Ebubekir Eroglu; Serpil Özdemir – Problems of Education in the 21st Century, 2024
Selecting and remembering the necessary information from rapidly increasing information requires summarization skills. Research on improving students' summarization skills has focused on deletion, generalization, and reconstruction strategies. However, direct teaching of these strategies does not yield successful results. For this reason,…

J. Ureña; R. Ramírez; M. Molina; M. C. Cañadas – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2024
We conducted a descriptive exploratory study in which we analyzed 313 sixth to eighth grade students' answers to a word problem, accompanied by diagrams, involving generalization in an algebraic functional context. In this research, we jointly addressed two objectives: (a) to determine the strategies deployed by students to generalize and (b) to…

El Mouhayar, Rabih – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2022
The purpose of this study is to investigate how triadic dialog promotes generalization of growing figural patterns during classroom talk in multilingual classrooms and crucial linguistic terms that the teacher and students draw on in their home language, as they engage in pattern generalization. Ten sessions in two classrooms in grade 7 were…

Wadham, Bridget; Pearce, Emily; Hunter, Jodie – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2023
In this paper, we explore how students' algebraic noticing's and explanations changed across a two-year period with the introduction of designed instructional material. The data in this report is drawn from n=53 Year 7-8 students' responses to a free-response assessment task across two different years. Analysis focused on how students noticed and…

Saba, Janan; Hel-Or, Hagit; Levy, Sharona T. – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
This paper presents the design and initial learning research with the MMM modeling platform, seeking to advance middle school students' learning through constructing computational models of complex physical and chemical systems. A complexity-based structure of an MMM interface is introduced. It suggests that a complex system can be described and…

Sen, Ceylan; Ay, Zeynep Sonay; Güler, Gürsel – Athens Journal of Education, 2021
This study investigated the effectiveness of inquiry-based learning (IBL) approach in ratio and proportion on the mathematics reasoning skill of seventh-grade students. The study was carried out in a seventh-grade mathematics course in a middle school located in the Central Anatolia region of Turkey during the 2016-2017 academic year. The IBL…

Gandra, Ana Paula; Aires, Ana Paula; Catarino, Paula – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2020
This paper reports a study developed with twenty-six students from a 7th-grade class and was carried in the context of teaching experience in the school year of 2016/2017, using an applet, Equation Buster, on the learning of solving single-variable linear equations. The research objectives are to assess how this applet can help students to see the…

El Mouhayar, Rabih – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
The purpose of this study is to investigate how languages in a multilingual classroom come to participate in the objectification process in the context of pattern generalization. Data came from the transcription of 10 videotaped sessions in grade 7. A mixed quantitative-qualitative approach was adopted for the analysis. The significance of triadic…

Rosenblum, L. Penny; Zebehazy, Kim T.; Gage, Nicholas; Beal, Carole R. – Grantee Submission, 2021
Introduction: Participants' perspectives are valuable in evaluating the effectiveness of an intervention. Methods: Interviews were conducted with teachers of students with visual impairments and students who completed an intervention designed to build graphics literacy skills. Results: Six themes were identified with corresponding subthemes. The…

Tekin-Iftar, Elif; Collins, Belva C.; Spooner, Fred; Olcay-Gul, Seray – Teacher Education and Special Education, 2017
The researchers in this study used a multiple baseline design across dyads to examine the effects of professional development with coaching to train general education teachers to use a simultaneous prompting procedure when teaching academic core content to students with autism and the effects of the procedure on the students' outcomes. Three…

Bush, Sarah B.; Karp, Karen S.; Albanese, Judy; Dillon, Fred – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2014
What better way to interest students in mathematics than using a Super Bowl® commercial? A Prudential® insurance commercial aired during the Super Bowl in 2013 was the impetus for this lesson (see it here on You-Tube™: http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=IsNiKGMSHUQ). In the commercial, four hundred people were polled on "How Old Is the Oldest…

Browder, Diane M.; Hudson, Melissa E.; Wood, Alyson Leah – Exceptionality, 2013
A modified system of least intrusive prompting was used to teach middle school students with moderate intellectual disability who were emergent readers to comprehend short passages of text. Text passages were summaries of the chapters of age-appropriate novels rewritten for a beginning reading level. Time delay was used to teach the participants…

Ding, Meixia; Heaton, Ruth; Hartman, David – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2012
This study took a broad view of generalization, exploring how classroom instruction within opportunities of implicit generalization may be related to students' abilities to generalize. From an integrated perspective of generalization and problem solving, we investigated twelve lessons of two middle level teachers based on three pattern-based…

El Mouhayar, Rabih; Jurdak, Murad – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2015
This paper explored variation of strategy use in pattern generalization across different generalization types and across grade level. A test was designed to assess students' strategy use in pattern generalization tasks. The test was given to a sample of 1232 students from grades 4 to 11 from five schools in Lebanon. The findings of this study…

Kuhn, Deanna; Zillmer, Nicole; Crowell, Amanda; Zavala, Julia – Cognition and Instruction, 2013
We examine how extended engagement in argumentation with peers leads to enhanced metalevel understanding of argumentive discourse. Following such engagement, young adolescents demonstrated enhanced understanding of counterargument and use of evidence as objectives of skilled argumentation, relative to a nonparticipating comparison group. Among the…
