Roman Chvátal; Jana Slezáková; Stanislav Popelka – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
In the realm of mathematics education, geometry problems assume a pivotal role by fostering abstract thinking, establishing a connection between theory and practice, and offering a tangible portrayal of reality. This study focuses on comprehending problem-solving methodologies by observing the eye movements of 45 primary and multi-year grammar…

Ismail Özgür Zembat; Sümeyye Gürhan – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2023
This article provides an analysis of a data set coming from a two-phase qualitative study that focused on fostering primary students' abstraction of interrelations among quadrilaterals (squares, rectangles, parallelograms, rhombuses, trapezoids). The pilot study consisted of work with eight primary students operating at van Hiele level 2 (e.g.,…

Hamidah; Jaka Wijaya Kusuma; Sigit Auliana – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2024
The low knowledge and love of students for culture, plus based on preliminary analysis, it is known that geometry skills are relatively low. The a need for harmony between student and teacher learning styles to maximize student engagement and focus in the classroom. So this study aims to create a culture-based Geometry learning design that…

Del Zozzo, Agnese; Santi, George – Digital Experiences in Mathematics Education, 2023
We present a theoretical study that allows us to attempt framing in an embodied perspective the effectiveness of the drawing robot GGBot in the learning of geometry. The aim of the article is to set the intertwining of activity, semiotics, perception, and knowledge at the crossover of Radford's theory of objectification (TO) and Borba and…

Caviedes, Sofía; de Gamboa, Genaro; Badillo, Edelmira – Journal on Mathematics Education, 2023
Studies that address preservice teachers' knowledge of area measurement emphasize their lack of knowledge and their tendency towards the use of formulas, without offering a body of knowledge that helps to address such difficulties. This study offers an approximation of the mathematical knowledge necessary for preservice teachers to solve area…

Simsek, Irfan; Uygun, Tugba; Güner, Pinar – International Online Journal of Education and Teaching, 2020
The purpose of the present study was to propose a model for mathematics achievement considering the mediating role of eye tracking measurements in the relationship between problem solving performance and mathematics achievement. In this sequential explanatory mixed method research design, a geometry test was conducted to 381 7th grade students.…

Wajeeh Daher – Journal of Beliefs & Values, 2021
School textbooks affect the different aspects of students' learning. One way that textbooks can affect students' learning is through the values embedded in the texts. In the present research, we intend to study values in elementary school mathematics textbook. Specifically, we study values in the Geometry and Measurement unit of the Palestinian…

Fastame, Maria Chiara – School Psychology International, 2021
The relationships between visuo-spatial abilities and geometry performances in school-aged children were examined. A battery of tests assessing non-verbal reasoning, visuo-spatial mental imagery, and academic achievement in geometry (i.e., geometric knowledge and geometric problem-solving competencies) was presented to 162 8-9.5-year-old pupils…

Pittalis, Marios; Pitta-Pantazi, Demetra; Christou, Constantinos – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2020
A theoretical model describing young students' (Grades 1-3) functional-thinking modes was formulated and validated empirically (n = 345), hypothesizing that young students' functional-thinking modes consist of recursive patterning, covariational thinking, correspondence-particular, and correspondence-general factors. Data analysis suggested that…

Ibili, Emin; Billinghurst, Mark – International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2019
In this study, the relationship between the usability of a mobile Augmented Reality (AR) tutorial system and cognitive load was examined. In this context, the relationship between perceived usefulness, the perceived ease of use, and the perceived natural interaction factors and intrinsic, extraneous, germane cognitive load were investigated. In…

Özçakir, Bilal; Özdemir, Duygu; Kiymaz, Yasemin – International Journal of Contemporary Educational Research, 2020
Gifted students have potential to improve countries and this potential can be revealed and developed in schools where they spend most of their times with other regular students. However, these classrooms have some limitations for them; hence, they need some differentiated activities. Usage of dynamic geometry in mathematics lessons could be an…
