Dilara Yilmaz-Can; Birgül Damla Baber-Elbistan; Seyma Pekgöz; Ceyda Sensin – Online Submission, 2023
The development of students' mathematical problem-solving skills is contingent upon the approaches and methods employed by primary school teachers. This research endeavors to scrutinize the effectiveness of primary school teachers in their roles within the problem-solving process, with particular attention directed toward their inquiry techniques,…

Yogi, Jonathan Kimei – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Jung and Won's (2018) review of elementary school ER found a lack of understanding of instructional practices for ER with young children. Other researchers have called for further studies into what effective classroom orchestration and interaction look like within ER classrooms (Ioannou & Makridou, 2018; Xia & Zhong, 2019). This study was…

Sloman, Sabina J.; Goldstone, Robert L.; Gonzalez, Cleotilde – Cognitive Science, 2021
How do people use information from others to solve complex problems? Prior work has addressed this question by placing people in social learning situations where the problems they were asked to solve required varying degrees of exploration. This past work uncovered important interactions between groups' "connectivity" and the problem's…

Varhol, Astrid; Drageset, Ove Gunnar; Hansen, Monica Nymoen – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2021
This article presents a study of 8th grade students working in groups to solve a task about generalizing patterns. The study aimed to openly explore how progress in mathematical thinking might relate to the discourse. To do this, we first studied both separately. The progress in mathematical thinking was studied by inspecting how the groups…

Pauletti, Katherine V.; Zaslavsky, Orit – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2018
This study explores the progression from student justification to generalization in the course of example-based reasoning. Data was collected through group interviews with high school students who were working collaboratively on a task of determining connections between perimeter and area of tile shaped patterns. The task called for making and…

Maj-Tatsis, Bozena; Tatsis, Konstantinos – Center for Educational Policy Studies Journal, 2018
The present paper examines a patterning activity that was organised within a teaching experiment in order to analyse the different uses of variables by secondary school students. The activity presented in the paper can be categorised as a pictorial/geometric linear pattern. We adopted a student-oriented perspective for our analysis, in order to…

Topping, Keith J.; Trickey, Steve; Cleghorn, Paul – UNESCO International Bureau of Education, 2020
Philosophy for Children (otherwise known as P4C) can help develop cooperative and peer learning and transform them into a method for developing critical and creative thinking skills. The purpose of this booklet is to describe what Philosophy for Children (P4C) is and how to implement it in the classroom. It consists of seven sections, each with a…

Stynes, Martin; Murphy, Timothy; McNamara, Gerry; O'Hara, Joe – Issues in Educational Research, 2018
In this paper, four critical friends meet to discuss qualitative research practices. Together they put one of their own case studies under the knife and deconstruct it to investigate the possibilities that knowledge work is complicated not only by the dynamics of socially constructed enterprises and the actors involved therein, but by the…

Björklund, Camilla – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2018
This is an empirical inquiry concerning children's concept development and early mathematics teaching. The intention is to broaden the understanding of preschool children's perceptions of the concept "half" (as 1 of 2 equal parts of a whole), in designed mathematics teaching settings. Three teachers working with 4-5-year-old children…

Kim, Young Hoon; Spears, Daniel L.; Vargas-Ortega, Elecer E.; Kim, Tae-Hee – International Journal of Sustainability in Higher Education, 2018
Purpose: This paper aims to review the current joint master's program between two international institutions in the USA and Costa Rica; to identify students' perceptions and experiences with the sustainability house (SH); and to apply these experiences in an effort to improve the practical learning environment for future students.…

Zahner, William – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2012
This research report examines how two groups of bilingual algebra students made connections among representations while solving a non-routine generalization problem. Using a socio-cultural orientation to mathematics learning, together with a semiotic lens on students' joint mathematical activity, this report details the type of connections among…

Rupp, Andre A.; Gushta, Matthew; Mislevy, Robert J.; Shaffer, David Williamson – Journal of Technology, Learning, and Assessment, 2010
We are currently at an exciting juncture in developing effective means for assessing so-called 21st-century skills in an innovative yet reliable fashion. One of these avenues leads through the world of "epistemic games" (Shaffer, 2006a), which are games designed to give learners the rich experience of professional practica within a discipline.…

Townsend, Brian E.; Lannin, John K.; Barker, David D. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2009
The NCTM calls for the use of rich tasks that encourage students to apply their own reasoning to problem situations. When students work through algebraic generalization tasks, their reasoning often elicits a variety of strategies (Lannin 2003; Stacey 1989; Swafford and Langrall 2000). Challenges for teachers include facilitating student awareness…

Koellner, Karen; Pittman, Mary; Frykholm, Jeffrey – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2008
This article focuses on the ways in which four eighth-grade girls, each with varying levels of algebraic understanding, share ideas, debate, and gradually move toward generalizations inherent in the "Painted Cube" problem. The intent of this article is to examine how students move to progressive formalization and to provide insights into the ways…
