Walkington, Candace A. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2013
Adaptive learning technologies are emerging in educational settings as a means to customize instruction to learners' background, experiences, and prior knowledge. Here, a technology-based personalization intervention within an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) for secondary mathematics was used to adapt instruction to students' personal interests.…

Ross, Dan; Reys, Robert; Chavez, Oscar; McNaught, Melissa D.; Grouws, Douglas A. – School Science and Mathematics, 2011
A central goal of secondary mathematics is for students to learn to use powerful algebraic strategies appropriately. Research has demonstrated student difficulties in the transition to using such strategies. We examined strategies used by several thousand 8th-, 9th-, and 10th-grade students in five different school systems over three consecutive…

How Can Self-Regulated Learning Be Supported in Mathematical E-Learning Environments?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kramarski, B.; Gutman, M. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2006
This study compares two E-learning environments: E-learning supported with IMPROVE self-metacognitive questioning (EL+IMP), and E-learning without explicit support of self-regulation (EL). The effects were compared between mathematical problem-solving and self-regulated learning (SRL). Participants were 65 ninth-grade students who studied linear…

The Effects of Multiple Linked Representations on Students' Learning of Linear Relationships
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Ozgun-Koca, S. Asli – Hacettepe University Journal of Education, 2004
The focus of this study was on comparing three groups of Algebra I 9th-year students: one group using linked representation software, the second group using similar software but with semi-linked representations, and the control group in order to examine the effects on students' understanding of linear relationships. Data collection methods…
