Duli Pllana – Online Submission, 2024
The aim of the exploratory method research centered on the presence of mathematical tools in STEM through three main questions: Is mathematics an essential tool in the field of STEM? Can mathematics complete projects solely with mathematical and digital tools? Does understanding mathematical modeling affect STEM teaching? A better understanding of…

Redish, Edward F. – Physics Teacher, 2021
Learning to create, use, and evaluate models is a central element of becoming a scientist. In physics, we often begin an analysis of a complicated system with highly simplified or toy models. In introductory physics classes, we tend to use them without comment or motivation. Some students infer that physics is irrelevant to their understanding of…

Pulley, Melissa; Rodriguez, Leoncio; Lewis, Matthew; Kohler, Brynja; Gordillo, Luis – PRIMUS, 2022
Inspired by the approach first employed by C.S. Holling in his classic "disc experiment," this article provides a sequence of learning activities that increase students' understanding of the mechanisms behind saturating effects in predator-prey scenarios. The proposed lesson is recommended for inclusion in courses that address…

David Gammack – Journal of Teaching and Learning with Technology, 2015
In this article we discuss the possible uses of NetLogo as an educational tool for High School and early-years undergraduate students. The paper is geared towards teachers from all disciplines who require students to problem solve, be quantitative and logical but want a project orientated platform to build or reinforce knowledge. The tools and…
