Traci Kutaka; Pavel Chernyavskiy; Carson Keeter; Julie Sarama; Douglas Clements – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2021
Background: Data on children's ability to answer assessment questions correctly paints an incomplete portrait of what they know and can do mathematically; yet, it remains a common basis for program evaluation. Indeed, pre-post-assessment correctness is necessary but insufficient evidence for making inferences about learning and program…

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…

Booth, Julie L.; Begolli, Kreshnik N.; McCann, Nicholas – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2016
The present study examines the effectiveness of incorporating worked examples with prompts for self-explanation into a middle school math textbook. Algebra 1 students (N = 75) completed an equation-solving unit with reform textbooks either containing the original practice problems or in which a portion of those problems were converted into…

Teba, Sourou Corneille – Journal of Education and e-Learning Research, 2017
The aim of this paper is firstly, to make teachers correct thoroughly students' errors with effective strategies. Secondly, it is an attempt to find out if teachers are interested themselves in errors correction in Beninese secondary schools. Finally, I would like to point out the effective strategies that an EFL teacher can use for errors…

Patchan, Melissa M.; Schunn, Christian D.; Correnti, Richard J. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2016
Although feedback is often seen as a critical component of the learning process, many open questions about how specific feedback features contribute to the effectiveness of feedback remain--especially in regards to peer feedback of writing. Nelson and Schunn (2009) identified several important features of peer feedback in their nature of feedback…

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…

Nbina, Jacobson Barineka; Obomanu, B. Joseph – World Journal of Education, 2011
We report a study focused on how problem-solving instructional strategies would affect students' achievement and retention in Chemistry with particular reference to River State. A pre-test, post-test, non-equivalent control group design was adopted. Two research questions and two hypotheses were respectively answered and tested. Purposive and…
