Wang, Li; Zeng, Jieying; Ran, Xiaomeng; Cui, Zhanling; Zhou, Xinlin – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2022
Mathematical problems can be divided into two types, namely, process-open and process-constrained problems. Solving these two types of problems may require different cognitive mechanisms. However, there has been only one study that investigated the differences of the cognitive abilities in process-open and process-constrained problem solving, and…

del Olmo-Muñoz, Javier; González-Calero, José Antonio; Diago, Pascual D.; Arnau, David; Arevalillo-Herráez, Miguel – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2022
Problem solving is often regarded as one of the most essential cognitive functions in our daily lives, and, for that reason, educational theorists have long stressed the need for its development. As cognitive flexibility is a fundamental characteristic necessary throughout the problem-solving process, the purpose of this study is to analyse…

Lin, Chia-Yi – Gifted Education International, 2023
This study examined Cho's dynamic system model of creative problem-solving ability in a sample of 112 gifted and non-gifted students. The cluster analysis and t-test results indicated that students should be categorized into high and low performance groups. Students who scored three points or more across all attributes also had a higher likelihood…

Livy, Sharyn; Hamilton, Scott; Downton, Ann – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2022
The purpose of this article is to report how Year 6 teachers used geometric reasoning tasks to foster students' mathematical attitudes and dispositions by encouraging communication as students constructed mathematical meaning for themselves. The Year 6 teachers implemented two tasks to provide a rich mathematical assessment opportunity…

Harris, Danielle; Lowrie, Tom; Logan, Tracy; Hegarty, Mary – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
Background: The role of gender in both spatial and mathematics performance has been extensively studied separately, with a male advantage often found in spatial tasks and mathematics from adolescence. Spatial reasoning is consistently linked to mathematics proficiency, yet despite this, little research has investigated the role of spatial…

Kanyarat Cojorn; Kanyarat Sonsupap – International Journal of Education and Literacy Studies, 2024
Ample studies have confirmed that the concepts of Community of Practice and Lesson Study can effectively develop professional development, especially in the design of learning. This positive impact on learners is also evident. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the results that occurred with students who learned from teachers who used…

Ribeiro, Sara; Palhares, Pedro – REDIMAT - Journal of Research in Mathematics Education, 2020
In this article we examine 4th and 5th grade Portuguese students' performance on problems of structuring 2D rectangular arrays of squares, which was analyzed and categorized into the five levels of sophistication described by Battista, Clements, Arnoff, Battista, and Borrow (1998). In general, the results suggest that students in the higher-grade…

Putri, Hafiziani Eka; Rahayu, Puji; Muqodas, Idat; Wahyudy, Mukhamad Ady – Elementary School Forum (Mimbar Sekolah Dasar), 2020
The spatial sense ability of elementary school students is still low. Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract (CPA) approach is considered able to improve students' spatial sense abilities. This research aims to find out the increase of spatial sense of elementary school students who learned with CPA approach and conventional learning in terms of overall…

Chen, Ouhao; Retnowati, Endah; Kalyuga, Slava – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2020
Background: The worked example effect in cognitive load theory suggests that providing worked examples first followed by solving similar problems would facilitate students' learning. Using problem solving-worked example sequence is another way of implementing example-based instruction. Although research has demonstrated the superiority of worked…

Leonard, Jacqueline; Djonko-Moore, Cara; Francis, Krista R.; Carey, Aylin S.; Mitchell, Monica B.; Goffney, Imani D. – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2023
This paper examines the context for developing computational thinking (CT), computational participation (CP), and spatial reasoning among predominantly Black elementary students in grades 5 and 6, who attended a public school in the urban fringe of a large city in the Eastern United States. A case study is presented as the method to examine two…

Ni, Yujing; Zhou, De-Hui Ruth; Cai, Jinfa; Li, Xiaoqing; Li, Qiong; Sun, Iris X. – Journal of Educational Research, 2018
This study investigated the relationship between three cognitive features of mathematical instruction tasks (high cognitive demand, multiple representations, and multiple solution methods) and student learning outcomes among 1,779 students from 30 Chinese fifth-grade classrooms using a new mathematics curriculum. Measures of mathematics learning…

Ramey, Kay E.; Stevens, Reed; Uttal, David H. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2020
This study examines the role of spatial reasoning in learning among 5th and 6th grade students participating in a set of in-school, technology-enhanced, STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) making activities. We focus our analysis on a particular type of reasoning: spatial reasoning. Prior research has shown that spatial…

Hwang, Wu-Yuin; Purba, Siska Wati Dewi; Liu, Yi-Fan; Zhang, Yun-Yuan; Chen, Nian-Shing – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2019
Geometry students have few opportunities to apply geometric concepts and solve geometry problems in authentic contexts. We developed a Ubiquitous Geometry (UG) system to teach geometry to elementary students by using it to measure common objects in authentic contexts. The instant study investigates the effects of UG on student geometry estimation…

Lara-Cinisomo, Sandraluz; Taylor, D. Bruce; Medina, Adriana L. – Reading & Writing Quarterly, 2020
Low-income and racial/ethnic minority children are at increased risk of experiencing summer reading loss or declined reading levels due to time away from school. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a 6-week summer reading program would help children maintain or improve reading levels. Four-hundred-fourteen African American and…

Shilo, Anat; Kramarski, Bracha – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2019
This study aims to investigate a mathematical-metacognitive discourse model with IMPROVE metacognitive self-question prompts (What, How/When, and Why) in order to promote a deeper level of discourse in mathematics classes. The study involved 32 math teachers and 824 fifth-grade students (from 32 public schools) from one district in Israel.…
