Comprehending 3D diagrams is critical for success in scientific practice and research demonstrates that understanding of 3D geology diagrams can be improved by making predictive sketches. In mathematics, explaining erroneous examples can support learning. This study combined these approaches to better understand how to effectively support 3D…

Shuwairi, Sarah M.; Tran, Annie; Belardo, John; Murphy, Gregory L. – Infant and Child Development, 2020
Prior work showed that infants look longer at impossible figures than possible ones, although it is unclear whether they or older children understand "impossibility." We employed a series of matching and sorting tasks with pictures and objects to evaluate children's knowledge of this dimension. In Experiment 1, nearly all children…

Burch, Lori; Tillema, Erik S.; Gatza, Andrew M. – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2021
As algebra teachers, the authors explore the following question in this article: "How can algebra 1, algebra 2, and precalculus teachers support students to develop algebraic reasoning and understanding of structure that can serve them in day-to-day algebraic computation?" The article shows how the algebraic identity "(a +…

Dealing with Big Numbers: Representation and Understanding of Magnitudes outside of Human Experience
Resnick, Ilyse; Newcombe, Nora S.; Shipley, Thomas F. – Cognitive Science, 2017
Being able to estimate quantity is important in everyday life and for success in the STEM disciplines. However, people have difficulty reasoning about magnitudes outside of human perception (e.g., nanoseconds, geologic time). This study examines patterns of estimation errors across temporal and spatial magnitudes at large scales. We evaluated the…

Samsudin, Khairulanuar; Rafi, Ahmad; Hanif, Abd Samad – Educational Technology & Society, 2011
This paper reports the findings from an experimental study based on the pretest posttest research design that studied mental rotation (MR) and spatial visualization (SV) training outcomes and their impact on orthographic drawing performance. The sample of the study comprised 98 secondary school students (36 girls, 62 boys, Mage = 15.5 years, age…

Liben, Lynn S.; Kastens, Kim A.; Christensen, Adam E. – Cognition and Instruction, 2011
To study the role of spatial concepts in science learning, 125 college students with high, medium, or low scores on a horizontality (water-level) spatial task were given information about geological strike and dip using existing educational materials. Participants mapped an outcrop's strike and dip, a rod's orientation, pointed to a distant…
