Reyhan Safak – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Structural reasoning is a combined ability to "look for structures, recognize structures, probe into structures, act upon structures, reason in terms of general structures, and see how a piece of knowledge acquired resolves a perturbation experienced" (Harel and Soto, 2017). The purpose of this study was to explore the cognitive…

Nguyen-Dang Minh Phuc; Huynh Tan Thanh Tam – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2024
Mathematics education often grapples with the challenge of teaching abstract mathematical concepts, particularly those existing in 3D space. Visualizing, manipulating, and comprehending these abstract objects can be a formidable task for learners. While 3D printing technology has found applications in various fields, its utilization in mathematics…

Lansford, Kaitlin L.; Borrie, Stephanie A.; Barrett, Tyson S.; Flechaus, Cassidy – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Robust improvements in intelligibility following familiarization, a listener-targeted perceptual training paradigm, have been revealed for talkers diagnosed with spastic, ataxic, and hypokinetic dysarthria but not for talkers with hyperkinetic dysarthria. While the theoretical explanation for the lack of intelligibility improvement…

Backhouse, Simon; Taylor, Darci; Armitage, James A. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2019
Understanding orbital anatomy is important for optometry students, but the learning resources available are often fragile, expensive, and accessible only during scheduled classes. Drawing on a constructivist, personalized approach to learning, this study investigated students' perceptions of an alternative learning resource: a three-dimensional…

Craig Thorburn – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Language learners need to map a continuous, multidimensional acoustic signal to discrete abstract speech categories. The complexity of this mapping poses a difficult learning problem, particularly for second language learners who struggle to acquire the speech sounds of a non-native language, and almost never reach native-like ability. A common…

Aghaei, Pouria; Bavali, Mohammad; Behjat, Fatemeh – International Journal of Instruction, 2020
EFL teacher's identity plays a significant role in the construction of teachers' characteristics in educational settings. In the Iranian EFL context, the study of teachers' role identity has been given more attention in recent years. The present study has two objectives. First, it aimed to investigate Iranian EFL teachers' perception of their role…

Harris, Patricia Ann – ProQuest LLC, 2019
Spatial intelligence is an essential skill commonly used within various fields of science. Students with low spatial abilities frequently struggle to identify, retrieve, and apply key complex abstract information presented as multiple representations to actual three-dimensional natural materials and phenomena. Spatial ability may be considered a…

Smith, Derrick W.; Lampley, Sandra A.; Dolan, Bob; Williams, Greg; Schleppenbach, David; Blair, Morgan – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2020
Introduction: The emerging technology of three-dimensional (3D) printing has the potential to provide unique 3D modeling to support specific content in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, particularly chemistry. Method: Seventeen (n=17) students with visual impairments were provided direct instruction on chemistry…

Teke, Dilek; Sozbilir, Mustafa – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2019
This study aimed to identify the needs of a 10th grade congenitally blind student in an inclusive chemistry classroom and design and develop tactile materials to teach the 'energy in living systems' topic with particular emphasis on covering the symbolic language of the chemistry. A single case study design was used to carry out an in-depth and…

Elsworth, Catherine; Li, Barbara T. Y.; Ten, Abilio – Journal of Chemical Education, 2017
In this letter we present an innovative and cost-effective method of constructing crystal structures using Dual Lock fastening adhesive tape with table tennis (ping pong) balls. The use of these fasteners allows the balls to be easily assembled into layers to model various crystal structures and unit cells and then completely disassembled again.…

Sipe, Brenda S. – Community College Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Design thinking is a strategy for innovation popularized in the business press and recently investigated in academic literature. Some research points to design thinking as an enabler of an organizational culture of innovation. Much research demonstrates a link between a culture of innovation and successful business outcomes in every sector, and…

Pande, Prajakt; Chandrasekharan, Sanjay – Studies in Science Education, 2017
Multiple external representations (MERs) are central to the practice and learning of science, mathematics and engineering, as the phenomena and entities investigated and controlled in these domains are often not available for perception and action. MERs therefore play a twofold constitutive role in reasoning in these domains. Firstly, MERs stand…

Kern, Beth; Mettetal, Gwendolyn; Dixson, Marcia D.; Morgan, Robin K. – Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2015
In this essay, we explore definitions and taxonomies of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) and present a model of the Dimensions of Activities Related to Teaching (DART) which provides a context for SoTL along two dimensions: public/private and systematic/informal. The four quadrants: practice of teaching, sharing about teaching,…

Rau, Martina A.; Mason, Blake; Nowak, Robert – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2016
To succeed in STEM, students need to learn to use visual representations. Most prior research has focused on conceptual knowledge about visual representations that is acquired via verbally mediated forms of learning. However, students also need perceptual fluency: the ability to rapidly and effortlessly translate among representations. Perceptual…
