Access to early intensive behavioral intervention for children with autism spectrum disorder is commonly recommended. Intervention programs may include high rates of instructional trials, which may evoke escape-maintained problem behavior. Recent research on "pairing" or "rapport-building" interventions have sought to reduce…

This study questions the dominant approach in the presentation of the concept of slope in undergraduate education through mathematics textbooks. For this purpose, five mathematics textbooks, were analyzed for problems related to slope, and similarities and differences were revealed. First, the subjects related to the slope in the textbooks were…

Redundancy in assessment adds unnecessary time to degree completion, which also increases the cost of tuition. In addition, assessment practices that are overly burdensome for faculty can also place too much of a financial burden on an institution and, ultimately, the students. Therefore, competency-based education (CBE) institutions are wise to…

Very often, university students deliberately form self-organized study groups, e.g. to study collaboratively for an upcoming exam. Yet, very little is known about what regulation problems such self-organized study groups encounter during their learning process and how they try to cope with these problems. Therefore, this study investigates how…

In this explorative study, we investigate how sequences of behaviour are related to success or failure in complex problem-solving (CPS). To this end, we analysed log data from two different tasks of the problem-solving assessment of the Programme for International Student Assessment 2012 study (n = 30,098 students). We first coded every…

This study aimed to examine the inversion skills of preschool children. Within the framework of the main objective of this study, the differentiation of children's inversion skills was analyzed according to various variables (age, gender, school type, mother's and father's education level). The study group consisted of a total of 80 children (40…

The study aimed to develop a valid and reliable scale to measure the expectations of students from the discipline program implemented in their schools. The study was conducted with students studying in seven different high schools in fall semester of 2019-2020 school year. As a result of the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), a 5-point Likert…

This study proposes "task of teaching" as an organizer of dimensionality in teachers' subject matter knowledge for teaching (SMK) and investigates it in the context of measuring SMK for teaching high school geometry (SMK-G). We hypothesize that teachers use different SMK-G in different aspects of their teaching work and that such…

This study explores student teachers' views regarding problem solving in mathematics classrooms. The participants in the study were Bachelor of Education students registered for their second year of teaching practice (at a distance institution) who were asked about their experiences of teaching a mandatory mathematics problem-solving lesson while…

This qualitative descriptive study explored the value of games as pedagogical tools to teach team working and foster collaborative learning in a higher education classroom. Groups of three or four students (n = 181) were asked to participate in a simple low-tech serious game which required them to solve a puzzle. The puzzle simulated 'good'…

Factors affecting the quality of education can be observed from students' problem-solving abilities and academic learning achievements. This research aims to examine a direct relationship between students' problem-solving abilities and academic learning achievement by using a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education at a…

To have insight into cognitive load (CL) during online complex problem solving, this study aimed at measuring CL through physiological data. This study experimentally manipulated intrinsic and extraneous load of exercises in the domain of statistics, resulting in four conditions: high complex with hints, low complex with hints, high complex…

We have the ability to capture data from students' interactions with digital environments as they engage in learning activity. This provides the potential for a reimagining of assessment to one in which assessment become part of our natural education activity and can be used to support learning. These new data allow us to more closely examine the…

Reflective thinking, problem solving and probabilistic thinking are important processes in mathematics education and considered to what extent those processes can be carried out by elementary school students is essential. The study is conducted with 188 eighth grade students. As a result, no significant difference is observed in reflective…

Maximizing classroom time to include meaningful content-based learning with fun engaging activities that simultaneously challenge and encourage students is a hallmark of a successful school day. This article shares one instructional approach that does a model eliciting activity (MEA). A MEA is a real-world, problem-based scenario framed around a…
