Kristin Zorn; Kym Fry; Kevin Larkin; Peter Grootenboer – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2024
Problems presented in mathematics classrooms often focus on routine tasks with students practicing mathematical techniques demonstrated by the teacher. However, this does not reflect the problem-solving process in the real world, and students often find it difficult to connect school mathematics with authentic contexts. This paper discusses…

Godwin, Karrie E.; Seltman, Howard; Almeda, Ma; Davis Skerbetz, Mandi; Kai, Shimin; Baker, Ryan S.; Fisher, Anna V. – Educational Psychology, 2021
According to the time on-task hypothesis, the amount of time an individual devotes to an instructional task determines the extent to which learning occurs. Therefore, time off-task hampers learning by limiting learning opportunities. Prior research has generally found a positive relationship between time on-task and achievement; however, the…

Jonathan Brown; Erin Turner; Delia Sotelo Fierros – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2025
Mathematical modeling involves using mathematics to represent, analyze, and make predictions or decisions about real- world situations. Garfunkel and Montgomery (2016) elaborate on six components of the mathematical modeling process, including identifying the problem, making assumptions and identifying variables, doing the math, analyzing and…

Amy Been Bennett; Julia Aguirre; Erin E. Turner; Elzena McVicar; Erin Carll – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2023
Mathematical modeling is a process in which students investigate authentic problems and everyday situations using mathematics. In doing so, they bring their multiple mathematical knowledge bases and cultural funds of knowledge into their solution strategies. During a task called "Abuelo's Birthday", 297 students in grades 3-5 decided how…

Min, Sun Hee; Kim, Min Kyeong – International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education, 2020
In this study, we designed and applied physical computing lessons for elementary 6th-grade students based on the software education guidelines in the Korean 2015 Revised National Curriculum (Ministry of Education, 2015a). The participants of this study were ten 6th-grade students of an elementary school in Gyeonggi-do province in Korea. The…

Sarigöz, Iskender Hakki; Fisne, Fatima Nur – Eurasian Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2019
Task-based language assessment (TBLA) is a way of providing information about language learning in authentic settings. Not only does it present language learners with a meaningful and embedded context of assessment but also promotes communication in the target language. Within the framework of TBLA, this study aims to integrate the 4th grade…
