Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Ergül, N. Remziye – Universal Journal of Educational Research, 2018
Data and graphic analysis and interpretation are important parts of science process skills and science curriculum. So it refers to visual display of data using relevant graphical representations. One of the tools used in science courses is graphics for explain the relationship among each of the concepts and therefore it is important to know data…

Students' Challenges with Polar Functions: Covariational Reasoning and Plotting in the Polar Coordinate System
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
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…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Santoso, Harry B.; Lawanto, Oenardi; Becker, Kurt; Fang, Ning; Reeve, Edward M. – Journal of Pre-College Engineering Education Research, 2014
The purpose of this research was to investigate high school students' computer self-efficacy (CSE) and learning behavior in a self-regulated learning (SRL) framework while utilizing an interactive learning module. The researcher hypothesizes that CSE is reflected on cognitive actions and metacognitive strategies while the students are engaged with…

Visual, Algebraic and Mixed Strategies in Visually Presented Linear Programming Problems.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Shama, Gilli; Dreyfus, Tommy – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1994
Identified and classified solution strategies of (n=49) 10th-grade students who were presented with linear programming problems in a predominantly visual setting in the form of a computerized game. Visual strategies were developed more frequently than either algebraic or mixed strategies. Appendix includes questionnaires. (Contains 11 references.)…
