Hu, Qintong; Son, Ji-Won; Hodge, Lynn – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2016
To improve mathematics achievement, students' errors should be treated as a source to stimulate their understanding of the conceptual and procedural basis of their errors. The study investigated 20 Chinese and 20 U.S. high school teachers' interpretations and responses to a student's errors in solving a quadratic equation. The teachers' responses…

Barbieri, Christina; Booth, Julie L. – Grantee Submission, 2016
Middle school algebra students (N = 125) randomly assigned within classroom to a Problem-solving control group, a Correct worked examples control group, or an Incorrect worked examples group, completed an experimental classroom study to assess the differential effects of incorrect examples versus the two control groups on students' algebra…

Ottmar, Erin; Landy, David – Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2017
Learning algebra is difficult for many students in part because of an emphasis on the memorization of abstract rules. Algebraic reasoners across expertise levels often rely on perceptual-motor strategies to make these rules meaningful and memorable. However, in many cases, rules are provided as patterns to be memorized verbally, with little overt…

Sakurai, Shogo – TESL-EJ, 2014
There are a number of studies on teachers' corrective feedback and students' uptakes in immersion settings, but the majority is carried out in the North American context. Based on limited data, "the counterĀ­-balance hypothesis" was proposed by Lyster and Mori (2006) to explain distributions of teacher feedback and students' uptakes in…

Kembitzky, Kimberle A. – ProQuest LLC, 2009
This study examined the improvement of students' comprehension of geometric concepts through analytical writing about their own misconceptions using a reflective tool called an ERNIe (acronym for ERror aNalyIsis). The purpose of this study was to determine whether the ERNIe process could be used to correct geometric misconceptions, as well as how…

Blair, Kristen Pilner – ProQuest LLC, 2009
Research addressing the effectiveness of feedback for learning has focused on many dimensions of feedback, including the timing (Kulik & Kulik, 1988), type (Mory, 2004), and amount of available information (Dempsey et. al, 1993). Much of the feedback research in education has tacitly assumed that the available information is perceived, and any…
