Mathematics student personas for the design of technology-enhanced learning environments

To benefit from the quickly expanding range of new possibilities of technology-enhanced education, school systems, schools, and teachers need to adapt quickly. Conversely, the needs of students and teachers in a technology-enhanced classroom require technology developers to provide and improve suitable technologies. In this paper, we aim to show how to make the professional knowledge of mathematics teachers accessible to developers of technologies and also to teacher trainers and trainees by the use of student personas, i.e., portraits of archetypical students with particular characteristics and needs. We have collected qualitative data from pre-service and in-service mathematics teachers in Austrian academic upper secondary schools about the characteristics and needs of their students. We have analysed these data using a grounded theory approach to derive demands of students on technology-enhanced learning environments (TELEs). We have identified and presented five personas, each with specific demands on TELEs, to represent this target group. By introducing this approach that combines techniques from mathematics education research and from user experience research, we are able to represent user groups of a mathematics technology-enhanced learning environment in a more relatable way than was previously possible. These relatable representations of students in Austrian academic upper secondary schools could be of particular importance for developers of technology-enhanced learning environments for teaching and learning mathematics. The methodology presented in this paper is adaptable to other contexts.

The Role of Minoritized Student Representation in Promoting Achievement and Equity Within College STEM Courses

In the context of continued equity gaps in student success within and beyond STEM, this paper explored the extent to which the representation of underrepresented racial minority (URM) and first-generation college students predict grades in postsecondary STEM courses. The analyses examined 87,027 grades received by 11,868 STEM-interested students within 8,468 STEM courses at 20 institutions. Cross-classified multilevel models and student fixed effects analyses of these data both support the same conclusion: the proportion of URM and first-generation students within a class is positively associated with STEM grades among all students, and these relationships are stronger among students who are members of the minoritized group. Thus, promoting the representation of students with minoritized identities in STEM courses may lead to greater equity in college outcomes.

Multimodal Neurophysiological Representations of High School Students’ Situational Interest: A Machine Learning Approach

Interest plays a vital role in students’ learning performance. Accurately measuring situational interest in the classroom environment is important for understanding the learning mechanism and improving teaching. However, self-report measurements frequently encounter issues of subjectivity and ambiguity, and it is hard to collect dynamic self-report scales without disturbance in the naturalistic environment. Thanks to the development of neuroscience and portable biosensors, it has become possible to represent psychological states with neurophysiological features in the classroom environment. In this study, multimodal neurophysiological signals, including electroencephalograph (EEG), electrodermal activity (EDA), and photoplethysmography (PPG), were applied to represent situational interest under both laboratory (Study 1) and naturalistic (Study 2) paradigms. A total of 33 features were extracted, and 7 different statistical indicators were calculated for each of them across all the epochs. Among these features, 47 in Study 1 and 49 in Study 2 demonstrated significant correlation with self-report situational interest. Employing a machine learning model, the analysis yielded a mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.772 and mean squared error (MSE) of 0.883 for the dataset in Study 1. However, the model was not robust on data from Study 2. These findings offer empirical support for the conceptual framework of situational interest, demonstrate the potential of neurophysiological data in educational assessments, and also highlight the challenges in naturalistic paradigm.

EXAMINING BLACK MALE STUDENT PARTICIPATION CHALLENGES IN A HIGH SCHOOL ACADEMY OF ENGINEERING

In this study we followed a qualitative case study design to examine the perspectives of 20 school stakeholders (e.g., district and school administrators, school board members, teachers, school counselors, parents, staff, and advisory board members) regarding (in)equitable ways they promote and broaden the participation of Black male students in a high school academy of engineering. Using the concept of cultural matching and the formation of STEM identities, we understood that Black students at Madison River Academy did not participate in rigorous academic programs (e.g., the academy of engineering), partially due to a lack of the school stakeholders' abilities to provide culturally congruent, compatible, responsive, or synchronized learning environments that connected them with their home cultures and lived experiences. Findings from our case study demonstrate how the change in the historical mission of career academies has limited access to rigorous STEM opportunities and engagement of ethnically and racially diverse (particularly Black) students. In this academy, the lack of Black male student and teacher representation as well as mathematics were two barriers limiting the engagement of Black male students. Thus, we contend that it is critical that STEM academy school stakeholders, particularly school leaders, prioritize equity as a strategic goal for their STEM programs and recruit Black teachers who are willing to create culturally responsive curricular experiences to elicit interest in STEM for Black students.

REPRESENTATION MATHEMATICS OF JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN SOLVING TIMSS PROBLEMS IN TERMS OF GENDER

The purpose of this study was to find out and describe the process of student representation in solving TIMSS cognitive domain questions in terms of gender. This study used descriptive qualitative method. This research was conducted at the Karangploso Islamic Middle School in Malang in class VIII in the odd semester of the 2021/2022 academic year. Data collection techniques in this study used tests and interviews. The data analysis technique used consisted of three stages, namely data reduction, data presentation and conclusion. The results of this study indicate that students with male and female gender in carrying out the process of representing questions in the cognitive aware domain do not experience problems, even though there are slight problems with male students in solving questions, students can still improve them. The process of representing material in the cognitive domain by female students is better than that of male students. Male students experience confusion in determining the initial steps when working on questions. While the process of representing questions in the cognitive reasoning domain, female students are also better than male students, female students are able to answer questions in the form of inequalities models well, while male students make mistakes in making inequalities models.

Students' multi-representational understanding in understanding glasses needs to be raised by educators in various forms of presenting information so that students are able to understand an abstract problem to become concrete in all realms of reflection. One way to apply learning with a multi-representational approach can have a positive influence on students' cognitive abilities which include low cognitive levels and high cognitive levels. The purpose of this research is to develop an e-module of based on multiple representations for high school students' abstract thinking skills. This is to determine the success of module development that has been designed in such a way. The research method used is research and development or research and development. The model used in the development of this e-module is a 4D model which consists of four stages of development, name define, design, develop, and disseminate. The stages used in the development of this e-module reach the develop stage, due to research limitations and in accordance with the research objectives, namely the development of e-modules. From the results of the research and discussion, it can be concluded that several representation-based e-modules to improve the abstract thinking skills of high school students that have been compiled are of good quality and still need to be achieved. . The average test results of material validation experts stated that the module was in the good category with an average value of 3.5 on a Likert scale, then for the media validation results it was also with an average of 3.5 and said to be in a good category

Indonesian in Andrea Hirata’s Edensor

Culture is one of the uniqueness of humans that makes it have a way of surviving in the world. If animals grow anatomical organs to adapt and survive, then humans grow culture. Culture is our adaptive organ, it is our survival mechanism. This cultural world is an order of existence like no other because it is not shared by any other species. Culture adapts more quickly to new situations than changes in anatomy. That is why humans can move from one environment to another, whereas animals cannot. Culture is a collective product that includes general behavior, perception, emotion, self, and motivation, which then synthesizes individual behavior in a new form. The behavior of all individuals involved in a particular context is not always uniform or identical, but sociocultural contexts can shape people in various ways. Indonesian society has a cultural mentality that refers to a number of distinctive characteristics, both individuals and community groups which then can be a distinguishing feature from other nations. A friendly, helpful, and mutually cooperative character is some of the most often attributed to the nature of the Indonesian people. Literature as a cultural product can be a means to see the mental identity of the culture. The Edensor, a novel by Andrea Hirata, shows how the representation of Indonesian students and their mental and cultural identity in the midst of international relations, with Sorbonne University students. Through qualitative descriptive research with a constructionist approach from Stuart Hall's representation theory, this study's results indicate that Indonesian students' representation is tenacious, easily fascinated especially by Western society and culture, and tend to believe in superstition.

Anti-racist translingualism: investigating race in translingual scholarship in US Writing and rhetoric studies over the past decade

ABSTRACT In this exploratory study, we adopt corpus linguistic methods to quantify, contextualize and investigate race in translingual scholarship in US writing and rhetoric studies over the past decade. Results indicate that while race is mentioned minimally in the corpus, in instances where it is mentioned many scholars pay attention to intersectionality, language, colonial history, and power relations. Additionally, while there is a large representation of international students and newly-arrived immigrants in translingual scholarship in US writing and rhetoric studies over the past decade, domestic multilingual writers of color remain underrepresented. Situating translingualism in greater anti-racist initiatives, we discuss research and pedagogical implications that call for joint efforts from translingual scholars and practitioners to strive for linguistic justice and anti-racist translingual practices.

GeoGebra Assisted Multiple Representations for Enhancing Students’ Representation Translation Abilities in Calculus

Multiple representations cultivate students’ mathematical mindset. However, research results have reported that students do not benefit from these tools due to lack of representational fluency. This study was designed to determine the impact of GeoGebra assisted multiple representations approach on students’ representation translation performance in calculus. Pretest - posttest quasi experimental design was implemented. Three intact groups of first year first semester of social science students in the 2019/2020 academic year of size 53, 57 and 54 at Jigjiga and Kebri-Dehar Universities in Ethiopia were considered. The groups were taught with GeoGebra supported multiple representations (MRT), multiple representations (MR) and comparison group (CG). Representation translation test was given before and after the treatment. Furthermore, students’ translation errors were categorized as implementation, interpretation and preservation errors and analyzed using frequency and percentage. The ANCOVA result revealed that significant difference was obtained on the adjusted mean of RTF posttest (F (2,160) = 5.29, P = 0.006, Partial η2 =0.062) in favor of the MRT. The interpretation error was the most frequently committed among the groups. Recommendations were forwarded that included the use of GeoGebra and the need to conduct further study with different participants to generalize to the entire population.

Promoting learning and interaction during choir rehearsal: A comparison of two conduction profiles

In a previous work, the implicit theories about the teaching - learning of music shown by 40 choir directors were studied through quantitative analysis. In this study, the practice of two of those directors who respectively showed a traditional profile and a more complex one, is compared.Firstly, we provide a description of the practice of the two conductors in terms of rehearsal structure, main typical activities and some of the learning dimensions that they promote comparing both quantitatively and qualitatively. Secondly, we look at the relationship between what each conductor actually does during the rehearsal and his implicit theories regarding learning music.We analyzed the rehearsal practices of two amateur youth choir conductors. These conductors were selected in accordance with the teaching profiles they were shown to have from a previous research study. There was one traditional profile, focused on learning outcomes, and one profile focused on student learning and representation. Differences in practice were analyzed in terms of rehearsal structure, main typical activities and some of the learning dimensions that they promote. We also considered the relationship between the conceptions of the conductors and their practices, finding there was a strong relationship between theories and practices to identify two different ways of conducting the choirs.

Improving Students’ Korfball Skills With In-Depth Content Knowledge

In this article, we present in-depth content knowledge required for preservice and practicing physical education teachers to teach korfball. We begin by describing knowledge of game rules, safety, etiquette, techniques, and tactics of korfball, which refers to common content knowledge (CCK) and continue with defining knowledge of student errors, instructional tasks, and representations. This refers to specialized content knowledge (SCK) that is essential for teachers to deliver meaningful learning experiences to students in physical education lessons. The article provides preservice and practicing physical education teachers with educationally rich examples to improve their teaching practices, thus promotes students’ lifelong engagement in korfball.

Institutional Consequences of the Black Lives Matter Movement: Towards Diversity in Elite Education

In the wake of the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests, racial disparities in elite educational attainment have received widespread attention. Universities expressed their commitment to racial diversity, but university policies aimed at rectifying historic disadvantages were also met with criticism. Critics expressed concerns that efforts to achieve racial equity would disadvantage academically successful Asian students. With this article, we examine how Black and Asian student representation has changed over time. Time series enrolment data show a continuing increase in the representation of Black students at elite universities following Black Lives Matter protests. Medical school enrolment saw a similar trend of increased representation of Black students. Contrary to concerns that Asian student representation has declined as a result of growing enrolment rates of Black students, we observe a steady increase in the representation of Asian students alongside increases in the representation of Hispanic students over the past decade. Black Lives Matter coincided with increased Black enrolment in highly selective universities, without affecting broader trends towards greater representation of minority students.

Students as Agents of Change in Curriculum Designing and Implementation: Involvement and Participation Drives

A student as agent of change in the curriculum design and implementation, involvement and participation in the secondary schools is of critical importance. The need to adopt and change to a competency learning approach that meets the needs of the student, and members of the community. To further scholarly understanding of, and appreciation for, students voice in decision making, participation, student participation in participatory design, as well as and student partnership in curriculum design and implementation. This paper clarifies the unique contributions of each, shaped by differing contexts of interaction, and articulate issues arising by confounding and conflating partnership and representation in the name of student voice. Advancing an argument for an ecosystem of student participation grounded in student voice, we warn of the harm in positioning student partners as speaking for other students and the risk of diminishing the importance of elected student representation systems in favor of staff selected student partner models of student representation.

Quota Admission Policy and Its Impact on Equitable Access to Quality Secondary School Education in Kakamega County, Kenya

Through its secondary school quota admission policy, the Ministry of Education in Kenya endeavors to ensure equitable access to quality secondary school education opportunities by placing students into various categories of secondary schools based on sub county quotas as well as public-private primary schools quotas. The quota admission policy is intended to ensure that students from lower socioeconomic status are given opportunities to attend national and extra county secondary schools. However, every year after the initial placement of students into various categories of secondary schools about 23.01% of students fail to join secondary schools of initial placement but seek transfer to join other schools through a replacement process. In this regard, the aim of this study was to examine the impact of quota admission policy on equitable access to quality secondary school education in Kakamaga County in Kenya. The specific objectives of this study were; (i) to determine the impact of students’ type of primary school attended on equitable access to quality secondary school education opportunities, (ii) to determine the impact of students’ sub county of residence on equitable access to quality secondary school education opportunities, (iii) to determine the impact of students’ socioeconomic status on equitable access to quality secondary school education opportunities. Stratified sampling, proportional sampling and simple random sampling techniques were used to arrive at a sample of 280 students from 2 National schools, 480 from 6 Extra County schools, 500 from 7 County schools, and 960 from 30 Sub County secondary schools. The sample also included 45 principals. Descriptive research design was adopted for the study. Questionnaires were used to collect data and descriptive statistics used to analyze the collected data. The study findings indicated a higher representation of students who attended private primary schools in the national (63.1%) and extra county (56.5%) secondary schools compared to students who attended public primary schools. The results further indicated that students from upper (57.3%) and middle (50.8%) socioeconomic status were highly represented in the national and extra county secondary schools compared to students from lower socioeconomic status. The study recommends that the government should address factors that impede students who attend public primary schools especially those from lower socioeconomic status to join national and extra county secondary schools.
