This paper reports on a key representation, a triple number line, designed as part of the first author's doctoral study. The study sought ways to represent multiple constructs of fractions in the context of merging music and mathematics to support learners' understanding of fractions. A problem scenario was designed guided by Realistic Mathematics…

This paper proposes a didactic design that is centered around an immersive, multilinear narrative in virtual reality as a means of illustrating human life on the edge of technological singularity. It explores the potential of narrative scenarios to trigger a discourse from users' perspective. Affective Computing is taken as a use case. It is a…

The context for this paper is the "Synthetic Training Environment Experiential Learning -- Readiness" (STEEL-R) project [1], which aims to estimate individual and team competence using data collected from synthetic, semi-synthetic, and live scenario-based training exercises. In STEEL-R, the "Generalized Intelligent Framework for…

In this paper, the SOLO taxonomy is used to identify different levels of student understanding of the statistical concepts associated with sampling distribution. This study was part of a research project investigating students' conceptual understanding of concepts of hypothesis testing taught with the support of simulation learning activities. The…

Psychoanalysis is largely overlooked in mathematics education, yet is relevant to many aspects of the field, such as the institution of the school, curriculum and instruction, and content. Specifically, one content area where psychoanalysis is both exceedingly relevant and absent is that of probability education. In this critical literature…

Using data from teaching experiments and theories from quantitative reasoning, we built second-order accounts of students' mathematics with regards to how they conceived rate of change through operating on existing quantities. In this report, we explain three different ways STEM undergraduates structurally conceive rate of change as they…

As implementation of the "Next Generation Science Standards" moves forward, there is a need for new assessments that can measure students' integrated three-dimensional science learning. The National Research Council has suggested that these assessments be multicomponent tasks that utilize a combination of item formats including…

Technology can play a pivotal role in mathematics education. Qualitative methods were used to report on how a Year 1-2 teacher incorporated "Conveyance technology" (iPads), to support the teaching and learning of mathematics through student reasoning and problem-solving. The study was conducted in Australia. A single case was chosen,…

The use of social robots in education is a growing area of research and the potential future applications are various. However, the conversational models behind current social robots and chatbot systems often rely on rule-based and retrieval-based methods. This limits the social robot to predefined responses and topics, thus hindering it from…

In this study, we explored enacted task characteristics (ETCs) that supported students' quantitative reasoning (QR). We employed a design-based methodology; we conducted a teaching experiment with eight secondary school students. Through ongoing and retrospective analyses, we identified ETCs which supported students' quantitative reasoning. The…

Global Employability Skills are skills that students acquire during their study period, that are in addition to their academic knowledge and skills, and that would help in their careers. As students continue their university journeys, they often overlook or underestimate the importance of developing Global Employability Skills that employers may…

Mathematics educators sometimes have trouble enacting equity-based pedagogy. Part of this is due to the lack of authentic opportunities to engage in analyzing difficult scenarios involving power, identity, and access. Additionally, mathematics educators sometimes have trouble finding, sharing, and collaborating on activities and materials that…

In the context of Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), paradoxical findings concerning the relationship between questionnaire scales and student achievement are often documented. These questionnaire scales are found to correlate positively with student achievement within countries at the individual level, but negatively at the…

To developed an educational tool for an online OSCE to evaluate the practice readiness of the fourth-year nursing students. Online professional proficiency evaluation of nursing students can be a valid alternative to traditional methods. We designed a one group pre-posttest study. The 51 nursing students were recruited. We implemented a 3-stage of…

In this paper, we present the development of an investigation on the promotion of covariational reasoning in high school students (14-15 years old) in Mexico. The study consists of designing and applying a sequence of didactic activities that simulate a real situation virtually. The activities are organized through a Hypothetical Learning…
