Brandon J. Yik – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The work in this dissertation is presented in two parts. The first part (Chapters 3 and 4) details work relating to students' explanations of reaction mechanisms in organic chemistry. The second part (Chapters 5 and 6) details work relating to the evaluating the uptake of research-based instructional practices in introductory chemistry,…

Atteeq Razzak – Pythagoras, 2024
During the pandemic and lockdown situations of the last few years, we transitioned to online, physical, and hybrid education approaches at various times. We had difficulty teaching multiple calculus and analytical geometry units online. In light of the current situation, a graphical user interface (GUI) teaching tool has been developed to teach…

Padrón, Miguel A.; Plaza, Ángel – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
Many proofs of the arithmetic mean harmonic mean inequality have been proposed based on the rich connections between mathematics and physics. Sometimes the Arithmetic Mean Harmonic Mean inequality is proved by using electric networks. In this note, we use a simple set of two springs, instead of four springs which would be the equivalent set to…

Pili, Unofre B. – Physics Education, 2022
This article presents a simple, fast, and equally accurate technique for measuring the area of a circle and of an ellipse without using geometric formulas. This therefore, together with the known radius of the circle and the semi-major and semi-minor axes of the ellipse, allows for the calculation of [pi]. The experiment is easy, thrilling, and…

Aneta Gacovska Barandovska; Boce Mitrevski; Lambe Barandovski – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
Problem-solving is an essential part of teaching, learning, and assessment of physics and mathematics. The continuing educational reforms have a deep impact on everyday teaching as well as working with talented students. In the Macedonian educational system, the curricula do not explicitly point out the connection between mathematics and physics,…

Jeffrey A. Anderson; Bryan B. Nguyen – PRIMUS, 2024
Many students who enroll in a first course in linear algebra major in STEM disciplines other than mathematics. Teachers who serve such students may find it difficult to provide authentic problems from these broader areas that ignite students' interest in linear algebra. In this paper, we highlight an interdisciplinary learning activity that…

Kokkonen, Tommi; Schalk, Lennart – Educational Psychology Review, 2021
To help students acquire mathematics and science knowledge and competencies, educators typically use multiple external representations (MERs). There has been considerable interest in examining ways to present, sequence, and combine MERs. One prominent approach is the concreteness fading sequence, which posits that instruction should start with…

Verostek, Mike; Griston, Molly; Botello, Jesús; Zwickl, Benjamin – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
Understanding how physicists solve problems can guide the development of methods that help students learn and improve at solving complex problems. Leveraging the framework of cognitive task analysis, we conducted semistructured interviews with theoretical physicists (N=11) to gain insight into the cognitive processes and skills that they use in…

Panorkou, Nicole; Germia, Erell Feb – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2021
Integrating mathematics content into science usually plays a supporting role, where students use their existing mathematical knowledge for solving science tasks without exhibiting any new mathematical meanings during the process. To help students explore the reciprocal relationship between math and science, we designed an instructional module that…

Atkin, Keith – Physics Education, 2020
In this paper it is demonstrated how the free, and easily downloadable, software package called SMath Studio can be used to set up a model of alpha-particle scattering. The basic physics of the motion of an alpha-particle in the nuclear coulomb field is used to produce a simple stepwise computer algorithm which, in conjunction with a novel set of…

Hyland, Diarmaid; van Kampen, Paul; Nolan, Brien – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
This paper reports on data obtained during semi-structured interviews with students who had recently experienced a guided inquiry approach to learning ordinary differential equations (ODEs) in a service-taught module. Previous research identified the strengths and weaknesses of similar cohorts of students. The results from that research informed…

Pinheiro, André O.; Alvarinhas, José Pedro; Silva, Manuela Ramos – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
It is generally agreed that making real-world connections in mathematics teaching increases students' motivation and interest and contributes to meaningful and permanent learning. In this paper we propose a simple and fast activity to find a rectangular hyperbola in real life and we show how to operate the data to retrieve a straight line. Since…

Tisdell, Christopher C. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2019
Recently, Gauthier introduced a method to construct solutions to the equations of motion associated with oscillating systems into the mathematics education research literature. In particular, Gauthier's approach involved certain manipulations of the differential equations; and drew on the theory of complex variables.Motivated by the work of…
