Stein Dankert Kolstø; Matthias G. Stadler – Science Education, 2025
This study contributes to discussions on facilitating students' sense-making in science by analyzing the utterances of high-achieving students in dialogues during practical work and identifying characteristics of their language use and learning processes. The context of the study is a general science course at an upper secondary school in Norway.…

Samuel Kenney; Forster D. Ntow – SAGE Open, 2024
This article uses the concurrent mixed methods design to explore the errors made by 171 Grade Seven learners in algebraic problem-solving within the Assin Central Municipality in Ghana. The participants were categorized into low-achieving and high-achieving groups based on their performance in a pretest, to help provide a detailed examination of…

Jegede, Philip Olu; Olajubu, Emmanuel Ajayi; Ejidokun, Adekunle Olugbenga; Elesemoyo, Isaac Oluwafemi – Journal of Information Technology Education: Innovations in Practice, 2019
Aim/Purpose: The study examined types of errors made by novice programmers in different Java concepts with students of different ability levels in programming as well as the perceived causes of such errors. Background: To improve code writing and debugging skills, efforts have been made to taxonomize programming errors and their causes. However,…

Vermeulen, Jorine A.; Béguin, Anton; Scheltens, Floor; Eggen, Theo J. H. M. – Assessment in Education: Principles, Policy & Practice, 2020
Learning to solve subtraction problems that require borrowing (e.g., 83-57=) is challenging, and these problems often cause 'bridging' errors, such as the smaller-from-larger error. This study explores how bridging errors in subtraction are related to students' mathematical ability. The study involved 694 third-grade students and 35 teachers from…

Bohlmann, Carol A.; Prince, Robert N.; Deacon, Andrew – Pythagoras, 2017
When the National Benchmark Tests (NBTs) were first considered, it was suggested that the results would assess entry-level students' academic and quantitative literacy, and mathematical competence, assess the relationships between higher education entry-level requirements and school-level exit outcomes, provide a service to higher education…

Rodrigo, Ma. Mercedes T.; Andallaza, Thor Collin S.; Castro, Francisco Enrique Vicente G.; Armenta, Marc Lester V.; Dy, Thomas T.; Jadud, Matthew C. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2013
In this article we quantitatively and qualitatively analyze a sample of novice programmer compilation log data, exploring whether (or how) low-achieving, average, and high-achieving students vary in their grasp of these introductory concepts. High-achieving students self-reported having the easiest time learning the introductory programming…

Bautista, Debbie; Mitchelmore, Michael; Mulligan, Joanne – Educational Psychology, 2009
Young Filipino children are expected to solve mathematical word problems in English, which is not their mother tongue. Because of this, it is often assumed that Filipino children have difficulties in solving problems because they cannot read or comprehend what they have read. This study tested this assumption by determining whether presenting word…

Alimi, Modupe M. – Language, Culture and Curriculum, 2007
What syntactic patterns emerge in students' use of articles and modals? What are the reasons for these patterns? What implications do the findings of the study have for English language instruction in Botswana? Exactly 1556 essays comprising class assignments, written seminar presentations, test papers and examination scripts from 514 randomly…

Richardson, Arthur; O'Brien, Peter – 1987
The study was undertaken to investigate the errors made by high and low achievers in a mathematics test administered to students in their second year of high school. The focus of the study was to determine whether any common error types existed within or between the two groups or whether there were error strategies which differed between the two…
