Collaborative learning tasks may represent an effective way to stimulate higher-order processes among high-ability students in regular classrooms. This study investigated the effects of task structure and group composition on the elaboration and metacognitive activities of 11th grade preuniversity students …

De doelstellingen van het Interactive Virtual Math-project zijn het ontwerpen en ontwikkelen van de digitale tool voor het leren van grafieken bij dynamische contexten op de middelbare school (14-17 jaar oud) en om het gebruik van nieuwe technologieën voor leren in de klas te verkennen. Onderzoek biedt …

Conducting a classroom dialogue for reasoning can be very challenging for teachers and, in particular for students-teachers. Research on classroom discussions provides examples of models that can be used to help teachers organize, analyse and conduct classroom discussions. One of these models is the …

[Paper abstract]: The aims of the Interactive Virtual Math-project are to design and develop a digital tool for learning covariation graphs at high school (14-17 years old students) and to explore the use of new technologies for learning in classroom. Research provides some didactical directions to develop …

Het gezamenlijk oplossen van wiskundige problemen creëert de gelegenheid voor leerlingen om te leren redeneren. Doordat leerlingen aan elkaar uitleg geven, worden ze bewust van bestaande kennis en mogelijke misconcepties en kunnen ze daardoor eigen kennis aanpassen en aanvullen. Leerlingen kunnen elkaar …

Interactive Virtual Math (IVM) is a visualization tool to support secondary school students’ learning of graphs by dynamic events. In the prototype version students construct a graph and try to improve it themselves and with the feedback of the tool. In a small-scale experiment, which involved four classes …

Interactive Virtual Math (IVM) is a visualization tool to support secondary school students’ learning of dynamic functions situations graphs. The logbook-function allows teachers to get continuous and real-time assessment on classroom progress and of individual students’ learning process. In a teaching …

An essential condition to use mathematics to solve problems is the ability to recognize, imagine and represent relations between quantities. In particular, covariational reasoning has been shown to be very challenging for students at all levels. The aim of the project Interactive Virtual Math (IVM) is …
