Using Computer Simulations and Culturally Responsive Instruction to Broaden Urban Students’ Participation in STEMSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 5 - Trang 101-123 - 2019
Jacqueline Leonard, Joy Barnes-Johnson, Brian R. Evans
This article describes the findings of a pilot study that used computer
simulations to broaden urban children’s opportunities to learn and participate
in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Culturally
responsive instructional practices were used to engage urban children in
mathematical reasoning and science process skills to create computer
simulations. In this study, African-... hiện toàn bộ
Mathematics, TouchTimes and the Primary School Teacher: Generating Opportunities for Transitions Across and BeyondSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 9 - Trang 5-30 - 2022
Sandy Bakos
Using the theoretical constructs of double instrumental genesis and instrumental
distance, in this article, I examine case studies of four primary school
teachers (K–5) in British Columbia, Canada, who implemented the multi-touch,
iPad application TouchTimes (hereafter, TT) into their mathematics teaching.
This novel digital technology provides embodied and relational experiences of
multiplication... hiện toàn bộ
Scheming and Re-scheming: Secondary Mathematics Teachers’ Use and Re-use of ResourcesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 7 - Trang 427-452 - 2021
Lina Kayali, Irene Biza
In this article, we examine secondary mathematics teachers’ work with resources
using the Documentational Approach to Didactics lens. Specifically, we look at
the resources and a teacher’s scheme of use (aims, rules of actions, operational
invariants, and inferences) of these resources across a set of lessons
(macro-level analysis) that aim towards students’ preparation for the
examinations and ho... hiện toàn bộ
Conversations with Materials and Diagrams about some of the Intricacies of Oscillatory MotionSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 7 - Trang 167-191 - 2020
Ricardo Nemirovsky, Giulia Ferrari, Chris Rasmussen, Matthew Voigt
This article relates a case study on how a conversation with materials and
diagrams – the actual use of materials and diagrams to think, imagine, explain,
collaborate, design and build – featured a certain kind of interplay between
material and digital components. The physical components present in this setting
included a water wheel, which is a wheel driven by flow of water whose
rotational motio... hiện toàn bộ
The Potential Synergy of Digital and Manipulative ArtefactsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 6 - Trang 109-122 - 2020
Maria Alessandra Mariotti, Antonella Montone
On the basis of the hypothesis that emerged from recent research studies, this
article discusses the potential synergy between the combined use of both digital
and manipulative artefacts. The discussion is supported by examples drawn from a
collection of data gathered in the frame of two teaching experiments, carried
out at different school levels, with the objective of constructing mathematical

Investigating Complexity to Assess Student Learning from a Robotics-Based TaskSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 2 - Trang 93-114 - 2016
Annie Savard, Viktor Freiman
While robotics is becoming a popular tool to introduce an integrated STEM
curriculum into both, elementary and secondary schools, its impact on students’
learning remains underexplored. This article addresses the complexity of
assessing mathematics learning within a robotics-based task by identifying the
different types of knowledge and processes related to digital, mathematical and
sociocultural ... hiện toàn bộ
The Interplay between Inspectable Student Models and Didactics of StatisticsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2018
Sietske Tacoma, Sergey Sosnovsky, Peter Boon, Johan Jeuring, Paul Drijvers
Statistics is a challenging subject for many university students. In addition to
dedicated methods of didactics of statistics, adaptive educational technologies
can also offer a promising approach to target this challenge. Inspectable
student models provide students with information about their mastery of the
domain, thus triggering reflection and supporting the planning of subsequent
study steps.... hiện toàn bộ
Using Digital Resources for Motivation and Engagement in Learning Mathematics: Reflections from Teachers and StudentsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 2 - Trang 253-277 - 2016
Theodore Chao, Jason Chen, Jon R. Star, Chris Dede
Students’ motivation to learn mathematics often declines during the middle
grades. How do we keep students engaged with learning mathematics as it gets
more complex? One way is through the use of technology, such as computer games,
interactive lessons, or on-line videos. Yet evidence from creating
technology-based tasks and resources to motivate students to learn mathematics
is mixed, partially be... hiện toàn bộ
