Jason Ureña; Rafael Ramírez-Uclés; María C. Cañadas; Marta Molina – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
Recent research has highlighted the role of functional relationships in introducing elementary school students to algebraic thinking. This functional approach is here considered to study essential components of algebraic thinking such as generalization and its representation, as well as the strategies used by students and their connection with…

Robey, Alison; Castillo, Carlos; Ha, Joseph; Kerlow, Marina; Tesfa, Nebyat; Dougherty, Michael – Metacognition and Learning, 2022
Deciding what items to restudy is an important aspect of self-regulated learning. Previous research (Robey et al. "Psychological Science," 28(11), 1683-1693, 2017) reports that having learners make different types of metacognitive judgments affects restudy decisions. More specifically, when learners made retrospective confidence…

J. Ureña; R. Ramírez; M. Molina; M. C. Cañadas – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2024
We conducted a descriptive exploratory study in which we analyzed 313 sixth to eighth grade students' answers to a word problem, accompanied by diagrams, involving generalization in an algebraic functional context. In this research, we jointly addressed two objectives: (a) to determine the strategies deployed by students to generalize and (b) to…

Reyhan Tekin-Sitrava; Zeynep Özel; Mine Isiksal-Bostan; Seçil Yemen-Karpuzcu – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2025
It is known that teacher noticing skills improve through different interventions such as video clubs, lesson study, and short-term professional development programs. However, it is not known whether this improvement is permanent and whether teachers can transfer their noticing skills into the classroom. It is extremely important to provide an…

Pablo Maceira-Elvira; Traian Popa; Anne-Christine Schmid; Andéol Cadic-Melchior; Henning Müller; Roger Schaer; Leonardo G. Cohen; Friedhelm C. Hummel – npj Science of Learning, 2024
Healthy aging often entails a decline in cognitive and motor functions, affecting independence and quality of life in older adults. Brain stimulation shows potential to enhance these functions, but studies show variable effects. Previous studies have tried to identify responders and non-responders through correlations between behavioral change and…

Girit Yildiz, Dilek; Durmaz, Burcu – Journal for the Education of the Gifted, 2021
Mathematically gifted students have a high potential for understanding and thinking through mathematical relations and connections between mathematical concepts. Currently, it is thought that generalizing patterns algebraically can serve to provide challenges and opportunities that match their potential. This article focuses on a mathematically…

Goñi-Cervera, J.; Cañadas, M. C.; Polo-Blanco, I. – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2022
Generalisation is a skill that enables learners to acquire knowledge in general, and mathematical knowledge in particular. It is a core aspect of algebraic thinking and, in particular, of functional thinking, as a type of algebraic thinking. Introducing primary school children to functional thinking fosters their ability to generalise, explain and…

Wadham, Bridget; Pearce, Emily; Hunter, Jodie – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2023
In this paper, we explore how students' algebraic noticing's and explanations changed across a two-year period with the introduction of designed instructional material. The data in this report is drawn from n=53 Year 7-8 students' responses to a free-response assessment task across two different years. Analysis focused on how students noticed and…

Polo-Blanco, Irene; González López, Eva M. – Autism & Developmental Language Impairments, 2021
Background & aims: In recent years, there has been an increased interest in analyzing the mathematical performance of students with learning difficulties in order to provide them with teaching methods adapted to their needs. In particular, the importance of studying the type of informal strategy that students use when solving problems has been…

Zhang, Jiayi; Andres, Juliana Ma. Alexandra L.; Hutt, Stephen; Baker, Ryan S.; Ocumpaugh, Jaclyn; Nasiar, Nidhi; Mills, Caitlin; Brooks, Jamiella; Sethuaman, Sheela; Young, Tyron – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2022
Self-regulated learning (SRL) is a critical component of mathematics problem-solving. Students skilled in SRL are more likely to effectively set goals, search for information, and direct their attention and cognitive process so that they align their efforts with their objectives. An influential framework for SRL, the SMART model (Winne, 2017),…

Crawford, Angela R. – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2022
Learning trajectories are built upon progressions of mathematical understandings that are typical of the general population of students. As such, they are useful frameworks for exploring how understandings of diverse learners may be similar or different from their peers, which has implications for tailoring instruction. The purpose of this…

Setiawan, Yayan Eryk; Purwanto; Parta, I. Nengah; Sisworo – Journal on Mathematics Education, 2020
Linear pattern is the primary material in learning number patterns in junior high schools, but there are still many students who fail to generalize the linear pattern. The students' failure in generalizing the pattern occurred when the students ended to view the problems globally without breaking them into the constructors' components such as the…

Popham, Michelle; Counts, Jennifer; Ryan, Joseph B.; Katsiyannis, Antonis – Journal of Research in Special Educational Needs, 2018
Self-regulatory interventions have demonstrated numerous benefits for helping improve the academic performance of students. The purpose of this review was to report on the effectiveness and focus of academic self-regulation interventions for children and adolescents with emotional and behavioural disorders. Thirty-six studies published in 35…

LaRochelle, Raymond; Nickerson, Susan D.; Lamb, Lisa C.; Hawthorne, Casey; Philipp, Randolph A.; Ross, Donna L. – Mathematics Teacher Education and Development, 2019
In this article we describe secondary school practising teachers' professional noticing expertise, which includes (a) attending to the details of students' written or verbal responses, (b) interpreting students' mathematical understandings, and (c) deciding how to respond to students based on their understandings, with a focus on algebraic-pattern…

Ottley, Jennifer R.; Rahn, Naomi L.; Coogle, Christan Grygas; Ferron, John M.; Storie, Sloan M. – Early Education and Development, 2018
Research Findings: Naturalistic instruction is the intentional use of strategies embedded within typical activities of the environment to create learning opportunities for children. We used multilevel modeling to analyze data from this single-case design study that focused on improving teachers' use of naturalistic language strategies and…
