Xiaowei Tang; David Hammer – Science Education, 2024
How anthropomorphic reasoning functions in scientific thinking has been a controversial topic. There is evidence it is problematic as well as evidence it can play productive roles, for scientists and for students. In science education, however, the prevailing view remains that it is an impediment. For this study, we have chosen examples of what we…

Lois George; Chronoula Voutsina – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2024
The paper presents findings from a study that examined, through the lens of the Image Having layer of the Pirie-Kieren model, the qualitative characteristics of the images that different children formed when engaging with eight, novel partitive quotient tasks. The Image Having layer is the first point of abstraction within the Pirie-Kieren model.…

Pramudiani, Puri; Herman, Tatang; Turmudi; Dolk, Maarten; Doorman, Michiel – Journal on Mathematics Education, 2022
Understanding of fractions is difficult for Indonesian students. This often leads to misinterpretation in solving fractional problems. In this study, a task aiming at identifying students' struggles in understanding the basic concept of part-whole relationships in fractions was developed and tested with six 4th-grade students. The task uses…

Jiqing Sun; Xinghua Sun; Max Stephens – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2024
An understanding of the equal sign is a fundamental concept for early algebra. While literature claimed that Chinese students commonly master the relational understanding of the equal sign in the elementary school, these claims are under-researched. This study used the Mathematics Equivalence Assessment with 237 Chinese Grade 5 students. The…

Christian T. Doabler; Ben Clarke; Jessica E. Turtura; Marah Sutherland; Jenna A. Gersib; Taylor Lesner; Madison Cook; Georgia L. Kimmel; Keith Smolkowski; Derek Kosty – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2024
Conceptual replications are part and parcel of education science. Methodologically rigorous conceptual replication studies permit researchers to test and strengthen the generalizability of a study's initial findings. The current conceptual replication sought to replicate the efficacy of a small-group, first-grade mathematics intervention with 240…

Erell Germia – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Angle measurement is a significant topic in almost all areas of mathematics learning and also in many disciplines outside mathematics education, such as engineering and architecture. According to the literature, there are three common conceptions of angles--as union of rays, rotations, and wedges. Researchers argued that students must consider…

Jane Hubbard; Hannah Marino – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2023
For students to develop adequate conceptual understanding about fractions, they require experiences that afford them opportunities to think flexibly about multiple interpretations of fractions. This article presents a sequence of lessons designed to offer such experiences for students in Years 3 and Year 4. The lessons adopt a challenging tasks…

Emma Browning; Jill Hohenstein – Review of Education, 2024
Narrative is fundamental to human thought, yet in many classrooms, expository texts are commonly used to support learning in content-based subjects, such as history. Given the importance of narrative, it might be harnessed as a powerful tool to support learning. This research compares the impact of narrative nonfiction (NNF) and expository text…

Tu, Xintian; Danish, Joshua; Humburg, Megan; Zhou, Mengxi; Mathayas, Nitasha; Enyedy, Noel; Jen, Tessaly – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2023
While there is increased interest in using movement and embodiment to support learning due to the rise in theories of embodied cognition and learning, additional work needs to be done to explore how we can make sense of students collectively developing their understanding within a mixed-reality environment. In this paper, we explore embodied…

Xiu Wen Tay; Tin Lam Toh; Lu Pien Cheng – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
A research project on using comics for teaching mathematics was initiated in one Singapore primary school. One class of Grade 5 (students of age 11-12) students was exposed to comics for mathematics instruction. This paper reports a case study of seven students' perception of the features of the comics instructional package and how these features…
