Arilín Haro; Mario Sánchez Aguilar – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
This literature review covers 42 years and has two main objectives: to identify the obstacles to learning the polar coordinate system and to explore the teaching proposals suggested to overcome them. These questions are answered by locating and analysing articles related to the topic published in research and practitioner journals specialising in…

Gabriel Gianni Cantanelli; Barbara A. Shipman – PRIMUS, 2024
Through galleries of graphs and short filmstrips, this paper aims to sharpen students' eyes for visually recognizing continuous functions. It seeks to develop intuition for what visual features of a graph continuity does and does not allow for. We have found that even students who can work correctly with rigorous definitions may not be able to…

Željka Milin Šipuš; Alejandro S. González-Martín; Matija Bašic – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications, 2025
The study reported in this paper is motivated by an article published on a financial portal that presented loan repayments with a continuous approach, as opposed to the discrete approach of addressing loan repayments applied in mathematics courses for economists. Using the Anthropological Theory of the Didactic, we analyse the current didactic…

Kimberley L. M. Zonneveld; Alison D. Cox; Madeline M. Asaro; Kieva S. Hranchuk; Arezu Alami; Laura D. Kelly; Jan C. Frijters – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2024
Visual inspection of single-subject data is the primary method for behavior analysts to interpret the effect of an independent variable on a dependent variable; however, there is no consensus on the most suitable method for teaching graph construction for single-subject designs. We systematically replicated and extended Tyner and Fienup (2015)…

Joshua Weidlich; Ben Hicks; Hendrik Drachsler – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2024
Researchers tasked with understanding the effects of educational technology innovations face the challenge of providing evidence of causality. Given the complexities of studying learning in authentic contexts interwoven with technological affordances, conducting tightly-controlled randomized experiments is not always feasible nor desirable. Today,…

Daniel A. Mak; Sebastian Dunn; David Coombes; Carlo R. Carere; Jane R. Allison; Volker Nock; André O. Hudson; Renwick C. J. Dobson – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
Enzymes are nature's catalysts, mediating chemical processes in living systems. The study of enzyme function and mechanism includes defining the maximum catalytic rate and affinity for substrate/s (among other factors), referred to as enzyme kinetics. Enzyme kinetics is a staple of biochemistry curricula and other disciplines, from molecular and…

Giulia Polverini; Bor Gregorcic – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
The well-known artificial intelligence-based chatbot ChatGPT-4 has become able to process image data as input in October 2023. We investigated its performance on the test of understanding graphs in kinematics to inform the physics education community of the current potential of using ChatGPT in the education process, particularly on tasks that…

Anika Dreher; Ting-Ying Wang; Paul Feltes; Feng-Jui Hsieh; Anke Lindmeier – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2024
The teacher's use of representations is a crucial aspect of instructional quality in mathematics education, given their pivotal role in facilitating mathematics learning. However, in our international research community, perspectives on what constitutes high-quality use of representations may vary. This cross-cultural study aims to explore whether…

Bryan C. Tyner; Steven D. Floumanhaft; Ramon Marin; Daniel M. Fienup – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2024
Little research has examined specific instructional variables that influence the development and effectiveness of task-analysis instruction. We conducted two experiments using text-based task analyses to teach college students to create single-subject reversal design graphs. In Experiment 1, we tested the effects of presenting antecedent and…

Hussein Sabra; Theresia Tabchi – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2024
This contribution explores the teaching of graph theory in the context of engineering education. We examine how teachers use collectively designed resources in terms of their backgrounds. After a literature review, we justify the choice to develop an analytical framework for studying the materials in terms of connections to be established in the…

Dae S. Hong; Jae Ki Lee – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
This study examined college calculus instructors' preferences in solving two calculus tasks to examine college calculus instructors' use of important cognitive roots in understanding derivatives of function. Our results showed that only one instructor consistently uses cognitive roots while other instructors either focus on algebraic methods or…

Liza Bondurant; Stephanie Somersille – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2024
This article describes an activity and resource from The New York Times that can be used to help learners cultivate critical statistical literacy. Critical statistical literacy involves understanding, interpreting, and questioning statistical information to make informed decisions (Casey et al., 2023; Franklin et al., 2015; Weiland, 2017). It is a…
