Ramos Marroquin, Alexandra; Sommer Henao, Karen; Sandoval Albarracín, Javier; Parra, Carlos; Carrillo-Ramos, Angela; Arenas, Juan Jesus; Brijaldo, Mónica; Curiel H., Mariela J.; Pavlich-Mariscal, Jaime A.; Gómez-Morantes, Juan E.; Sabogal, Martha – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2021
Geometry teaching in elementary schools in Colombia is a challenging task. Students' problems with this topic have led to below-average performances in the Program of International Student Assessment. To face this challenge, this paper presents Akasha, a personalized software application to reinforce geometry teaching to elementary school children…

Paneque, Juan J.; Cobo, Pedro; Fortuny, Josep M. – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2017
This ethnographical study aims to interpret how an intelligent tutorial system, geogebraTUTOR, mediates to the student's argumentative processes. Data consisted of four geometrical problems proposed to a group of four students aged 16-17. Qualitative analysis of two selected cases led to the identification of the development of argumentative…

Kuzle, Ana – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2017
Students regularly struggle with mathematical tasks, particularly those concerning non-routine problems in geometry. Although educators would like for their learners to transfer their knowledge to non-routine and real-life situations, students run into a number of difficulties. The goal of this exploratory study was to analyze three participants'…

Fahlgren, Maria; Brunström, Mats – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2014
The increasing availability of new technologies in schools provides new possibilities for the integration of technology in mathematics education. However, research has shown that there is a need for new kinds of task that utilize the affordances provided by new technology. Numerous studies have demonstrated that dynamic geometry environments…

Investigating the Potential of Computer Environments for the Teaching and Learning of Functions: A Double Analysis from Two Research Traditions
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lagrange, Jean-Baptiste; Psycharis, Giorgos – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2014
The general goal of this paper is to explore the potential of computer environments for the teaching and learning of functions. To address this, different theoretical frameworks and corresponding research traditions are available. In this study, we aim to network different frameworks by following a "double analysis" method to analyse two…

Development Process of a Praxeology for Supporting the Teaching of Proofs in a CAS Environment Based on Teachers' Experience in a Professional Development Course
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Zehavi, Nurit; Mann, Giora – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2011
This paper presents the development process of a "praxeology" (theory-of-practice) for supporting the teaching of proofs in a CAS environment. The characteristics of the praxeology were elaborated within the frame of a professional development course for teaching analytic geometry with CAS. The theoretical framework draws on Chevallard's…
