Luiza Vilarta Rodriguez; Jan T. van der Veen; Ton de Jong – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
In this study, we explore the use of analogies with classical physics in introductory quantum physics (QP) teaching. This work is part of a larger project in which a learning sequence covering three introductory QP topics was designed, tested, and evaluated in collaboration with high school teachers and physics education researchers. Based on the…

Rukiye Ayan-Civak; Mine Isiksal-Bostan; Seçil Yemen-Karpuzcu – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
This study is a case study within a three-year-long design research study. The purposes of this study are twofold. The first purpose includes investigating whether there is a significant difference in seventh-grade students' proportional reasoning skills before and after a teaching experiment conducted in line with the perspectives of Hypothetical…

Riley Stone; Doug Van Dine; Jose Aguayo – Mathematica, 2024
This study examines whether teachers' content adaptations to middle school math curricula align with mathematical learning progressions and explores their motivations for adaptation. This study originates from a concern that as teachers make adaptations to their lessons, they may make adaptations that move students away from the intended learning…

Sarama, Julie; Clements, Douglas H.; Barrett, Jeffrey E.; Cullen, Craig J.; Hudyma, Aaron; Vanegas, Yuly – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2022
Measurement is a critical component of mathematics education, but research on the learning and teaching of measurement is limited. We previously introduced, refined, and validated a developmental progression -- the cognitive core of a learning trajectory -- for length measurement in the early years. A complete learning trajectory includes…

Crawford, Angela; Kernin, Aysia – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2022
This study explores a spatial reasoning learning trajectory of a student with difficulty in mathematics. Using a teaching experiment methodology across 15 instructional sessions, we observed how the student responded to instruction based on an established 2D shape composition learning trajectory (Sarama & Clements, 2009). A narrative…

Pavel Chernyavskiy; Traci S. Kutaka; Carson Keeter; Julie Sarama; Douglas Clements – Grantee Submission, 2024
When researchers code behavior that is undetectable or falls outside of the validated ordinal scale, the resultant outcomes often suffer from informative missingness. Incorrect analysis of such data can lead to biased arguments around efficacy and effectiveness in the context of experimental and intervention research. Here, we detail a new…
