This review paper highlights research findings from the authors' participation in the SUMMIT-P project, which studied how to build and sustain multi-institutional interdisciplinary partnerships to design and implement curricular change in…
The mathematisation of the socio-economic sphere, where mathematics actively constructs social reality, presents a challenge for studies on ethics in mathematics and its education. While existing scholarship on ethics in mathematics offers…
The teaching of matrix multiplication in secondary education is often limited to the mechanical application of the row-by-column algorithm, leaving aside its interpretation as a geometric transformation. This study analyzes the impact of a…
The goal of the present document is to present the idea of, and convince the community to participate in, Turbulent Dissipation Challenge. The idea was discussed in Solar Heliospheric and Interplanetary ENvironment (SHINE) 2012 meeting. The…
As the field of quantum information science and engineering (QISE) continues its rapid growth, there are increasing concerns about the workforce demands and the necessity of preparing students for quantum-related careers. Given the…
Instructors of statistics who teach non-statistics majors possess varied academic backgrounds, and hence it is reasonable to expect variability in their content knowledge, and pedagogical approach. The aim of this study was to determine the…
Over the past decade, an explosion in the availability of education-related datasets has enabled new computational research in education. Much of this work has investigated digital traces of online learners in order to better understand and…
While proof is a central component of postsecondary mathematical study, proof construction has historically posed significant difficulties for students who intend to earn mathematics degrees at the undergraduate level. This work is…
A difficult challenge in physics education is to design professional development programs for teachers, which can lead to fundamental changes in their practise. We report all activities for physics teachers in the context of the National…
Building on successful work on studying and transforming our senior-level Advanced Lab course, we have transformed our junior-level Electronics course to engage students in a variety of authentic scientific practices, including…
Technology has helped to innovate in the teaching-learning process. Today's students are more demanding actors when it comes to the environment, they have at their disposal to learn, experiment and develop critical thinking. The area of…
Practical research was conducted to cultivate students' mathematical computation ability using literature analysis, theoretical practice, and statistical analysis methods. The research involved 171 ninth-grade students from the author's…
We describe our adventures in creating a new first-year course in Experimental Mathematics that uses active learning. We used a state-of-the-art facility, called The Western Active Learning Space, and got the students to "drive the…
In recent years, trustworthiness has garnered increasing attention and exploration in the field of intelligent education, due to the inherent sensitivity of educational scenarios, such as involving minors and vulnerable groups, highly…
Underrepresented students face many significant challenges in their education. In particular, they often have a harder time than their peers from majority groups in building long-term high-quality study groups. This challenge is exacerbated…
In their study of physics beyond the first year of University -- termed upper-division in the US, many of students' primary learning opportunities come from working long, complex back-of-the-book style problems, and from trying to develop…
This paper presents mathematics as a general science of computation in a way different from the tradition. It is based on the radical philosophical standpoint according to which the content, meaning and justification of experience lies in…
This EPTCS volume contains the proceedings of the ThEdu'21 workshop, promoted on 11 July 2021, as a satellite event of CADE-28. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, CADE-28 and all its co-located events happened as virtual events. ThEdu'21 was a…
This EPTCS volume contains the proceedings of the ThEdu'19 workshop, promoted on August 25, 2019, as a satellite event of CADE-27, in Natal, Brazil. Representing the eighth installment of the ThEdu series, ThEdu'19 was a vibrant workshop,…
Educating the next generation of scientists in statistical methodology is an important task. Educating their instructors in statistical content knowledge and pedagogical knowledge is as important and provides an indirect impact of students'…
