Bintoro, Henry Suryo; Sukestiyarno, Y. L.; Mulyono; Walid – European Journal of Educational Research, 2021
Spatial thinking has roles to facilitate learners to remember, understand, reason, and communicate objects and the connections among objects that are represented in space. This research aims to analyze the spatial thinking process of students in constructing new knowledge seen from the field-independent cognitive style learners based on…

Singer, Florence Mihaela; Voica, Cristian; Pelczer, Ildikó – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2017
While a wide range of approaches and tools have been used to study children's creativity in school contexts, less emphasis has been placed on revealing students' creativity at university level. The present paper is focused on defining a tool that provides information about mathematical creativity of prospective mathematics teachers in…

Weckbacher, Lisa Marie; Okamoto, Yukari – Journal of Education and Learning, 2018
There is a consensus that certain cognitive abilities and mathematics performance are related. This link also extends to geometry. Surprisingly, however, little research has examined specific aspects of cognition that may contribute to successful performance in geometry, particularly at the secondary level. In this study, we explored in what ways,…

Habre, Samer – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2017
Covariational reasoning has been the focus of many studies but only a few looked into this reasoning in the polar coordinate system. In fact, research on student's familiarity with polar coordinates and graphing in the polar coordinate system is scarce. This paper examines the challenges that students face when plotting polar curves using the…

Su, Chung-Ho – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2017
Since recommendation systems possess the advantage of adaptive recommendation, they have gradually been applied to e-learning systems to recommend subsequent learning content for learners. However, problems exist in current learning recommender systems available to students in that they are often general learning content and unable to offer…
