Natarajan, Sukumar; McCullen, Nick; Lo, Steve; Coley, David; Arja, Omaimah Ali; Moran, Francis – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2021
Engineering is a practical discipline, dedicated to the solution of problems through the sound application of principles derived from the natural sciences and mathematics. Engineering pedagogy has therefore to balance the need for learners to gain a deep understanding of the theoretical basis of the problem domain whilst grasping its practical…

Kuehnert, Eloise R. A.; Eddy, Colleen M.; Miller, Daphyne; Pratt, Sarah S.; Senawongsa, Chanika – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2018
In this article, the authors describe the Japanese term "bansho," which refers to the intentional use of board space for facilitating student learning. Bansho offers a structure for sequencing mathematics visually on the board. By purposefully organizing the board space alongside the lesson, teachers can provide students with a framework…

Domenick, Anthony – Online Submission, 2015
Patterns are a ubiquitous phenomenon. They exist in nature's plant species emerging as a complete order from truncated matter. Patterns are also present in the fine arts where the aesthetic properties of form exist and conjugate through paintings and sculptures. Mathematical patterns, the focus of this position paper, dominate financial scenarios,…

Huang, Hong – Online Submission, 2016
Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a widely adopted pedagogy that ignites students' interest of a subject through the investigation of an authentic problem and cultivates their abilities of innovation and self-learning. Traditional PBL often involves a project of complexity and significant scale, which, under the time constraint of a course, is often…

Glaser-Opitz, Henrich; Budajová, Kristina – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2016
The article introduces a software application (MATH) supporting an education of Applied Mathematics, with focus on Numerical Mathematics. The MATH is an easy to use tool supporting various numerical methods calculations with graphical user interface and integrated plotting tool for graphical representation written in Qt with extensive use of Qwt…

Min, Wookhee; Wiggins, Joseph B.; Pezzullo, Lydia G.; Vail, Alexandria K.; Boyer, Kristy Elizabeth; Mott, Bradford W.; Frankosky, Megan H.; Wiebe, Eric N.; Lester, James C. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2016
Recent years have seen a growing interest in intelligent game-based learning environments featuring virtual agents. A key challenge posed by incorporating virtual agents in game-based learning environments is dynamically determining the dialogue moves they should make in order to best support students' problem solving. This paper presents a…

Lelli, Colleen – Kappa Delta Pi Record, 2014
After children have witnessed domestic violence, the lingering trauma can undermine their ability to learn and succeed in school. With the right classroom strategies, however, teachers can help students relieve stress, reengage in the curriculum, stay focused and organized, attend to tasks, and reestablish relationships.

Strickland, Tricia K.; Maccini, Paula – Intervention in School and Clinic, 2010
To improve student success in mathematics, the use of research-based interventions is necessary to help secondary students with learning disabilities (LD) access the algebra curriculum. The authors provide an overview of the following research-based approaches: explicit instruction, graduated instructional sequence, technology, and graphic…

Young, Sarah – Science Scope, 2010
The "What's the "matter" With XOD" activity addresses students' misconceptions and refines their ideas about phases of matter. This activity introduces the characteristics for solids, liquids, and gases, and begins a discussion about physical and chemical changes and how matter can cycle through different phases. Depending on class size and…

Hung, Woei – Educational Research Review, 2009
The design of problems is crucial for the effectiveness of problem-based learning (PBL). Research has shown that PBL problems have not always been effective. Ineffective PBL problems could affect whether students acquire sufficient domain knowledge, activate appropriate prior knowledge, and properly direct their own learning. This paper builds on…

Seifert, Christine – Business Communication Quarterly, 2009
This paper details an assignment sequence that requires graduate students in an applied communication program to identify problems that clients may not be aware of. Good writing and good problem-solving are "inextricably linked to [a student's] ability to frame an issue, gather, and analyze information, and to structure a helpful response" (Musso,…

Lesh, Richard; Yoon, Caroline – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2004
If a curriculum developer's goal is to create a single linear sequence of tasks that lead to the development of some important mathematical concept, then some researchers have suggested that these sequences should follow progressions similar to stages of development that have been identified in Piaget-like research on the relevant concept(s).…

Foster, Patrick N. – Technology Teacher, 2006
Almost every K-8 technology activity includes feedback. Technology teachers generally view the input-process-output paradigm as being incomplete. A step toward completion would be the inclusion of a "feedback" component incorporating reengineering. This article provides an example of how one activity evolved through several stages to include…
