Ow-Yeong, Yook Kit; Yeter, Ibrahim H.; Ali, Farhan – International Journal of STEM Education, 2023
Data literacy is increasingly important in today's data-driven world. Students across many educational systems first formally learn about data in elementary school not as a separate subject but via the mathematics curriculum. This experience can create tensions in the priorities of learning and assessment given the presence of other foundational…

Tang, Kok-Sing; Jeppsson, Fredrik; Danielsson, Kristina; Bergh Nestlog, Ewa – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
This paper examines the affordances of physical objects (e.g. apparatus, models, manipulatives) as they were used by teachers and students to make meaning in coordination with their speech and gestures. Despite the pervasive use of physical objects as material and tactile resources in hands-on investigations or demonstrations, there have been few…
