Vogeler, Heidi A.; Plummer, Kenneth J.; Fischer, Lane; Plummer, Ashton L. – Educational Research: Theory and Practice, 2022
Pedagogical methods for graduate-level statistics courses have rarely focused on the pursuit of conditional knowledge or the ability to choose which concepts/procedures are relevant given a specific research situation. However, utilization of an innovative approach called decision-based learning (DBL) not only provides students with the…

Tracey, Monica W.; Baaki, John – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2022
With the challenges of a global pandemic, political and social unrest, and the consequences these issues bring, there is a universal call for empathy as we attempt to maneuver through this tumultuous time. For instructional designers, this includes employing empathy and empathic design as they grapple with how to design instructional interventions…

Luo, Feiya; Israel, Maya; Gane, Brian – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2022
There is little empirical research related to how elementary students develop computational thinking (CT) and how they apply CT in problem-solving. To address this gap in knowledge, this study made use of learning trajectories (LTs; hypothesized learning goals, progressions, and activities) in CT concept areas such as sequence, repetition,…

Khatin-Zadeh, Omid; Farsani, Danyal; Yazdani-Fazlabadi, Babak – Cogent Education, 2022
Since formal mathematics is discussed in terms of abstract symbols, many students face difficulties to acquire a clear understanding of mathematical concepts and ideas. Transforming abstract or dis-embodied representations of mathematical concepts and ideas into embodied representations is a strategy to make mathematics more tangible and…

Can, Yusuf; Aksoy, Mehmet Akif; Aksoy, Esra; Narli, Serkan – Journal of Educational Technology and Online Learning, 2022
The number and variety of educational mathematics mobile applications (EMMAs) make it difficult to select mobile applications for mathematics learning and teaching. Therefore, in this study, multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques, which are effectively used in a wide variety of disciplines, were applied to choose among alternative…

Jojo, Chacko Eapen; Sundaramoorthy, Jeyavel – Cogent Education, 2022
Usage of Internet and electronic gadgets have become a part of our daily life. Especially, nowadays students need to use Internet for various purposes including academic activities. But the uncontrollable use of Internet can interfere one's daily activities and may develop an addictive behaviour. The current study was aimed to find the difference…

Boelt, A. M.; Kolmos, A.; Holgaard, J. E. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
The development of generic skills and competences has become a central component of contemporary engineering education due to increased societal and occupational complexity. Problem- and project-based learning (PBL) has been highlighted as one of the pedagogical approaches fostering generic skills and competences that are transferable between…

Nieto-Said, José Heber; Sánchez-Lamoneda, Rafael – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2022
In this paper, we consider mathematical competitions for pre-university students, such as the "International Mathematical Olympiad" (IMO) and many national and regional Olympiads following a similar model. The problems proposed in these contests must be solvable by 'elementary' methods (i.e., without using calculus) and belong…

Merced-Nieves, Francheska M.; Chelonis, John; Pantic, Ivan; Schnass, Lourdes; Téllez-Rojo, Martha M.; Braun, Joseph M.; Paule, Merle G.; Wright, Rosalind J.; Wright, Robert O.; Curtin, Paul – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2022
Children are exposed to many trace elements throughout their development. Given their ubiquity and potential to have effects on children's neurodevelopment, these exposures are a public health concern. This study sought to identify trace element mixture-associated deficits in learning behavior using operant testing in a prospective cohort. We…

González-Santander, Juan Luis; Sánchez-Lasheras, Fernando – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
Nonlinear equations are usually solved numerically. However, approximated analytical solutions of nonlinear equations are useful as an initial iteration point for numerical methods. Furthermore, these analytical approximations are sometimes quite close to the actual root. In order to teach at undergraduate level how to perform this kind of…

Miele, David B.; Browman, Alexander S.; Shen, Chen; Vasilyeva, Marina; Tyumeneva, Yulia A. – Journal of Experimental Education, 2022
Three studies examine a novel pathway by which the perseverance component of the personality trait "grit" might predict college students' behavioral persistence when solving challenging math problems. Specifically, we focus on the intervening role of what we refer to as "math-specific self-perceptions of perseverance," which…

Kasuga, Willy; Maro, Wadrine; Pangani, Ismail – Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2022
This study aimed to examine the effect of problem-based learning (PBL) in developing science process skills (SPS) and learning achievement on the topic of 'Safety in Our Environment' in secondary schools in Tanzania. The study employed a quasi-experimental design. The participants for the study were Form One 'Stream E' students in the experimental…
