Oktaç, Asuman; Trigueros, María; Romo, Avenilde – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2019
Certain aspects of theoretical frameworks in mathematics education can remain unexplained in the literature, hence unnoticed by the readers. It is thus interesting to participate in a dialogue where they can be discussed and compared in terms of the aims, objects studied, results and their relation to teaching. This study is focused on how APOS…

Watson, Jane; Fitzallen, Noleine – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2021
Statistical terms are used in everyday language and, at times, used in non-statistical ways. It is often assumed students understand statistical terms because of their common use; however, research into their understanding of specific statistical terms is scant. This report focuses on 58 Year 3 students' responses to the basic question, "What…

Kusmaryono, Imam; Jupriyanto; Kusumaningsih, Widya – European Journal of Educational Research, 2021
This article highlights the main ideas that underlie the differences in potential pragmatic knowledge constructs students experience when solving problems, between the zone of proximal development (ZPD) and the zone of potential construction (ZPC). This qualitative research is based on a phenomenological approach to finding the meaning of things…

Turner, Erin E.; Drake, Corey – Journal of Teacher Education, 2016
Researchers have studied the preparation of elementary teachers to teach mathematics to students from diverse racial, ethnic, and linguistic backgrounds by focusing either on teachers' learning about children's mathematical thinking (CMT) or, less frequently, about children's cultural funds of knowledge (CFoK) related to mathematics. Despite this…

Ligozat, Florence; Leutenegger, Francia – Interchange: A Quarterly Review of Education, 2015
As a research field for studying the conditions of knowledge diffusion in teaching and learning, French-speaking "Didactiques" strongly rely upon the concept of knowledge transposition for characterizing the relationships between the knowledge built and used in "out of school" activities, the knowledge to be taught in the…

Stout, Terra; Dwyer, Jerry; Wilhelm, Jennifer – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2011
Proofs were introduced to high school students by a college mathematician. Student interest and knowledge level were assessed through pre and post tests. There was a significant gain in student knowledge but not in interest. Student learning of proof concepts was clearly displayed, while common errors were often related to lack of algebra skills.…

Osana, Helena P.; Pitsolantis, Nicole – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2013
Background: Although making explicit links between procedures and concepts during instruction in mathematics is important, it is still unclear the precise moments during instruction when such links are best made. Aims: The objective was to test the effectiveness of a 3-week classroom intervention on the fractions knowledge of grade 5/6 students.…

Frade, Cristina – International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2004
In this report we present the methodology used in a study that investigated the tacit-explicit dynamic in learning processes. We have analyzed an episode related to a discussion about the difference between plane figures and spatial figures promoted by the teacher in her mathematics classroom (the students are aged 11 to 12). The data analysis was…

McDiarmid, G. Williamson; Ball, Deborah Loewenberg – 1988
The Teacher Education and Learning to Teach Study of the National Center for Research on Teacher Education combines case studies of teacher education programs with longitudinal studies of teacher learning. In this paper, the development of the theoretical framework on which instrumentation for the longitudinal study is based is discussed.…

Pirie, Susan; Kieren, Thomas – 1991
Given the current and widespread practical interest in mathematical understanding, particularly with respect to higher order thinking skills, curriculum reform advocates in many countries cite the need for teaching mathematics with understanding. However, the characterization of understanding in ways that highlight its growth, as well as the…

Stamper, John, Ed.; Pardos, Zachary, Ed.; Mavrikis, Manolis, Ed.; McLaren, Bruce M., Ed. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2014
The 7th International Conference on Education Data Mining held on July 4th-7th, 2014, at the Institute of Education, London, UK is the leading international forum for high-quality research that mines large data sets in order to answer educational research questions that shed light on the learning process. These data sets may come from the traces…
