Camilo Andrés Rodríguez-Nieto; José David Cabarcas-Jiménez; Adriana Lucía Sarmiento-Reales; Benilda María Cantillo-Rudas; Jesús David Berrio-Valbuena; Sudirman Sudirman; Angela Castro Inostroza – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2025
The level of arithmetic knowledge of a high school student was explored when solving additive word problems considering the semantic structure and syntactic component. The methodology was qualitative and developed in four stages: the first is the selection of the participant, the second is the design of a questionnaire with twenty additive…

Stéphane Favier; Jean-Luc Dorier – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2024
In this research, our objective is to characterize the problem-solving procedures of primary and lower secondary students when they solve problems in real class conditions. To do so, we rely first on the concept of heuristics. As this term is very polysemic, we exploit the definition proposed by Rott (2014) to develop a coding manual and thus…

Prayitno, Lydia Lia; Purwanto, P.; Subanji, S.; Susiswo, S.; Mutianingsih, Ninik – Journal of Research and Advances in Mathematics Education, 2022
Semantic is associated with the relationship between symbol, reference, and the problem's context involved in the problem-solving process which also involves reasoning and decision-making. Hence, this study describes the characteristics of students' semantic reasoning to solve the double discounts problem. 51 high school students in Sidoarjo…

Rachmawati, Yemima Indah; Sugandi, Eko; Prayitno, Lydia Lia – Journal of Research and Advances in Mathematics Education, 2019
Problem posing is a learning approach that trains students to be able to process and communicate mathematical problems based on information obtained. This study aims to describe the ability of high school students to pose problems on the topic of the system of linear equations in two variables (SLETV). This study used a quantitative descriptive…

Ma, Yingbo; Katuka, Gloria Ashiya; Celepkolu, Mehmet; Boyer, Kristy Elizabeth – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2022
Collaborative learning is a complex process during which two or more learners exchange opinions, construct shared knowledge, and solve problems together. While engaging in this interactive process, learners' satisfaction toward their partners plays a crucial role in defining the success of the collaboration. If intelligent systems could predict…

Everly, Pamela; Cai, Shengrong – TESOL Journal, 2021
Choosing the right word to express meaning can be a challenge for English language learners (ELLs) in both English as second language and English as a foreign language settings, persisting through all proficiency levels in productive language use for several reasons. In order to make correct word choices, ELLs must master the various aspects of a…

Csapó, Beno, Ed.; Funke, Joachim, Ed. – OECD Publishing, 2017
Solving non-routine problems is a key competence in a world full of changes, uncertainty and surprise where we strive to achieve so many ambitious goals. But the world is also full of solutions because of the extraordinary competences of humans who search for and find them. We must explore the world around us in a thoughtful way, acquire knowledge…

Gierdien, Faaiz; Smith, Charles; Julie, Cyril – Pythagoras, 2019
The aim of this article is to shift the notion of 'sites' as places of work peculiar to continuous professional development (CPD) to a theoretical level, independent of, yet intimately connected to, their physical meanings, for example universities and schools. Most CPD initiatives have to contend with at least one of these two sites, in which…

Espinoza González, Johan; Lupiáñez Gómez, José Luis; Segovia Alex, Isidoro – Electronic Journal of Research in Educational Psychology, 2016
Introduction: This paper analyzes the arithmetic problems posed by a group of mathematically talented students when given two problem-posing tasks, and compares these students' responses to those given by a standard group of public school students to the same tasks. Our analysis focuses on characterizing and identifying the differences between the…

Moleko, Matshidiso Mirriam – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2021
Visualisation plays a critical role in the teaching and learning of mathematics word problems. It is an essential tool for enabling learners to create meaningful mental pictures necessary for solving mathematical problems. Appropriate visualisation requires good reading skills, English proficiency and an understanding of mathematical vocabulary,…

Bossé, Michael J.; Bayaga, Anass; Fountain, Catherine; Young, Erica Slate – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2019
This study investigates representational code-switching (RCS) by considering three high school students' communications in the process of comparing and contrasting pairs of representations (e.g., equation and graph) in the context of rational functions. Supporting this study is research in the realms of students interacting with mathematical…

Crosson, Amy C.; McKeown, Margaret G.; Robbins, Kelly P.; Brown, Kathleen J. – Grantee Submission, 2019
Purpose: In this clinical focus, the authors argue for robust vocabulary instruction with emergent bilingual learners both in inclusive classroom settings and in clinical settings for emergent bilinguals with language and literacy disorders. Robust vocabulary instruction focuses on high-utility academic words that carry abstract meanings and…

Kar, Tugrul – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2015
This study aimed to investigate how the semantic structures of problems posed by sixth-grade middle school students for the addition of fractions affect their problem-posing performance. The students were presented with symbolic operations involving the addition of fractions and asked to pose two different problems related to daily-life situations…

Akinwumi, Julius Olaitan; Olubunmi, Olagundoye Christanah – International Journal of Education and Literacy Studies, 2017
This study investigated the effects of morphological instructional packages as determinants of inferring word meanings in reading comprehension among secondary school students in Ekiti State. The study adopted pre-test, post-test and control quasi-experimental research using two experimental groups and one control group with a sample of 270 Senior…
