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…

Tang, Kok-Sing; Park, Joonhyeong; Chang, Jina – Research in Science Education, 2022
This paper argues that meaning-making with multimodal representations in science learning is always contextualized within a genre and, conversely, what constitutes an ongoing genre also depends on a multimodal coordination of speech, gesture, diagrams, symbols, and material objects. In social semiotics, a genre is a culturally evolved way of doing…

Cartwright, Katherin; Bobis, Janette; Way, Jennifer – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2021
In sharing solutions of mathematical tasks, students may use various modes of representation such as: language (oral/written), numerical and symbolic, or drawings (pictures, diagrams or markings). In this paper we explore the potential of student drawings to provide evidence of mathematical fluency. Examples of young students' (5-8 years old)…
