The authors describe the principles and features of the instructional model, that is suitability for the teaching and learning of complex knowledge…

The paper presents and analyses a sequence of events that preceded an insight solution to a challenging problem in the context of numerical sequences. A three­week long solution process by a pair of ninth­-grade students is analysed by means of the theory of shifts of attention. The goal for this article is to reveal the potential of this theory…

This research study was specifically concerned with the development, testing, and revision to an instructional theory for studying the mathematical concepts of equivalence and equation solving with multiple representations and multiple tools. Following a design research approach, a collaborative teaching experiment was conducted with a ninth-grade…

Educators have noticed students moving from eighth grade middle school programs to ninth grade high school environments encounter difficulties during the first year of the transition. Students who do not successfully transition to high school run the risk of repeating ninth grade, falling behind their peers and possibly dropping out of high…

Previous high school research has highlighted the importance of students' freshman year.
