The abstractness of the chemistry concept can be understood easily through chemistry learning using multiple representations. This article used the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method to review eleven articles published from 2012 to 2021 and focused on chemistry learning using various representations. The articles are systematically obtained…

Investigates whether distinctions in cognitive structures between formal and concrete operational students effect their ability to produce an accurate cognitive structure, retain geometric content, and retain cognitive structures. Concludes that clear structures can be derived for the students. (Author/YP)

A study was conducted in Israel to determine effects of external similarity in problem structure on students' responses. Fifty students from each of the 7th, 8th, 10th, and 12th grade levels were presented with three problems involving successive divisions that were similar in structure. The problems asked separately whether the processes of…

Describes how an eight year old devised a part-whole schema during a school mathematics process involving the development of a geometric model to conceptualize fractions. Provides examples that utilize this schema in dealing with the relative size of fractions, as well as addition and subtraction, multiplication, and division of fractions.…

The main thesis of the paper is that geometry deals with mental entities (the so-called geometrical figures) which possess simultaneously conceptual and figural characters. The paper analyzes the internal tensions which may arise in figural concepts because of their double nature, developmental aspects, and didactical implications. (Author/MDH)

Utilizing geometric topics as examples, this article describes the uses of concept maps specific to the evaluation of teaching outcomes, the monitoring of student progress, and the introduction of learning activities, particularly the initiation of classroom discourse to encourage students to articulate their own ideas and to appreciate the ideas…
