Parnika Bhatia; Jessica Léone; Marie-Line Gardes; Jérôme Prado – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2024
Fractions are challenging for both typically achieving children and adults. Although some prior research has focused on fraction difficulties of children with mathematics difficulties (MD), persistent difficulties encountered by adults with MD remain unknown. It is possible that these adults may be able to compensate for some deficits. In this…

Topic Specificity of Students' Conceptual and Procedural Fraction Knowledge and Its Impact on Errors
Katja Lenz; Frank Reinhold; Gerald Wittmann – Research in Mathematics Education, 2024
When learning about fractions, teaching usually follows certain topics -- e.g. part of the whole, fraction equivalence, and size comparison. Not yet answered is whether students' conceptual and procedural knowledge of fractions is coherent between those topics. To answer this question, we performed a latent profile analysis of data from N = 1005…

Sükrü Ilgün; Solmaz Damla Gedik Altun; Alper Cihan Konyalioglu – Educational Policy Analysis and Strategic Research, 2023
The aim of this study is to examine the ability of pre-service mathematics teachers to detect errors made in solving questions about matrices. The study particularly focused on revealing the internalization of the teachings such as the meanings and relational dimensions of concepts and operations about matrix. The study was conducted with 26…

Yue Zhang; Max Stephens; Xiaomei Liu – Asia-Pacific Journal of Teacher Education, 2024
The study aimed to establish an assessment model for mathematics teachers' knowledge of students' misconceptions in the "Space and Shape" domain, develop the testing tool, investigate and analyse the overall and differences in performance, and propose suggestions for improvement. The assessment model included content knowledge and…

Altun, Solmaz Damla Gedik – Shanlax International Journal of Education, 2022
The teacher must, first of all, have a good knowledge of mathematics to detect the errors in the student's mathematical knowledge and to identify the general situation in the classroom. This depends on the mathematical knowledge gained in the teacher training schools. General mathematics topics occupying an important place in the departments of…

Analisa Fitria; Subanji; Susiswo; Hery Susanto – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2023
This study diagnoses and explores year eight students' misconceptions and mistakes in algebra. An in-depth exploration of students' misconceptions were carried out by conducting interviews based on the students' work as outlined in a cognitive map. Based on the cognitive maps, it can be seen that the students emphasize procedural knowledge rather…

Angela Elisabeth Stott – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Presenters' pedagogical choices are strongly affected by whether they view knowledge as coherent or fragmented. This mixed-methods survey study seeks to contribute to epistemological discussions and associated pedagogical suggestions in the context of mole ratio related mistakes evident in stoichiometry calculations performed by in-service…

Frinz Adrian O. Valdez; Eduard C. Taganap – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2024
Mathematics proficiency in the Philippines is a persistent concern, seen by many as a sign of an educational crisis. Teachers are responsible for improving learning outcomes in any discipline, including math. Thus, the study intended to conduct an error analysis of verbal problems among pre-service mathematics teachers. The researcher employed…

Atabek-Yigit, Elif; Senoz, Ahmet Burak – Pedagogies: An International Journal, 2023
Students' recognition of the common procedural mistakes in the chemistry laboratory was examined in this study. Data were collected from 49 undergraduates studying Science Teaching. A video in which a student is purposefully making common procedural mistakes was shown to the students, and they were asked to recognize the mistakes. A Written…

Marga Stander; Hazel Sivell – Sign Language Studies, 2025
This article aims to identify common errors made by hearing students learning South African Sign Language (SASL) and enhance the understanding of language acquisition in this context. The researchers formulated three hypotheses, attributing errors to vocabulary gaps, misunderstandings due to improper signing, and the dual impact of spoken and…

James Coburn; Simon Borg – European Journal of Teacher Education, 2024
The national 'Competence for Quality' in-service programme in Norway aims to enhance the subject knowledge and instructional competences of primary and secondary school teachers across subjects. The programme is evaluated annually through a teacher survey which, however, does not capture in depth how the programme impacts on participants. This…

Abu-Ghazalah, Rashid M.; Dubins, David N.; Poon, Gregory M. K. – Applied Measurement in Education, 2023
Multiple choice results are inherently probabilistic outcomes, as correct responses reflect a combination of knowledge and guessing, while incorrect responses additionally reflect blunder, a confidently committed mistake. To objectively resolve knowledge from responses in an MC test structure, we evaluated probabilistic models that explicitly…

Tutak, Tayfun; Süzen, Ahmet Burak; Inan, Ibrahim Enam – Participatory Educational Research, 2020
The aim of this study is to determine the mistakes made by secondary school mathematics teachers in the operation priority (Order-of-Operations) and to offer solutions to these problems. The research, which is conducted during 2018-2019 academic year in the central district of Elazig and is limited to fifteen mathematics teachers who had different…

Rodriguez, Nuria; Acha, Joana – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2022
This study presents the results of a cross-sectional reading and spelling assessment conducted among 118 Spanish children in 3rd, 4th and 5th grade. The first aim was to explore whether children's use of orthographic knowledge was modulated by lexical variables--word frequency and orthographic neighborhood--or sublexical…

Joye, Nelly; Broc, Lucie; Marshall, Chloë Ruth; Dockrell, Julie Elizabeth – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: This study offers the first description of misspellings across elementary school using the Phonological, Orthographic and Morphological Assessment of Spelling (POMAS), a linguistic framework based on Triple Word Form theory, adapted for French (POMAS-FR). It aims to test the "universality" of POMAS and its suitability to track…
