Gutiérrez, Kris D. – Cognition and Instruction, 2020
Considering the special issue on learning-on-the move in light of earlier work on learning as movement, this commentary reflects on how the articles in the special issue expand the field's theoretical matrix of the sociohistorical, cognitive, sociopolitical, sociocultural, relational, and spatial. Taken together, they tease out new subject-object,…

Canassa, T. A.; Freitas, W. P. S.; Ferreira, J. V. B.; Goncalves, A. M. B. – Physics Education, 2020
We propose an experimental analogy to verify Kepler's second law using a spherical pendulum. We made a movie of a closed elliptical orbit of the pendulum and extracted the data position using the Tracker software. Analyzing the data, we measured the areas that the position vector sweeps showing the validity of Kepler's second law.

Priyanto, Aan; Yusmantoro; Aji, Mahardika Prasetya – Physics Teacher, 2020
When we travel in a train moving at a certain velocity, we observe the stationary objects outside are moving backwards. These stationary objects seem to move due to a relative velocity. Consider that the stationary object outside the train is a man standing on the stationary floor watching a woman moving on a train. The woman on a train will see…

Tecwyn, Emma C.; Bechlivanidis, Christos; Lagnado, David A.; Hoerl, Christoph; Lorimer, Sara; Blakey, Emma; McCormack, Teresa; Buehner, Marc J. – Developmental Psychology, 2020
Although it has long been known that time is a cue to causation, recent work with adults has demonstrated that causality can also influence the experience of time. In "causal reordering" (Bechlivanidis & Lagnado, 2013, 2016) adults tend to report the causally consistent order of events rather than the correct temporal order. However,…

Pastore, M. Torben; Pulling, Kathryn R.; Chen, Chen; Yost, William A.; Dorman, Michael F. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: For bilaterally implanted patients, the automatic gain control (AGC) in both left and right cochlear implant (CI) processors is usually neither linked nor synchronized. At high AGC compression ratios, this lack of coordination between the two processors can distort interaural level differences, the only useful interaural difference cue…

Papakonstantinou, Margarita; Skoumios, Michael – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2021
According to the Next Generation Science Standards, science instructional materials can be efficient as long as they integrate three dimensions: science and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts and disciplinary core ideas. However, research investigating the integration of these three dimensions in the content of school science textbooks…

Vali Noghondar, Narges; Sohrabi, Mehdi; Taheri, Hamid Reza; Kobravi, Hamid Reza; Khodashenas, Ezzat – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2021
Objective: It is unclear whether slowness and higher reaction time of individuals with Down syndrome (DS) are because of inability to pre-program and using the generalized motor program (GMP) or not. So, the purpose of this study was to examine the consistency of relative timing as a fixed feature of a GMP in overhand throwing with changing the…

Kopcha, Theodore J.; Ocak, Ceren; Qian, Yingxiao – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2021
The purpose of this paper is twofold. We first present a methodological framework for the analysis of embodied interaction with technology captured through video recording. The framework brings together a social semiotic approach to multimodality with the philosophical and theoretical roots of embodied cognition. We then demonstrate the…

Rivera-Figueroa, Antonio; Lima-Zempoalteca, Isaías – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
In differential equations textbooks, the motion of a simple pendulum for small-amplitude oscillations is analyzed. This is due to the impossibility of expressing, in terms of simple elementary functions, the solutions of the nonlinear differential equation (NLDE) that models the pendulum, which is why the authors usually choose the linearized…

Cross, Rod – Physics Education, 2021
A solid ball placed on a rotating turntable is known to roll slowly around a circular path, at a speed 3.5 times slower than the turnable itself. If the ball is located in a straight track across a diameter of the turntable, then it accelerates rapidly to the edge. Both effects were filmed in slow motion using a video camera and a cake decoration…

Gauld, Colin; Cross, Rod – Physics Education, 2021
Newton's cradle is often discussed in science classrooms as a clear example of the laws of conservation of momentum and energy although it has been shown that this use is somewhat misleading. Approaches to understanding the behaviour of this apparatus are often over-simplified and deficient or over-complex and with little impact among teachers. In…

van Alphen, Helena J. M.; Waninge, Aly; Minnaert, Alexander E. M. G.; Post, Wendy J.; van der Putten, Annette A. J. – Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2021
Background: Valid measures to assess either small or assisted performed movements of people with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD) are required. We analysed the construct validity of the Actiwatch-2 to assess movement in people with PIMD. Method: Twenty-two persons with PIMD were video recorded while wearing an Actiwatch-2. We…

Dimmel, Justin; Pandiscio, Eric; Bock, Camden – Digital Experiences in Mathematics Education, 2021
In this article, we examine spatial inscriptions marked in real or rendered spaces, rather than on two-dimensional surfaces, conceptualize spatial inscriptions from an inclusive materialist perspective and consider realizations of spatial inscriptions that are possible with emerging technologies (e.g. 3D pens, immersive virtual reality). We then…

Padyala, Radhakrishnamurty – Physics Teacher, 2019
Fernández-Chapou and colleagues analyzed projectile trajectories and showed an elliptic property hidden in them. For that analysis, they considered projectiles shot from a point with a common value of speed and different angles of projection. Such projectile paths exhibit some interesting characteristics. For example, pairs of projectiles with…

Wannous, Jarier; Horváth, Peter – Physics Teacher, 2019
A power supply is needed to maintain the function of a computer, heat is needed to keep food from cooling down, and a force is needed to maintain motion. Those are notions that seem very natural to many people as they are based on everyday experiences. However, when it comes to motion, it is not force that maintains motion but momentum. Students…
