Fielding, Jill; Makar, Katie – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2022
Conceptual challenge is often considered a necessary ingredient for promoting deep learning in an inquiry-based environment. However, challenge alone does not support conceptual development. In this paper, we draw on complexity theory as a theoretical lens to explore how a primary teacher facilitated students' conceptual change through repeated…

Noll, Jennifer; Kirin, Dana; Clement, Kit; Dolor, Jason – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2023
Using simulation approaches when conducting randomization tests for comparing two groups in the context of experimental studies has been promoted as a beneficial approach for supporting student learning of statistical inference. Many researchers have suggested that the data production process in simulations for the randomization test intuitively…

Ruiz Reyes, Karen; Contreras Garcia, Jose Miguel – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2021
In statistical inference, importance of sampling is recognized as one of its key concepts, which has allowed its incorporation internationally in different curricular guidelines and specifically in the Chilean curriculum, since the first notions of sampling are introduced in 7th Grade. This paper presents an analysis of the responses to an…

Chen, Lujie Karen; Ramsey, Joseph; Dubrawski, Artur – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2021
Human one-on-one coaching involves complex multimodal interactions. Successful coaching requires teachers to closely monitor students' cognitive-affective states and provide support of optimal type, timing, and amount. However, most of the existing human tutoring studies focus primarily on verbal interactions and have yet to incorporate the rich…

Çibik, Naz Fulya; Boz-Yaman, Burçak – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2022
The purpose of this paper is to integrate mathematical modeling and ecology by presenting an activity involving an authentic environmental problem, which is called "Pine Processionary Caterpillars Invasion." Adopting Mathematical Modeling and Education for Climate Action (EfCA) approaches, it was aimed to encourage pre-service teachers…

Sánchez Sánchez, Ernesto; García Rios, Víctor N.; Silvestre Castro, Eleazar; Licea, Guadalupe Carrasco – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2020
In this paper, we address the following questions: What misconceptions do high school students exhibit in their first encounter with significance test problems through a repeated sampling approach? Which theory or framework could explain the presence and features of such patterns? With brief prior instruction on the use of Fathom software to…

Trafimow, David – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2017
There has been much controversy over the null hypothesis significance testing procedure, with much of the criticism centered on the problem of inverse inference. Specifically, p gives the probability of the finding (or one more extreme) given the null hypothesis, whereas the null hypothesis significance testing procedure involves drawing a…

Dunn, Peter K.; Marshman, Margaret – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2020
Peter Dunn and Margaret Marshman present the second of their data files articles in which they discuss the statistical investigation cycle which describes the whole process of conducting a statistical research study. [For "The Data Files: A Series of Articles to Support Mathematics Teachers to Teach Statistics," see EJ1259108.]

Edson, Alden Jack – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2017
This exploratory study reports on how students activated learner-controlled scaffolding and navigated through sequences of connected problems in a digital learning environment. A design experiment was completed to (re)design, iteratively develop, test, and evaluate a digital version of an instructional unit focusing on binomial distributions and…

Bedwell, Mike – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2015
This article is based on classroom application of a problem story constructed by Amos Tversky in the 1970s. His intention was to evaluate human beings' intuitions about statistical inference. The problem was revisited by his colleague, the Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman. The aim of this article is to show how popular science textbooks can…

Green, Jennifer L.; Smith, Wendy M.; Kerby, April T.; Blankenship, Erin E.; Schmid, Kendra K.; Carlson, Mary Alice – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2018
In this study, we examined how in-service middle-level mathematics teachers used statistics in their own classroom research. Using an embedded single-case design, we analyzed a purposefully selected sample of nine teachers' classroom research papers, identifying several themes within each phase of the statistical problem solving process to…

Strayer, Jeremy; Matuszewski, Amber – Mathematics Teacher, 2016
In this article, Strayer and Matuszewski present a six-phase strategy that teachers can use to help students develop a conceptual understanding of inferential hypothesis testing through simulation. As Strayer and Matuszewski discuss the strategy, they describe each phase in general, explain how they implemented the phase while teaching their…

Jarosz, Andrew F.; Wiley, Jennifer – Journal of Problem Solving, 2014
The purpose of this paper is to provide an easy template for the inclusion of the Bayes factor in reporting experimental results, particularly as a recommendation for articles in the "Journal of Problem Solving." The Bayes factor provides information with a similar purpose to the "p"-value--to allow the researcher to make…

Shadreck, Mandina; Enunuwe, Ochonogor Chukunoye – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2017
The study sought to find out difficulties encountered by high school chemistry students when solving stoichiometric problems and how these could be overcome by using a problem-solving approach. The study adopted a quasi-experimental design. 485 participants drawn from 8 highs schools in a local education district in Zimbabwe participated in the…

Zetterqvist, Lena – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications, 2017
Researchers and teachers often recommend motivating exercises and use of mathematics or statistics software for the teaching of basic courses in probability and statistics. Our courses are given to large groups of engineering students at Lund Institute of Technology. We found that the mere existence of real-life data and technology in a course…
