Malepa-Qhobela, Mamathe; Mosimege, Mogege – Issues in Educational Research, 2022
Successful integration of problem-solving in mathematics classrooms lies mostly with the assistance and support teachers get. Many studies have been conducted on the strategies teachers can use to integrate problem-solving in their teaching of mathematics, however, few studies have been conducted on frameworks/models that can assist teachers and…

Abernethy, Gavin M.; McCartney, Mark – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2017
Two simple discrete-time models of mutation-induced cannibalism are introduced and investigated, one linear and one nonlinear. Both form the basis for possible classroom activities and independent investigative study. A range of classroom exercises are provided, along with suggestions for further investigations.

Dupont, Brandon; Durham, Yvonne – Journal of Economic Education, 2018
The authors describe how the Monty Hall Dilemma, a well-known choice anomaly, can be demonstrated with a simple and versatile classroom experiment. In addition to demonstrating the anomaly, the experiment can be used to introduce students to some institutional modifications that have been shown to ameliorate it. This experiment, which can be…

Vizioli, Renato; Kaminski, Paulo Carlos – Journal of Technology and Science Education, 2017
Dealing with problem-solving has been a growing challenge in teaching engineering and over the career of these professionals. To increase the ability to understand a problem and consequently improve the quality of the solutions, an exercise was proposed to students of an MBA program, and they have experienced some challenges on interpreting…

Lopes, Celi Espasandin; Grando, Regina Célia; D'Ambrosio, Beatriz Silva – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2017
Our goal in this article is to discuss the importance of problems in early childhood education for the child's development and engagement with the mathematics existing in childhood culture. Our assumption is that an important task for young children's education is to create a democratic and critical environment, in which multiplicity of…

Matthews, Wendy K.; Johnson, Daniel C. – Research and Issues in Music Education, 2019
In large music ensembles, directors make countless instructional decisions on a daily basis that indicate their learning priorities and guide student learning. In particular, expert music directors (i.e., those having earned a master's degree and/or National Board Certification) have advanced problem-solving strategies and effective means of…

Chan, Man Ching Esther; Clarke, David – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2017
Contemporary curriculum demands the development of both problem solving skills and negotiative skills required for collaborative group work. Tasks are required that create the best possible conditions for students to develop both of these skill sets. Open-ended tasks have been shown to provide these conditions, but they also require the teacher to…
