Rachel M. Doughty – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Escape rooms are making their way into the chemistry classroom as a learning tool. However, escape rooms require a large amount of preparation and setup, and they are only novel and exciting for a single play-through. For escape room games to be incorporated into multiple class periods, they must be streamlined for reuse. In this work, I introduce…

Gulacar, O.; Wu, Arista; Prathikanti, V.; Vernoy, B.; Kim, H.; Bacha, T.; Oentoro, T.; Navarrete-Pleitez, M.; Reedy, K. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2022
The questions in the practice assignments given to students in the form of worksheets or other formats are often grouped by chapter, topic, or concepts. There is a great emphasis on categorization. Most of the end-of-chapter problems in chemistry textbooks are organized by sections. Although this was done with the intention of helping students…

Rosa Isela González-Polo; Apolo Castaneda – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2024
This article aims to analyze the process of the progressive mathematization of the concept of the function by secondary school students through the resolution of a free fall situation. A free-fall mathematical situation was designed and experimented using the Tracker software to obtain movement data. Worksheets and conversations were collected…

Atkin, Keith – Physics Education, 2020
In this paper it is demonstrated how the free, and easily downloadable, software package called SMath Studio can be used to set up a model of alpha-particle scattering. The basic physics of the motion of an alpha-particle in the nuclear coulomb field is used to produce a simple stepwise computer algorithm which, in conjunction with a novel set of…

Jackson Pasini Mairing; Nini – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2023
Mathematics education in the Dayak Ngaju, Central Kalimantan community played an essential part in its inherent culture, including batik/carving/painting motifs. The moral messages embedded in these motifs serve as the philosophy of life for the Dayak Ngaju community. This study aimed to describe influence of implementing an ethnomathematics…

Hausberger, Thomas – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2020
In the spirit of the networking of didactical theories, it is advocated in this presentation in favor of a mixed networking of philosophical theories, namely Husserlian phenomenology and hermeneutics, and didactical theories to produce a fertile interplay between philosophy and mathematics education. The cross-analysis of students' work on a…

Karen L. Terrell; Dennis J. DeBay; Valerie J. Spencer – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2023
To fulfill the Standards for Mathematical Practice (National Governors Association Center for Best Practices & Council of Chief State School Officers [NGA Center & CCSSO], 2010), it is important for teachers to empower students to critique, revise, and expand their ideas as they solve problems. However, students often face challenges such…

Fitri, Nur Lailatul; Prahmana, Rully Charitas Indra – Journal of Research and Advances in Mathematics Education, 2020
Ferris wheel is one amusement playground that resembles a giant spinning wheel. Many students are familiar with the Ferris wheel in the mini version of it at night market festivals. This is the potential for learning mathematics. Furthermore, there is a mathematical learning approach called Indonesian Realistic Mathematics Education (IRME) where…

Hanson, Ruby – Canadian Journal of Action Research, 2020
This study describes the use of worksheet activities based on alternative concepts from a two-tiered diagnostic assessment on chemical phenomena to remediate 37 first year non-major chemistry pre-service teachers' alternative conceptions about word chemical equations. The instruments for data collection were tiered assessments and group learning…

Ding, Lu; Cooper, Katelyn M.; Stephens, Michelle D.; Chi, Michelene T. H.; Brownell, Sara E. – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2021
In laboratory study environments, dialogue-videos, or videos of a tutor and a tutee solving problems together, have been shown to more effectively improve student learning than monologue-videos, or videos of tutors solving problems alone. Yet, few studies have replicated these findings in the context of authentic university classrooms. Here, we…

Lukác, Stanislav; Gavala, Tadeáš – ICTE Journal, 2019
The probability is exceptional in the teaching of mathematics because students often have difficulties to understand the basic terms and the problem solving strategies. Understanding lacks of the probability concept and various types of misconceptions arise from the misleading intuition and misinterpretations of experience with the stochastic…

Rahayuningsih, Sri; Sirajuddin, Sirajuddin; Nasrun, Nasrun – Journal of Research and Advances in Mathematics Education, 2021
In classroom learning, students need mathematical cognitive flexibility to be able to solve mathematical problems with the various ideas they express. To solve the problems, they must be able to grasp the problem, see it from various points of view, and should not be rigid thinking with one solving method. In fact, the students still lack the…

Nagy, Tünde – Hungarian Educational Research Journal, 2020
When it comes to teaching vocabulary in foreign language classes words are often taught in isolation, without regard to the context in which they appear. The paper draws attention to the importance of teaching words in context so that the meaning of a word often results from the meaning of a larger construction it is part of. After presenting the…
