Matthew Mauntel; Michelle Zandieh – International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education, 2024
In this article we analyze how students reason about linear combinations across multiple digital environments. We present the work of three groups of undergraduate students in the Southeast United States (US) who were considered ready to take linear algebra. The students played the game "Vector Unknown," reflected upon aspects of their…

Coleman, Philip; Hosein, Anesa – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
Laboratory tasks often focus on mechanical procedures leaving limited time and opportunities for students to build conceptual knowledge. We investigate to what extent introducing simulation tasks to preparation work can enable students to build their conceptual knowledge. We surveyed two cohorts of students taking an electronics module. Laboratory…
