Ali Bicer; Scott A. Chamberlin; Karla Matute; Traci Jackson; Geoff Krall – Research in Mathematics Education, 2024
The purpose of this study was to quantify the relationship between pre-service teachers' spatial visualisation skills and their mathematical creativity through problem-posing tasks. A group of 62 pre-service teachers completed the Purdue Spatial Visualisation test and took the mathematical creativity test through problem-posing tasks. Pearson's…

Seah, Rebecca; Horne, Marj – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2022
Building from the evidence-based learning progression in geometric reasoning from the RMFII project, this paper presents data from students' solutions to three problems in geometry and measurement situations to identify key components needed to nurture reasoning. To show emerging analytical reasoning students must coordinate multiple pieces of…

Morano, Stephanie; Riccomini, Paul J. – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2020
The present study examines the features and quality of visual representations (VRs) created by middle school students with learning disabilities and difficulties in mathematics in response to a released fraction item from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). Relations between VR quality and scores on other measures of fraction…

Chongo, Samri; Osman, Kamisah; Nayan, Nazrul Anuar – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2021
Computational thinking (CT) is one of the systematic tools in problem solving and widely accepted as an important skill in the 21st century. This study aimed to identify the effectiveness of the Chemistry Computational Thinking (CT-CHEM) Module on achievement in chemistry. This study also employed a quasi-experimental design with the participation…

Saito, Tomohiro; Watanobe, Yutaka – International Journal of Distance Education Technologies, 2020
Programming education has recently received increased attention due to growing demand for programming and information technology skills. However, a lack of teaching materials and human resources presents a major challenge to meeting this demand. One way to compensate for a shortage of trained teachers is to use machine learning techniques to…

Guo, Jiajun; Lin, Shengjie; Guo, Yawei – Creativity Research Journal, 2018
The purpose of this study was to examine the influences of sibling constellation (sex and birth order) on creativity in the context of China's one-child policy (OCP) and Confucian culture (e.g., preference for male offspring). Participants were recruited from a public university in east China and were asked to complete 2 divergent thinking tests,…

Zazkis, Dov – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2013
This article argues for a shift in how researchers discuss and examine students' uses of representations during their calculus problem solving. An extension of Zazkis, Dubinsky, and Dautermann's (1996) Visualization/Analysis-framework to include physical modes of reasoning is proposed. An example that details how transitions between visual,…

Kurtulus, Aytac; Yolcu, Belma – Mathematics Educator, 2013
The aim of this study is to evaluate sixth-grade Turkish students' spatial visualization ability and to determine the strategies that students employ and the mistakes that they make while solving the problems requiring spatial reasoning. Therefore, the study examined the following achievements: visualizing different view images of…
