Ahu Canogullari; Ayhan Kursat Erbas – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Technological mediums such as dynamic environments with drag-and-drop features have been considered promising agents in helping students explore and generate conjectures about mathematical concepts. This study investigated the dragging modalities sixth and seventh-grade students use in solving proportional problems in a dynamic geometry…

Yuan-Chen Liu; Tzu-Hua Huang; Chia-Ling Sung – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
Computational thinking is an important skill in computer science since the 1960s, and it is closely related to problem solving. Almost all research related to computational thinking mentions problem solving. Although some research has been conducted on computational thinking, few studies examined the impact of personal traits on students'…

Wang, Cixiao; Wang, Jingxin; Shi, Zhu; Wu, Feng – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
Digital instructional tools, such as virtual manipulatives, have been widely adopted as an enhanced approach to inquiry-based learning. However, the optimal ratio of mobile devices to students in instructional settings remain controversial. This research introduced a counterbalanced quasi-experiment to compare the learning performance and…

Wong, Gary Ka-Wai; Cheung, Ho-Yin – Interactive Learning Environments, 2020
The role of programming in computing education for children has grown rapidly in recent years with the proliferation of specially designed programming tools, which is grounded on Seymour Papert's theoretical work in Constructionism. Studies show that some children can develop computational thinking skills and practices with programming activities…

Rodríguez-Martínez, José Antonio; González-Calero, José Antonio; Sáez-López, José Manuel – Interactive Learning Environments, 2020
The potential benefits from the introduction of programming environments such as "Scratch" for learning mathematics has reactivated research in this area. Nonetheless, there are few studies which attempt to analyse their influence at the stage of Primary Education. We present the results of a quasi-experimental piece of research with…

Sung, Han-Yu; Hwang, Gwo-Jen; Wu, Po-Han; Lin, Dai-Qi – Interactive Learning Environments, 2018
Facilitating students' deep-strategy behaviors and positive learning performances of science inquiry is an important and challenging educational issue. In this study, a contextual science inquiry approach is proposed for developing a 3D experiential game to cope with this problem. To evaluate the impacts of the game on students' science learning…

Smith, Cary Stacy; Hung, Li-Ching – Interactive Learning Environments, 2017
In Taiwan, teaching focuses around lecturing, with students having little opportunity to interact with each other. Problem-based learning (PBL) is a means of instruction where students learn the subject by being active participants in the pedagogical process, with the emphasis on problem-solving. In this study, the authors investigated whether PBL…
