Rich, Kathryn M. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2021
This paper reviews 10 years of research on virtual manipulatives (VMs) in K-5 mathematics education with a focus on moving beyond generalized conclusions that VMs can support learning to better understanding how and when they support learning. Synthesis of fifteen articles that met the inclusion criteria revealed researchers are beginning to…

Ozdemir, Ertugrul; Ustun, Ulas – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2021
Virtual experiments are beneficial and effective learning activities providing the opportunity to investigate the relationship between the experimental findings and the theories. There exist several advantages of using virtual experiments, including, among other things: 7/24 availability, opportunity of unlimited iterations, and working with an…

Jita, Thuthukile – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2021
The ability to use modern technologies, and particularly the integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) into subject teaching, has become one of the fundamental graduate attributes for many teacher education (TE) programmes as they prepare future teachers for the 4th industrial revolution (4IR). Research suggests, however,…

Margulieux, Lauren; Yadav, Aman – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2021
We explored how preservice teachers in a middle school science methods course learned and applied computational thinking (CT) concepts and activities during a month-long intervention. In the intervention, preservice teachers learned about CT concepts through an hour-long lecture in their methods class, practiced a computing-integration activity…
