Sang-June Park; Youjae Yi – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2024
Previous research explicates ordinal and disordinal interactions through the concept of the "crossover point." This point is determined via simple regression models of a focal predictor at specific moderator values and signifies the intersection of these models. An interaction effect is labeled as disordinal (or ordinal) when the…

Holenstein, Mathias; Bruckmaier, Georg; Grob, Alexander – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
Background: According to the self-enhancement perspective, self-efficacy and self-concept are shaped by prior achievement and have a crucial impact on future development. Their role in improving performance on challenging tasks, such as mathematical modelling (i.e., solving realistic problems mathematically), has barely been studied. Aims: We…

Asempapa, Reuben S. – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2022
Mathematical modeling has been positioned at the forefront of many educational levels globally because modeling reinforces purposeful problem-solving skills, connects mathematics to the real-world, and makes mathematics more meaningful and relevant. This article investigated K-12 practicing teachers' knowledge and attitudes toward mathematical…

Van Appel, Vaughan; Durandt, Rina – Perspectives in Education, 2019
This article reports on the results of an investigation of the predictive accuracy of five different mathematical models to identify at-risk students in a Business Statistics course. Low levels of students' success, especially in mathematics-related subjects such as statistics, are a salient problem in South Africa and other countries. Statistical…

Obasi, Chinedu; Ugo, Chima – Online Submission, 2018
Students' mathematics achievements in secondary school have an influential effect on their performance in university and their future careers. There are numerous innovative teaching strategies which are promising and have shown to improve students' achievement in mathematics; one will wonder if there will be corresponding achievement growth in…

Saadati, Farzaneh; Cerda, Gamal; Giaconi, Valentina; Reyes, Cristian; Felmer, Patricio – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2019
This study was designed to examine predictors of instructional beliefs related to problem solving that influence mathematics in-service teachers' practices in the Chilean context. A total of 713 in-service mathematics teachers from various elementary schools participated in the survey study during 2015 and 2016. Results showed that teachers'…

Novak, Elena; Daday, Jerry; McDaniel, Kerrie – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2018
This empirical study used Keller's (Technol Instr Cogn Learn 16:79-104, 2008b) motivation, volition, and performance (MVP) theory to develop and statistically evaluate a mathematical MVP model that can serve as a research and policy tool for evaluating students' learning experiences in digital environments. Specifically, it explored undergraduate…

Swinson, Ronnie; Clark, Aaron C.; Ernst, Jeremy V.; Sutton, Kevin – Technology and Engineering Teacher, 2016
Today's engineers, designers, and technologists are often thrust into the role of problem solver, from the initial design phase of a product or process all the way to final development. Many engineers in manufacturing environments are tasked with solving problems and continuously improving processes to enhance company profitability, efficiency,…

Langston, Randall; Wyant, Robert; Scheid, Jamie – Strategic Enrollment Management Quarterly, 2016
Both an art and a science, enrollment projections have become a major component to effective college and university fiscal planning. With stagnant or declining state budget support for public higher education along with an increasing emphasis on revenue generation, never before has predicting the size of an entering class become more imperative.…

Schwerdtfeger, Sara – ProQuest LLC, 2017
This study examined the differences in knowledge of mathematical modeling between a group of elementary preservice teachers and a group of elementary inservice teachers. Mathematical modeling has recently come to the forefront of elementary mathematics classrooms because of the call to add mathematical modeling tasks in mathematics classes through…

Träff, Ulf; Skagerlund, Kenny; Olsson, Linda; Östergren, Rickard – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2017
Background: Developing sufficient mathematical skills is a prerequisite to function adequately in society today. Given this, an important task is to increase our understanding regarding the cognitive mechanisms underlying young people's acquisition of early number skills and formal mathematical knowledge. Aims: The purpose was to examine whether…

Ivrendi, Asiye – European Early Childhood Education Research Journal, 2016
Peer play provides ample opportunities for the use and development of self-regulatory and mathematical skills. This study aimed at examining whether children's engagement in solitary low-level play, interactive play and competent play influences their self-regulatory and number sense skills. The effect of demographic variables and children's…
