The notion of function is central in all of the secondary curriculum, and indeed functional models appear in almost all higher education that is based on mathematics. However, in secondary education, functions usually appear in restricted and somewhat sterile forms. In this (mostly theoretical) paper, we present a proposal -- exemplified by a…

Background/purpose: Globalization and the advancement of communication technology have increased diversity and complexity, including in education. Diversity is currently in classrooms. This situation adds a need for multicultural competence. Materials/methods: This research explains the creation of new products through learning models to develop…

The forging and maintenance of alumni relations is critical to the sustainability of Higher Music Education Institutions worldwide. In contrast to university-based career mentoring programmes, research about the role of alumni in conservatoire students' professional development is scarce. Alumni profiles are often used to support conservatoires'…

"Applications" of knowledge symbolically and structurally "codify" thinking, often displacing the human who is relegated to passive, routine reproduction of operations and left with no space or time to understand or question the relations underlying the processes. This is both mirrored and augmented by the schematic narrowing…

This academic article aims to present the principles of systematic design and development of educational innovations through research methodology, alongside protocols for effectiveness evaluation. The design and development of contemporary educational innovation require integration between principles of innovation and technology implementation,…

Mathematical modeling tasks can engage students in ways in which they see themselves as mathematicians capable of using mathematics to solve real-world and complex problems. As mathematics teacher educators and researchers, the authors collaborated with two 5th-grade teachers, Liz and Anna (pseudonyms), focusing on equitable practices that foster…

This study proposes a model of several dimensions through which products of teachers' context-based mathematics problem posing (PP) can be modified. The dimensions are Correctness, Authenticity, Task Assortment (consisting of Mathematical Diversity, Multiple Data Representations, Question-Answer Format, Precision-Approximation, and…

The importance of introducing students to mechanistic reasoning (MR) early in their schooling is emphasised in research. The goal of this case study was to contribute with knowledge on how early primary students' (9-10 year-olds) MR in chemistry is expressed and developed in a classroom practice framed by model-based inquiry. The study focuses on…

Introduction: Psycholinguistics presents a challenge to teaching and learning because of the many abstract models in the field. Language-related games provide a vehicle for students to ground and demonstrate their understanding of these models. Statement of the problem: Models in psycholinguistics are challenging to teach and learn because they…

This article introduces a collection of four datasets, similar to Anscombe's quartet, that aim to highlight the challenges involved when estimating causal effects. Each of the four datasets is generated based on a distinct causal mechanism: the first involves a collider, the second involves a confounder, the third involves a mediator, and the…

The concept of models-based practice has arguably provided the field of sport pedagogy with the means, lens, and tools with which to start to transform the discipline into a more desirable, equitable, and purposeful space. Despite this, there remains a need to experiment with this concept further in non-traditional ways and to continue to…

Infographics are visual storytelling techniques used to communicate complex information. However, infographics can be misleading if they are not created ethically. When universities teach how to create infographics, they often do so without emphasizing the ethical issues underlying infographics. To address this gap, we designed a study to educate…

Background: Over the last two decades, teachers' use of models has been frequently highlighted as a possible future for physical education. Literature has also shown that collaborations between teachers and researchers can be effective in supporting teachers not only to successfully implement but also sustain their long-term use of models Despite…

Conventional e-learning platforms require a high self-regulatory learning (SRL) ability to ensure learning effectiveness. However, because not everyone has high autonomy and a high SRL ability, many students quit during the online learning period. To enhance the SRL ability, many studies have developed e-learning platforms based on Zimmerman's SRL…

Abstraction in business processes (BP) modeling arises from the recognition of similarities to the detriment of its differences. However, teaching modeling to beginning students in the context of process management is a hard task to perform, given the high level of abstraction required for these students to develop. This paper uses BP fragments to…
