Social learning through friendships is important in child development. Autistic children often initiate and engage in social interactions differently than neurotypical peers. LEGO® based therapy is a group intervention which facilitates social interactions with peers using collaborative LEGO® play. A 1:1 cluster randomised controlled trial with…

Fotakopoulou, Olga; Hatzigianni, Maria; Dardanou, Maria; Unstad, Torstein; O'Connor, Jane – European Early Childhood Education Research Journal, 2020
This paper will discuss the beliefs and experiences of early childhood educators across three countries, England, Norway and Greece, in relation to the use of touchscreen technology with the youngest children in their settings. Building on previous research which explored parents' perspectives, this study now extends the investigation to early…

Simpson, E. C.; Shelley, M. – Physics Education, 2017
Nuclear masses and binding energies are some of the first nuclear properties met in high school physics, and can be used to introduce radioactive decays, fusion, and fission. With relatively little extension, they can also illustrate fundamental concepts in nuclear physics, such as shell structure and pairing, and to discuss how the elements…

Fiona Curtis – Sage Research Methods Cases, 2017
English schoolchildren do not fare well in international comparisons of mathematical, particularly algebraic, ability. I believe that this is at least partly due to algebra being traditionally taught using only symbols, ignoring the enactive-iconic-symbolic trajectory described by Jerome Bruner, which says that experiencing the way in which…

Hurn, Karl; Storer, Ian – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2015
The aim of this paper is to provide educators and industrial design professionals with an insight into the development of innovative design ideation images manipulation techniques and, highlight how these techniques could be used to not only improve student ideation skills, but also as design enablers for a broader range of professionals working…

Chippindall, Jon – Primary Science, 2017
Every week, thousands of "makers" worldwide indulge their passion for creating, inventing, and meddling as they visit "Tinkering studios," "Tinkerlabs," and "Tinkergarden." Such "makers" are inherently engineers; exhibiting many of the Engineering Habits of Minds described in this Special Issue as…

Buckley, Anne; Harvey, Kim – Primary Science, 2014
The Discovery City Learning Centre (Wirral, England) is an educational centre specializing in technology and science. The Centre has up to four primary school classes visiting every day to undertake workshops and utilize technology in all aspects of the curriculum. It also has a science laboratory that was specifically designed for use by primary…

Batchelor, Sophie; Keeble, Sarah; Gilmore, Camilla – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2015
When children learn to count, they map newly acquired symbolic representations of number onto preexisting nonsymbolic representations. The nature and timing of this mapping is currently unclear. Some researchers have suggested this mapping process helps children understand the cardinal principle of counting, while other evidence suggests that this…

"Improving Mathematics in the Early Years and Key Stage 1" reviews the best available evidence to offer five recommendations for developing the maths skills of 3-7-year olds. Recommendations include integrating maths into different activities throughout the day -- for example, at registration and snack time -- to familiarise children…

James, Alison; Brookfield, Stephen – International Journal of Adult Vocational Education and Technology, 2013
In this paper the authors wish to examine kinesthetic forms of learning involving the body and the physical realm. The authors look at two particular techniques; using Legos to build metaphorical models and living the physical experience of metaphors in the shape of labyrinth-walking and its attendant activities. The authors begin by discussing…

Henderson, Peter; Hodgen, Jeremy; Foster, Colin; Kuchemann, Dietmar – Education Endowment Foundation, 2017
This guidance report focuses on the teaching of mathematics to pupils in Key Stages 2 and 3. It is not intended to provide a comprehensive guide to mathematics teaching. We have made recommendations where there are research findings that schools can use to make a significant difference to pupils' learning, and have focused on the questions that…

Hodgen, Jeremy; Foster, Colin; Marks, Rachel; Brown, Margaret – Education Endowment Foundation, 2018
This document presents a review of evidence commissioned by the Education Endowment Foundation to inform the guidance document "Improving Mathematics in Key Stages Two and Three" (Education Endowment Foundation, 2017). The review draws on a substantial parallel study by the same research team, funded by the Nuffield Foundation, which…

Latham, Dorothy – Mathematics Teaching Incorporating Micromath, 2007
In the renewed "Primary Framework for Mathematics" for England, great emphasis is given to calculation and its prerequisites (DfES, 2006). Expectations are increased for calculations and the recall of number facts, with mental calculation owning a higher profile, while progression in written calculation is clarified. The greater focus on…

Hennessy, Sara; And Others – 1988
This paper describes an educational program developed on the basis that the use of blocks and other manipulatives can be useful both for initial teaching of exchange operations in arithmetic and for remediation of the faulty strategies which very commonly arise during acquisition of written calculation algorithms. This computer program is a…

Leeds Education Authority (England). Mathematics Curriculum Study Group. – 1978
This is one of a series of monographs developed by teachers in elementary schools near Leeds, England. This document focuses on structure and place value. Slow learners in particular need concrete experiences designed to introduce and later consolidate the idea of place value, and with this in mind several activities proven successful with slow…
