Wang, Ting-Ying; Lin, Fou-Lai; Yang, Kai-Lin – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2021
Students' negative affective performance in mathematics learning is a global problem, and the situation is especially challenging in high-achieving East Asian countries. Taiwan's Just Do Math (JDM) program was launched to resolve this problem and to serve as an example of successful scaling up with regard to implementation of innovation. We…

Sankaranarayanan, Rajagopal; Kwon, Kyungbin; Cho, Yonjoo – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2021
Although collaborative learning is becoming a widely popular instructional method, little research has been undertaken considering human cognitive structures and their influence on the design of collaborative learning tasks. Using cognitive load theory as a theoretical framework in this study, forty-five undergraduate students were assigned to…

Donovan, Andrea Marquardt; Alibali, Martha W. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2021
This research examined whether children's construals of mathematical manipulatives -- as toys or as tools for doing mathematics -- influenced their learning from a lesson with the manipulatives. Children (grades 2 and 3) were presented with a set of buckets and beanbags, and they were either given no information about the manipulatives (control)…

Özkubat, Ufuk; Özmen, Emine Rüya – International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education, 2021
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of cognitive strategies and metacognitive functions of students with learning disabilities (LD), students with low-achieving (LA), and students with average-achieving (AA) over their math problem-solving performance. The study sample consisted of 150 students with 50 students from each group.…

Upahi, Johnson E.; Ramnarain, Umesh – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2020
Open-ended problem-solving skills have been identified as employable skills, which undergraduate students will need to have in order to cope with real-life problems in their workplaces after graduation. However, the development and assessment of these skills have been inconsistent across courses offered in universities. This research examined…

Sikes, Lenell D. – 1990
A pretest-posttest control group design was used in a classroom experiment designed to determine whether the problem-solving performance of second grade students would be affected by systematic instruction in estimation. Participants were 36 students in two groups who were given daily lessons in measurement. The experimental group received a daily…
