Haymes, Tom – Current Issues in Education, 2021
The standards of educational information exchange are still firmly rooted in a Newtonian paradigm that emphasizes strict rules of information exchange. With the explosion of information since World War II, and especially its accessibility through the mechanism of the internet, this paradigm has become a barrier to effective exchanges of…

Davidovic, Milena D.; Markovic-Topalovic, Tatjana; Sliško, Josip; Božic, Mirjana – Physics Teacher, 2020
In the same chapter of his book "Opera Geometrica," Torricelli published two discoveries: 1) initial velocity of a jet from a container increases with the square root of the depth of the hole; 2) he drew the pattern of jets from three openings at the wall of a container filled with water to constant level "H" and determined the…

Toscanini, MariaA.; Recoulat Angelini, Alvaro A.; Troncoso, Maria F.; Curto, Lucrecia M. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Understanding the relationship between protein structure and function can be challenging for students. Molecular visualization software aids students in this problem by allowing manipulation of structures from new and deeper perspectives. In this communication, an activity using iMolview Lite, structure visualization software for portable devices,…

Camps, Nuria – Online Submission, 2020
The use of visual metaphors has received growing attention in recent years, but their widespread use is not without certain challenges. The most common critique of visual metaphors in teaching indicates that they can be misleading as the meaning attributed by the recipient can be far apart from the intended one. This can make learning less…

Mezhennaya, Natalia M.; Pugachev, Oleg V. – European Journal of Contemporary Education, 2019
Typical difficulties in learning probabilistic subjects are concerned with big data, complicated formulas and inconvenient figures in statistical analyses. The present research considers the usage of innovative teaching methods (e.g. electronic summary of lectures, presentations of lecture courses, task solution templates, electronic training…

Kidron, Ivy – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2018
In this paper I analyze students' conceptual understanding of the quality of polynomial approximation. In particular, I analyze to what extent the interactive play with various methods of interpolation enables the students to build visual pictures that help understanding the formal mathematical statements. The role of the Mathematica software in…

Zhu, Xiaoming; Sun, Bo; Luo, Yanlin – Interactive Learning Environments, 2018
Now visualization courses have been taught at universities around the world. Keeping students motivated and actively engaged in this course can be a challenging task. In this paper we introduce our developed interactive learning system called VisMis (Visualization and Multi-modal Interaction System) for postgraduate scientific visualization course…

González, Gloriana; Eli, Jennifer A. – Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education, 2017
Launching a problem is critical in a problem-based lesson. We investigated teachers' perspectives on the use of a problem that was analogous to the one provided during a launch. Our goal was to identify teachers' underlying assumptions regarding what should constitute a launch as elements of the "practical rationality of mathematics…

Thomas, Val – British Journal of Guidance & Counselling, 2014
The disciplines of counselling and psychotherapy have generated a range of innovative qualitative research methods. There is the potential for further developments, particularly in relation to methods that reveal how the researcher is implicated in the research. Practitioner-researchers could help to identify potential new methods through a…

Twissell, Adrian – Educational Technology & Society, 2014
This literature review explores visualisation within the context of learning in design, engineering and technology education. The investigation first defines visualisation, providing examples of activities that utilise visualisation skills within an applied field. Then exploration of the mental mechanisms of visualisation used to engage with those…

Chamorro-Koc, Marianella; Scott, Andrew; Coombs, Gretchen – Design and Technology Education, 2015
In design studio, sketching or visual thinking is part of processes that assist students to achieve final design solutions. At Queensland University of Technology's (QUT's) First and Third Year industrial design studio classes we engage in a variety of teaching pedagogies from which we identify "Concept Bombs" as instrumental in the…

Chang Rundgren, Shu-Nu; Yao, Bao-Jun – Asia-Pacific Forum on Science Learning and Teaching, 2014
Based on the importance and widely use of visualization in science, this article has a three-fold aim related to the terms of visualization, representation and model that in recent years have been introduced to the field of science education without clear differentiation. Firstly, the three terms are discussed with examples to provide a common…

Fogarty, Ian; Geelan, David; Mukherjee, Michelle – Teaching Science, 2012
Five Canadian high school Chemistry classes in one school, taught by three different teachers, studied the concepts of dynamic chemical equilibria and Le Chatelier's Principle. Some students received traditional teacher-led explanations of the concept first and used an interactive scientific visualisation second, while others worked with the…

Goodwin, Geoffrey P.; Johnson-Laird, P. N. – Cognitive Psychology, 2011
Negation, conjunction, and disjunction are major building blocks in the formation of concepts. This article presents a new model-based theory of these Boolean components. It predicts that individuals simplify the models of instances of concepts. Evidence corroborates the theory and challenges alternative accounts, such as those based on minimal…

Geelan, David; Mukherjee, Michelle; Martin, Brian – Teaching Science, 2012
A quantitative, quasi-experimental study of the effectiveness of computer-based scientific visualizations for concept learning on the part of Year 11 physics students (n = 80) was conducted in six Queensland high school classrooms. Students' gender and academic ability were also considered as factors in relation to the effectiveness of teaching…
