Software for math and science education for the deaf.

In this article, we describe the development of two novel approaches to teaching math and science concepts to deaf children using 3D animated interactive software. One approach, Mathsigner, is non-immersive and the other, SMILE, is a virtual reality immersive environment. The content is curriculum-based, and the animated signing characters are constructed with state-of-the art technology and de...

Mindsets and Math/Science Achievement

Art, Math, Science, and Computers

This article discusses and illustrates the beneficial symbiosis between art, math, science, and computers. Mathematical thinking, computer programs, and interactive CAD environments make it possible to gain a deeper understanding of existing artwork and to extract generating paradigms that can produce additional art pieces of the same type. Conversely, well-crafted visualization models for pure...

The acquisition of problem solving competence: evidence from 41 countries that math and science education matters

Background: On the basis of a ‘problem solving as an educational outcome’ point of view, we analyse the contribution of math and science competence to analytical problem-solving competence and link the acquisition of problem solving competence to the coherence between math and science education. We propose the concept of math-science coherence and explore whether society-, curriculum-, and scho...
