Jessica Swenson; Emma Treadway; Krista Beranger – Journal of Engineering Education, 2024
Background: Real-world engineering problems are ill-defined and complex, and solving them may arouse negative epistemic affect (feelings experienced within problem-solving). These feelings fall into sequenced patterns (affective pathways). Over time, these patterns can alter students' attitudes toward engineering. Meta-affect (affect or cognition…

Imdad Ali; Samiran Das – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2024
This study examines the direct and indirect effects of some affective constructs, such as self-efficacy (SE), mathematics anxiety (MA) and mathematics interest (MI) on algebraic problem solving achievement (PSA). The sample of the study consists of 400 class IX secondary school students in Morigaon district of Assam, India. The instruments…

Natalie Brezack; Wynnie Chan; Mingyu Feng – Grantee Submission, 2024
Perseverance is critical for students' achievement and may be particularly important after COVID-19. This paper includes analyses of teacher and principal interviews and student educational technology usage data to examine students' perseverance during math problem-solving across three cohorts of students during and after COVID-19. Data were…

Sam Rhodes; Rick Bryck; Antonio Gutierrez de Blume – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2023
Supporting students in becoming effective problem solvers is a critical component of K-12 mathematics instruction. Unfortunately, little is known about the factors that are related to problem solving proficiency in middle school students. We report the results of a study that employed a hierarchical linear regression analysis to examine the…

Cai Shi, Melissa; Lucietto, Anne M. – European Educational Researcher, 2022
Intuition is one of the main factors that drive our everyday decision-making which happens quickly and unconsciously. Individuals often rely on the use of intuition to solve either simple or complex problems. The purpose of this research study is to further break down an individual's thinking processes by understanding how different groups of…

Inés M. Gómez-Chacón; José M. Marbán – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2024
Affective and cognitive processes may be jointly researched to better understand mathematics learning, paying special interest to emotions related to knowledge acquisition. However, it remains necessary to explore these processes in studies linked to the education of pre-service mathematics teachers. This study aims to characterize epistemic…

Isabel M. Romero Albaladejo; María del Mar García López – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
The mathematical-related affect research agenda demands studies on the affect-cognition relationship, as well as interventions aimed at improving affective aspects of mathematical learning. The potential of technological environments for promoting cognitive changes in students has been widely informed and there is evidence of their influence in…

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…

Juniati, Dwi; Budayasa, I. Ketut – European Journal of Educational Research, 2022
This study aimed to determine the effect of cognitive and affective factors on the performance of prospective mathematics teachers. Cognitive factors include cognitive independence level and working memory capacity, while affective factor include math anxiety. Mathematical performance was then assessed as basic math skills, advanced math skills…

Voica, Cristian; Singer, Florence Mihaela; Stan, Emil – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2020
Affects are intuitively accepted as having a role in the key stages that determine success in problem-solving (PS) and problem-posing (PP). Two disjoint groups of prospective mathematics teachers with similar background and competences have been exposed to PS and PP activities, respectively, and they had to describe their affective states during…

Hashim, Rosnani; Aldaba, Abdulmajid M. A.; Haneef, Mohamed Aslam M.; Noordin, Mohamad Fauzan – Malaysian Journal of Learning and Instruction, 2023
Purpose: The importance of the affective domain in holistic human development, in particular empathy, is an increasing concern today especially after the Covid-19 pandemic. The purpose of this study was threefold: (1) to investigate the attitudes of school students toward competencies associated with human consciousness; (2) to validate the…

Sinha, Tanmay – Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2022
Background: Problem-solving followed by instruction (PS-I) is a powerful design shown to transform students' conceptual understanding and transfer. Within PS-I, no research has examined how moment-by-moment determinants of affective states impact the problem-solving phase and posttest performance. Methods: I develop a multimodal learning analytics…

The teaching profession can be challenging. It depends on each individual how they deal with challenges in the work environment, in communicating with colleagues and pupils, and how successful they are in solving various problems. In the study, we were interested in how four female visual arts teachers understand and become aware of the specifics…

Moon, Jewoong; Ke, Fengfeng; Sokolikj, Zlatko; Dahlstrom-Hakki, Ibrahim – Journal of Learning Analytics, 2022
Using multimodal data fusion techniques, we built and tested prediction models to track middle-school student distress states during educational gameplay. We collected and analyzed 1,145 data instances, sampled from a total of 31 middle-school students' audio- and video-recorded gameplay sessions. We conducted data wrangling with student gameplay…

Munzar, Brendan; Muis, Krista R.; Denton, Courtney A.; Losenno, Kelsey – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
We propose a model delineating the role of control, value, and cognitive disequilibrium in elementary students' experience of emotions during mathematics problem solving. We tested this model across 2 studies. In Study 1, using an explanatory mixed-methods design, 136 students from Grades 3 to 6 worked on a complex mathematics problem appropriate…
