Koc-Januchta, Marta M.; Höffler, Tim N.; Eckhardt, Marc; Leutner, Detlev – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2019
The study presented in this paper aimed to examine the effect of visual and verbal cognitive style on learning from different types of visualization and modalities of explanatory text. Learning materials in the form of either computer-based animation or a series of static pictures with written or spoken explanations were presented to 197 students.…

Su, Jun; Wang, Weiguo; Wang, Xu; Song, Feng – Physics Teacher, 2019
Gravitational lensing is an interesting phenomenon in astronomy and is most typically given rise to by galaxies. The majority of the matter in a galaxy is thought to be dark matter, and the galactic gravitational lensing effect is mainly caused by dark matter halos. In gravitational lensing-related demonstrations in physics education, the feet of…

Williams, Thomas O., Jr.; Ernst, Jeremy V.; Kelly, Daniel P.; Clark, Aaron C. – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2019
The Purdue Spatial Visualization Test: Visualization of Rotations (PSVT: R) is a widely used assessment of spatial ability. In this report, the factor structure of the PSVT: R test items was examined through confirmatory factor analysis with data from 541 engineering design graphics students. Stata 15 and Mplus 8.2 statistical software were used…

Ràfols, Ismael – Research Evaluation, 2019
The use of indicators in research policy and evaluation is widely perceived as problematic. Responding to demands for explicit normative framings in STI governance, I propose an agenda for transforming the place and role of indicators in policy. Given that expert advice should not separate knowledge formation from decision-making under conditions…

Trumble, Jason; Dailey, Debbie – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2019
Spatial visualization and mental rotations skills are considered a strong predictor of success in STEM fields (Wai, Lubinski, & Benbow, 2009). This study analyzed the malleability and amount of change in fourth through sixth grade students using the Revised PSVT:R. Participants engaged in a STEM camp driven by maker pedagogy and focused on the…

Smolík, Filip – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: The study examined the effects of imageability and phonological neighborhood density on the acquisition of word production in Czech, controlling for part-of-speech class, word length, and word frequency. Phonological neighborhood density is of interest because previous research has not examined highly inflected languages such as Czech.…

Breen, Sinéad; O'Shea, Ann – PRIMUS, 2019
Research has shown that the types of tasks assigned to students affect their learning. Various authors have described desirable features of mathematical tasks or of the activity they initiate. Others have suggested task taxonomies that might be used in classifying mathematical tasks. Drawing on this literature, we propose a set of task types that…

Cutting, Chelsea – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2019
There is a large body of research that suggests a sound understanding of rational number is vital for success in all areas of mathematics, at school and beyond. In the Australian Curriculum, fractions are formally introduced from Year 1, yet there is evidence to suggest that current approaches are not leading to deep understanding in later years.…

Moon, Kyunghee – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2019
This study investigated preservice secondary mathematics teachers' difficulties with and understanding of graphs of two-variable inequalities with the lens of the APOS theory. The analysis showed that most teachers understood inequality graphs as actions, at best, and used informal rules to construct graphs. They also had difficulty justifying…

Spero, Susan – Journal of Museum Education, 2017
"Creating the Visitor-Centered Museum" offers insight into why and how 10 case study museums have transformed to serve the needs of their public. Susan Spero interviews authors Peter Samis and Mimi Michaelson about the purpose of the book, their case study choices, the key characteristics of visitor-centered institutions and their…

Cromarty, Edward – ProQuest LLC, 2017
This study utilizes an educational historical narrative research method to understand the unique viewpoint of Lowenfeld toward visualization as a holistic concept in progressive art education. Employing a social constructivist framework, it explores the problem that the emphasis in education on the surface elements of standardized subject-based…

Gordon, Sheldon P.; Gordon, Florence S. – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2018
This article illustrates ways that dynamic software using some sophisticated techniques in Excel can be used to demonstrate fundamental ideas related to regression and correlation analysis to increase student understanding of the concepts and methods in elementary statistics courses and in courses at the college algebra/precalculus level that…

Özkan, Ayten; Arikan, Elif Esra; Özkan, Erdogan Mehmet – Universal Journal of Educational Research, 2018
Visualization is an effective method for students to internalize concepts and to establish correlations between concepts. Visualization method is especially more important in mathematics which is perceived as the combination of abstract concepts. In this study, whether 6th grade students can solve questions about "Fractions" by using…

Osman, Sharifah; Yang, Che Nurul Azieana Che; Abu, Mohd Salleh; Ismail, Norulhuda; Jambari, Hanifah; Kumar, Jeya Amantha – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2018
Previous studies revealed that many students cannot perform well when it comes to word problem-solving questions. There are various problem-solving strategies that can be applied to help students to overcome the problem. Visualisation techniques in learning have been used to help students enhance their conceptual understanding of the mathematical…

Branch, Robert Maribe; Mané, C. Erika; Shin, Min Young – Journal of Visual Literacy, 2018
This study replicated a study conducted by Branch, Rezabek and Cochenour (1998) who contended that perception and interpretation can be influenced by the type of graphic elements used to compose a diagram. Because instructional design conditions resemble complex situations that require learning development systems sufficient to address the…
