Václav Šimandl; Jirí Vanícek; Václav Dobiáš – Informatics in Education, 2025
Research on collaborative learning of computer science has been conducted primarily in programming. This paper extends this area by including short tasks (such as those used in contests like the Bebras Challenge) that cover many other computer science topics. The aim of this research is to explore how problem-solving in pairs differs from…

María Burgos; Nicolás Tizón-Escamilla; Jorhan Chaverri – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2025
This paper describes the design, implementation, and results of a training action with prospective primary education teachers, focusing on the creation of problems involving proportional and algebraic reasoning. Prospective teachers must solve a proportionality problem using both arithmetic and algebraic procedures, and then vary it to motivate…

Janina Krawitz; Stanislaw Schukajlow; Luisa Hartmann – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2025
Problem posing is a promising teaching method for enhancing motivation and performance in mathematics and more specifically in mathematical modelling. Hence, the goals of our study were twofold: (1) to examine the effects of problem posing on modelling performance, self-efficacy, and task values in solving modelling problems, and (2) to analyze…

Demetra Pitta-Pantazi; Maria Chimoni; Constantinos Christou – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2025
This article reports on an empirical study that investigates the way students' performance in solving arithmetical tasks may be related to their performance in solving algebraic tasks. The sample consisted of 203 Grade 6 students. The arithmetical tasks involved arithmetical expressions with known quantities, whereas the algebraic tasks involved…

Kun Huang; Victor Law; Xun Ge; Yan Chen; Ling Hu – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 2025
Information problem solving (IPS) is an important twenty-first century skill, but it is lacking at all age levels. One type of information problem, those of an ill-structured nature that require multiple iterations of (re)defining problems and formulating emerging solutions, can be particularly challenging but have received less attention in the…

Elfriede R. Holstein; Maria Theobald; Leonie S. Weindorf; Garvin Brod – Child Development, 2025
We investigated the role of children's conflict monitoring skills in revising an intuitive scientific theory. Children aged 5 to 9 (N = 177; 53% girls, data collected in Germany from 2019-2023) completed computer-based tasks on water displacement, a concept prone to misconceptions. Children predicted which of two objects would displace more water…

Marek Urban; Kamila Urban – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2025
Creative problem-solving skills are essential for navigating complex, non-routine challenges, enabling individuals to create unique goals, execute innovative procedures and generate original outcomes. While the link between metacognitive skills and the creativity of outcomes was established only recently, further exploration is required to…

Anna C. Strauss; Jenna G. Waggoner; Mhret D. Wondmagegne; Tutita M. Casa – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2025
The authors wondered if there was a way to support their reluctant Grades 4, 5, and 6 students in contributing their starting points and strategies and advancing their collective knowledge. They wanted to ensure that the students had the space to develop and take ownership of the strategies they produced through a visual representation of ideas…

Sterre K. Ruitenburg; Pieter Guldemont; Paul A. Kirschner; Halszka Jarodzka; Gino Camp – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2025
Successful adoption of proven effective practice strategies such as distributed practice may contribute to much-needed improvement in mathematics performance. However, it is not yet fully understood if distributed practice is beneficial for long-term retention of complex procedural knowledge and, if so, for which initial practice performance level…

Maria Nielsen Stewart; Noah Brown; Amber Candela; Samuel Otten; Zandra de Araujo – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2025
The authors developed an instructional nudges as part of a larger research project. These instructional nudges are designed to be small but powerful changes to teachers' existing practices. Some instructional nudges focus on modifying tasks used in classrooms. In this article, the authors share Rate and Review. The goal of Rate and Review is to…

Karen S. Karp; Sarah B. Bush; Barbara J. Dougherty – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2025
Even though there is a great temptation as teachers to share what is known, many are aware of an idea called "rules that expire" (RTE) and have realized the importance of avoiding them. There is evidence that students need to understand mathematical concepts and that merely presenting rules to carry out in a procedural and disconnected…

Zhaojun Duo; Jianan Zhang; Yonggong Ren; Xiaolu Xu – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
"Self-regulated learning" (SRL) significantly impacts the process and outcome of "programming problem-solving." Studies on SRL behavioural patterns of programming students based on trace data are limited in number and lack of coverage. In this study, hence, the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) was employed to probabilistically mine…

Fadime Ulusoy; Hanife Merve Erdogan; Nagihan Haliloglu; Damla Ceren Bakirci – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2025
Mathematization is a critical competency in the modelling process. This study aims to elicit prospective mathematics teachers' mathematizing through the analysis of their solution approaches to a modelling problem related to the bales of straw. This study was conducted with 75 fourth-year prospective mathematics teachers (PMTs) enrolled in a…

William Reid Carlisle; Hyunyi Jung; Megan H. Wickstrom; Kayla Sutcliffe; Hee-jeong Kim – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2025
Although culturally responsive mathematics teaching is important, post-secondary education for preservice teachers (PTs) does not typically lead to learning opportunities for them to use mathematics to recognize the roles of social agents. To address this issue, we created a culturally responsive mathematical modeling task in which we invited PTs…

Jewoong Moon; Fengfeng Ke; Zlatko Sokolikj – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2025
In this exploratory study, we designed and validated game-based performance tasks to assess the development of representational flexibility in autistic adolescents through virtual reality (VR)-based training. Representational flexibility, a critical cognitive ability, involves attention switching, generating representations, and recognizing…
