Young, Kaisa E.; Young, Chadwick H. – Physics Teacher, 2019
Two of the most fundamental skills that students acquire in introductory undergraduate physics laboratory courses are how to accurately plot data and interpret the physical meaning of linear graphs. We redesigned our graphing skills lab with an open-ended approach designed to promote inquiry in graphical analysis and to address specific areas of…

Braund, Martin – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in unprecedented amounts of information communicated to the public relating to STEM. The pandemic can be seen as a 'wicked problem' defined by high complexity, uncertainty and contested social values requiring a transdisciplinary approach formulating social policy. This article argues that a 'Critical STEM…

Yilmaz, Nadide; Yetkin-Özdemir, I. Elif – Journal of Theoretical Educational Science, 2021
It was aimed to examine pre-service teachers' developing understandings of doing statistics within a lesson study. It was focused on their understandings (i.e., content knowledge) of doing statistics as well as how they transform their understandings (i.e., content knowledge) into teaching practices (i.e., knowledge of student & knowledge of…

Kim, Kevin Gonyop; Oertel, Catharine; Dillenbourg, Pierre – International Journal for Research in Vocational Education and Training, 2021
Context: Exploring the design space is an important process in a design task. In this study, we considered design space exploration for the learners in vocational education and training (VET). The goal of the study was to investigate how they explore the design space while focusing on the effect of a graph-like interface on the learner's…

Halil Ibrahim Tasova – ProQuest LLC, 2021
In this dissertation study, I report on six middle school students' construction and interpretation of graphs and associated dynamic situations. Constructing and interpreting graphs represents a critical moment in middle school mathematics due to its opportunity to provide a powerful foundation for learning. Nevertheless, researchers have…

Nissen, Jörgen; Stenliden, Linnéa – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2020
In these times, described as an ´post-truth´ era where we are faced with information overload, it is a challenge to help students find relevant information, support their knowledge building and engage them in thinking critically about information and knowledge from different perspectives. This study investigates how a visual analytics interface…

Skrabankova, Jana; Popelka, Stanislav; Beitlova, Marketa – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2020
Graphs are often used to represent mathematical functions, to illustrate data from social and natural sciences, or to specify scientific theories. With increasing emphasis on the development of scientific research skills, the work with graphs and data interpretation are gaining in importance. The research involved an eye-tracking experiment…

Çoban, Atakan; Çoban, Niyazi – Physics Education, 2020
In this study, the spring constant was determined within the scope of Hooke's law. For this purpose, an Arduino MEGA, an HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Distance Sensor, and a 1 kg Load Cell Mass Sensor was used. Sensors and microprocessor are mounted on a plane. One end of the spring is mounted on the force sensor, and a wooden rod, perceived by the distance…

Mason, Erica N.; Smith, R. Alex – Intervention in School and Clinic, 2020
Intervention dosage is an often-overlooked aspect of implementation fidelity. Tracking intervention dosage is critical for ensuring students with disabilities were present for and received the intervention for as many minutes as intended. Used in tandem with student performance data, intervention dosage can provide a clearer picture of…

Lee, Hwa Young; Hardison, Hamilton L.; Paoletti, Teo – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2020
Critical to constructing and interpreting graphs is an individual's understanding of the underlying coordinate systems, yet coordinate systems are often overlooked or taken-for-granted in both mathematics education research and curricula. In this paper, we foreground coordinate systems and present a distinction between two uses of coordinate…

Cabañas-Ramíre, Noé Oswaldo; Locia Espinoza, Edgardo; Morales Carballo, Armando; Merino Cruz, Héctor – Pedagogical Research, 2020
This paper reports the results of the experimentation of a didactic engineering for the treatment of the sense of variation of functions with pre-university students. The theoretical references of the investigation are grounded in the theory of didactic situations and the methodological elements in the didactic engineering, the use of…

Litke, Erica; Hill, Heather C. – Elementary School Journal, 2020
Understanding and analyzing data is a crucial aspect of quantitative literacy in the 21st century, leading scholars and policy makers to push for more rigorous instruction in this area rooted in statistical investigation. In this study, we examine 144 upper-elementary mathematics lessons on data and statistics topics to assess the extent to which…

Ferrara, Francesca; Ferrari, Giulia – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2020
In this paper, we pursue a materialist approach to tool use to account for the material dimensions of learning mathematics with technology while decentralizing the human body from activity. We root this vision in theoretical advances on embodied mathematics learning and tool use that have been recently offered as alternatives to traditional…

Brannick, Michael T.; Gültas, Mehmet – Research Synthesis Methods, 2017
We describe a meta-analytic scatterplot that indicates precision of points for two variables paired within studies; this is equivalent in form to a 'cross-hairs' plot used to portray specificity and sensitivity in diagnostic testing. At the user's discretion, the plot also displays boxplots for each of the X and Y variable distributions, means for…
