Mara Cotic; Daniel Doz; Matija Jenko; Amalija Žakelj – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2024
The evolution of mathematics coincided with advancements in its teaching. The 19th and 20th centuries marked a pedagogical revolution in mathematics education. This paper argues that Bruner's (1966) model, Gagné's (1985) taxonomy, innovative teaching methods emphasizing research and problem-solving, and the inclusion of data analysis topics have…

Siegler, Robert S.; Im, Soo-hyun; Schiller, Lauren K.; Tian, Jing; Braithwaite, David W. – Grantee Submission, 2020
Children's failure to reason often leads to their mathematical performance being shaped by spurious associations from problem input and overgeneralization of inapplicable procedures rather than by whether answers and procedures make sense. In particular, imbalanced distributions of problems, particularly in textbooks, lead children to create…

Hldreth, Laura A.; Robison-Cox, Jim; Schmidt, Jade – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2018
This study examines the transferability of results from previous studies of simulation-based curriculum in introductory statistics using data from 3,500 students enrolled in an introductory statistics course at Montana State University from fall 2013 through spring 2016. During this time, four different curricula, a traditional curriculum and…

Deniz, Salih; Simsek, Irfan – Online Submission, 2015
The usage of three dimensional (3D) virtual worlds in Mathematics Education not only eliminates the dependence of education on K-12 schools but also enables the subjects to be more concrete. The objective of this study is to create a mathematics laboratory by using the virtual classroom qualities of 3D worlds. In this lab, abstract mathematics…

Huang, Ching-Hsu – International Journal of Distance Education Technologies, 2014
The class quasi-experiment was conducted to determine whether using computer simulation teaching strategy enhanced student understanding of statistics concepts for students enrolled in an introductory course. One hundred and ninety-three sophomores in hospitality management department were invited as participants in this two-year longitudinal…

Conley, Quincy – ProQuest LLC, 2013
Statistics is taught at every level of education, yet teachers often have to assume their students have no knowledge of statistics and start from scratch each time they set out to teach statistics. The motivation for this experimental study comes from interest in exploring educational applications of augmented reality (AR) delivered via mobile…

Pijls, Monique; Dekker, Rijkje; van Hout-Wolters, Bernadette – International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning, 2003
Investigations with the computer can have different functions in the mathematical learning process, such as to let students explore a subject domain, to guide the process of reinvention, or to give them the opportunity to apply what they have learned. Which function has most effect on mathematical level raising? We investigated that question in…
