Research findings on ASYMPTOTE

On our research page you will find links to all freely accessible articles, book chapters, conference papers and other scientific publications. We collect all English language publications on this page. Publications in other languages can be found on the research page of the respective language.

Within our intellectual output “IO6 – Research & Validation”, we also provide the theoretical framework of the ASYMPTOTE system, an user survey evaluation as well as documentation of our research instruments (questionnaires).

ROSEDA Conference Proceedings

ROSEDA Conference Proceedings
(Ludwig et al., 2023)

The ROSEDA Conference Proceedings contain all papers presented at the Research On STEM Education in the Digital Age (ROSEDA) Conference, held in Porto, Portugal, in February 2023. The proceedings summarize and link theoretical considerations, practical experiences and ideas, and empirical research on the use of technology to enrich students’ learning. Hereby, the papers focus on the STEM subjects of Mathematics, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.

The volume is published by WTM and is open accessible. All contributions underwent a peer-review process.

Below, we provide a list of all ASYMPTOTE-related contributions to the ROSEDA Conference. All contributions can be found in the ROSEDA Conference Proceedings.
