Özdemir, Emine; Övez, Filiz Tuba Dikkartin – Journal of Education and Training Studies, 2017
The cognitive development of prospective teacher needs to be taken into estimate so that proofs are presented in forms that are potentially meaningful for them. This requires educators and mathematicians to rethink consider the use of types of proof related to the logical thinking improvement of the singular. The purpose of the study is to…

Peixoto, José Maria; Mamede, Sílvia; de Faria, Rosa Malena Delbone; Moura, Alexandre Sampaio; Santos, Silvana Maria Elói; Schmidt, Henk G. – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2017
Self-explanation while diagnosing clinical cases fosters medical students' diagnostic performance. In previous studies on self-explanation, students were free to self-explain any aspect of the case, and mostly clinical knowledge was used. Elaboration on knowledge of pathophysiological mechanisms of diseases has been largely unexplored in studies…

Richard, Melissa; Coley, John D.; Tanner, Kimberly D. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2017
Natural selection is a central concept throughout biology; however, it is a process frequently misunderstood. Bacterial resistance to antibiotic medications provides a contextual example of the relevance of evolutionary theory and is also commonly misunderstood. While research has shed light on student misconceptions of natural selection, minimal…

Doerr, Helen M.; Delmas, Robert; Makar, Katie – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2017
Teaching from an informal statistical inference perspective can address the challenge of teaching statistics in a coherent way. We argue that activities that promote model-based reasoning address two additional challenges: providing a coherent sequence of topics and promoting the application of knowledge to novel situations. We take a models and…

Panorkou, Nicole – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2017
In this exploratory study, our goal was to engage students in dynamic experiences of area as a continuous quantity that can be measured by multiplicatively composing two linear measures (lengths), an approach we refer to as 'dynamic measurement,' or DYME. In this paper, we present the learning trajectory constructed from two cycles of teaching…
