Book Description
This volume tackles issues arising from today’s high reliance on learning from visualizations in general and dynamic visualizations in particular at all levels of education. It reflects recent changes in educational practice through which text no longer occupies its traditionally dominant role as the prime means of presenting to-be-learned information to learners. Specifically, the book targets the dynamic visual components of multimedia educational resources and singles out how they can influence learning in their own right. It aims to help bridge the increasing gap between pervasive adoption of dynamic visualizations in educational practice and our limited understanding of the role that these representations can play in learning. The volume has recruited international leaders in the field to provide diverse perspectives on the dynamic visualizations and learning. It is the first comprehensive book on the topic that brings together contributions from both renowned researchers and expert practitioners. Rather than aiming to present a broad general overview of the field, it focuses on innovative work that is at the cutting edge. As well as further developing and complementing existing approaches, the contributions emphasize fresh ideas that may challenge existing orthodoxies and point towards future directions for the field. They seek to stimulate further new developments in the design and use of dynamic visualizations for learning as well as the rigorous, systematic investigation of their educational effectiveness.the volume="" sheds="" light="" on="" the="" complex="" and="" highly="" demanding="" processes="" of="" conceptualizing,="" developing="" implementing="" dynamic="" visualizations="" in="" practice="" as="" well="" challenges="" relating="" research="" application="" perspectives.

Book Description
Modern Mathematics is constructed rigorously through proofs, based on truths, which are either axioms or previously proven theorems. Thus, it is par excellence a model of rational inquiry. Links between Cognitive Psychology and Mathematics Education have been particularly strong during the last decades. Indeed, the Enlightenment view of the rational human mind that reasons, makes decisions and solves problems based on logic and probabilities, was shaken during the second half of the twentieth century. Cognitive psychologists discovered that humans' thoughts and actions often deviate from rules imposed by strict normative theories of inference. Yet, these deviations should not be called "errors": as Cognitive Psychologists have demonstrated, these deviations may be either valid heuristics that succeed in the environments in which humans have evolved, or biases that are caused by a lack of adaptation to abstract information formats. Humans, as the cognitive psychologist and economist Herbert Simon claimed, do not usually optimize, but rather satisfice, even when solving problem. This Research Topic aims at demonstrating that these insights have had a decisive impact on Mathematics Education. We want to stress that we are concerned with the view of bounded rationality that is different from the one espoused by the heuristics-and-biases program. In Simon’s bounded rationality and its direct descendant ecological rationality, rationality is understood in terms of cognitive success in the world (correspondence) rather than in terms of conformity to content-free norms of coherence (e.g., transitivity).

Book Description
Dynamic visualizations can strengthen chemistry instruction by illustrating atomic level phenomena. Visualizations can help students add ideas about unseen phenomena involving atomic particles. They allow students to interact with phenomena that cannot be investigated in hands-on laboratories. Connecting dynamic, atomic representations with associated observable phenomena and symbolic representations has the potential to increase the coherence and comprehensiveness of student understanding. Consistent with the knowledge integration framework, students enter chemistry courses with multiple non-normative ideas about chemical reactions. Following the knowledge integration framework, an inquiry project entitled Hydrogen Fuel Cell Cars engaged students in making predictions, exploring new ideas, distinguishing among ideas, and reflecting while connecting atomic interactions to everyday issues such as cars and fuel. To add normative ideas, a dynamic visualization that shows bond breaking and formation during hydrogen combustion was embedded in the unit. Using an iterative design process, a series of studies compared four approaches to distinguishing ideas: unguided exploration of the visualization, generating drawings of the sequence of events in the visualization, critiquing sequences of drawings attributed to a peer, and selecting among alternatives sequences. Progress was assessed using assessments that required students to articulate coherent accounts of chemical reactions. The dissertation describes the design and development of the instruction, reports on a series of comparison studies conducted in typical middle schools that compare student performance in each of the four conditions: exploration, drawing, critique, and selection. The results reveal that visualizations can be deceptively clear so students may ignore important details when exploring a visualization. When learners generate, select, or critique drawings of atomic interactions, they recognize gaps in their knowledge, develop criteria for distinguishing among ideas, and increase in ability to select normative ideas. The dissertation demonstrates the importance of encouraging students to distinguish ideas when learning with visualizations. It suggests design principles for creating instructions featuring visualizations that can succeed in typical classrooms.

Book Description
Wind and seismic loading are one of the most integral and complex parts of structural engineering, with countless calculation and analysis methods possible. Their complexity poses a challenge in their education, making fundamental understanding of these loads and their most prevalent procedures an essential skill for any structural engineering student entering the industry. With the potential capabilities of Computer-Aided Learning providing an interactive environment and the benefits of visualization in learning, this thesis investigated the potential benefits of dynamic visualization of wind and seismic on the learning gains of student using a web tool in comparison to traditional teaching methods. Additionally, the different potential applications of such tools prompted the question of the effects of different input methods on the different applications of the tool. The learning effects and input methods were investigated by conducting a study in an undergraduate structural engineering class in which wind and seismic loads are taught. The study comprised of three stages, each including a quiz and a survey. The questions and statements were created to form a hierarchy of granularity of the data, which can be separated into learning categories (Fundamentals, Design, and Analysis), and/or loads (Wind and Seismic). The collected data was analyzed at multiple levels in hope of answering the questions identified by this thesis. The results show that the dynamic visualization tools helped student understanding of fundamental understanding, with no noticeable difference between the two tools. On the other hand, the input methods did not have an effect on one application over the other.
