Learning practices in education are constantly evolving to provide high-quality education. One of the trends used to provide high-quality education is incorporating technological tools to teach and learn STEM concepts. Implementing physical manipulative tools and virtual manipulative tools in STEM classrooms positively influenced conceptual…

This case study aims to describe the learning characteristics of a child and evaluate his preferences for using physical manipulatives (PM) and virtual manipulatives (VM) to solve fraction problems. The participant in this study was a fourth-grade child. The child was given similar problems to solve using PM and VM. Data sources were observations…

Peer reviewedMonroe, Christin B.; Stein, Andrew; Tolman, Cynthia – Journal of Science Education for Students with Disabilities, 2022
It is essential for introductory level chemistry students to understand atomic models and how atoms interact to form chemical bonds. The tactile model in this article utilizes marbles to represent subatomic particles, a cup to represent the nucleus and wooden rings to simulate the electron orbitals. These inexpensive items can be combined to…

Heather Shannon Fish – ProQuest LLC, 2022
This study sought to compare the effectiveness of teaching with manipulatives versus algorithms and procedures. Assessment data were collected before instruction, after instruction with algorithms and procedures, and after instruction with modeling and manipulatives. Data were collected from 113 students from the 5th, 6th, and 7th grades within…

McCulloch, Allison W.; Lovett, Jennifer N.; Dick, Lara K.; Cayton, Charity – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2021
When thinking about digital equity, often what comes to mind are issues of access to digital technologies. Although that is a divide that must be conquered, once students have access to digital technologies, the next step is to ensure that they wield these technologies in such ways that they help to address the existing inequities in mathematics…

Moyo, Methuseli; Machaba, France M. – Pythagoras, 2021
Our research with Grade 9 learners at a school in Soweto was conducted to explore learners' understanding of fundamental fraction concepts used in applications required at that level of schooling. The study was based on the theory of constructivism in a bid to understand whether learners' transition from whole numbers to rational numbers enabled…

Guenther, Courtney; Hayes, Matthew; Davis, Andrew; Stern, Matthew – Bioscene: Journal of College Biology Teaching, 2021
3D printing is a widely used technology in a number of STEM fields and can be incorporated into undergraduate education in order to engage students in active learning. Using the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework, this study examined student perceptions of completing 3D printing of a physical model in two different…

Rich, Kathryn M. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2021
This paper reviews 10 years of research on virtual manipulatives (VMs) in K-5 mathematics education with a focus on moving beyond generalized conclusions that VMs can support learning to better understanding how and when they support learning. Synthesis of fifteen articles that met the inclusion criteria revealed researchers are beginning to…

Akuom, Denish; Greenstein, Steven – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2021
Positioning teachers as designers of curricular resources invites opportunities for exploration at the intersection of content, pedagogy, and design. As researchers accepting greater responsibility for preparing teachers to maintain a commitment to their pedagogical vision in practice, this work seeks to cultivate the imagination of humanistic…

Craig E. Shepherd; Shannon M. Smith; Cassandra Kvenild; Alan Buss; Claire Ratcliffe – International Journal of Designs for Learning, 2021
University faculty members, librarians, and support staff developed hands-on, consumable, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) curricular materials that could be inexpensively provided to large audiences. Goals included fostering STEM interest, teaching STEM principles, and encouraging continued exploration in home and school…

Angeline S. Lillard – Grantee Submission, 2021
Montessori education was developed over 100 years ago, and persists as a marginal 'niche reform' of the standard model. Here I discuss two unresolved dichotomies in early childhood education -- the tension between work and play, and between structure and freedom. I explain how Montessori collapses and thereby resolves the dichotomies, and does so…

Nadav Aridan; Michal Bernstein-Eliav; Dana Gamzo; Maya Schmeidler; Niv Tik; Ido Tavor – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2024
Anatomy studies are an essential part of medical training. The study of neuroanatomy in particular presents students with a unique challenge of three-dimensional spatial understanding. Virtual Reality (VR) has been suggested to address this challenge, yet the majority of previous reports have implemented computer-generated or imaging-based models…

The main purpose of this research is to determine the effect of the REACT strategy in augmented reality applications on the problem-solving skills of teacher candidates. A parallel mixed method, which converges from mixed research designs, was used in the research. The study group of the research consists of 50 teacher candidates studying at the…

Virtual reality (VR) provides significant opportunities for students to experience immersive education. In VR, students can travel to the international space station, or go through a science experiment at home. However, the current tactile feedback provided by these systems do not feel real. Controllers do not provide the same tactile feedback…

Social learning through friendships is important in child development. Autistic children often initiate and engage in social interactions differently than neurotypical peers. LEGO® based therapy is a group intervention which facilitates social interactions with peers using collaborative LEGO® play. A 1:1 cluster randomised controlled trial with…
