Saba Gerami – ProQuest LLC, 2024
In this dissertation I explore instructors' work with instructional tasks as they plan to introduce various representations of derivatives. Drawing on the notion of "framing" from sociology, I adopt a situative lens to study calculus instructors' planning of instructional tasks. I rely on Herbst and Chazan's (2012) notion of…

Lonneke Boels; Enrique Garcia Moreno-Esteva; Arthur Bakker; Paul Drijvers – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2024
As a first step toward automatic feedback based on students' strategies for solving histogram tasks we investigated how strategy recognition can be automated based on students' gazes. A previous study showed how students' task-specific strategies can be inferred from their gazes. The research question addressed in the present article is how data…

Staples, Megan; Cavanna, Jillian – Mathematics Teacher Educator, 2021
To support teachers in implementing ambitious reform efforts, professional developers and teacher educators need to know more about teachers' thinking about argumentation. Specifically, there is a need to understand more about teachers' views and evaluations of "students'" mathematical arguments as they play out "in practice."…

Zhou, Yiqiu; Kang, Jina – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2022
The complex and dynamic nature of collaboration makes it challenging to find indicators of productive learning and quality collaboration. This exploratory study developed a collaboration metric to capture temporal patterns of joint attention (JA) based on log files generated as students interacted with an immersive astronomy simulation using…

Niyazova, Guliyash B.; Utemov, Vyacheslav V.; Savina, Tatyana N.; Karavanova, Lyudmila Zh.; Karnaukh, Inessa S.; Zakharova, Valeria L.; Galimova, Elvira G. – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2022
Problems of developing subject education and science have become more acute during different social changes. The most problematic is the teaching of exact disciplines, including mathematical disciplines (mathematics, algebra, geometry), which form knowledge for working in high-tech industries. It is worth noting that the methodology of teaching…

Bossé, Michael J.; Young, Erica Slate; Bayaga, Anass; Lynch-Davis, Kathleen; DeMarte, Ashley M.; Fountain, Catherine – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2020
While one branch of literature is replete with investigations of problem solving and another branch frequently investigates student use of dynamic mathematics environments (DMEs), most of the studies in both of these fields consider whether or not students can solve problems. Far fewer number of studies consider the cognitive processes associated…

Wampfler, Rafael; Emch, Andreas; Solenthaler, Barbara; Gross, Markus – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2020
Front camera data from tablets used in educational settings offer valuable clues to student behavior, attention, and affective state. Due to the camera's angle of view, the face of the student is partially occluded and skewed. This hinders the ability of experts to adequately capture the learning process and student states. In this paper, we…

Oh, Hanna; Beck, Jeffrey M.; Zhu, Pingping; Sommer, Marc A.; Ferrari, Silvia; Egner, Tobias – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016
Much of our real-life decision making is bounded by uncertain information, limitations in cognitive resources, and a lack of time to allocate to the decision process. It is thought that humans overcome these limitations through "satisficing," fast but "good-enough" heuristic decision making that prioritizes some sources of…

Chen, Xingliang; Mitrovic, Antonija; Mathews, Moffat – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2019
Agency refers to the level of control the student has over learning. Most studies on agency in computer-based learning environments have been conducted in the context of educational games and multimedia learning, while there is little research done in the context of learning with Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs). We conducted a study in the…

McGonigle-Chalmers, Maggie; Slater, Hannah; Smith, Ashley – Developmental Psychology, 2014
Private speech utterances (PS) from 24 preschool children and 24 adults were obtained under (noninteracting) listener present and listener absent conditions using 2 tasks with an identical structure. Children produced significantly more PS in the listener present condition. Similar results were obtained with adults, albeit with a reduced incidence…

Peake, Christian; Jiménez, Juan E.; Rodríguez, Cristina; Bisschop, Elaine; Villarroel, Rebeca – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2015
Arithmetic word problem (AWP) solving is a highly demanding task for children with learning disabilities (LD) since verbal and mathematical information have to be integrated. This study examines specifically how syntactic awareness (SA), the ability to manage the grammatical structures of language, affects AWP solving. Three groups of children in…

Vasilyeva, Marina; Ganley, Colleen M.; Casey, Beth M.; Dulaney, Alana; Tillinger, Miriam; Anderson, Karen – Cognition and Instruction, 2013
This study explores changes in students' strategies as they solve different types of volume problems. Fifth graders were presented with pictures showing 3D objects and a unit cube; they determined how many cubes made up the object and explained their responses. We examined whether children transferred strategies across problem types, varying in…

Ngu, Bing Hiong; Yeung, Alexander Seeshing – Contemporary Educational Psychology, 2012
Holyoak and Koh (1987) and Holyoak (1984) propose four critical tasks for analogical transfer to occur in problem solving. A study was conducted to test this hypothesis by comparing a multiple components (MC) approach against worked examples (WE) in helping students to solve algebra word problems in chemistry classes. The MC approach incorporated…

Zazkis, Dov – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2013
This article argues for a shift in how researchers discuss and examine students' uses of representations during their calculus problem solving. An extension of Zazkis, Dubinsky, and Dautermann's (1996) Visualization/Analysis-framework to include physical modes of reasoning is proposed. An example that details how transitions between visual,…

Che, Megan; Wiegert, Elaine; Threlkeld, Karen – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2012
This study examines patterns in middle-grade boys' and girls' written problem solving strategies for a mathematical task involving proportional reasoning. The students participating in this study attend a coeducational charter middle school with single-sex classrooms. One hundred nineteen sixth-grade students' responses are analyzed by gender…
