Loc, Nguyen Phu; Tong, Duong Huu; Chau, Phan Thai – Educational Research and Reviews, 2017
In Vietnam, primary school students explicitly learn the concept of fraction in Grade 4 and 5. Because this concept is introduced to them intuitionally, it is difficult for them to understand and apply it. Base on this point, we believe that the students will commit many errors when solving exercises related to this concept. The survey of 478…

Verleger, Matthew A.; Rodgers, Kelsey J.; Diefes-Dux, Heidi A. – Journal of Engineering Education, 2016
Background: Students conducting peer review on open-ended problem solutions require training. For that training, the selection of training examples is critical. Purpose: This study explored how the characteristics of five example solutions used in training and their associated expert evaluations affected students' abilities to score peer team…

Wibawa, Kadek Adi; Nusantara, Toto; Subanji; Parta, I. Nengah – International Education Studies, 2017
This study aims to reveal the fragmentation of thinking structure's students in solving the problems of application definite integral in area. Fragmentation is a term on the computer (storage) that is highly relevant correlated with theoretical constructions that occur in the human brain (memory). Almost every student has a different way to…

Rich, Kathryn M.; Yadov, Aman; Zhu, Marissa – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2019
Moving among levels of abstraction is an important skill in mathematics and computer science, and students show similar difficulties when applying abstraction in each discipline. While computer science educators have examined ways to explicitly teach students how to consciously navigate levels of abstraction, these ideas have not been explored in…

Hallinen, Nicole R.; Booth, Julie L. – Grantee Submission, 2018
5th graders (n=527) were randomly assigned to self-explain worked examples (WE) or solve problems during a yearlong study. WE students learned more algebra skills when given algebra worked examples on an end-of-year transfer measure. Comparing attempts, conceptual, and mechanical correctness by condition, results demonstrated that the condition…

Chitpin, Stephanie – International Journal of Educational Management, 2017
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to illustrate how associationism mistakenly assumes that direct experience is possible; that is, there is expectation-free observation and association without prior expectation. Thus, associationism assumes that learning involves the absorption of information from the environment itself. However, contrary…

Mughaz, Dror; Cohen, Michael; Mejahez, Sagit; Ades, Tal; Bouhnik, Dan – Interdisciplinary Journal of e-Skills and Lifelong Learning, 2020
Aim/Purpose: Using Artificial Intelligence with Deep Learning (DL) techniques, which mimic the action of the brain, to improve a student's grammar learning process. Finding the subject of a sentence using DL, and learning, by way of this computer field, to analyze human learning processes and mistakes. In addition, showing Artificial Intelligence…

Tan Sisman, Gulcin; Aksu, Meral – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2016
The purpose of the present study was to portray students' misconceptions and errors while solving conceptually and procedurally oriented tasks involving length, area, and volume measurement. The data were collected from 445 sixth grade students attending public primary schools in Ankara, Türkiye via a test composed of 16 constructed-response…

Braithwaite, David W.; Pyke, Aryn A.; Siegler, Robert S. – Grantee Submission, 2017
Many children fail to master fraction arithmetic even after years of instruction, a failure that hinders their learning of more advanced mathematics as well as their occupational success. To test hypotheses about why children have so many difficulties in this area, we created a computational model of fraction arithmetic learning and presented it…

Casey, Stephanie; Lesseig, Kristin; Monson, Debra; Krupa, Erin E. – Mathematics Teacher Education and Development, 2018
This study examined proposed teacher responses to students' work to investigate how they respond, what characteristics of a good response are more difficult than others to achieve, and whether particular student error types are more difficult to respond to appropriately. Sixteen preservice secondary mathematics teachers' proposed responses to five…

Ulrychová, Eva – Journal on Efficiency and Responsibility in Education and Science, 2016
The article analyses the test results evaluating the knowledge of students of basic mathematics courses at the University of Economics in Prague and at the University of Finance and Administration in Prague. The relationships between the study of the theory, the ability to formulate definitions and to solve exercises are analysed based on the…

Aksoy, Nuri Can; Yazlik, Derya Ozlem – Journal of Education and Training Studies, 2017
In this study, it was aimed to determine the errors and misunderstandings of 5th and 6th grade middle school students in fractions and operations with fractions. For this purpose, the case study model, which is a qualitative research design, was used in the research. In the study, maximum diversity sampling, which is a purposeful sampling method,…

Cho, Peter; Nagle, Courtney – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2017
This study extends past research on students' understanding of slope by analyzing college students' mistakes on routine tasks involving slope. We conduct quantitative and qualitative analysis of students' mistakes to extract information regarding slope conceptualizations described in prior research. Results delineate procedural proficiencies and…

Laski, Elida V.; Schiffman, Joanna; Vasilyeva, Marina; Ermakova, Anna – AERA Open, 2016
This study investigated income group differences in kindergartners' and first graders' (N = 161) arithmetic by examining the link between accuracy and strategy use on simple and complex addition problems. Low-income children were substantially less accurate than high-income children, in terms of both percentage of correctly solved problems and the…

Metcalfe, Janet – Grantee Submission, 2017
Although error avoidance during learning appears to be the rule in American classrooms, laboratory studies suggest that it may be a counterproductive strategy, at least for neurologically typical students. Experimental investigations indicate that errorful learning followed by corrective feedback is beneficial to learning. Interestingly, the…
