Federica Ferretti; Alessandro Gambini; Camilla Spagnolo – European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2024
As highlighted in the literature, one of the main difficulties in mathematics is the management of different semiotic representations. This difficulty occurs in verticals throughout schooling and is often an obstacle to the proper learning process of mathematics. The present study aims to investigate the different facets of these difficulties with…

Lievore, Ilaria; Triventi, Moris – British Journal of Sociology of Education, 2023
Teachers' evaluations of students do not consider only academic competence, but are imbued with social considerations related to individual teacher and student characteristics, their interactions, and the surrounding context. The aim of this paper is understanding the extent to which teachers grade girls more generously than boys, and which…

Giberti, Chiara; Santi, George; Spagnolo, Camilla – European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
The issue of students' difficulties in processing operations with percentages has been addressed in several international research studies from a qualitative perspective. In this study, we analyze students' difficulties on this topic, focusing on the transition from middle school to high school with a mixed methods research design. We focus on…

Giovanna Valori; Belén Giacomone; Veronica Albanese; Natividad Adamuz-Povedano – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
The combined use of origami and dynamic geometry software has recently appeared in mathematics education to enrich students' geometric thinking. The objective of this research is to study the roles played by the interaction of two artifacts, paper folding and GeoGebra, in a construction-proving problem as well as its generalization in the…

Stefano Scippo – School Effectiveness and School Improvement, 2024
Montessori is a highly individualized pedagogy that prioritizes following each child's individual interests over standardized test scores. This quasi-experimental study compares groups of Montessori students (treatment groups, N = 535-710) with control groups of non-Montessori students, matched through the simple matching method, which controls…

Ferretti, Federica; Santi, George Richard Paul; Bolondi, Giorgio – Research in Mathematics Education, 2022
In this paper we interpret pervasive difficulties with second degree inequalities as a macro-phenomenon emerging from Large Scale Assessment. In line with the theory of reification, we link common students' difficulties to approaches they use that undermine the intertwining of processes and the ensuing emergent mathematical objects. To frame the…

Gabriella Colajanni; Alessandro Gobbi; Marinella Picchi; Alice Raffaele; Eugenia Taranto – INFORMS Transactions on Education, 2023
We introduce "Ricerca Operativa Applicazioni Reali" (ROAR; in English, "Real Applications of Operations Research"), a three-year project for higher secondary schools. Its main aim is to improve students' interest, motivation, and skills related to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics disciplines by integrating…

E. Taranto; G. Colajanni; A. Gobbi; M. Picchi; A. Raffaele – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
Operations Research (OR) is a branch of applied mathematics that deals with optimization problems arising from different real contexts. The solving process of its problems is based on the construction and resolution of mathematical models, showing the possible connections between mathematics and the real world. Nevertheless, OR is not typically…

Silvia Galano; Lucio Palazzo; Italo Testa – International Journal of Science Education, 2024
Astronomy is seen as a "gateway" science, inspiring students to pursue Science-Technology-Engineering-Mathematics (STEM) related careers. However, there is little evidence that students' attitudes towards astronomy remain stable over time. By integrating Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), we identified…

Ferretti, Federica; Giberti, Chiara – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2021
National and international large-scale assessments of mathematics show that, in most nations, males achieve better results than females and Italy is one of the countries with a greater gap. Many research studies in mathematics education have analysed this issue, using both quantitative and qualitative methods to understand the sources and…

Tiziano Gerosa; Lucilla Losi; Marco Gui – Youth & Society, 2024
Smartphones are the principal instrument for internet access among adolescents and pre-adolescents in many industrialized countries. However, research on the long-term correlates of age at first access to these devices concerning life outcomes is scarce. This study contributes to the literature by collecting data from 3,247 Italian students in…

Zambuto, Valentina; Stefanelli, Federica; Palladino, Benedetta E.; Nocentini, Annalaura; Menesini, Ersilia – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Nowadays, an increasing number of children and adolescents living in Europe have an immigrant background. Because ethnicity is a recognizable characteristic that may become the driver of bullying, these youths are at high risk of victimization. School interventions based on peer-led approaches, assuming all the conditions postulated in contact…

Skinner, Ann T.; De Luca, Lisa; Nocentini, Annalaura; Menesini, Ersilia – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2023
The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted opportunities for adolescents to progress through a typical developmental trajectory of adjustment and self-regulation. Adolescents across many contexts have shown an increase in adjustment difficulties during the pandemic compared to pre-pandemic levels. Utilizing data collected from 830 Italian adolescents from…

Ferretti, Federica; Bolondi, Giorgio – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
In the frame of national Italian standardized assessments in mathematics, a didactic phenomenon has been observed concerning students' behaviour when answering an item: students are inclined towards not accepting an output which is not clearly recognizable with something distinct from the starting inputs. The observed effect seems to originate…

Perasso, Giulia; Carone, Nicola; Barone, Lavinia – European Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2021
The present study investigated the antecedents of cyberbullying victimization and addressed the commonalities and differences between visual and written forms of cyberbullying victimization among 3172 Italian adolescents (51.6% male, M[subscript age] = 13.74 years, SD = 1.70) who participated in the Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children (HBSC,…
