Ipek, Ali Sabri – International Journal of Progressive Education, 2018
Pre-service mathematics teachers' content knowledge is an important issue. Therefore, detailed studies are needed to be conducted on mathematical topics. The study examines preservice elementary mathematics teachers' (PEMTs) special content knowledge (SCK) of integer addition and subtraction in the context of using multiple representations,…

Andrade-Molina, Melissa – Journal of Pedagogy, 2017
This article addresses access to high-quality education under a neoliberal mentality. It engages at both the discursive and material levels, by mapping how taken-for-granted truths about neoliberal policies circulate through the media. The media--newspapers, network channels, and news websites--have correlated quality education with socioeconomic…

da Silva, Karina Alessandra Pessoa; de Almeida, Lourdes Maria Werle – REDIMAT - Journal of Research in Mathematics Education, 2018
In this article we present a reflection about the meaning attribution to the mathematical object "exponential function" that emerges from two mathematical modeling activities. The theoretical framework of the text contemplates considerations on Mathematical Modeling and elements of semiotics as theorized by Charles Sanders Peirce. The…

Son, Ji-Won – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2016
Although students' invented strategies typically prove to be meaningful and effective in improving the students' mathematical understanding, much remains unexplored in the current literature. This study examined, through a teaching-scenario task, the nature of 80 preservice teachers' reasoning and responses to students' informal and formal…

Shockey, Tod; Pindiprolu, Sekhar – Journal on School Educational Technology, 2015
The importance of mathematical concept development and language is recognized early in children's schooling as they mature through shape and counting experiences. The reader may recall instances of a youngster referring to a "corner" of a shape before the reader has the language of vertex. This language precision needs to continue to…

Almeida, Rut; Bruno, Alicia – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2014
This paper analyses the strategies used by pre-service primary school teachers for solving simple addition problems involving negative numbers. The findings reveal six different strategies that depend on the difficulty of the problem and, in particular, on the unknown quantity. We note that students use negative numbers in those problems they find…

Navi, K.; Molahosseini, A. S.; Esmaeildoust, M. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2011
The residue number system (RNS) has been an important research field in computer arithmetic for many decades, mainly because of its carry-free nature, which can provide high-performance computing architectures with superior delay specifications. Recently, research on RNS has found new directions that have resulted in the introduction of efficient…

Christ, William G.; Henderson, Jennifer J. – Journalism and Mass Communication Educator, 2014
The accrediting body for media education, the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications (ACEJMC), has established twelve professional values and competencies that all students must demonstrate before graduating from accredited journalism and mass communication programs. A close reading suggests that these twelve…

Norton, Anderson; Baldwin, Michael – Mathematics Educator, 2012
This article confronts the issue of why secondary and post-secondary students resist accepting the equality of 0.999... and 1, even after they have seen and understood logical arguments for the equality. In some sense, we might say that the equality holds by definition of 0.999..., but this definition depends upon accepting properties of the real…

Ferreira, Rosa Tomás; Menezes, Luís; Martinho, Maria Helena – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2012
After briefly analysing a classroom episode, we discuss aspects of the teacher's didactical knowledge, namely in its mathematical and instructional dimensions, as reflected in the answers of three prospective teachers to a written assignment based on the episode. We then raise some issues regarding initial teacher education, anchored in the notion…

Singh, Manish; Feldman, Jacob – Psychological Review, 2012
Lim and Leek (2012) presented a formalization of information along object contours, which they argued was an alternative to the approach taken in our article (Feldman & Singh, 2005). Here, we summarize the 2 approaches, showing that--notwithstanding Lim and Leek's (2012) critical rhetoric--their approach is substantially identical to ours,…

Noemí, Peña-Miguel; Máximo, Sedano Hoyuelos – Universal Journal of Educational Research, 2014
The introduction of new technologies in society has created a need for interactive contents that can make the most of the potential that technological advances offer. Serious games as educational games are such content: they can be defined as video games or interactive applications whose main purpose is to provide not only entertainment but also…

Berge, Analia – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2010
This article presents an exploratory study that gives account of some students' perceptions of the completeness property of the set of real numbers. Students taking three undergraduate correlative courses in Calculus and Analysis answered a written questionnaire; their scripts are analysed trying to understand how operational is the notion of…

Miller, Paul; Peleg, Ora – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2010
The aim of the study was to elucidate whether and how reliance on a second language impacts the learning of new information under very basic learning conditions. The paradigm used to investigate this issue required individuals to learn a series of associations between numerals and particular letter strings. Participants were two groups of…

Rathouz, Margaret – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2010
I explore the impact of ambiguous referral to the unit on understanding of decimal and fraction operations during episodes in two different mathematics courses for pre-service teachers (PSTs). In one classroom, the instructor introduces a rectangular area diagram to help the PSTs visualize decimal multiplication. A transcript from this classroom…
