Based Experiential Approach will help learners to keep the pace of learnings in this pandemic. This study provided various evidence on how innovation can be a great step in developing the learners in learning about fraction. The purpose of this action research is to determine the…
