We present a case of one teacher's engagement in project-based learning for algebra I students. This teacher was a member of a cohort of mathematics teachers and career technical educators who participated in a two-week intensive summer institute investigating autonomous vehicles. During the academic year, the follow up support for these educators…

Over seven million students in the United States public school system are served by the special education system, including over 700,000 children between the ages of three and five (National Center for Education Statistics, 2021). These students are legally entitled to the educational opportunities and programs offered to their non-disabled peers,…

This study aims to investigate how primary school students' three-dimensional geometric thinking changes across grades. The survey model was used, and the study group was comprising of 520 primary school students in a large city of Turkey. In the study, the Three-Dimensional Geometric Thinking Test, which is a paper and pencil test, was used to…

When a person with intellectual disabilities has communication and fine motor impairments, multiple choice tests (MCTs) are useful if they are designed to allow some corrections and to measure the reliability of the answers. Here that evaluation method was applied to a home-based mathematical program, developed with a nonverbal adult with Autism…

A novel intervention to introduce undergraduate students to bioinformatics, provide authentic research opportunities, and support student retention in science majors and careers is presented in the Characterizing Our DNA Exceptions (CODE) project. The need to increase the number of qualified STEM graduates, particularly in the fields of…

Historically, secondary students with Emotional/Behavioral Disorders (EBD) have made poor progress in mathematics putting them at-risk for school failure. One mathematic area that students with EBD have difficulties in is solving word problems. The purpose of this exploratory study was to examine the effects of schema-based instruction on…

Two case studies were conducted to examine whether inquiry-based learning (IBL) can help students in understanding normal distributions, and to determine if IBL methods have any effect on students' conceptual and computational capabilities. There were 16 students in the traditional class and 17 students in the IBL-implemented class who…

In this article, Fishbone-based advanced computational thinking (FACT) pedagogy is proposed by fusing fishbone pedagogy and computational thinking pedagogy for enhancing teaching-learning process while teaching engineering and science courses, for engineering and science students respectively. The proposed FACT pedagogy has been implemented using…

This study aims to develop a computer program for the identification key to insect orders (Arthropoda: Hexapoda) and to investigate its effectiveness as teaching material. Secondly, this study is aiming at whether this program improves students' computational thinking skills or not longitudinal quasi-experimental design. Firstly, the study is…

This quantitative study examined the current level of literacy skills of three cohorts of learners after they completed a non-formal basic literacy programme in 2017, 2018 and 2019. The purpose of the study, conducted in late 2019, was to identify major factors that influenced the maintenance of their levels of reading and calculating skills. The…

In this paper, we applied a peer assessment scenario at the Technical University of Manabí (Ecuador). Students and professors evaluated some works through rubrics, assigned a numerical score, and provided textual feedback grounding why such a numerical score was determined, to detect inaccuracy between both assessments. The proposed model uses…

Background: The South African Department of Basic Education (DBE) aims to expand science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) learning in the national curriculum through a "Digital Skills for All Curriculum" (DSfAC) for Grade R-9. The DSfAC intends to educate a STEM-literate future citizenry with refined computational thinking…

This study uses web sphere analysis to examine the usability and usefulness of information that selected 4-year colleges and universities are providing about the costs of attendance via their net price calculators and cost-related websites. Using compliance with current and proposed federal requirements for net price calculators as a starting…

Due to their applications on varied and complex issues, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) (collectively, AIoT) have become popular new-generation courses, but the learning of such courses needs to consider actual situations and to analyze complicated problems, making it difficult for students to improve their academic…

The purpose of the present study is to clarify the contributions of cognitive skills (nonverbal reasoning, language comprehension, working memory, attention, processing speed) and academic skills (mathematics facts retrieval, mathematics computation, mathematics vocabulary, reading comprehension) in performing mathematics word problems among…
