This article aims to explore the application and effects of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technology in mathematics education. By analyzing a VR and AR integrated teaching project implemented in a middle school, this study used ...

We present a learning path on cryptography for primary school students (Grade 5), which we designed and tested. The project aims to raise initial awareness of the core ideas of modern cryptography, which are fundamental concepts for becoming informed and ...

While mathematics is conventionally viewed as an abstract discipline, contemporary perspectives on embodied cognition underscore the significance of integrating students’ bodily experiences into the learning process. However, the efficacy of embodied ...

This study presents lessons on students' applications of integrated skills from mathematics, language, arts and technology, and the nature of the relationship among these skills' domains. The lessons were drawn from students' project using mobile device ...

Traditionally, linear algebra has been taught using 2D representations of fundamentally 3D concepts. We present a visualisation of vector arithmetic in virtual reality with full hand presence and lateral motion, demonstrating how this new technology can ...

In numerous studies, intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) have proven effective in helping students learn mathematics. Prior work posits that their effectiveness derives from efficiently providing eventually-correct practice opportunities. Yet, ...

To benefit from the social capabilities of a robot math tutor, instead of being distracted by them, a novel approach is needed where the math task and the robot's social behaviors are better intertwined. We present concrete design specifications of how ...

Abstract mathematics can be difficult to grasp, in part because it relies on symbols and formalisms that are powerful yet meaningless to novices unless grounded in concreteness. Although a wide corpus of research focuses on concreteness in mathematics ...

The purpose of this preregistered study was to examine whether patterns of teachers' race and gender biases found in prior research would emerge in a virtual teaching context. We asked a national sample of 989 teachers to evaluate ...

• A preregistered experiment tested for teacher biases in an online “zoom” setting.

Grasping mathematics can be difficult. Often, students struggle to connect mathematical concepts with their own experiences and even believe that math has nothing to do with the real world. To create more concreteness in mathematics education, we focus ...

In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis on using computational thinking (CT) to teach mathematical concepts. The integration of math+CT enables students to gain a deeper understanding of both mathematical and computer science (CS) concepts. ...

There are increasing calls for mathematics teachers to foster computational thinking (CT) skills in their lessons and align them with existing curricula and national educational policies. Algorithmic thinking (AT) and generalization are two key ...

Policymakers believe that preparing all students from the earliest grades to high school for a new future of STEM+Computing (STEM+C) integration involves teaching them not only the science and math central to these areas, but also how computational ...

In this paper, we present how spatial visualization skills can be developed in engineering students, using augmented reality and remote virtual environments in calculus courses. Two tools have been specifically developed for this purpose: AVRAM (Remote ...

The use of digital technology has become increasingly widespread in the education sector. In this article, we describe how we used visual learning analytics of classroom videos in our year-long professional development program for secondary school ...

In this paper, we intend to present the planning of experiences that can be presented to students of school age. These experiments have the goal of sensitizing students to climate changes, the problem of water scarcity and the need to save it. At the ...

The goal of our research has been to create software that extends the benefits of virtual reality (VR) to mathematics education. We report on the design and evaluation of a VR application meant to support students' reasoning about objects in three-...

Current input interfaces for entering equations on mathematics e-learning systems are cumbersome, especially for novice learners. In addition, most equation editors are not developed for use in smartphones. Our goal is to develop an intelligent ...

The current study compares textual and symbolic elaborated, response-based feedback in mathematics. We use a randomized experiment in Khan Academy to measure feedback effect in four different topics. Overall, we point out to the superiority of symbolic ...

UPDATED---April 30, 2018. In math curriculum, probability is one of the most difficult concepts for students to understand [7]. With the intention of making abstract math concepts more concrete, we designed Tree It to facilitate third and fourth grade ...
