Nicholas D. Duran; Amie Paige; Sidney K. D'Mello – Cognitive Science, 2024
Cocreating meaning in collaboration is challenging. Success is often determined by people's abilities to coordinate their language to converge upon shared mental representations. Here we explore one set of low-level linguistic behaviors, linguistic alignment, that both emerges from, and facilitates, outcomes of high-level convergence. Linguistic…

Allan Jeong; Renata Kuba – Knowledge Management & E-Learning, 2023
Including causal links in concept maps enables learners to meaningfully relate concepts to a larger context or problem in terms of how and where concepts apply within the chains of causal events that lead to a given goal or outcome. Given that higher quality maps are produced when students link and sequence events to flow temporally and…

Camilo Andrés Rodríguez-Nieto; José David Cabarcas-Jiménez; Adriana Lucía Sarmiento-Reales; Benilda María Cantillo-Rudas; Jesús David Berrio-Valbuena; Sudirman Sudirman; Angela Castro Inostroza – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2025
The level of arithmetic knowledge of a high school student was explored when solving additive word problems considering the semantic structure and syntactic component. The methodology was qualitative and developed in four stages: the first is the selection of the participant, the second is the design of a questionnaire with twenty additive…

Rachmawati, Yemima Indah; Sugandi, Eko; Prayitno, Lydia Lia – Journal of Research and Advances in Mathematics Education, 2019
Problem posing is a learning approach that trains students to be able to process and communicate mathematical problems based on information obtained. This study aims to describe the ability of high school students to pose problems on the topic of the system of linear equations in two variables (SLETV). This study used a quantitative descriptive…

Nagy, Tünde – Hungarian Educational Research Journal, 2020
When it comes to teaching vocabulary in foreign language classes words are often taught in isolation, without regard to the context in which they appear. The paper draws attention to the importance of teaching words in context so that the meaning of a word often results from the meaning of a larger construction it is part of. After presenting the…

Broisin, Julien; Hérouard, Clément – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2019
How to support students in programming learning has been a great research challenge in the last years. To address this challenge, prior works have mainly focused on proposing solutions based on syntactic analysis to provide students with personalized feedback about their grammatical programming errors and misconceptions. However, syntactic…

Espinoza González, Johan; Lupiáñez Gómez, José Luis; Segovia Alex, Isidoro – Electronic Journal of Research in Educational Psychology, 2016
Introduction: This paper analyzes the arithmetic problems posed by a group of mathematically talented students when given two problem-posing tasks, and compares these students' responses to those given by a standard group of public school students to the same tasks. Our analysis focuses on characterizing and identifying the differences between the…

Haglund, Jesper; Andersson, Staffan; Elmgren, Maja – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2016
Entropy is a central concept in thermodynamics, but has been found to be challenging to students due to its abstract nature and the fact that it is not part of students' everyday language. Interviews with three pairs of engineering students (N = 6) were conducted and video recorded regarding their interpretation and use of the entropy concept, one…

Hussain, Alaa Eddin; Khuddro, Ahmad – Advances in Language and Literary Studies, 2016
The present research work deals with subtitling errors encountered by simulators and proof-readers. The resultant work is of significant contribution to problem decision makings in the field of quality assessment of audiovisual translation (AVT). The outcome of this paper is the result of accumulated working experience in this domain. The relevant…

Peake, Christian; Jiménez, Juan E.; Rodríguez, Cristina; Bisschop, Elaine; Villarroel, Rebeca – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2015
Arithmetic word problem (AWP) solving is a highly demanding task for children with learning disabilities (LD) since verbal and mathematical information have to be integrated. This study examines specifically how syntactic awareness (SA), the ability to manage the grammatical structures of language, affects AWP solving. Three groups of children in…

Radakovic, Davorka; Herceg, Dorde – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2013
Dynamic geometry software (DGS) is often used for development of interactive teaching materials in many subjects, not only mathematics. These interactive materials can contain hundreds of elements in order to represent complex objects, and script programs to control their behavior. We propose an approach for creating, importing and using…

Easdown, David – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2009
This article discusses a variety of examples in errors in mathematical reasoning, the source of which is due to the tension between the syntax (form of mathematical expression) and semantics (underlying ideas or meaning). This article suggests that the heightened awareness of syntactic and semantic reasoning, and the consequent resolution of the…

Shuhidan, Shuhaida; Hamilton, Margaret; D'Souza, Daryl – Computer Science Education, 2010
Learning to program is known to be difficult for novices. High attrition and high failure rates in foundation-level programming courses undertaken at tertiary level in Computer Science programs, are commonly reported. A common approach to evaluating novice programming ability is through a combination of formative and summative assessments, with…

Switzer, Matt – ProQuest LLC, 2011
This study reports how 24 grade 4-6 students in one elementary and middle school interpreted formal and informal representations of variables. While interpretations for variables represented as letters (e.g., x and y) have been well established for students in algebra classes and beyond, little research into elementary school students'…
