Karina Nuñez-Gutierrez; Camilo Andrés Rodríguez-Nieto; Lisseth Correa-Sandoval; Vicenç Font Moll – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2025
The variational thinking of high school students based on mathematical connections was analyzed through a laboratory on linear functions. This qualitative research based on design was developed in three phases: diagnostic test, implementation of the mathematics laboratory and final test, with students from a public institution in Barranquilla,…

Passarella, Simone – Research in Mathematics Education, 2022
This paper reports on a teaching experiment on mathematical modelling in an upper secondary school class that investigates how the constructs of "model eliciting" and "emergent modelling" may be brought together to inform teaching and learning. A prominent role is covered by the process of task design, seen as a complex process…

Brady, Corey E.; Borromeo Ferri, Rita; Lesh, Richard A. – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2022
Mathematical modeling is a challenging and creative process. If one considers only interim or final solutions to modeling problems or interviews modelers afterward, often only their "explicit" models are accessible -- those expressed in work products or evinced in verbal and written reflections. The inner world of tacit knowledge and its…

Hutchins, Nicole M.; Biswas, Gautam; Maróti, Miklós; Lédeczi, Ákos; Grover, Shuchi; Wolf, Rachel; Blair, Kristen Pilner; Chin, Doris; Conlin, Luke; Basu, Satabdi; McElhaney, Kevin – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2020
Synergistic learning combining computational thinking (CT) and STEM has proven to be an effective method for advancing learning and understanding in a number of STEM domains and simultaneously helping students develop important CT concepts and practices. We adopt a design-based approach to develop, evaluate, and refine our Collaborative,…

Hastuti, Intan Dwi; Nusantara, Toto; Subanji; Susanto, Hery – Educational Research and Reviews, 2016
This study aims to describe the constructive metacognitive activity shift of eleventh graders in solving a mathematical problem. Subjects in this study were 10 students in grade 11 of SMAN 1 Malang. They were divided into 4 groups. Three types of metacognitive activity undertaken by students when completing mathematical problem are awareness,…

Star, Jon R.; Foegen, Anne; Larson, Matthew R.; McCallum, William G.; Porath, Jane; Zbiek, Rose Mary; Caronongan, Pia; Furgeson, Joshua,; Keating, Betsy; Lyskawa, Julia – What Works Clearinghouse, 2015
Mastering algebra is important for future math and postsecondary success. Educators will find practical recommendations for how to improve algebra instruction in the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) practice guide, "Teaching Strategies for Improving Algebra Knowledge in Middle and High School Students". The methods and examples included in…

Sacristan, Ana Isabel; Noss, Richard – International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning, 2008
In this paper, we describe a design experiment aimed at helping students to explore and develop concepts of infinite processes and objects. Our approach is based on the design and development of a computational microworld, which afforded students the means to construct a range of representational models (symbolic, visual and numeric) of…

Dahl, Bettina – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2004
The focus is on the metacognitive awareness of ten high-achieving high school pupils in mathematics in Denmark and England and their understanding of their cognitive learning processes and strategies. Mainly unstructured focus group interviews investigate how they explain that they learn a mathematical concept that is new to them. I develop the…
