Jessica Fernanda Silva Barbosa; Geiser Chalco Challco; Ig Ibert Bittencourt – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Gender-stereotypical design, such as the predominance of blue colors in interfaces, leaderboards with only men at the top, and male avatars, may have negative effects on women in gamified tutoring systems, especially in courses with a majority of male participation, such as courses of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). We…

A Spreadsheet-Based Visualized Mindtool for Improving Students' Learning Performance in Identifying Relationships between Numerical Variables
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lai, Chiu-Lin; Hwang, Gwo-Jen – Interactive Learning Environments, 2015
In this study, a spreadsheet-based visualized Mindtool was developed for improving students' learning performance when finding relationships between numerical variables by engaging them in reasoning and decision-making activities. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, an experiment was conducted on the "phenomena of climate…
