Vesife Hatisaru – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
This study investigates the analogies used by a sample of secondary mathematics teachers when they described the concept of function. The study is concerned with understanding what analogies were used by the participant teachers and conceptions of functions positioned in those analogies. Using examples from a set of responses to five open-ended…

Jeremy Hodgen; Colin Foster; Margaret Brown; David Martin – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2024
Recent research syntheses have identified several potentially high-leverage teaching strategies for improving low-attaining secondary school students' learning of mathematics. These strategies include the structured use of representations and manipulatives and an emphasis on derived facts and estimation. This paper reports on 70 semi-structured…

Natalya St. Clair; A. Lynn Stephens; Hee-Sun Lee – International Journal of Science Education, 2024
This case study examines how material resistance (limitations posed by the physical world) and graph interpretation intersected during a high school biology investigation using digital sensors. We use an extended episode from a small group to illustrate how, in an inquiry-based unit, measuring near the resolution limit of a sensor caused scaling…

Susana Claro; Macarena Santana; Tomás Ossandon; Sebastián Cea; José de Amesti; Daniela Santander; Mauricio Huerta – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2024
Computer-based interventions that aim to help students endorse a growth mindset have been designed and tested in high-income countries for a number of years. However, there is no evidence of their effectiveness in middle-income nations. In those studies, students' growth mindset has traditionally been measured using surveys where students report…

Katharina Hettinger; Rebecca Lazarides; Ulrich Schiefele – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2024
Theoretically, teacher self-efficacy relates to student outcomes through teaching behavior. However, underlying pathways through which specific teacher self-efficacy facets longitudinally relate to student motivation and emotion in classrooms remain unclear. This study aims to overcome this research gap by investigating whether student- and…

Philile Nobuhle Mathaba; Anass Bayaga; Daniela Tîrnovan; Michael J. Bossé – Journal on Mathematics Education, 2024
This research investigates errors and misconceptions among learners in algebraic education by utilizing Koch's error analysis method alongside the Structure of the Observed Learning Outcome (SOLO) taxonomy. The primary aim of the investigation is to discern the kinds of errors and cognitive stages demonstrated by Grade 9 students when engaged in…

Debora Lui; Deborah A. Fields; Yasmin B. Kafai – Cognition and Instruction, 2024
Debugging (or troubleshooting) provides a rich context to foster problem-solving. Yet, while we know much about some problems and strategies that novices face in programming on-screen, we know far less about debugging and troubleshooting in the context of physical computing, where coding issues may overlap with materially embedded problems. In…

Carolina Maria Boccuzzi Santana; Andreia dos Santos Calegari; Graça S. Carvalho; João Paulo Reis Soares; Ester Aparecida Ely de Almeida; Jéssica Jorge; Fernanda Franzolin – International Journal of Science Education, 2024
Local biodiversity can help students develop conservation attitudes regarding biodiversity. However, studies reveal students' preferences regarding exotic than local biodiversity. Therefore, more research can permit an improved understanding of the reasons for their interest in these organisms. This research aimed to investigate São Paulo state…

Shemwell, Jonathan T.; Capps, Daniel K.; Fackler, Ayca K.; Coogler, Carlson H. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2023
Big ideas in science education are meant to be interpretive frameworks that empower student learning. Unfortunately, outside of the broad conception of scientific evaluation, there are few theoretical explanations of how this might happen. Therefore, we contribute one such explanation, an instructional concept called integrative analysis wherein…

Mudaly, Vimolan; Narriadoo, Drisana – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2023
Learners in general struggle when working with word problems. South African learners in particular have an added barrier owing to the many official languages that have been legislated. The South African Department of Basic Education, through its curriculum statements, envisages that problem solving will play a fundamental part in mathematics…

Vorhölter, Katrin – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2023
There are several conceptualizations of modeling competencies, including among others on the one hand so-called sub-competencies, which are required to progress from one step of a modeling process to the next, and metacognitive individual and group strategies. However, the relationship between metacognitive strategies and modeling sub-competencies…

Rogers, Joanne R.; Fraser, Barry J. – Learning Environments Research, 2023
In this study of 431 Grade 9 and 10 students, we investigated gender and frequency of practical work as determinants of science students' perceptions of their learning environment and attitudes. We assessed classroom environment with the Science Laboratory Environment Inventory (SLEI) and attitudes with the Students' Adaptive Learning Engagement…

Kari Kesler; Andrea Gerber; BA Laris; Pamela Anderson; Elizabeth Baumler; Karin Coyle – Prevention Science, 2023
Homophobic and transphobic beliefs that lead to bias-based harassment remain a critical concern for young people in the USA. The aim of the present study was to examine the impact of an inclusive comprehensive sex education program (High School FLASH) on homophobic and transphobic beliefs. Data from this study come from a randomized controlled…
