Ali Alhramelah – ProQuest LLC, 2018
This study was conducted to examine the effects of modality across gender on undergraduate student achievement when learning Algebra concepts. Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) and Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning (CTML) provided a framework for this study to describe in depth the concept of the modality principle. Participants were undergraduate…

Gol Tabaghi, Shiva – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2014
The complementary use of the theories of instrumental genesis and shifts of attention enabled me to obtain insights into students' understandings of the concepts of eigenvector and eigenvalue. My analysis suggests that the use of different dragging modalities can provide evidence of shifts in structure of a student's attention and consequently can…

Tabor, Catherine – Mathematics Teacher, 2014
Inclusion and differentiation--hallmarks of the current educational system--require a paradigm shift in the way that educators run their classrooms. This article enumerates the need for techno-kinesthetic, visually based activities and offers an example of a calculator-based programming activity that addresses that need. After discussing the use…

Ozgun-Koca, S. Asli; Edwards, Thomas – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2011
Manipulatives have been used in many mathematics classrooms across many age groups with the aim of helping students to understand abstract concepts through concrete, kinesthetic, and visual experiences. In this paper, after we provide a background for the use of physical and virtual manipulatives in teaching and learning of mathematics, we will…

O'Donnell, William J.; Endsley, Glenn J. – 1986
This study focuses on the possible relationships between cognitive preference scores of algebra students and level of algebra, sex, and performance rank in algebra classes. The sample consisted of 162 students from a high school in the Denver area. The instruments used were the Cognitive Preference Test: Mathematics (Revised) (CPTM) and the…

Stamper, John, Ed.; Pardos, Zachary, Ed.; Mavrikis, Manolis, Ed.; McLaren, Bruce M., Ed. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2014
The 7th International Conference on Education Data Mining held on July 4th-7th, 2014, at the Institute of Education, London, UK is the leading international forum for high-quality research that mines large data sets in order to answer educational research questions that shed light on the learning process. These data sets may come from the traces…
