Asselman, Amal; Khaldi, Mohamed; Aammou, Souhaib – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
Performance Factors Analysis (PFA) is considered one of the most important Knowledge Tracing (KT) approaches used for constructing adaptive educational hypermedia systems. It has shown a high prediction accuracy against many other KT approaches. While, the desire to estimate more accurately the student level leads researchers to enhance PFA by…

Teachers' Conceptions of Mathematics and Students' Achievement: A Cross-Cultural Study Based on Results from TIMSS.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Philippou, George N.; Christou, Constantinos – Studies in Educational Evaluation, 1999
Studied the interpretation of mathematics in terms of algorithmic or coherent views of 1,287 teachers from 12 countries using responses to items from the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). Teachers from four high-achieving Asian countries were more likely to see mathematics as algorithmic than were teachers from four…

The Effects of Calculator versus Conventional Algorithms for Fractions on Community College Student Computation, Understanding, and Attitude Scores.
Hector, Judith H. – 1980
Three different methods of teaching fraction computation were compared using community college student scores on measures of fraction computation, fraction understanding, and attitude towards mathematics. One method used conventional algorithms; the second, a control for the effect of using a calculator, used conventional algorithms and…

Wiles, Clyde – 1976
Two questions were investigated in this study: (1) How did the computational proficiency of sixth graders who had one year's experience with Developing Mathematical Processes (DMP) materials compare with an equivalent group of students who used the usual textbook program; and (2) What occurs when sixth graders study algorithms as sequences of rule…

The Nature of Student Interactions during Peer Tutoring with and without Prior Training and Experience.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Fuchs, Lynn S.; And Others – American Educational Research Journal, 1994
Effects of previous training and experience in peer tutoring on student interactions were studied for 16 elementary school classes. Student dyads with experience and training in peer tutoring provided more interactional explanations and incorporated sounder instructional principles. In both situations, student explanations tended to be algorithmic…

Anderson, Lorin W.; And Others – 1978
Clinchy and Rosenthal's error classification scheme was applied to test results to determine its ability to differentiate the effectiveness of instruction in two elementary schools. Mathematics retention tests matching the instructional objectives of both schools were constructed to measure the understanding of arithmetic concepts and the ability…
