Haleva, Livnat; Hershkovitz, Arnon; Tabach, Michal – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
Understanding students' behavior while solving tasks at various levels is essential for the support educators may provide to students. The current study reports on a large-scale exploration of students' activity in an online learning environment for mathematics, while comparing between lower-order thinking (LOT) and higher-order thinking (HOT)…

Bishara, Saied – Cogent Education, 2023
This study examined the association between humor, motivation, and achievements in mathematics in students with learning disabilities. For this study, 80 sixth-grade students with learning disabilities who attend integrated classes in a general education school were tested using three instruments: a questionnaire about incorporating humor in…

Ginzburg, Tamar; Barak, Miri – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2023
Fostering technology-enhanced science learning in elementary schools is an ongoing challenge as young students are not always motivated to engage with science lessons. The use of technology, such as digital sensors and data recorders, has been found to result in higher engagement with science. However, the association between technology-enhanced…

Kohen, Zehavit – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2019
Technology has an inseparable role in contemporary educational systems. Recent demands consider its informed integration in classrooms. The current study aims to investigate whether informed use of Interactive Whiteboard (IWB) technologies affects students' real-time emotions in mathematics classes, through an integrative research model that…

Nesimyan -- Agadi, Dina; Ben Zvi Assaraf, Orit – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2022
Informal learning environments can be a fun and effective means of introducing visitors to a variety of topics in evolution. Our study examined 120 sixth-grade students' conceptualisation of evolutionary ideas following three evolution-themed "Science Days" at 'Nature Campus'--an informal learning environment in Central Israel comprised…

Bishara, Saied; Kaplan, Shani – International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, 2022
This study examines the link between inhibitory control skills (the ability to plan and suppress an inappropriate action in favour of a goal-oriented reaction) and the sense of self-efficacy (both social and emotional), and mathematics achievements in students with learning disabilities. In this study, 60 sixth-grade students with learning…

Saied, Bishara – Educational Research and Reviews, 2022
This study examined the associations between executive functions, gender and personality traits in students with and without specific learning disabilities (SLD). In this study, 80 sixth-grade students were sampled. Of these, 40 were students diagnosed with learning disabilities, 22 boys (55%) and 18 girls (45%) and 40 with no such diagnosis, 23…

Madjar, Nir – Journal of Experimental Education, 2017
The current studies explored (a) the extended external validity of social-goal-orientation framework; (b) the mediating role of social goals between classroom goal structures and students' engagement; and (c) whether changes in social goals can be explained by classroom goal structures and engagement. Study 1 was cross-sectional (N = 317), and…

Bishara, Saied – Cogent Education, 2018
In this, I examined the differences between two approaches for teaching math to pupils with learning disabilities: active teaching as opposed to traditional teaching, which engages pupils more directly in their own learning process and promotes collaborative learning, and traditional (frontal) teaching. The hypothesis is that active teaching will…

Lefstein, Adam; Pollak, Itay; Segal, Aliza – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2020
Encouraging and developing voice in the classroom is a key aim of dialogic pedagogy, but teachers' elicitation of student voices is not always experienced as empowering. This case study investigates a sixth grade literacy lesson discussion about responding to peer group social ostracism. The teacher pressed students to adopt and articulate a…

Anat, Klemer; Shirley, Rapoport; Hanna, Lev-Zamir – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2020
This study describes a teaching process that offers teachers and pupils ways of constructing the division operation through illustration based on defining the reference unit (divisor), the reference whole1 and the dividend. We introduce a computerized dynamic environment, using an Excel spreadsheet, in which both teachers and pupils can…

Dvir, Michal; Ben-Zvi, Dani – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2023
Employing a statistical modeling inspired pedagogy is becoming a widespread practice in the statistics education community. Many have incorporated the practice of formulating conjectures in their modeling-enhanced educational designs and have reported on its benefits. We further elucidate the mechanism through which students' conjecturing may be…

Agranovich, Shoshana; Assaraf, Orit Ben-Zvi – Journal of Education and Learning, 2013
This study examines attitudes to school science classes amongst primary school children, based on the assumption that these will influence their attitudes and choices later in life. 1298 primary school students in grades 4-6 were given a Likert-type questionnaire and asked to provide verbal explanations for their agreement/disagreement with each…

Caspi, Avner; Gorsky, Paul; Nitzani-Hendel, Rakefet; Zacharia, Zacharias C.; Rosenfeld, Sherman; Berman, Shmuel; Shildhouse, Bruria – International Journal of Science Education, 2020
Toward the end of 6th grade, some bright and highly motivated science-oriented Israeli students and their parents are required to make a decision: whether or not to enrol in a non-mandatory advanced science programme for 7th graders ([almost equal to] 12 year olds) upon entering middle-school. In other words, for many students, entry into the STEM…

Shaby, Neta; Assaraf, Orit Ben-Zvi; Tal, Tali – International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, 2019
This research examines the same 12 school-students making repeat visits over a three-year-period to a science museum. We used a qualitative approach, analysing video recordings of museum visit and interviews with students, focusing on the way students use their former engagement in a science museum using a retrospective view that can offer insight…
