Brandt, Edward C.; Columba, Lynn – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2022
Over the past decade, there has been an urgent calling for the improvement of teaching and learning of mathematics. At that same time, research has provided promising findings in the value of self-regulation and choice on learning for student achievement. With the ever-increasing availability of resources for educators to support student learning,…

Nahmias, Erez; Teicher, Mina – Journal of Education and Learning, 2021
In this article, we shall present findings that describe the degree to which metacognitive orientation contributes to the study of the geometry the plan in boys compared to girls in 9th grade of middle school. The geometry study process does not only involve knowledge but also high thinking abilities. Beyond the knowledge of definitions and…

Bergström, Tove; Gunnarsson, Gunilla; Olteanu, Constanta – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
This article is intended to contribute to greater knowledge regarding the importance of flow and the time used to perform an activity, with a focus on students' mathematical experiences of 3D bodies. Thirty-one 9th-grade students took part in the study. Flow and variation theory was used in the analysis of lesson observations, submission tasks,…

Rellensmann, Johanna; Schukajlow, Stanislaw; Blomberg, Judith; Leopold, Claudia – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2023
We investigated how students' strategic knowledge about situational (pictorial) drawings and mathematical (schematic) drawings affects drawing accuracy and modeling competencies in the domain of geometry. We conducted a pre-posttest experimental study with 473 students in grade 9. Students were randomly assigned to one of three treatment…

Leikin, Roza; Ovodenko, Regina – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2021
Advancement of self-regulation during complex problem solving and the development of strategical reasoning are among the central educational goals linked to 21st century skills. In this paper we introduce the notion of "Stepped Tasks", which are specially designed in Top-Down structure to achieve these goals in mathematics instruction.…

Rellensmann, Johanna; Schukajlow, Stanislaw; Leopold, Claudia – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2020
We report on the construction, validation, and implementation of an instrument for measuring students' strategic knowledge about drawing for geometry modelling problems, namely, the "strategic knowledge about drawing scale." We conducted a qualitative study and a quantitative study to validate the proposed construction and interpretation…

Seah, Rebecca; Horne, Marj; Berenger, Adrian – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2016
This study surveyed and analysed four secondary school students' writing about a square. Sfard's discursive approach to understanding mathematical discourse was used to analyse the responses collected from 214 Australian secondary school students. The results showed that geometric knowledge was developed experientially and not developmentally.…

Proulx, Jérôme – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2014
This study is part of a larger research program aimed at studying mental mathematics with objects other than numbers. It concerns operations on functions in a graphical environment with Grade-11 students. Grounded in the enactivist theory of cognition, particularly in problem-posing, the study aims to characterize students' mathematical activity…

Hatami, Ali – Educational Research and Reviews, 2015
In this study, the effects of teacher assistants' collaborative learning and learners' self-assessment on self-regulation and academic achievement at high levels have been investigated. Collaborative learning teaching method (Jigsaw and teacher assistant) is used for one group and the other group had also the same as well as learners'…

Holmes, Vicki-Lynn; Hwang, Yooyeun – Journal of Educational Research, 2016
This mixed-method, longitudinal study investigated the benefits of project-based learning (PBL) on secondary-mathematics students' academic skill development and motivated strategies for learning (i.e., cognitive, social, and motivational). The focus of this study was academic skill development (algebra- and geometry-assessment scores) and other…

Yopp, David A. – PRIMUS, 2012
Considerable literature has documented both the pros and cons of students' use of empirical evidence during proving activities. This article presents an analysis of a classroom episode involving in-service middle school, high school, and college teachers that demonstrates that learners need not be steered away from empirical investigations during…

Hollebrands, Karen F. – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2007
This study investigated the ways in which the technological tool, The Geometer's Sketchpad, mediated the understandings that high school Honors Geometry students developed about geometric transformations by focusing on their uses of technological affordances and the ways in which they interpreted technological results in terms of figure and…
