Measurement is significant in geospatial thinking research. This study evaluated the geospatial thinking of pre-service geography teachers through an orienteering design tasks and subjective evaluation methods. Moreover, it analyzed their level of geospatial thinking, difficulty of evaluation indicators and rater severity with the Many-Faceted…

Ilyse Resnick; Elizabeth Louise Chapman; Thomas F. Shipley – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2024
Visual representations of data are widely used for communication and understanding, particularly in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). However, despite their importance, many people have difficulty understanding data-based visualizations. This work presents a series of three studies that examine how understanding time-based…

Vela, Katherine N.; Parslow, Michelle; Hagevik, Rita; Trundle, Kathy Cabe – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2022
When students see mathematics as an integrated field of study, they make connections, gain a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts, and see mathematics as a whole rather than disconnected, unrelated ideas. Measurement concepts are the perfect "seed to plant" to show how different mathematical strands integrate within other…

Seah, Rebecca Tock Kuan; Horne, Marj – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2020
Measurement concepts such as volume and surface area provide rich contexts for real-world applications of number processes. Despite their importance, many students and prospective teachers show superficial understanding of measurement concepts. A lack of spatial reasoning and integration of geometric knowledge in problem solving situations may be…

Cohrssen, Caroline; Pearn, Catherine – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2021
In Australia, more attention is being paid to inclusion of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (the so-called STEM subjects) concepts in early childhood education and care curricula. In addition, the focus on the quality of learning in the years prior to school is a growing priority, evidenced by pre-election promises to extend the…

Antony, James W.; Bennion, Kelly A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Semantic similarity between stimuli can lead to false memories and can also potentially cause retroactive interference (RI) for veridical memories. Here, participants first learned spatial locations for "critical" words that reliably produce false memories in the Deese-Roediger-McDermott paradigm. Next, participants centrally viewed…

Lise E. Welch Bond – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Research has shown that computational thinking and kindergarten mathematics instruction can be integrated; however, evidence of how specific mathematical knowledge relates to computational thinking remains scarce. Additionally, we do not know if and how children's mathematical knowledge co-occurs with computational thinking and how these…

Eylül Turan; Bert De Smedt – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2024
A growing body of research suggests that children's understanding of mathematical language is critical for their mathematical abilities. Most of this work has been restricted to single language learners (i.e., SLLs), and used dual language learners (i.e., DLLs) as an exclusion criterion, raising questions about the generalizability of these…

A deeper understanding of what factors influence metacognition has never become more pressing than in today's digital era, in which information flows constantly and quickly. To this end, the present study explored the role of culture in mediating how individuals experience metacognitive phenomena. For this purpose, the International Group on…

Herbert P. Ginsburg – Teachers College Press, 2025
Explore young children's remarkable everyday math that can lay the groundwork for formal math education in kindergarten and beyond. Readers will learn how math is embedded in children's everyday lives, how daily routines contribute to the development of important math concepts, and what adults can do to foster the joy of early math learning.…

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…

Allen, Katie; Giofrè, David – Educational Psychology, 2021
Despite evidence for the involvement of working memory in mathematics attainment, the understanding of its components relationship to individual areas of mathematics is somewhat restricted. This study aims to better understand this relationship. Two-hundred and fourteen year 3 children in the UK were administered tests of verbal and visuospatial…

Integrated science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (iSTEM) education allow learners to utilize multiple disciplinary perspectives. However, the discipline of mathematics remains underrepresented in iSTEM curriculum. To explore the nature of mathematical thinking with an iSTEM curricular approach that emphasizes mathematics, we…

Vasilyeva, Marina; Laski, Elida V.; Veraksa, Aleksander; Bukhalenkova, Daria – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
Elementary school mathematics instruction aims to develop children's understanding of both numerical and spatial mathematics--two key areas of mathematical learning. The present study explored how learning within one of these areas may impact the other. Specifically, it investigated whether a measurement-to-number intervention designed to increase…

Dimmel, Justin K.; Pandiscio, Eric A.; Bock, Camden; Reedman, Emma – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2021
We report the design of an analog technology, what we refer to as a SunRule, that uses sunlight to model multiplication. Physical models that explore multiplication are fixtures in elementary mathematics classrooms. Our interest in physical models of multiplication was driven by an overarching design problem: How could a physical tool realize a…
