Daniel Walter; Ulrich Schwätzer – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2025
The usage of digital media, especially tablet apps, is currently a major concern in educational settings. A controversial discussion is also taking place in relation to mathematics education at primary schools. While on the one hand there are empirical findings on helpful isolated examples and related subject-didactic potentials of digital media,…

Ramos Marroquin, Alexandra; Sommer Henao, Karen; Sandoval Albarracín, Javier; Parra, Carlos; Carrillo-Ramos, Angela; Arenas, Juan Jesus; Brijaldo, Mónica; Curiel H., Mariela J.; Pavlich-Mariscal, Jaime A.; Gómez-Morantes, Juan E.; Sabogal, Martha – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2021
Geometry teaching in elementary schools in Colombia is a challenging task. Students' problems with this topic have led to below-average performances in the Program of International Student Assessment. To face this challenge, this paper presents Akasha, a personalized software application to reinforce geometry teaching to elementary school children…

Olsson, Jan; Granberg, Carina – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2019
The present study contributes to knowledge about how to design tasks that benefit from dynamic software in math education, comparing practice performance and learning outcomes among 129 students practicing on two different task designs using GeoGebra. The task designs differed with respect to the presence or absence of guidelines on how to solve…

Sinclair, Nathalie; Heyd-Metzuyanim, Einat – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2014
In this paper we describe a touchscreen application called "TouchCounts," which is designed to support the development of number sense in the early years. We first provide an a priori analysis of its affordances. Then, using Sfard's communicational approach, augmented by a focus both on the role of the body--particularly the fingers…

Abrahamson, Dor; Gutierrez, Jose; Charoenying, Timothy; Negrete, Andrea; Bumbacher, Engin – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2012
How do instructors guide students to discover mathematical content? Are current explanatory models of pedagogical practice suitable to capture pragmatic essentials of discovery-based instruction? We examined videographed data from the implementation of a natural user interface design for proportions, so as to determine one constructivist tutor's…

Bokhove, Christian; Drijvers, Paul – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2012
The design and arrangement of appropriate automatic feedback in digital learning environment is a widely recognized issue. In this article, we investigate the effect of feedback on the design and the results of a digital intervention for algebra. Three feedback principles guided the intervention: timing and fading, crises, and feedback variation.…
