Karina Nuñez-Gutierrez; Camilo Andrés Rodríguez-Nieto; Lisseth Correa-Sandoval; Vicenç Font Moll – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2025
The variational thinking of high school students based on mathematical connections was analyzed through a laboratory on linear functions. This qualitative research based on design was developed in three phases: diagnostic test, implementation of the mathematics laboratory and final test, with students from a public institution in Barranquilla,…

Tekkumru-Kisa, Miray; Akcil-Okan, Ozlem; Kisa, Zahid; Southerland, Sherry – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2023
Recent instructional reforms in science education aim to change the way students engage in learning in the discipline, as they describe that students are to engage with disciplinary core ideas, crosscutting concepts, and the practices of science to make sense of phenomena (NRC, 2012). For such sensemaking to become a reality, there is a need to…

Ulises García-Teutli; José Antonio Juárez-López – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2024
Although student covariation reasoning has been explored in depth to improve understanding of the correspondence between variables, research has focused on studying existing reasoning about variables in Cartesian representations. The working method had a qualitative approach, with a descriptive exploratory scope, the spontaneous representations…

Mary Jane Brundage; David E. Meltzer; Chandralekha Singh – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
We use the Survey of Thermodynamic Processes and First and Second Laws-Long, a research-based survey instrument with 78 items at the level of introductory physics, to investigate introductory and advanced students' difficulties with internal energy, work, and heat transfer. We present analysis of data from 12 different introductory and advanced…

Kwon, Kyungbin; Cheon, Jongpil; Moon, Hyunchang – Education and Information Technologies, 2021
As computational thinking (CT) gains more attention in K-16 education, problem-solving has been more emphasized as a core competency that can be found across various domains. To develop an evaluation framework that reveals students' problem-solving competency, this study examined solutions for the Bebras Computing Challenge which requires students…

Constantine Kapetanakis; Samantha Conflitti; Sarah Abdo; L. Kate Wright; Dina L. Newman – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
Analogies are used to make abstract topics meaningful and more easily comprehensible to learners. Incorporating simple analogies into STEM classrooms is a fairly common practice, but the analogies are typically generated and explained by the instructor for the learners. We hypothesize that challenging learners to create complex, extended analogies…

Shabrina, Preya; Mostafavi, Behrooz; Tithi, Sutapa Dey; Chi, Min; Barnes, Tiffany – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2023
Problem decomposition into sub-problems or subgoals and recomposition of the solutions to the subgoals into one complete solution is a common strategy to reduce difficulties in structured problem solving. In this study, we use a datadriven graph-mining-based method to decompose historical student solutions of logic-proof problems into Chunks. We…

Chih-Hung Chen; Hsiang-Yu Chung – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2024
Computational thinking (CT) has gained considerable attention and in-depth discussion over the last two decades. Although the significance of CT has been highlighted, it could be challenging for educators to teach CT. Fortunately, adopting robots in education has been evidenced to be of benefit to promoting students' learning motivation, CT, and…

Freeburn, Ben; Leatham, Keith R.; Graff, Sini; Kamlue, Nitchada; Stockero, Shari L.; Peterson, Blake E.; Van Zoest, Laura R. – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2022
The more researchers understand the subtleties of teaching practices that productively use student thinking, the better we can support teachers to develop these teaching practices. In this paper, we report the results of an exploration into how secondary mathematics teachers' use of public records appeared to support or inhibit their efforts to…

Koen R. Wessels; Cok Bakker; Arjen E. J. Wals; George Lengkeek – Pedagogy, Culture and Society, 2024
Confronted by myriad interconnected societal challenges, this paper asks: what kind of pedagogy does justice to the experience and challenge of living in a complex world? Departing from a critical reading of a preparative-logic to education, this paper emphasises students' entangledness: more-or-less consciously, students are uniquely shaped-by…

Kumari, Aradhana – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2021
After teaching last 10 years and analyzing student work, I realize that in developmental and Elementary Algebra courses there is a disconnection between the students conceptual understanding in context in contrast to their procedural fluency. In some cases, students can perform the procedure, but do not understand when the procedure is valid. In…

Nathan Ruhl – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2024
Helping students to understand complex processes is one of the core challenges in teaching biology courses. Concept mapping is a flexible pedagogical method that enables students to learn the complexities of a given subject while at the same time being versatile enough that instructors can easily pivot between instructional modalities and/or…
