Hortensia Soto; Leonardo Abbrescia; Adam Castillo; Laura Colmenarejo; Anthony Sanchez; Rosaura Uscanga – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2024
In this case study we explored how a mathematician's teaching of the Cauchy-Riemann (CR) equations actualized the virtual aspects of the equations. Using videotaped classroom data, we found that in a three-day period, this mathematician used embodiment to animate and bind formal aspects of the CR equations (including conformality), metaphors,…

Alma Jahic Pettersson; Kristina Danielsson; Carl-Johan Rundgren – Research in Science Education, 2025
Previous research suggests that the use of metaphors in science education have both possibilities and challenges. In this study, we analyse the role of metaphors in meaning-making in the upper primary science classroom. We investigate the potential of metaphors about nutrient uptake occurring in classrooms in which an animation was used. To…

Jenny Byman; Kristiina Kumpulainen; Jenny Renlund – Australian Journal of Environmental Education, 2024
Based on an ethnographic study in a Finnish primary school, we explored lingering as both a pedagogical approach and a methodological concept for multispecies education research and practice. Through this conceptual thinking, we "re-turned" to the multiplicities that unfolded from noticing rhythms, enterings and different lifeworlds to…

Jennifer G. Cromley; Runzhi Chen – Grantee Submission, 2024
Visual displays, such as illustrated web pages, animations, and simulations, can both aid and pose challenges for learners. The first generation of educational research on visuals focused on the basic processes underlying comprehension. A second generation of research tested various instructional supports for visual displays, and this research was…

Awais Malik; Bärbel Fürstenau – Citizenship, Social and Economics Education, 2024
Financial literacy is crucial for making sound financial decisions and living a better life. However, the field of finance is full of abstract concepts, such as inflation, liquidity, asset allocation and credit. Abstract concepts may be harder to comprehend than concrete concepts due to their lack of tangible referents in the physical world. In…

Simon C. Cork; Emma Yhnell – Discover Education, 2024
The educational benefit of the traditional didactic lecture to learners in Higher Education is hotly debated. Given increasing student numbers, existing technical set ups and many logistical concerns, lectures remain the norm in many Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). In this personal view piece, we discuss the benefits, opportunities, and…
