Background/purpose: This study analyzes the commognition of students with low Working Memory Capacity (WMC) when solving calculus problems, particularly in integral material. Commognition, which merges cognition and communication, is explored through four indicators: keywords (stating knowns and unknowns), visual mediators (graphical…

High school teachers often encounter incorrect solutions from students, especially when teaching combinatorics. This study investigates the ability of prospective mathematics teachers to assess the correctness of solutions to combinatorial problems and to falsify incorrect ones. 39 second-year prospective teachers participated in the experiment,…

Preschool teachers' questioning is an important part of the teaching and learning process as questions can drive children's thinking (Nappi 2017). As one of the most common pedagogical tasks in preschool, storytelling has the potential to bring the world to the classroom using imagined or real stories. However, to date, there is limited knowledge…

The integration of management education with information technology tools, such as simulation games and business analysis platforms, is playing an increasingly important role in developing students' decision-making skills as well as earn and acquire best business practices. It is particularly useful to test the didactic process effectiveness by…

Interdisciplinary complex problem-solving relies on psychologically safe teamwork where individuals feel confident to speak up with unique knowledge, or voice dissent. Existing studies on psychological safety (PS) have mainly concentrated on developing diagnostic tools and categorising the antecedents to psychologically safe interactions in…

This study examines the influence of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education on nurturing creativity and innovation among middle school students in Pakistan. A total of 164 students participating in diverse STEM programs nationwide provided data through a comprehensive questionnaire addressing demographics, perceptions,…

The main purpose of this study was to test the effects of word-problem (WP) intervention, with versus without embedded language comprehension (LC) instruction, on at-risk 1st graders' WP performance. We also isolated the need for a structured approach to WP intervention and tested the efficacy of schema-based instruction at 1st grade. Children (n…

This systematic review provides a synthesis of intervention research that taught mathematical word problem solving skills to students with autism spectrum disorder between 1975 and April of 2020 by evaluating the body of research in terms of "what works", "for whom" and "under what conditions". The Council for…

Schematic chunks denote patterns, schemes, or sophisticated rules and knowledge stored in the long-term memory in the form of chunks. We investigated whether schematic chunking is effective in improving the performance of students with math difficulties (MD) and students at risk of math failure, and how the complexity level of geometry problems…

This activity provides opportunities for middle school students to design bio-inspired, eco-friendly vehicles. Twenty-four 8th grade students (12 girls, 12 boys) engaged in the activity which was implemented in four class periods, 40 minutes each, in an elective Environmental Education course. During the activity, students engaged in engineering…

The aim of this study is to examine the semantic structures used by mathematics teacher candidates to transform algebraic expressions into verbal problems. The research is a descriptive study in the survey model, which is one of the quantitative research types. The study group of the research consists of 165 teacher candidates studying in the…

The purpose of this study was to support the development of mathematics and self-determination skills of young adults with extensive support needs. Mathematical problem solving is a natural context for teaching two component skills of self-determination: self-monitoring and goal setting. Three young adults with extensive support needs (i.e.,…

The 3-Step Charrette problem-solving methodology turns the classroom into a consulting firm. It trains participants to solve complex, real-world problems cooperatively and systematically. Participants identify needed information and perform several research cycles in teams to gain knowledge to examine the root causes of a presented problem.…

Although existing literature suggests that teachers perceive, mobilize, and leverage resources to support ambitious instruction, less is known about how teachers and students jointly take up resources for co-constructing scientific knowledge. This study examines how teachers and students utilize aspects of practice-oriented curriculum materials…

In this study, it is primarily aimed to determine the qualities of the problems posed by the students in a mathematics class delivered through the problem-posing approach and to examine the mean scores of the students obtained from these qualifications. The linear equations topic at the seventh grade was taught using the problem-posing approach.…
