Per Nilsson; Andreas Eckert – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2024
This study contributes to the call for influencing practice by increasing attention to how learning environments can be designed to support learning in statistical inference. We report on a design experiment in secondary school (students 14-16 years old), that resulted in a set of lessons with the learning goal of teaching students how to apply…

Tu, Xintian; Danish, Joshua; Humburg, Megan; Zhou, Mengxi; Mathayas, Nitasha; Enyedy, Noel; Jen, Tessaly – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2023
While there is increased interest in using movement and embodiment to support learning due to the rise in theories of embodied cognition and learning, additional work needs to be done to explore how we can make sense of students collectively developing their understanding within a mixed-reality environment. In this paper, we explore embodied…

Wesley Beccaro; Elisabete Galeazzo; Denise Consonni; Henrique E. Maldonado Peres; Leopoldo R. Yoshioka – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2024
Contribution: The evaluation of analog-to-digital conversion methods constitutes a key component of an Instrumentation course. This study introduces an affordable educational platform based on Arduino UNO board designed for teaching analog-to-digital conversion concepts, supported by virtual instruments (VIs). Background: ADCs are electronic…

Gargrish, Shubham; Mantri, Archana; Kaur, Deepti Prit – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
The teaching of Mathematics -- in particular, Geometry, through conventional methods has been a challenging task for tutors. Augmented Reality (AR) based applications available in commercial space, have not followed any structured pedagogical approach in the designing process, and also do not ensure that the learning time of students is spent…

Aqlan, Faisal; Zhao, Richard – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2022
Contribution: This article discusses the use of manufacturing simulation games to study collaborative problem-solving skills in engineering students. The simulation represents the mass production paradigm in which large quantities of identical products are produced. Empirical data is collected from the simulation to evaluate the skills engineering…

Jasmin Bastian; Christian Toth; Christina Wolf – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2022
The authors developed, implemented, and evaluated a digital simulation game for media education in teacher training. The aim of the simulation game is to simulate decision-making processes in schools for the implementation of hybrid teaching in the context of the pandemic. The question is whether the participation in a digital simulation games…

Wang, Hong-Syuan; Chen, Sufen; Yen, Miao-Hsuan – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
This study aims to examine the effectiveness of metacognitive scaffolding in different inquiry tasks related to optics. Two high school classes participated in this study. One class, the treatment group (n = 33), which integrated metacognitive prompts into the simulation-based inquiry, was compared to the other class, the control group (n = 34),…

Julianna Washington; Taylor Darwin; Theodora Beauchamp; Candace Walkington – Grantee Submission, 2024
Prisms VR, a secondary math learning application, allows for users to see, manipulate, and engage with mathematical concepts in an embodied way in Virtual Reality (VR) environment. We examine cases in which mathematics teachers and middle school students worked through Prisms and reflected upon their experiences. Findings indicate that VR…

Kwon, Yeil; Sahin, Nesrin – International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, 2021
Probability is generally considered one of the most challenging areas to teach in mathematics education due to its intricate nature. However, the simulation-based teaching method can increase students' accessibility significantly to the probability problems because it enables students to resolve the problems with minimal mathematical skills. By…

Coleman, Philip; Hosein, Anesa – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
Laboratory tasks often focus on mechanical procedures leaving limited time and opportunities for students to build conceptual knowledge. We investigate to what extent introducing simulation tasks to preparation work can enable students to build their conceptual knowledge. We surveyed two cohorts of students taking an electronics module. Laboratory…
