The authors of this study conducted an exploratory study of the teaching and learning processes of a tutor and a student with a mild intellectual disability (MID) while working on two-step equations. The researchers focused on situations in which the participant was likely to struggle with memory and processing as well as the challenges of the…

Current reforms in geometry seek to challenge prevailing ideas about "what it means to do mathematics" (p. 139) by engaging learners in "the grasping of space" (p. 241). This study takes up this challenge by investigating problematizing activity as an embodied phenomenon among 21 eighth-grade learners who engaged with spatial…

Whilst the issue of how to best educate sports coaches in the UK persists there is, however, a consensus that the use of informal learning helps foster deeper engagement with the process of reflection. This consensus outlines how the cycles of experience, consideration of practice, and subsequent future action can challenge existing coach…

The Turkish education program has a great importance in terms of increasing the quality of education and training process and determining and developing the cognitive skills of students.

To understand the excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling of cardiomyocytes, including the electrophysiological mechanism of their characteristically long action potential duration, is one of the major learning goals in medical physiology. However, the integrative interpretation of the responses occurring during the contraction-relaxation cycle is…

Stories are one of the primary ways in which humans communicate and interact with one another--even in an office. Like any organization, the registrar's office relies on stories. Stories from inside the office are vehicles for culture, knowledge, context, data, information, and the emotion implicit in the work being done. Stories from outside the…

Decades of research have documented young students' misinterpretations of the equal sign and the impediments these present for children's mathematical development. Much less is known about individual differences in adults' knowledge of the equal sign. We assessed 182 college students from developmental math courses and present analyses from a…

This research is made in order to find whether the empathy levels of female school of physical education and sports students' effect on problem solving skills by detecting their empathy and problem solving skills and by exhibiting whether the empathy and problem solving skills differ from according to demographic characteristics. In the research,…

Recently a teacher friend enquired about the S-I-R equations for disease spread, and what follows was stimulated by that exchange. COVID-19 provides an opportunity to put mathematical flesh on verbal bones such as "self-isolation", "lockdown", "herd immunity", "flattening the curve", "closed…

Environmental learning in the 21st century requires a high level of thinking ability, especially to solve environmental problems related to the COVID-19 pandemic. This was to develop a new level of thinking, namely Higher Order Thinking Skills of Environmental Problem (HOTSEP) which is a revision of Anderson's Taxonomy. The purpose of this study…

The aim of this study is to determine the non-routine problem solving performances of mathematics teacher candidates. A descriptive survey model was used for this work and it was conducted with 50 teacher candidates studying elementary mathematics teaching in a medium-sized university in Turkey. To determine the non-routine problem solving…

Central in the frameworks that describe algebra from K-12 is the idea that algebraic thinking is not a single construct, but consists of several algebraic thinking strands. Validation studies exploring this idea are relatively scarce. This study used structural equation modeling techniques to analyze data of middle school students' performance on…
