Samková, Libuše; Rokos, Lukáš; Vízek, Lukáš – Journal on Efficiency and Responsibility in Education and Science, 2021
This contribution belongs to a larger empirical study that focuses on issues related to the implementation of inquiry-based learning and formative assessment in science and mathematics education, while it also refers to the issue of STEM education. Here, we discuss the two topics from the perspective of professional preparation of primary school…

Siegler, Robert S.; Im, Soo-hyun; Schiller, Lauren K.; Tian, Jing; Braithwaite, David W. – Grantee Submission, 2020
Children's failure to reason often leads to their mathematical performance being shaped by spurious associations from problem input and overgeneralization of inapplicable procedures rather than by whether answers and procedures make sense. In particular, imbalanced distributions of problems, particularly in textbooks, lead children to create…

Eisenmann, Petr; Pribyl, Jirí; Novotná, Jarmila – Journal on Efficiency and Responsibility in Education and Science, 2019
The paper describes one problem solving strategy -- the Use of false assumption. The objective of the paper is to show, in accordance with Phylogenesis and Ontogenesis Theory, that it is worthwhile to reiterate the process of development of the concept of a variable and thus provide to pupils one of the ways helping them to eliminate usual…

Smith, Carol L.; Solomon, Gregg E. A.; Carey, Susan – Cognitive Psychology, 2005
Clinical interviews administered to third- to sixth-graders explored children's conceptualizations of rational number and of certain extensive physical quantities. We found within child consistency in reasoning about diverse aspects of rational number. Children's spontaneous acknowledgement of the existence of numbers between 0 and 1 was strongly…

Jordan, Valerie Barnes; Jensen, C. Mark – 1979
Previous research has indicated that correlations between Piagetian and psychometric tests and chronological age are influenced by the size of the age range of the sample groups. To examine whether the size of the age range and mean age are related to the size of the correlations between Piagetian and arithmetic tests, Spearman rank-order…
