Wilkie, Karina J. – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2020
An important goal in school algebra is to help students notice the covariational nature of functional relationships, how the values of variables change in relation to each other. This study explored 102 Year 7 (12 to 13-year-old) students' covariational reasoning with their constructed graphs for figural growing patterns they had generalised. A…

Wonsavage, F. Paul – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2022
Quadratic modeling problems are commonplace in high school mathematics courses; they typically situate quadratic patterns of change and their corresponding parabolic graph within real-world contexts. Traditional approaches to this type of problem lend themselves to making connections across different representations (e.g., Garofalo and Trinter…

Amal-Palacian, Monica; Baeza, Miguel Angel; Claros-Mellado, Javier – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2022
The aim of this research is to advance in the teaching-learning process of representing quadratic functions, both with pencil and paper and with a technological tool. For this purpose, a didactic experience is presented. Firstly, it is explained in the traditional way how to graph a quadratic function; secondly, students are introduced to the…

Weissman, M. B. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
Sound educational policy recommendations require valid estimates of causal effects, but observational studies in physics education research sometimes have loosely specified causal hypotheses. The connections between the observational data and the explicit or implicit causal conclusions are sometimes misstated. The link between the causal…

Fernández-León, Aurora; Gavilán-Izquierdo, José María; Toscano, Rocío – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
In this paper, we investigate how a research mathematician conjectures and proves when conducting her research. To be precise, the aim of this study is to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the way this research mathematician develops these mathematical practices and thus gain insight to improve the teaching and learning of these two…

O'Sullivan, Kathy; O'Meara, Niamh; Goos, Merrilyn; Conway, Paul – Irish Educational Studies, 2021
Our everyday lives have been transformed in 2020. Key features of this transformation have been the significance of COVID-related numeracy in our everyday lives and the realisation of the story it might tell about lives, health and death. In recent years, governments and educators around the world have been advocating for numeracy as an essential…

Lu, Mingxiao; Cui, Tianyi; Huang, Zhenyu; Zhao, Hong; Li, Tao; Wang, Kai – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2021
Massive open online courses (MOOCs) have attracted much interest from educational researchers and practitioners around the world. There has been an increase in empirical studies about MOOCs in recent years, most of which used questionnaire surveys and quantitative methods to collect and analyze data. This study explored the research topics and…

Tyburski, Brady A.; Drimalla, James; Byerley, Cameron; Boyce, Steven; Grabhorn, Jeffrey; Moore, Kevin C. – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2021
The fields of quantitative and covariational reasoning boast a wide range of powerful theoretical tools, which are described carefully in the literature. Less frequent and explicit attention, however, has been paid to writing down detailed, practical guidance for operationalizing these theoretical constructs. Some guidance is provided by…

Cioaca, Valentin Sergiu; Dascalu, Mihai; McNamara, Danielle S. – Grantee Submission, 2021
Numerous approaches have been introduced to automate the process of text summarization, but only few can be easily adapted to multiple languages. This paper introduces a multilingual text processing pipeline integrated in the open-source "ReaderBench" framework, which can be retrofit to cover more than 50 languages. While considering the…

Selfridge, Richard – SAGE Publications Ltd (UK), 2018
Data rules schools and ignorance is far from bliss. From assessment results to questioning educational claims, there is a growing need to understand the numbers used in education. Education data blogger and teacher Richard Selfridge (aka Jack Marwood) unravels the complexities of dealing with educational data and explains statistics in an…

Jessica Sickler; Michelle Lentzner; Lynn T. Goldsmith; Lauren Brase; Randall Kochevar – International Journal of Science Education, 2024
The need for data literacy is an increasingly pressing priority in society, but most of the work in data-centred education has focused on developing skills at the middle school, secondary, and post-secondary levels, with little attention on the potential for engaging elementary-aged students in reasoning with and about data. This paper reports…

Soyka, Chantal; Schaper, Niclas; Bender, Elena; Striewe, Michael; Ullrich, Meike – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2023
Modeling is an integral part of many computing-related disciplines and thus also represents a curricular core component in computing education in tertiary education. Competence models in which modeling is integrated at least to some extent already exist in some of these disciplines. However, for the core component of graphical modeling, a…

Connelly, Jeffrey; Garcia, Pablo – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2023
Helping students reach a clear understanding of the cause-and-effect relationship between changes in parameter and the graph of an equation is the focus of the activity outlined in this article. The behavior of phase shifts has been regarded as counterintuitive for many people, and often, because of this, conflict between student intuition and…

Rodriguez, Jon-Marc G.; Hux, Nicholas P.; Philips, Sven J.; Towns, Marcy H. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
This work seeks to add to the growing body of chemistry education research that emphasizes the teaching and learning of advanced topics, focusing on students' understanding of enzyme kinetics. The data corpus relevant to this study involved 14 second-year undergraduate students enrolled in an introductory biochemistry course taught in a chemistry…

Kim, Kyung – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2019
Since the initial recognition that human knowledge is structured in a relational manner, technologies have been developed for assessing and analyzing the "structure" of knowledge for a variety of purposes. A computer-based text analytic offline software system, "ALA-Reader," that was developed to assess this knowledge structure…
