Due to COVID-19 pandemic, educational departments such schools, colleges, and universities have been experiencing significant disruptions. All teaching and learning activities of face-to-face learning have switched to online learning. This study provides a systemic review of the literature with the aim to investigate the effectiveness, challenges,…

In this paper, a teaching path on non-Euclidean geometry focused on the Poincare-disk model, and its connection with art is shown. We consider as artistic contents the Escher's hyperbolic art and some paradoxes on Magriue's work. The mathematical aspects are illustrated thanks to a Dynamic Geometry System (GeoGebra) implemented with a laboratory…

This study focuses on how the combined use of graphic calculators with connectivity software promotes the social construction of mathematical knowledge. Particular emphasis is placed on the aspects related to design, development, implementation, and evaluation of didactic activities that integrate these technologies. We use Didactical Engineering…

This paper reflects on the design of tasks that could take profit from the new features for Automated Reasoning, recently available in the dynamic geometry program GeoGebra. We report on some ongoing experiment, involving initial mathematics teacher students, aiming to develop and evaluate the characteristics of tasks that, with the concurrence of…

Teacher preparation programs face the continual challenge to provide experiences that foster collaboration between teacher candidates and go beyond the boundaries of particular programs and classrooms. Collaborative learning structures improve learner achievement, attitudes, engagement, satisfaction, and retention rates when interactions between…

The author looks at how apps, when carefully chosen and integrated into learning situations, can engage students in the learning experience. This article looks at how a teacher uses an app to assist his Year 2 class to learn about, and apply chance language, in a meaningful way.

As BIM (Building information modeling) comprehensive advantages in the field of engineering, it develops rapidly in the international building industry including China. In the face of new technology and new methods of innovation, architecture teaching also needs to adjust. BIM as new design tool is very necessary. But how to perfectly combine BIM…

Purpose: PowerPoint presentations have changed representations of knowledge. They represent a social transformation process of communication which is also reflected in social-studies classrooms. Thus, it is important to examine not only how students hold presentations but also to explore the construction of knowledge through presentations: What…

Course: Online or mediated communication courses. Objectives: The purpose of this activity is to provide students with a more engaging way of immersing themselves in the course material through an interactive "Easter egg" syllabus. An Easter egg is an "undocumented function hidden in software … [they are] secret 'goodies' … used in…

Background and Context: Flipped classrooms are becoming more widely adopted across engineering higher education contexts. In degree programs where enrollment is increasing and undergraduate curricula are packed with content, pedagogies that allow more time for actively participate in classroom activities are being highly sought after to aid in…

This study examines the effectiveness of the TPSACK courseware which was developed with artistic skills practice to discover the Technological, Pedagogical and Content Knowledge components in the design of the courseware. The courseware was developed based on Dick and Carey Instructional Design Model (2009) to address instruction as an entire…

The paper reports on the concept, implementation and findings of qualitative research focused on an electronic portfolio. The research aimed to explore the use of an electronic portfolio in the learning process of lower-secondary school pupils in the Czech Republic concerning their career choice. The primary research question was defined as…

The Fatih Project in Turkey has improved software in mathematics teaching such as data analysis software. As a result, the need to inquire into the efficiency of computer-supported learning environments has emerged. This study aims to examine the effect of dynamic data analysis software-supported learning environments on secondary school students'…

With an increasing need for teaching discipline-specific language to second language (L2) learners, language instructors are tasked with a challenging objective to target the vocabulary that is necessary for students to understand and produce discipline-specific discourse. To meet this objective, language corpora and corpus software have been used…

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the behavioral intentions of Turkish English as a foreign language (EFL) pre-service teachers to use a cloud application in their future classes. Preliminary data were collected from 22 senior EFL pre-service teachers via a questionnaire, semi-structured interviews, and an observation form. Before…
