The 21st-century mathematics classrooms should equip learners with well-grounded knowledge and thinking skills pertaining to geometry. However, Euclidean geometry remains one of the challenging, if not the most difficult topic for many learners. As a result, the purpose of this article is to interpret Grade 12 learners' learning difficulties in…

Küchemann, Stefan; Malone, Sarah; Edelsbrunner, Peter; Lichtenberger, Andreas; Stern, Elsbeth; Schumacher, Ralph; Brünken, Roland; Vaterlaus, Andreas; Kuhn, Jochen – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
Representational competence is essential for the acquisition of conceptual understanding in physics. It enables the interpretation of diagrams, graphs, and mathematical equations, and relating these to one another as well as to observations and experimental outcomes. In this study, we present the initial validation of a newly developed…

Porter, Keri; Yokoi, Craig; Yee, Bertina – Science and Children, 2011
Along with inquiry-based teaching, exploring the elements of art can guide students to view and represent objects realistically. Understanding line, shape, color, value, form, space, and texture helps bridge the gap between what students actually observe and what their preconceived ideas about the object may be. This type of explicit instruction…
