Absher, Mikayla L.; Piephoff, Caroline C.; Sitar, David J. – Physics Teacher, 2019
Throughout time people have been measuring the rising and setting positions of celestial objects with respect to the horizon. The motivation for this paper is to provide a link between mathematical and observational approximations for the Sun's declination (angular distance from the celestial equator). One source had students do an experiment with…

Berkman, Sydney J.; Roscoe, Eileen M.; Bourret, Jason C. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2019
An important skill for behavior analysts is creating graphs that clearly convey outcomes and conform to publication conventions. GraphPad Prism is software designed for creating scientific graphs, but no prior research has empirically evaluated training graphing skills using Prism. Two effective training methods are enhanced written instructions…

Vachharajani, Vinay; Pareek, Jyoti – International Journal of Distance Education Technologies, 2020
The demand for higher education keeps on increasing. The invention of information technology and e-learning have, to a large extent, solved the problem of shortage of skilled and qualified teachers. But there is no guarantee that this will ensure the high quality of learning. In spite of large number of students, though the delivery of learning…

Balaton, M. C.; Da Silva, L. F.; Carvalho, P. S. – Physics Education, 2020
In this paper, we aim to show strategies for improving graph interpretation skills at middle and high school students using OZOBOT® BIT, a small and relatively low-cost programmable robot which had been used to teach programming to young children. OZOBOT's speed can be controlled by drawing lines with colour codes, as well as through a visual…

Syarifuddin, Syarifuddin; Nusantara, Toto; Qohar, Abd.; Muksar, Makbul – Participatory Educational Research, 2020
The purpose of this study was to describe students' thinking processes in relating quantities to the problem of covariation in the process of solving mathematical problems. This study used a descriptive exploratory approach within the scope of qualitative research involving 87 students as prospective subjects from three different high schools. The…

Bursal, Murat; Polat, Fuat – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2020
This study investigated the graphing skills and some affective states of middle school students about graphs by their gender, grade level, and the common graph types used in science courses. Participants' line graph skills, selfefficacy beliefs and attitudes toward graphs, and their personal literacy perceptions about different graph types (line,…

Patterson, Margaret Becker – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2023
Adults with learning disabilities (LD) face educational and employment challenges and may also have other disabilities and health conditions. Little is known about these adults' numeracy skills and how they use numeracy at work or home. The article's objective was to investigate numeracy skills and skill use for U.S. adults with LD. The author…

Teo Paoletti; Kevin C. Moore; Madhavi Vishnubhotla – The Mathematics Educator, 2024
Supporting young students in developing meanings for the set-theoretic function definition is emphasized in 6th-12th grade curricula around the world. In prior work, we have highlighted how covariational reasoning supports college students in constructing relationships that afford considering mathematical properties important for a set-theoretic…

Çekmez, Erdem; Cevahir Bolat, Rümeysa – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2022
The purpose of this study was to investigate the understanding of prospective elementary mathematics teachers of the formal definition of the limit of a sequence. The participants were 32 prospective mathematics teachers (8 male and 24 female) who were in their third year of study in a four-year mathematics teacher preparation programme Istanbul…

Moffitt, Vera Zaychik – ProQuest LLC, 2017
Graph representations underlie many modern computer applications, capturing the structure of such diverse networks as the Internet, personal associations, roads, sensors, and metabolic pathways. While the static structure of graphs is a well-explored field, a new emphasis is being placed on understanding and representing the way these networks…

Ramos, David Brito; Ramos, Ilmara Monteverde Martins; Gasparini, Isabela; Teixeira de Oliveira, Elaine Harada – International Journal of Distance Education Technologies, 2021
This work presents a new approach to the learning path model in e-learning systems. The model uses data from the database records from an e-learning system and uses graphs as representation. In this work, the authors show how the model can be used to represent visually the learning paths, behavior analysis, help to suggest group formation for…

Liyanage, Dilhara; Lo, Stanley M.; Hunnicutt, Sally S. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2021
A novel methodology has been developed to capture student interactions and engagement modes by mapping their discourse in Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) physical chemistry courses using graph theory and a modified ICAP ("Interactive," "Constructive," "Active," "Passive") framework. This…

Gavilán-Izquierdo, José María; Gallego-Sánchez, Inés – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2021
This paper analyzes the discursive activity of an upper secondary school teacher on the topic of the derivative. Specifically, we focus on the discursive activity when introducing the three essential concepts related to this topic: the average rate of change, the derivative at a point, and the derivative function. The theoretical framework used is…

Corlatescu, Dragos-Georgian; Dascalu, Mihai; McNamara, Danielle S. – Grantee Submission, 2021
Reading comprehension is key to knowledge acquisition and to reinforcing memory for previous information. While reading, a mental representation is constructed in the reader's mind. The mental model comprises the words in the text, the relations between the words, and inferences linking to concepts in prior knowledge. The automated model of…

Hudson Golino; Angeline S. Lillard; Ian Becker; Alexander P. Christensen – Grantee Submission, 2021
The current paper investigates the structural validity of the Children's Concentration and Empathy Scale (CCES), which was designed based on Montessori's developmental theory to assess, using teacher ratings, the coherence of attention-related characteristics (concentration, empathy, and normalization) in children from 1.5 to 12 years old. The…
