Demetra Pitta-Pantazi; Eleni Demosthenous; Maike Schindler; Achim J. Lilienthal; Constantinos Christou – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2025
There is growing evidence that the ability to perceive structure is essential for students' mathematical development. Looking at students' structure sense in basic numerical and patterning tasks seems promising for understanding how these tasks set the foundation for the development of later mathematical skills. Previous studies have shown how…

Sekiguchi, Yasuhiro – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2021
International comparative studies on mathematics teaching and learning often provide unitary and harmonious images of classroom practices. This paper aims to complement those studies by describing the complex aspects of those practices. Adopting activity theory as a framework, this paper considers classroom teaching and learning of mathematics as…

Bicer, Ali; Lee, Yujin; Perihan, Celal; Capraro, Mary M.; Capraro, Robert M. – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2020
The purpose of this study was to reveal both the effects of problem-posing interventions on the mathematical creative ability of students and how students' creative self-efficacy in mathematics was related to their mathematical creative ability. Elementary school students (n = 205) were randomly assigned to one of two groups: problem-posing or…

Street, Karin E. S.; Malmberg, Lars-Erik; Stylianides, Gabriel J. – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2022
Self-efficacy in mathematics is related to engagement, persistence, and academic performance. Prior research focused mostly on examining changes to students' self-efficacy across large time intervals (months or years), and paid less attention to changes at the level of lesson sequences. Knowledge of how self-efficacy changes during a sequence of…

Gvozdic, Katarina; Sander, Emmanuel – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2018
Intuitive conceptions in mathematics guide the interpretation of mathematical concepts. We investigated if they bias teachers' conceptions of student arithmetic word problem solving strategies, which should be part of their pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). In individual interviews, teachers and non-teaching adults were asked to describe…

Roy, Somali; Inglis, Matthew; Alcock, Lara – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2017
This paper presents two studies of an intervention designed to help undergraduates comprehend mathematical proofs. The intervention used multimedia resources that presented proofs with audio commentary and visual animations designed to focus attention on logical relationships. In study 1, students studied an e-Proof or a standard written proof and…

Bouck, Emily C.; Joshi, Gauri S.; Johnson, Linley – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2013
This study assessed if students with and without disabilities used calculators (fourfunction, scientific, or graphing) to solve mathematics assessment problems and whether using calculators improved their performance. Participants were sixth and seventh-grade students educated with either National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded or traditional…

Tarim, Kamuran – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2009
The aim of this study is to investigate the efficiency of cooperative learning on preschoolers' verbal mathematics problem-solving abilities and to present the observational findings of the related processes and the teachers' perspectives about the application of the program. Two experimental groups and one control group participated in the study.…

Tarim, Kamuran; Akdeniz, Fikri – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2008
This study was designed to compare the effects of Team Assisted Individualization (TAI) and Student Teams-Achievement Divisions (STAD) on fourth grade students' academic achievement in and attitudes towards mathematics. Seven classes of a school were randomly selected for this experimental study. Two of these were given instruction through TAI;…

Dahl, Bettina – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2004
The focus is on the metacognitive awareness of ten high-achieving high school pupils in mathematics in Denmark and England and their understanding of their cognitive learning processes and strategies. Mainly unstructured focus group interviews investigate how they explain that they learn a mathematical concept that is new to them. I develop the…

Osterholm, Magnus – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2006
This study compares reading comprehension of three different texts: two mathematical texts and one historical text. The two mathematical texts both present basic concepts of group theory, but one does it using mathematical symbols and the other only uses natural language. A total of 95 upper secondary and university students read one of the…

Castela, Corine – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2004
The aim of the research presented in this paper is to contribute to our knowledge about problem solving in mathematics. My purpose in this paper is to compare, from this point of view, two very different institutions in the French tertiary education system, with the intention to interpret the chronic inequality of performance in problem solving…
