Tang, Kok-Sing – Science Education, 2023
There is a growing research examining the use of visual diagrams in scientific explanations. However, current research in this area is mostly based on case studies involving a few explanations from one or two topics in science. There are few systematic studies that examine more broadly how diagrams are used in relation to scientific explanations…

Waldemar Stepnowski – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2023
The study describes how the common representations are coordinated. I analyzed a popular geometry textbook using semiotics and a pragmatic approach to capture the variety of representations into categories and to use descriptive statistics to narrow the focus to the most common representations and coordinations. The major findings are: (1)…

Stepnowski, Waldemar – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The purpose of the study is to enumerate the representations in high school geometry, to narrow the focus to the most common ones, and to describe how the common representations are coordinated. To achieve this purpose, I analyzed several sections of a popular geometry textbook using thematic analysis, semiotics, and a pragmatic approach to…

Thomas Zapounidis; Marina Mattheoudakis – Journal of Educational Research and Innovation, 2024
This article highlights the need for a new type of corpus that will combine both a learner and a pedagogic corpus. The need for such a type of corpus is underlined by the interaction between input and output and the expected impact of the former on the latter within all instructional settings. Such a corpus will allow us to collect data, including…

Hsiang, Tien Ping; Graham, Steve; Wang, Zhisheng; Gong, Yang – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2021
In language arts programs in the Greater China Region, textbooks are the primary materials used to teach children to read and write. Learning to read and write in Chinese is particularly challenging because elementary grade students are expected to learn, recognize, and write thousands of characters (the basic linguistic unit in Chinese).…

Limerick, Nicholas; Hornberger, Nancy H. – Compare: A Journal of Comparative and International Education, 2021
One of the central paradoxes of textbook authorship in Indigenous languages is that some of those for whom the textbooks are intended find it challenging to read them. Here, through examining cases of Quechua across the Andes in Peru and in Ecuador, we consider the role of orthography in this paradox. Textbook authors must decide on an alphabet…

Canakli, Levent Ali; Alabay, Sercan – Journal of Education and Learning, 2022
French teaching in Ottoman Turkey found its actual speed with the Tanzimat period (the political reforms made in the ottoman state in 1839). Until the proclamation of the Republic, and even until the 1950s, French was considered the leading carrier of Western culture and civilization in Turkey, and teaching French was deemed necessary. However, it…

Ubbes, Valerie A.; Ausherman, Judith A. – Health Educator, 2018
The purpose of this historical project was to compare 19th and 20th century books that originated approximately 165 years apart from collections at Miami University (Oxford, OH) in order to interpret how an early language and vocabulary may have emerged from literacy practices of reading printed books to form an early conception of health…

Alshwaikh, Jehad; Morgan, Candia – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2018
The way in which mathematics is communicated and represented in schools (including the written language, symbols and diagrams of mathematics textbooks and the verbal/spoken classroom interaction itself) constructs particular views of the nature of mathematics and expectations about students' participation in mathematical activity. In a previous…

Kozlova, Maria – History of Education, 2020
This paper examines the content of alphabet books published for Russian-speaking children in Latvia, Estonia and Poland in the 1920s and explains the nexus between socio-cultural context and representation of social environment and children's interactions to explore strategies of adaptation offered to children. The textbooks were quantified using…

Yu, Wen-Chiao; Chang, Peichin – Taiwan Journal of TESOL, 2019
Conceptual beliefs learners hold may influence learning strategies and outcomes of learning. Little research, however, has investigated English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners' views of multimodality presented in the most accessible learning materials, their English textbooks. A total of sixteen 11th graders participated, half from the…

Kim, YouJin; Choi, Bumyong; Kang, Sanghee; Kim, Binna; Yun, Hyunae – Foreign Language Annals, 2020
From a sociocultural perspective, collaborative writing tasks offer opportunities to negotiate in decision-making processes while also sharing responsibility for the production of a single text (Storch, 2013, "Collaborative writing in L2 classrooms." Bristol: Multilingual Matters). Although research has found benefits for such tasks…

Olney, Andrew M. – Grantee Submission, 2021
This paper explores a general approach to paraphrase generation using a pre-trained seq2seq model fine-tuned using a back-translated anatomy and physiology textbook. Human ratings indicate that the paraphrase model generally preserved meaning and grammaticality/fluency: 70% of meaning ratings were above 75, and 40% of paraphrases were considered…

Esposito, John – Reading Matrix: An International Online Journal, 2017
The primary impediment to literacy in Japanese is kanji proficiency. The ostensible reason kanji present such a formidable challenge, especially for the second language learner, is the combined effect of their quantity and complexity. Research into the cognitive processing of logographic characters, however, indicates that the main obstacle to…

Al-wossabi, Sami A. – English Language Teaching, 2014
Recent studies in corpus linguistics have revealed apparent inconsistencies between the prescriptive grammar presented in EFL textbooks and the type of grammar used in the speech of native speakers. Such variations and learning gaps deprive EFL learners of the actual use of English and delay their oral/aural developmental processes. The focus of…
