Marios Ioannou – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2024
This qualitative study aims to investigate novice undergraduate mathematics students' first encounter with the First Isomorphism Theorem, which is, more often than not, the pinnacle of a typical introductory course in Group Theory. Several studies have reported on the challenges that this mathematical result poses to inexperienced mathematicians,…

Lae Lae Shwe; Sureena Matayong; Suntorn Witosurapot – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) are an important evaluation technique for both examinations and learning activities. However, the manual creation of questions is time-consuming and challenging for teachers. Hence, there is a notable demand for an Automatic Question Generation (AQG) system. Several systems have been created for this aim, but the…

Andrés Christiansen; Rianne Janssen – Educational Assessment, Evaluation and Accountability, 2024
In international large-scale assessments, students may not be compelled to answer every test item: a student can decide to skip a seemingly difficult item or may drop out before the end of the test is reached. The way these missing responses are treated will affect the estimation of the item difficulty and student ability, and ultimately affect…

Andi Harpeni Dewantara; Edi Istiyono; Heri Retnawati; Slamet Suyanto – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2024
The issue of students' difficulties in solving context-based mathematics problems has been extensively investigated by numerous studies. However, limited study focus on how pre-service primary school teacher (PSPSTs) encounter difficulties in solving context-based fundamental mathematics problems. To fill this gap, this study aims to investigate…

Yasemin Kahyaoglu Erdogmus; Adile Askim Kurt – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
This study investigated pedagogical agent (with/without) and feedback (explanatory/confirmatory) types on achievement, flow experience, and cognitive load in a digital game-based learning environment. We developed a game about spreadsheets and prepared four versions of the game in the context of pedagogical agent and feedback types. Through the…

Ulises García-Teutli; José Antonio Juárez-López – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2024
Although student covariation reasoning has been explored in depth to improve understanding of the correspondence between variables, research has focused on studying existing reasoning about variables in Cartesian representations. The working method had a qualitative approach, with a descriptive exploratory scope, the spontaneous representations…

Xin Lin; Sarah R. Powell – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2024
Developing mathematics proficiency requires an understanding of mathematics vocabulary. Although previous research has developed several measures of mathematics vocabulary at different grade levels, no study focused solely on fraction vocabularies. We developed and tested a measure of fraction vocabulary for students in Grade 4 to determine the…

Almabrok Musa Almdahem – International Journal of Computer Science Education in Schools, 2024
A national curriculum for the study of computing became compulsory in English secondary schools in September 2014, replacing the study of information and communications technology with computer science (CS). This posed difficulties for teachers and students who did not have knowledge or experience of programming. This study was designed to…

Basel El Khodary; Marwan Diab; Guido Veronese – SAGE Open, 2024
The present cross-sectional study sought to explore the role of social support and self-esteem in alleviating the Covid-19 burdens among university students in a context characterized by political instability and conflict, such as the one of the Gaza Strip. Three hundred and fifteen university students in the Gaza Strip, 230 (73%) boys and 85…

Yi Ding; Qian Wang; Ru-De Liu; Jolene Trimm; Jiayi Wang; Shu Feng; Wei Hong; Xian-Tong Yang – SAGE Open, 2024
The paper examined the relations among problem solving, automaticity, and working memory load (WML) by changing the difficulty level of task characteristics through two applications. In Study 1, involving 68 engineering students, a 2 (automaticity) x 2 (WML) design was utilized for arithmetic problems. In Study 2, involving 76 engineering…

Suwita Suwita; Sulistyo Saputro; Sajidan Sajidan; Sutarno Sutarno – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2024
The current study uses the Rasch Model to measure lower-secondary school students' critical thinking skills on photosynthesis topics. Critical thinking skills are considered essential in science education, but few valid and practical measurement instruments remain. The current study fills the gap by adapting the instrument from the Watson-Glaser…

Seok-Hyun Ga; Changmi Park; Hyun-Jung Cha; Chan-Jong Kim – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2024
Data collection is crucial in securing evidence to support students' arguments during scientific inquiries. However, due to the high costs associated with equipping schools with various measurement devices, students are limited in the scope of their scientific inquiry. Arduino can be proposed as a solution to the lack of measurement devices in…

Sakon Tangkawsakul; Weerawat Thaikam; Songchai Ugsonkid – Journal of Education and Learning, 2024
Real-world mathematical problem (RWMP) solving and posing are important aspects of teaching and learning mathematical modelling, as well as developing a mathematization disposition for both teachers and students. Several researchers have explored blockages or difficulties in such modelling processes and in problem posing. However, prior research…

Ella Shalit; Dror Dotan – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2024
Reading numbers aloud, a central aspect of numerical literacy, is a challenging skill to acquire, but the origins of this difficulty remain poorly understood. To investigate this matter, we examined the performance of 127 third- and fourth-grade children who read aloud, in Hebrew, numbers with 2-5 digits. We found several key observations. First,…

John C. Griffith; Emily K. Faulconer – Online Journal of Distance Learning Administration, 2024
Today's undergraduate students often must balance coursework with other personal and professional commitments. While much attention has been placed on effective strategies for helping students manage workload, curriculum optimization has been largely overlooked. In an analysis of a university lower-level online STEM course, a course redesign…
