Afsaneh Famildardashti; Madhyazhagan Ganesan; Dorothy DeWitt – Malaysian Online Journal of Educational Sciences, 2024
Mathematics learning presents significant challenges for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study delves into the difficulties faced by ASD students in a private school in learning mathematics, according to the perspectives of teachers and parents. A qualitative study was conducted using semi-structured interviews with three…

Marotta, Sebastian M.; Hargis, Jace – PRIMUS, 2011
In this article, we present a large list of low-threshold active teaching methods categorized so the instructor can efficiently access and target the deployment of conceptually based lessons. The categories include teaching strategies for lecture on large and small class sizes; student action individually, in pairs, and groups; games; interaction…

Riera, Karla Rene – ProQuest LLC, 2013
Though the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 requires secondary students with Asperger's syndrome (AS) to take high-stakes mathematical tests, many students with AS exhibit weaknesses in mathematical and executive functioning skills. The purpose of this mixed-methods case study was to explore the use of differentiated mathematical strategies with…

Xiong, Ia Vang – ProQuest LLC, 2010
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of information processing and cognitive learning instructional strategies that were succinctly prescribed, scripted, and followed through in the Beyond the Basic Facts math program, which was uniformly implemented in a large, urban school district in the Central Valley of California in…

Yackel, Erna; Wheatley, Grayson H. – 1985
This study investigated the problem representations formed by college students while solving mathematics problems. Problem representation characteristics indicative of understanding were identified by analyzing audio-tapes and written work of sixteen subjects, ages 16 to 24, who solved mathematics problems using the think-aloud technique. These…

Laudato, Nicholas C.; Roman, Richard A. – 1975
A computer-based curricular package was developed to teach elementary school students to solve arithmetic word problems and to teach problem solving skills applicable to situations not involving word problems. An information processing model for solving word problems was used to sequence the problems. Pilot test results with five students…

Lester, Frank K., Jr., Ed.; Garofalo, Joe, Ed. – 1982
This set of papers was originally developed for a conference on Issues and Directions in Mathematics Problem Solving Research held at Indiana University in May 1981. The purpose is to contribute to the clear formulation of the key issues in mathematical problem-solving research by presenting the ideas of actively involved researchers. An…

Greer, Brian, Ed.; Verschaffel, Lieven, Ed. – International Journal of Educational Research, 1990
Five papers discuss the current and potential contributions of information-processing theory to our understanding of mathematical thinking as those contributions affect the practice of mathematics education. It is concluded that information-processing theories need to be supplemented in various ways to more adequately reflect the complexity of…

Carry, L. Ray; And Others – 1979
The investigation reported is primarily a description of how college students solve or fail to solve algebra equations. Protocols were collected from two groups of college students; one group was expected to be good solvers, the other group contained many poor solvers. The investigators sought to identify and classify the difficulties students…

Shulman, Lee S.; Shroyer, Janet – 1978
Since the mid-1960s a new approach has dominated American research in the area of mathematics education -- information-processing theory. The author examines several examples of research in this new tradition and sketches the general features of an emerging information-processing psychology of teaching. Information-processing studies that employ…

Mason, Emanuel J.; And Others – Instructional Science, 1983
These papers presented at a symposium describe how tenth grade students would be taught the slope of a line in geometry using three different approaches to teaching theory: behaviorism, Piagetian cognitive development, and information processing. Analyses of each approach focus on manner of learner cooperation and differing teacher role. (MBR)

Wagner, Sigrid, Ed.; And Others – 1981
The papers contained in this document were originally presented at the May 1978 conference on Modeling Mathematical Cognitive Development sponsored by the Models of Learning Mathematics Working Group of the Georgia Center for the Study of Learning and Teaching Mathematics. Most have been revised to reflect comments and suggestions made at the…

Higgins, Jon L., Ed. – 1980
Presented are abstracts of 14 research reports. Topics covered include: (1) the effects of games on mathematics skills and concepts; (2) the use of problem-solving heuristics in the playing of games involving mathematics; (3) sex differences in electing mathematics; (4) the origins of sex differences in high school mathematics achievement and…

Orton, Robert E. – 1988
Examined is the notion of "representation" as it is used in mathematics education. The first section explains what appears to the current "received view" of representation within mathematics education. The second section describes the constructivist view of representation, especially as this view is related to Piaget's theory. The third section…

McKnight, Curtis C. – 1979
The focus of this paper is on the use of frames in achieving understanding of learning and problem solving in school mathematics. The paper seeks to illustrate the use that has been made of frames and frame-like conceptions and to add to the case for the usefulness of such conceptions. Results reported are: (1) those related to more sequential…
