Martin, Eli – ProQuest LLC, 2023
As the number of STEM opportunities and the need for a scientifically literate society increases, educators in STEM fields require tools that help support these needs. Chemistry is one STEM content area that would benefit from exploring educational technology that supports conceptual understanding. An action research study was conducted to…

Solé, Caterina; Couso, Digna; Hernández, María Isabel – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2023
Many studies have researched students' ideas about air pollution, basically focusing on nature and impact of gaseous pollutants on human health. However, recent research has highlighted the importance of the role of particulate matter air pollution for a good air quality in cities. This phenomenon is especially interesting for exploring the limits…

Varoglu, Lutfiye; Yilmaz, Ayhan; Sen, Senol – Pedagogical Research, 2023
This study aims to examine the effect of conceptual understandings related to anion-cation, acid-base, ionic-covalent, metal-nonmetal, and number of protons-number of electrons concept pairs taught in the periodic table to 8th grade students with the 5E learning model supported by concept maps. The study was conducted among 100 (50 in the…

Ala' J. Alnaser; Justin Hoffmeier – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
Differential equations are widely used tools for modelling the world around us, making a course in differential equations a natural place for students to connect concrete mathematical applications to abstract concepts. Since students grasp the concepts better by applying them, introducing differential equations through modelling becomes essential.…

Paola Iannone; Athina Thoma – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
Programming is becoming increasingly common in mathematics degrees as it is a desirable skill for new graduates. However, research shows that its use is mostly restricted to computational or modelling tasks. This paper reports a study on students' perceptions of and difficulties with Lean, an interactive theorem prover introduced as part of a…

Sayonita Ghosh Hajra; Zareen Gul Aga – PRIMUS, 2024
The manuscript describes a community-based mathematical modeling task that was implemented in a Calculus I classroom to engage students in mathematical modeling. Twenty-five undergraduate students engaged in this activity. These students selected a context that they found interesting, posed questions, developed constraints, came up with solution…

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…

Molecular representations that show chemical bonding are ubiquitous in general and organic chemistry. These help in communicating chemistry concepts that are fundamental to understanding "how" and "why" molecules interact. The goal of this dissertation work is to offer an evidence-based report on the affordances and limitations…

Espinoza, Cecilia; Orvis, Kathryn S.; Brophy, Sean P. – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
This research investigates students' learning about the electron transport chain (ETC) process in photosynthesis by watching a video followed by playing a serious board game--"Electron Chute"--that models ETC. The learning objectives targeted enriching a mental model that students could use to explain the causal relationship of the ETC…

Kaya, Zehra; Kaya, Osman Nafiz; Aydemir, Selçuk; Ebenezer, Jazlin – Research in Science Education, 2022
There is a collective agreement about the necessity of content knowledge (CK) as a prerequisite for pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). However, most PCK models lack explanatory power because of the missing link between CK and PCK. Thus, the study firstly attempts to develop a theoretical model that consists of knowledge of students' learning…

Quane, Kate – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2022
The use of manipulatives to develop conceptual understanding appears to be a prevalent practice in many mathematical learning experiences, particularly in the early years of schooling. This study evaluates the impact of mathematical manipulatives on young children's attitudes towards mathematics (YCATM). The modified three-dimensional model of…

Iqbal Malik, Sohail; Mathew, Roy; Tawafak, Ragad M.; Alfarsi, Ghaliya – E-Learning and Digital Media, 2021
Algorithmic thinking is considered as one of the important steps toward learning to code for novices in programming education. In this study, algorithmic thinking was promoted by introducing a Problem Analysis Algorithmic Model (PAAM) in an Algorithms and Programming 1 (AP) course. A web-based application is developed to offer the PAAM model in…

Wessman-Enzinger, Nicole M.; Mooney, Edward S. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
In this article, we report the findings of a study conducted with 6 Grade 8 students in the United States. The students posed stories for open number sentences involving addition and subtraction of integers. We analysed the stories posed by the students to build models that describe the conceptual structures behind these posed stories -- the…

Kercher, Andrew; Bergman, Anna Marie; Zazkis, Rina – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2022
Mathematical terminology is sometimes created according to conventions that are not obvious to students who will use the term. When this is the case, investigating the choice of a name can reveal interesting and unforeseen connections among mathematical topics. In this study, we tasked prospective and practicing teachers to consider: What is…

Ait-Adda, Samia; Bousbia, Nabila; Balla, Amar – E-Learning and Digital Media, 2023
Our aim in this paper is to improve the efficiency of a learning process by using learners' traces to detect particular needs. The analysis of the semantic path of a learner or group of learners during the learning process can allow detecting those students who are in needs of help as well as identify the insufficiently mastered concepts. We…
