Understanding educators' networks can inform the field of school psychology by offering insight into how the structure of social relationships supports the implementation of school-based programs. However, the difficulties of collecting and modeling network data remain barriers to using network methods in school psychology. To overcome these…

Exams should be valid, reliable, and discriminative. Multiple informative methods are used for exam analysis. Displaying analysis results numerically, however, may not be easily comprehended. Using graphical analysis tools could be better for the perception of analysis results. Two such methods were employed: standardized x-bar control charts with…

In this article, the author presents a short teaching sequence to show how to introduce young students in grades 3 (ages 8-9) and 4 (ages 9-10) to using digital tools for exploring larger and multivariate data sets. The teacher guided the young students from creating bar graphs in small data sets on embodied cognition and enactive levels to…

Student difficulties with making sense of graphs in physics have been thoroughly reported. In the study of one-dimensional waves, the issue is even trickier since the amplitude is a function of two variables (position and time). In this work, we investigate students' reasoning and difficulties with interpreting the graphical representation of the…

The Beer-Lambert law is a fundamental relationship in chemistry that helps connect macroscopic experimental observations (i.e., the amount of light exiting a solution sample) to a symbolic model composed of system-level parameters (e.g., concentration values). Despite the wide use of the Beer-Lambert law in the undergraduate chemistry curriculum…

In this study, the design, implementation and evaluation processes of the 4MAT teaching model activity, which is designed in accordance with the holistic brain model for teaching the graphic representation of data at the 8th grade level and making the appropriate transformations between these representations, are presented in this study. The…

This paper analyzes the research performance evolution of a scientific institute, from its genesis through various stages of development. The main aim is to obtain, and visually represent, bibliometric evidence of the correlation of organizational changes on the development of its scientific performance; particularly, structural and leadership…

This study compared two goal-setting approaches found in the Precision Teaching literature, namely the minimum celeration line and the beat your personal best during the mathematical practice of three male students diagnosed with autism, aged 8-9. An adapted alternating treatments design with a control condition was embedded in a concurrent…

Online collaborative learning is implemented extensively in higher education. Nevertheless, it remains challenging to help learners achieve high-level group performance, knowledge elaboration, and socially shared regulation in online collaborative learning. To cope with these challenges, this study proposes and evaluates a novel automated…

Studying students' performance in learning differentiability is essential since it requires them to perform proceptual thinking. This case study research investigates students' proceptual thinking outcomes in learning the differentiability concept using Desmos Classroom Activities (DCA) based on the Three Worlds of Mathematics (TWM) framework. In…

This study applies human-centered design principles and involves end users in creating a usable knowledge graph. The aim was to explore the potential advantages of capturing and presenting networked knowledge in a domain for information discovery and decision-making purposes. The case taken for the research is the interdisciplinary Ph.D. program…

Reading and understanding scientific literature is an essential skill for any scientist to learn. While students' scientific literacy can be improved by reading research articles, an article's technical language and structure can hinder students' understanding of the scientific material. Furthermore, many students struggle with interpreting graphs…

The article presents some notes on normalization and illustrates these procedures using graphing functions in R. Using real data, the paper also presents an R package and online Shiny app that efficiently transforms variables in large datasets.

Current network design problems can be solved by offline or online methods. Offline methods are criticized for their complexity and in flexibility, whereas online methods lack guaranteed optimality. Non-blocking properties, which are typically studied in switching structures, could be used to evaluate the capability of a switching structure to…

3D-printing technology has become increasingly important in recent years, offering many possibilities for mathematics teaching and learning. From our point of view, the field of calculus seems to be particularly suitable for the use of 3D-printing. Using the example of 3D-printed graphs of functions, the use of this technology in calculus is…
