Vorhölter, Katrin – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2018
Metacognitive competencies are of great importance for developing modelling competencies. However, there are assumptions about useful metacognitive knowledge and strategies for individuals working on modelling problems as well as for whole groups, but their coherence as well as their influence on modelling processes is not evaluated…

Asempapa, Reuben S.; Sastry, Aishwarya M. – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2021
Mathematical modeling has been recognized and highlighted in most standards and reports as an important concept to the teaching and learning of mathematics. The study investigated 208 PK-8 preservice teachers' (PSTs') familiarity and experiences with mathematical modeling. The study adopted a survey-design perspective to collect data from 10…

Pastore, A.; Romero, A. M.; Diget, C.; Rios, A.; Leech, K.; Stokoe, P. – Physics Education, 2021
We present a simple activity based on the liquid-drop model which allows secondary school students to explore the uses of mathematical models and gain an intuitive understanding of the concept of binding energy, and in particular the significance of positive binding energy. Using spreadsheets provided as supplementary material, students can…

Rao, B. Madhu; Xanthopoulos, Petros; Zheng, Qipeng Phil – INFORMS Transactions on Education, 2020
NP-complete problems such as the traveling salesman problem (TSP) play a prominent role in most advanced undergrad/graduate courses in discrete optimization modeling. Teaching such an important topic from a purely mathematical perspective without discussing specific applications may result in reduced student interest and motivation. The DeLand…

Çekmez, Erdem – Interactive Learning Environments, 2020
Mathematical modelling is acknowledged to be one of the major dimensions of mathematical competence, and well-designed modelling activities can provide students with the opportunity to use mathematical concepts and procedures in a meaningful way. Additionally, modelling activities are regarded as suitable contexts for enabling students to use…

Cline, K.; Fasteen, J.; Francis, A.; Sullivan, E.; Wendt, T. – PRIMUS, 2020
We have integrated computer programming instruction into the required courses of our mathematics major. Our majors take a sequence of four courses in their first 2 years, each of which is paired with a weekly 75-minute computer lab period that has a dual purpose of both computationally exploring the mathematical concepts from the lecture portion…

Pasachoff, Jay M.; Mativi, Jason W. – Physics Teacher, 2020
To span the great distance from the solar system to the farthest clusters of galaxies in the universe, astronomers break down the distance indicators into steps. The nearest ones are measured geometrically, with what is known as parallax. Among the objects whose distances are thus directly measured are a rare type of star known as a Cepheid…

Alkhateeb, Mohammad – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2019
This study, firstly, aimed at investigating the various types of the multiple math representations and transitions among them in the 8th grade math textbook, and secondly, teachers' use of these representations in teaching. The current study employed the content analysis approach to investigate the multiple mathematical representations and…

Leiss, Dominik; Plath, Jennifer; Schwippert, Knut – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2019
Solving reality-based tasks is an important goal in mathematics instruction and is anchored in education standards determined by mathematical modeling skills. These tasks demand a serious examination of the real-world as well as text comprehension to successfully solve them. Therefore, this study empirically reconstructed the comprehension process…

Brady, Corey; McLean, Jeffrey; Jung, Hyunyi; Dominguez, Angeles; Baker, Courtney; Glancy, Aran – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2019
The Models and Modeling Working Group at PME-NA has provided a forum for discussing and collaborating on projects fundamental to research on mathematical modeling since the first PME-NA conference in 1978. We propose to convene this Working Group at PME-NA 41 with a dual purpose: (1) to build on a theme begun in Greenville, holding a focused…

Bosch, Marianna; Gascón, Josep; Trigueros, María – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2017
The notion of "praxeology" from the anthropological theory of the didactic (ATD) can be used as a framework to approach what has recently been called the "networking of theories" in mathematics education. Theories are interpreted as "research praxeologies," and different modalities of "dialogues" between…

Hansen, Christian; Hansen, Casper; Hjuler, Niklas; Alstrup, Stephen; Lioma, Christina – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2017
The analysis of log data generated by online educational systems is an important task for improving the systems, and furthering our knowledge of how students learn. This paper uses previously unseen log data from Edulab, the largest provider of digital learning for mathematics in Denmark, to analyse the sessions of its users, where 1.08 million…

Mesquita, Lucas; Brockington, Guilherme; de Almeida, Pamella Aline; Truyol, Maria Elena; Testoni, André; Sousa, Paula, F. F. – Physics Education, 2018
In 2017, almost everywhere in the world, there was a boom in sales of fidget spinners. A toy that has 'multi-lobes' that can rotate freely from a thrust performed with the fingers. Thereby, we analysed the physics concepts that involved in this toy, such as angular and linear velocity. We did the analysis using the software Tracker, a laboratory…

Osman, Sharifah; Yang, Che Nurul Azieana Che; Abu, Mohd Salleh; Ismail, Norulhuda; Jambari, Hanifah; Kumar, Jeya Amantha – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2018
Previous studies revealed that many students cannot perform well when it comes to word problem-solving questions. There are various problem-solving strategies that can be applied to help students to overcome the problem. Visualisation techniques in learning have been used to help students enhance their conceptual understanding of the mathematical…

Singh, Iqbal; Kaur, Bikramjeet – Physics Education, 2018
The present article demonstrates a way of programming using an Excel spreadsheet to teach Fourier series expansion in school/colleges without the knowledge of any typical programming language. By using this, a student learns to approximate partial sum of the n terms of Fourier series for some periodic signals such as square wave, saw tooth wave,…
