Nicora Placa – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2024
The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics's "Principles to Actions" (NCTM, 2014) cites posing purposeful questions and eliciting and using evidence of student thinking as effective mathematics teaching practices. Interviewing students creates opportunities for teachers to develop these practices. Through interviewing, they can try…

Kashihara, Shiho; Fukaya, Tatsushi – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2023
Predicting the actual performance of strategy use with self-report questionnaires is difficult, especially among elementary school children. Nevertheless, due to the simplicity of self-report questionnaires, it is desirable to identify one that can predict children's performance of actual strategy use. This study investigated whether a self-report…

Brave, Kathryn Lavin; Miller, Jillian – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2022
During the past few years, the social interactions of students have been limited. The act of social distancing has not only exacerbated developmental gaps in social and emotional learning (SEL) (Vaillancourt et al. 2021) but also interrupted mathematics instruction (Lewis et al. 2021). Teachers are searching for strategies that promote…

Christine Cathrine Olsen – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Teaching and learning mathematics in an elementary classroom is a complex process in negotiating a balance in encouraging participation, responding to students, making connections between interactions, and planning for upcoming interactions. In a search for instructional models and structures that support and encourage student engagement in…

Bingölbali, Erhan; Bingölbali, Ferhan – International Journal of Progressive Education, 2021
This study explores the affordances that the open-ended questions hold in comparison with those of closed-ended questions through examining 6th grade students' performance on a mathematics test. For this purpose, a questionnaire including 2 open-ended and 2 closed-ended questions was applied to 36 6th grade students. The questions were prepared in…

Ruttenberg-Rozen, Robyn – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2020
Mathematical paradoxes often produce awe and wonder in the mathematics classroom. In this classroom episode, I share a paradoxical task, based on Simpson's Paradox, and its power as an intervention for a child diagnosed with ADHD. The Paradox leveraged his strengths to help him build understandings in proportional reasoning.

Kojo, Aura; Laine, Anu; Näveri, Liisa – LUMAT: International Journal on Math, Science and Technology Education, 2018
This case study focuses on teachers' actions during problem-solving lessons. The aim of this study was to find out how teachers guide students during mathematics problem-solving lessons: What kinds of questions do teachers ask? How do students arrive at solutions to problems? The dataset contained videotaped fourthgrade math lessons in which…

Hallman-Thrasher, Allyson; Spangler, Denise A. – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2020
We share ideas for preparing for and enacting high-cognitive demand tasks in ways that support students in articulating and justifying their ideas. We offer strategies for developing and posing several types of purposeful questions: (1) eliciting thinking, (2) generating ideas, (3) clarifying explanations, and (4) justifying claims.

Short-Meyerson, Katherine; Sandrin, Susannah; Edwards, Chris – Journal of Research in Childhood Education, 2016
Gender is a critical social factor influencing how children view the world from very early childhood. Additionally, during the early elementary years, parents can have a significant influence on their child's behaviors and dispositions in fields such as science. This study examined the influence of parent gender and child gender on 2nd- and…

Erdogan, Ibrahim – International Journal of Environmental and Science Education, 2017
This study focuses on structured and guided inquiry instruction regarding question asking behaviors and curiosity of elementary students in Turkey. 177 sixth graders in 8 science courses were randomly assigned to treatment groups. Analysis of the data revealed that students in the guided inquiry groups asked higher-cognitive level questions and…

Hudson, Peter; English, Lyn; Dawes, Les; King, Donna; Baker, Steve – Australian Journal of Teacher Education, 2015
Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education is an emerging initiative in Australia, particularly in primary schools. This qualitative research aimed to understand Year 4 students' involvement in an integrated STEM education unit that focused on science concepts (e.g., states of matter, testing properties of materials) and…

Medrano, Juan – ProQuest LLC, 2012
The purpose of this study is to impact the teaching and learning of math of 2nd through 4th grade math students at Porfirio H. Gonzales Elementary School. The Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI) model serves as the independent variable for this study. Its intent is to promote math instruction that emphasizes problem-solving to a greater degree…

Hung, Pi-Hsia; Hwang, Gwo-Jen; Lee, Yueh-Hsun; Wu, Tsung-Hsun; Vogel, Bahtijar; Milrad, Marcelo; Johansson, Emil – Educational Technology & Society, 2014
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of a ubiquitous problem-based learning system (UPBLS) on students' question-raising performance in field inquiry activities. An experiment was conducted on an elementary school natural science course. A total of 43 sixth and fifth grade elementary students divided into experienced and…

Gillies, Robyn M. – Pedagogies: An International Journal, 2013
This study reports on the types of academic talk that contribute to enhanced explanatory responses, reasoning, problem-solving and learning. The study involved 10 groups of 3-4 students who were provided with one of three linguistic tools (i.e. Cognitive Questioning, Philosophy for Children and Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR)) to scaffold…
