Jyotirmoy Sarkar; Mamunur Rashid – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2024
A single discrete random variable is depicted by a stick diagram, a 2D picture. Naturally, to visualize a bivariate discrete distribution, one can use a bivariate stick diagram, a 3D picture. Unfortunately, many students have difficulty understanding and processing 3D pictures. Therefore, we construct an alternative 2D disc plot to depict the…

S. Bahar Sener; Ariel Starr – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2025
Although we cannot see or touch time, across many cultures, we use spatial representations to think about this abstract concept. Spatial representations of time are thought to support temporal concepts that might otherwise be difficult to represent and reason about, such as the temporal component of episodic memory. One common form of spatially…

Roudhotul Fitria; Rio Sebastian – Anatolian Journal of Education, 2024
Representation plays an important role in helping students understand chemistry learning. This is due to the many chemical concepts that require visualization. Representation is something that still needs to be studied. So this study aims to see the development of representation research in chemistry education. The articles used in this study are…

A. Watson; B. M. Kennedy; J. Davidson; E. Brogt; A. Jolley – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2024
Geological skills such as interpreting outcrops are often taught during fieldwork. However, recent advancements in digital technologies and the demand for more inclusive and accessible learning has provided an opportunity to teach these skills in virtual field trips (VFT). The Iceland VFT was developed to teach students about volcanic features and…

Ramazan Erol; Elif Saygi – Journal of Theoretical Educational Science, 2024
The aim of this study is to examine the concept images of mathematics educators and pre-service elementary mathematics teachers regarding the relationships between the concepts of slope, rate of change and derivative. Four mathematics educators working in different state universities and responsible for Analysis courses, three pre-service…

Linda Espey; Marta Ghio; Christian Bellebaum; Laura Bechtold – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
We used a novel linguistic training paradigm to investigate the experience-dependent acquisition, representation, and processing of novel emotional and neutral abstract concepts. Participants engaged in mental imagery (n = 32) or lexico-semantic rephrasing (n = 34) of linguistic material during five training sessions and successfully learned the…

Yi-Chun Chen – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2024
This study examined the impact of spatial ability on science achievement by distinguishing between domain-general and domain-specific spatial abilities, focusing on their relationship with the conceptual understanding of the apparent path of the sun. Additionally, the mediating effects of domain-specific spatial knowledge on the relationships…

Jina Chang; Joonhyeong Park; Kok-Sing Tang; David F. Treagust; Mihye Won – Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2024
Background: To support collaborative drawing, it is essential to investigate how students make collaborative drawings and how these contribute to elaborating their ideas. This study examines how 5th and 6th grade students' group drawings contributed to increased levels of explanations of their drawings about sound transmission. Methods: We…

Giovanna Valori; Veronica Albanese; Natividad Adamuz-Povedano; Emilse Gómez-Torres – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2024
Finding teaching methods that foster students' development of geometric thinking and visualization skills is still a current challenge. This study analyses the effects of the combined use of paper folding and dynamic geometry on high school students' geometric thinking and visualization skills. A quasi-experimental study pretest/post-test design…

Zahra Firdaus; Siti Zubaidah; M. Munzil – Journal of Biological Education Indonesia (Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi Indonesia), 2024
The biological concept has a broad scope and requires the visualisation of bioprocesses to provide complex understanding. Learning media can help visualise bioprocesses to enhance students' cognitive abilities. The study aimed to develop, test the practicality, and test the effectiveness of video animation in improving grade XI high school…

Javier Rodriguez-Falces – Advances in Physiology Education, 2024
A central topic in Bioelectricity is the generation of the extracellular potential that results from the propagation of a transmembrane action potential along the muscle fiber. However, the way in which the extracellular potential is determined by the propagating action potential is difficult to describe, conceptualize, and visualize. Moreover,…

Fungirai Mudhefi; Koena Mabotja; Dimakatjo Muthelo – Perspectives in Education, 2024
The 21st-century mathematics classrooms should equip learners with well-grounded knowledge and thinking skills pertaining to geometry. However, Euclidean geometry remains one of the challenging, if not the most difficult topic for many learners. As a result, the purpose of this article is to interpret Grade 12 learners' learning difficulties in…
