Trygve Solstad; Eivind Kaspersen; Magnus Eggen – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2025
How to influence and assess whether students engage in conceptual thinking are longstanding methodological problems in mathematics education. Recently, eye-tracking technology has fueled a discussion on whether eye movement analysis can support valid inferences about mathematical thinking. This study investigates whether eye movement analysis can…

Giovanna Valori; Belén Giacomone; Veronica Albanese; Natividad Adamuz-Povedano – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
The combined use of origami and dynamic geometry software has recently appeared in mathematics education to enrich students' geometric thinking. The objective of this research is to study the roles played by the interaction of two artifacts, paper folding and GeoGebra, in a construction-proving problem as well as its generalization in the…

Giovanna Valori; Veronica Albanese; Natividad Adamuz-Povedano; Emilse Gómez-Torres – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2024
Finding teaching methods that foster students' development of geometric thinking and visualization skills is still a current challenge. This study analyses the effects of the combined use of paper folding and dynamic geometry on high school students' geometric thinking and visualization skills. A quasi-experimental study pretest/post-test design…

Kapici, Hasan Özgür – International Journal of Research in Education and Science, 2023
Being able to move between different representations levels (macroscopic, submicroscopic, and symbolic) is important to understand a chemical phenomenon meaningfully. The current study investigated how pre-service science teachers moved from symbolic representation to sub-microscopic representation. A total of 205 pre-service science teachers,…

Ezgi Özlav; Mustafa Akinci – Journal of Pedagogical Research, 2024
In this study on concepts of geometry, the gestures and mimics used by the mathematics teachers working in school for the deaf to define some mathematical concepts with the sign language were investigated. The research employed the structured interview technique, a qualitative research method. Data were collected through interviews and video…

Avcu, Seher; Biber, Belma Türker – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
In this study, the conceptualizations used by prospective middle school mathematics teachers when defining, representing, and exemplifying the slope concept and relating it with other mathematical situations were examined. Participants' conceptualizations were identified by Nagle, C., Moore-Russo, D., Viglietti, J., & Martin, K. [(2013).…

Hamidah; Jaka Wijaya Kusuma; Sigit Auliana – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2024
The low knowledge and love of students for culture, plus based on preliminary analysis, it is known that geometry skills are relatively low. The a need for harmony between student and teacher learning styles to maximize student engagement and focus in the classroom. So this study aims to create a culture-based Geometry learning design that…

Uwurukundo, Marie Sagesse; Maniraho, Jean François; Tusiime Rwibasira, Michael – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
We implemented GeoGebra software in Rwandan secondary schools to check its effectiveness during teaching and learning geometry concepts. The quasi-experimental design was used, and four schools were purposefully selected. Two schools were from Northern Province, while the other two were selected from Kigali city. A geometry-based test composed of…

Caro, Diana García; García, Carlos Valenzuela; Sanz, María T.; González, María S. García – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2022
This paper describes the conceptions about complex numbers that a group of university students has, these were built from the application of an activity sequence centered on these numbers. This sequence is based on the APOS theory, some aspects of semiotic representation theory, and the use of digital technology. Particularly, both the general…
