Zeynep Gül Dertli; Bahadir Yildiz – Journal of Inquiry Based Activities, 2025
In STEM education, the engineering design process serves as a pedagogical strategy to connect science and mathematics concepts. While STEM approaches are increasingly favored in science courses, the role of mathematics in integrated STEM activities is often overlooked, despite its foundational importance across STEM disciplines. This manuscript…

Cheng- Yao Lin; Kuan- Chun Chen; Jie Shi Liew; Ho-Feng Chueh – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2024
Understanding negative numbers can be challenging for many students, as these concepts may seem less tangible than counting objects, which are commonly represented by positive numbers. In addition, the multiplication of two negative numbers resulting in a positive might appear inconsistent and puzzling to young learners who are used to seeing the…

Prain, Vaughan; Xu, Lihua; Speldewinde, Christopher – Research in Science Education, 2023
There is a long tradition of teaching science through inquiry, with broad agreement about the form it should take. Students should investigate researchable questions; gather and analyse data; and develop and represent evidence-based claims. Authoritative teacher or textbook representations are generally used to guide this learning (Buckley &…

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…

Buad Al Khales; Intisar Natsheh; Fathi Ihmeideh; Mina Kim – Education 3-13, 2024
This study aims to examine how five-year-old children demonstrate their learning through mathematical games in preschool settings in Palestine. It also explored the perspectives of children and teachers of different stages of play. The sample consisted of 90 children and 6 teachers. Children were guided to a wide range of mathematical games.…

Zhang, Kai – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
In this article, we use a simple lattice model to illustrate the concepts of entropy, free energy, and thermodynamic equilibrium from a microscopic perspective. These physical concepts are based on elementary knowledge of discrete probability distribution and weighted average. Calculations about this model involve basic algebra and counting, which…

Muhammet Mustafa Alpaslan; Bugrahan Yalvac – Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education, 2023
Climate change put most species' survival in danger because it substantially affects the climate in which the species live, the quality of the water they drink, as well as the temperature of the air or water. When climate change increases the temperature of the climate, excessive evaporation occurs in lands, lakes, seas, and oceans. Our purpose in…

Öçal, Mehmet Fatih; Simsek, Mertkan; Kapucu, Serkan – PRIMUS, 2021
The use of smartphones is increasingly gaining popularity in education. Students and teachers can determine scientific concepts using smartphones equipped with sensors such as Global Positioning System (GPS -- a navigation system that provides location information) and orientation (a device to measure coordinates according to a reference frame).…

Sarah Hatoum-Andaverde – ProQuest LLC, 2021
The instructional decisions made by classroom teachers impact the learning acquired by students. The Common Core Mathematics Standards and the history of mathematics education in the United States create a background for how geometry standards are taught in one Midwest middle school. A study of the pacing guides, lesson plans, and naturalistic…

Salinas-Hernández, Ulises; Moreno-Armella, Luis; Miranda, Isaias – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2019
In this article we present and discuss some theoretical and methodological elements of a wider research that analyzes the teaching practice of two teachers novice and expert from a semiotic theoretical approach. The conceptual framework of this work allows for addressing the epistemological and didactic dimensions of the teaching practice. Three…

Bahtaji, Michael Allan A. – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2021
5E instructional model is commonly utilized in science teaching to promote conceptual learning. However, the benefit of 5E instructional model cannot be fully attained if the knowledge and skills essential to learning were not properly established from past. Similarly, the development of new concepts cannot be fully attained if the important…

Markwick, Andy – Primary Science, 2019
Exploiting the special synergy between science and mathematics can deepen children's understanding of scientific concepts and ideas and provide a range of contextualised opportunities for children to apply their mathematical knowledge and skills. With some creative thought and careful planning, science activities can be developed so that they…

Giamellaro, Michael; O'Connell, Kari; Knapp, Melinda – International Journal of Science Education, 2020
This study describes outcomes from a place-based, teacher-scientist partnership intended to support teacher use of authentic data for science and math instruction. Teachers worked with scientists in the field to practice collection and analysis of authentic data. This case study investigated how narrative structure and contextualisation were…

Sokolowski, Andrzej – Physics Education, 2021
Analysing graphs, formulating covariational relationships, and hypothesizing systems' behaviour have emerged as frequent objectives of contemporary research in physics education. As such, these studies aim to help students achieve these objectives. While a consensus has been reached on the cognitive benefits of emphasizing the structural domain of…
