Kaplan, Rochelle G.; Harris, Cheryl L. – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1991
Informal Assessment sometimes interprets enthusiasm and confidence in mathematics for cognitive competence. Presented are two case studies of interviews conducted to study the affective and reflective capacities underlying children's mathematical thinking during a nonroutine problem-solving task. (MDH)

Mason, Emanuel; Zollman, Alan – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1992
This study explored the relationship between traditional item difficulty and cognitive complexity as measured by response time. Rural students (n=43) responded to computer-based tests of the Individualized Study by Technology General Mathematics Course developed by Alaska's Department of Education. Results indicated that mean response times were…

Usnick, Virginia E.; Brown, Sue – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1992
Interpersonal Process Recall (IPR) is a technique in which audiotapes are used to evoke students' memories concerning their own thinking. Reports a study using IPR to probe elementary students' (n=17) thinking during a problem-solving situation. Concluded that IPR has potential in classroom research. (MDH)

Usnick, Virginia; Babbitt, Beatrice C. – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1993
Reviewed 12 currently available mathematics assessment tools to determine whether they would be appropriate for use in a college-level mathematics clinic. Tests were assigned to two domains: cognitive and mathematical content. Major deficiencies of the tests are cited. (Contains 15 references.) (MDH)
