Kallio, Alexis Anja – Research Studies in Music Education, 2015
Stories have been one means by which qualitative researchers have attempted to engage participants and construct, analyze and present data or findings in a meaningful way. In this article, I look at the impetus for, and potentials of crafting and sharing researcher-written "factional stories" with research participants as a…

Back, Ralph-Johan; Mannila, Linda; Wallin, Solveig – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2010
In this article, we present the results from a qualitative study on students' initial reactions to the use of structured derivations in mathematics education. Our findings suggest that the approach increases the clarity of solutions and facilitates debugging of proofs. It also has potential to increase students' self-perceived level of…

Kuusisto, Jouni – 1987
This report considers the research conducted in Finland on photocopying and how it relates to teaching methods, and attempts to develop a theoretical basis for evaluating such research. In the first part of the report, it is argued that studies of copying need to target four separate areas of concern--knowledge, attitudes, activity (quantitative…
