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…

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…

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…

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…
