Anna van der Meulen; Mijke Hartendorp; Wendy Voorn; Felienne Hermans – Computer Science Education, 2024
Background and Context: In order to fully include learners with visual impairments in early programming education, it is necessary to gain insight into specificities regarding their experience of and approach to abstract computational concepts. Objective: In this study, we use the model of the layers of abstraction to explore how learners with…

Heidi Kristensen; Erik Knain – International Journal of Science Education, 2024
While researchers have stressed the importance of engaging students in activities that enhance their reasoning practices, few have scrutinised the factors that impact the reasoning involved in such activities. We explored the role of attitudes in student-group interactions concerning a climate change-related socio-scientific issue and how those…

Matthew M. Grondin; Michael I. Swart; Claire Huggett; Kate Fu; Mitchell J. Nathan – Grantee Submission, 2024
This full paper considers how collaborative discourse can reveal ways upper-class engineering students mechanically reason about engineering concepts. Argumentation and negotiation during collaborative, multimodal discourse using speech and gestures helps establish common ground between learners and fosters reflection on their conceptual…

Seyda Zengin; Emrullah Erdem – Acta Educationis Generalis, 2024
This study aims to reveal the mathematical reasoning process of 8th-grade students and the reasoning indicators they use in this process. The study was carried out in line with the data obtained from the Mathematical Reasoning Test (MRT) administered to 292 8th-grade students. The mathematical reasoning performances of the participants were…

Michella Basas – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2024
This Family and Practitioner Brief discusses how deaf children who have not had access to a complete language from birth often encounter unique challenges in developing academic language skills, particularly in the realm of inference-making.

Xiaojing Lv; Yujie Jia; Thomas M. Brinthaupt; Xuezhu Ren – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2024
Despite the recognized importance of addressing belief bias in critical thinking, little is known about the neural activity underlying belief-bias reasoning and its connection to critical thinking. The study utilized event-related potentials (ERPs) to examine the neural responses during belief-bias reasoning and explored the extent to which these…

Kelly Moore; Georgiana Craciun – Marketing Education Review, 2024
Flipped classrooms invert the traditional (lecture-based) classroom such that students review materials before class, and then participate in active learning techniques during class. While flipped classrooms have generally been shown to be beneficial, recent research indicates that there are numerous moderators that make an impact on learning…

Wangberg, Aaron; Gire, Elizabeth; Dray, Tevian – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications, 2022
Students need a robust understanding of the derivative for upper-division mathematics and science courses, including thinking about derivatives as ratios of small changes in multivariable and vector contexts. In "Raising Calculus to the Surface" activities, multivariable calculus students collaboratively discover properties of…

Shipman, Barbara A.; Stephenson, Elizabeth R. – PRIMUS, 2022
Point-set topology is among the most abstract branches of mathematics in that it lacks tangible notions of distance, length, magnitude, order, and size. There is no shape, no geometry, no algebra, and no direction. Everything we are used to visualizing is gone. In the teaching and learning of mathematics, this can present a conundrum. Yet, this…

Yang, Xin; Naas, Ragnhild; Dunham, Yarrow – Developmental Science, 2022
When seeking to explain social regularities (such as gender differences in the labor market) people often rely on internal features of the targets, frequently neglecting structural and systemic factors external to the targets. For example, people might think women leave the job market after childbirth because they are less competent or are better…

Hayes, Brett K.; Stephens, Rachel G.; Lee, Michael D.; Dunn, John C.; Kaluve, Anagha; Choi-Christou, Jasmine; Cruz, Nicole – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
Much recent research and theorizing in the field of reasoning has been concerned with intuitive sensitivity to logical validity, such as the logic-brightness effect, in which logically valid arguments are judged to have a "brighter" typeface than invalid arguments. We propose and test a novel signal competition account of this…

Markle, Josh – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2022
Tentativeness is often framed as a deficit, synonymous with timidity or a lack of confidence. In this article, I situate the notion of tentativeness in an enactivist framework and describe its role as both a strategy and affordance in a spatial visualization exercise. Drawing on insights from mathematics education and ecological psychology, I…

Zhuang, Yuling; Conner, AnnaMarie – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2022
Teachers' questioning plays an essential role in shaping collective argumentative discourse. This paper demonstrated that rationality dimensions in teacher questions can be assessed by adapting Habermas' three components of rationality. By coordinating Habermas' construct with Toulmin's model for argumentation, this paper investigated how two…

Hoath, Leigh; Morgan, Lewis; Neuberg, Caroline – Primary Science, 2022
The authors outline some of the ways in which they teach student teachers to think about the challenges of abstract concepts in science. They ask the student teachers to think about abstract ideas in a non-science context first, and find they are enabled to discuss and engage (and then later apply) their thinking better. The authors think that…

Byrka, Marian F.; Sushchenko, Andrii V.; Svatiev, Andrii V.; Mazin, Vasyl M.; Veritov, Oleksandr I. – Journal of Educational Psychology - Propositos y Representaciones, 2021
The relevance of this article is due to the need to form and develop algorithmic thinking of higher education students as the main requirement of the information society following 21st century skills and competences for new millennium learners. The purpose of the article is to consider algorithmic thinking as a new dimension of learning in higher…
