Teo Paoletti; Kevin C. Moore; Madhavi Vishnubhotla – The Mathematics Educator, 2024
Supporting young students in developing meanings for the set-theoretic function definition is emphasized in 6th-12th grade curricula around the world. In prior work, we have highlighted how covariational reasoning supports college students in constructing relationships that afford considering mathematical properties important for a set-theoretic…

Booth, Amy E.; Alvarez, Aubry – Language Learning and Development, 2015
This work explores whether the facilitative effect of causal information on preschoolers' word and descriptive fact learning persists in school-age children. Twenty-three 5-year-olds just beginning school and 23 6- to 7-year-olds who had accumulated over a year of schooling were taught novel words along with descriptions of causally rich,…

Anapa Saban, Pinar – Educational Research and Reviews, 2014
The purpose of this study was to investigate the quantifier structuring processes of teacher candidates doing the Abstract Mathematics course of the Elementary School Mathematics Teaching program. Educational activities assisting the students' structuring of quantifiers were provided through transitions between verbal (written) expressions…

Grace, Donna J.; Henward, Allison S. – Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood, 2013
This study was an investigation into the ways in which two classes of six- and seven-year-old children in Hawaii talked about the media. The children were shown video clips from a variety of media and asked to respond both orally and in writing. The qualitative data gathered in this study were researcher notes, video and audio-taped focus group…

McCormack, Teresa; Hanley, Mary – Cognitive Development, 2011
Four- and five-year-olds completed two sets of tasks that involved reasoning about the temporal order in which events had occurred in the past or were to occur in the future. Four-year-olds succeeded on the tasks that involved reasoning about the order of past events but not those that involved reasoning about the order of future events, whereas…

Hallett, Darcy; Nunes, Terezinha; Bryant, Peter – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2010
Previous research on children's conceptual and procedural understanding of fractions, and other arithmetic skills, has led to contradictory conclusions. Some research suggests that children learn conceptual knowledge before procedural knowledge, some suggests that they learn procedural knowledge before conceptual knowledge, and other research…

Bloom, Howard S.; Weiland, Christina – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2014
Head Start is the largest publicly funded preschool program in the U.S., and one of its primary goals is to improve the school readiness of low-income children. As has been widely reported, the first randomized trial of Head Start in the program's history found some evidence that it is achieving this goal. Receiving one year of Head Start had…

Filippova, Eva; Astington, Janet Wilde – Child Development, 2008
This study describes the development of social reasoning in school-age children. An irony task is used to assess 5-, 7-, and 9-year-olds' (N = 72) and adults' (N = 24) recursive understanding of others' minds. Guttman scale analysis demonstrates that in order to understand a speaker's communicative intention, a child needs to recognize the…

Montgomery, James W.; Magimairaj, Beula M.; O'Malley, Michelle H. – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2008
The influence of three mechanisms of working memory (phonological short-term memory (PSTM capacity), attentional resource control/allocation, and processing speed) on children's complex (and simple) sentence comprehension was investigated. Fifty two children (6-12 years) completed a nonword repetition task (indexing PSTM), concurrent verbal…

Lee, Yeung Chung; Ng, Pun Hon – Asia-Pacific Forum on Science Learning and Teaching, 2004
With the increase in prominence of the investigative approach in Hong Kong science curricula from the primary to the senior secondary level, there is urgency for local science educators including primary school teachers to gain a better understanding of pupils' existing cognitive understanding and reasoning ability for performing science…
