Bibi, Aisha; Zamri, Sharifah Norul Akmar Syed; Abedalaziz, Nabeel Abdallah Mohammad; Ahmad, Mushtaq; Dad, Hukam – Malaysian Online Journal of Educational Sciences, 2018
In this study, role of context familiarity in students' differential equations (DEs) solving was explored at pre-university level. An assessment test containing three self-developed DEs tasks were distributed among 430 students, studying in intercolleges. Collected responses were analyzed using a scoring rubric containing three main stages…

Wang, Jennifer; Werner-Avidon, Maia; Newton, Lisa; Randol, Scott; Smith, Brooke; Walker, Gretchen – Journal of Pre-College Engineering Education Research, 2013
The Lawrence Hall of Science, a science center, seeks to replicate real-world engineering at the "Ingenuity in Action" exhibit, which consists of three open-ended challenges. These problems encourage children to engage in engineering design processes and problem-solving techniques through tinkering. We observed and interviewed 112…
