This study investigates the embodied, symbolic, and formal reasoning of two fourth-year university students while exploring geometric reasoning about the Cauchy-Riemann equations with the aid of "Geometer's Sketchpad (GSP)." These students participated in a teaching activity designed to encourage shifts between embodied, symbolic, and…

Background/purpose: This study aims to improve students' mathematical critical-numeracy thinking skills by applying the Problem-Based Learning-Autograph model. Materials/methods: This study used a mixed method with a sequential explanatory strategy, and the research design is a one-group pretest-posttest design. The population included students…

This paper discusses the "Just Keep Solving" apps that are designed based on deliberate practice model for developing mathematical skills. Features of deliberate practice include well-defined goals involving areas of weakness as determined by a knowledgeable other such as a teacher. The integration of game design features provides a…

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of GeoGebra software on pre-service teachers' mathematical connection skills. The participants of the study comprised 22 pre-service mathematics teachers. A mathematical connection self-efficacy scale and an open-ended questionnaire regarding mathematical connection skills were used as data…

Students' skills in expressing mathematical ideas in various ways have not met the expectation. Teachers need to apply the learning providing students' opportunities to present their mathematical ideas. Utilizing the Brain-Based Learning (BBL) approach with Autograph can help students develop their mathematical communication skills. The purpose of…

In this study, the stages of creating a dynamic map in Microsoft Excel with the rapid prototyping instructional design model developed by Tripp and Bichelmeyer are explained to support and improve students' global awareness in social studies lessons in Turkey. The dynamic map was created in four general stages in the study, in which the waterfall…

When the author first started teaching twenty years ago, he thought that as long as he was using dynamic geometry software (DGS) for students to "discover" conjectures instead of them learning the conjectures from a lecture or the textbook, he was maximizing their learning potential because they were using technology. Over the years, he…

This paper reflects on the design of tasks that could take profit from the new features for Automated Reasoning, recently available in the dynamic geometry program GeoGebra. We report on some ongoing experiment, involving initial mathematics teacher students, aiming to develop and evaluate the characteristics of tasks that, with the concurrence of…

We describe a statistical seminar designed to provide a common foundation in core statistical concepts among all students as they enter a social work PhD program. Student feedback surveys assessed students' statistics preparation prior to entering the program, and pre- and posttests were compared for increases in statistical knowledge. Nearly half…

The use of digital tools in mathematics lessons has recently gained in significance, especially because of ongoing technical developments. Particularly in the context of mathematical modelling, digital tools have become more and more important. They have been deployed for many years and are currently being intensively discussed from a didactical…

Software programs such as Tinkerplots ® or Geometer's Sketchpad ® can help students solve problems in mathematics classes, but may not be available to them after high school. In contrast, many students who become familiar with Internet tools and programs in office packages (word processing, spreadsheets, etc.) may use them daily to enhance their…

This report summarises the research activities and findings from the TLRI-funded project entitled "Visualising Chance: Learning Probability Through Modelling." This exploratory study was a 2-year collaboration among two researchers, two conceptual software developers/interactive graphics experts, three university lecturers/practitioners,…

Researchers found that student-centered, technology-integrated learning environments help to produce students who are better able to think critically, solve problems, collaborate with others, and engage deeply in the learning process. Understanding the impact of technology and finding the best ways to integrate technology into the classroom is…

In this study, the development of comprehension of essential and nonessential aspects of counting is examined in children ranging from 5 to 8 years of age. Essential aspects, such as logical rules, and nonessential aspects, including conventional rules, were studied. To address this, we created a computer program in which children watched counting…

Dyslexia is one of the most common learning difficulties affecting approximately 15 to 20 per cent of the world's population. A large amount of research is currently being conducted in exploring the potential benefits of using Information & Communication Technologies as a learning platform for individuals and especially children with such…
