Direct linkDirect link
Yuan, Kun; Le, Vi-Nhuan – RAND Corporation, 2014
In 2010, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation's Education Program has established the Deeper Learning Initiative, which focuses on students' development of deeper learning skills (i.e., the mastery of core academic content, critical-thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, communication, and "learn-how-to-learn" skills). Two test…

An Experimental Study on the Effectiveness of Metacognitive and Heuristic Problem Solving Techniques on Computational Performance of Students in Mathematics.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Oladunni, M. O. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1998
Focuses on the effects of the application of two problem-solving techniques--metacognitive and heuristic--on the achievement of students in the computation of creative mathematics problems. Results indicate that there was a significant difference in the achievement of experimental and control groups. Contains 24 references. (Author/ASK)

Mathematics Learning Viewed from a Neurobiological Model for Intellectual Functioning. Final Report: Volume One.
Davidson, Patricia S. – 1983
The learning of mathematics was addressed in this study, with attention in this first volume focused on defining specific learning styles in mathematics, classifying individuals according to learning styles, relating achievement to learning styles, associating learning styles with localized hemispheric functioning of the brain, correlating…
