Pessia Tsamir; Regina Ovodenko; Dina Tirosh – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2024
This paper reports on students' conceptions of minima points. Written assignments and individual interviews uncovered salient, concept images, as well as erroneous "mis-out examples" that mistakenly regard examples as non-examples and "mis-in examples" that mistakenly grant non-examples the status of examples. We used Tall and…

Vicenç Font; Adriana Breda; Gemma Sala-Sebastià; Luís R. Pino-Fan – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2024
This study answers the following research questions: 1) What types of mathematical errors do future teachers identify when they reflect on their practice? and 2) Which levels of development of the didactic suitability assessment competence for the "errors" component can be inferred when they reflect on their practice? To answer these…

Wessman-Enzinger, Nicole M.; Gerstenschlager, Natasha – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2023
We know that making mistakes in mathematics is an inherent attribute of doing mathematics deeply. Yet, making mistakes is at the root of mathematical fear and anxiety for elementary preservice teachers (PSTs). Valuing mistakes in mathematics is an essential part of shifting from deficient views to asset views of mistakes and having better…

Di Lonardo Burr, Sabrina M.; Xu, Chang; Li, Hongxia; Si, Jiwei; LeFevre, Jo-Anne; Wang, Yangyang – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
Background: Mapping fraction symbols to magnitudes is easier for students to master than comparing fraction magnitudes. Fraction mapping assesses students' understanding of part-whole interpretations of fractions; fractions represent the parts of an object or set of objects. Fraction comparison assesses students' understanding of measurement…

Rodic, Dušica; Horvat, Saša; Roncevic, Tamara; Babic-Kekez, Snežana – International Baltic Symposium on Science and Technology Education, 2021
Examining students' inclinations to use algorithms and rules to solve a task was a fruitful area of research in chemical education in the last four decades. This research aimed to examine whether students read the task request carefully, considering its meaningfulness, or they approach it mechanically, applying a set of algorithms by default. The…

Ozkaya, Merve; Kalac, Senem; Konyalioglu, Alper Cihan – International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2022
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of positive error climate in classrooms on middle school students' error orientations and attitudes towards mathematics. The data of the research were collected in the 2021-2022 academic year. The participants of the study consisted of 44 students in two 6th grade classes in a middle school in the…

Young, Nicholas T.; Caballero, Marcos D. – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2021
We encounter variables with little variation often in educational data mining (EDM) due to the demographics of higher education and the questions we ask. Yet, little work has examined how to analyze such data. Therefore, we conducted a simulation study using logistic regression, penalized regression, and random forest. We systematically varied the…

Olney, Andrew M. – Grantee Submission, 2021
In contrast to simple feedback, which provides students with the correct answer, elaborated feedback provides an explanation of the correct answer with respect to the student's error. Elaborated feedback is thus a challenge for AI in education systems because it requires dynamic explanations, which traditionally require logical reasoning and…

Robitzsch, Alexander; Lüdtke, Oliver – Large-scale Assessments in Education, 2023
One major aim of international large-scale assessments (ILSA) like PISA is to monitor changes in student performance over time. To accomplish this task, a set of common items (i.e., link items) is repeatedly administered in each assessment. Linking methods based on item response theory (IRT) models are used to align the results from the different…

Dewi, Jasinta D. M.; Bagnoud, Jeanne; Thevenot, Catherine – Cognitive Science, 2021
As a theory of skill acquisition, the instance theory of automatization posits that, after a period of training, algorithm-based performance is replaced by retrieval-based performance. This theory has been tested using alphabet-arithmetic verification tasks (e.g., is A + 4 = E?), in which the equations are necessarily solved by counting at the…

Arévalo, María-José; Cantera, María Asun; García-Marina, Vanessa; Alves-Castro, Marian – Education Sciences, 2021
Although Error Analysis (EA) has been broadly used in Foreign Language and Mother Tongue learning contexts, it has not been applied in the field of engineering and by STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) students in a systematic way. In this interdisciplinary pilot study, we applied the EA methodology to a wide corpus of…
