Computational Thinking Practices as Tools for Creating High Cognitive Demand Mathematics Instruction
Peer reviewed
Direct linkKathryn M. Rich; Aman Yadav; Charles J. Fessler – Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education, 2024
One characteristic of high-quality mathematics teaching is supporting students in engaging in tasks of high cognitive demand. In this paper, we explore relationships between two elementary teachers' efforts to integrate computational thinking (CT) practices--abstraction, debugging, and decomposition--into their mathematics instruction and their…

Caddick, Zachary A.; Fraundorf, Scott H.; Rottman, Benjamin M.; Nokes-Malach, Timothy J. – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2023
Over the course of training, physicians develop significant knowledge and expertise. We review dual-process theory, the dominant theory in explaining medical decision making: physicians use both heuristics from accumulated experience (System 1) and logical deduction (System 2). We then discuss how the accumulation of System 1 clinical experience…

Chen Li; Noelle M. Suntheimer; Drew H. Bailey; Sharon Wolf – Grantee Submission, 2025
Children's early skills are strong predictors of later learning outcomes. Research aiming to disentangle the causal effects of early skills from unmeasured, stable characteristics related to learning throughout development demonstrates that unmeasured confounders explain a large portion of the effects of early skills previously identified. To…

Bryan Goodwin; Kristin Rouleau – McREL International, 2024
Why does some professional development fall flat, while others resonate with teachers and make a real difference? How can professional learning be made better and lead to lasting changes in teacher practice? Schools and districts can get more out of their investment in professional learning for teachers (and principals) by creating PD systems,…
