Siqi Huang – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2023
The goal of this paper is twofold. First, the paper clarifies and elaborates on an important theoretical construct called orientation with respect to understanding in mathematics, which denotes the degree to which students exhibit an inclination towards and demonstrate an earnest concern for understanding in mathematical learning. Second, the…

Shar, Kelli; Russ, Rosemary S.; Laverty, James T. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
Assessments are usually thought of as ways for instructors to get information from students. In this work, we flip this perspective and explore how assessments communicate information to students. Specifically, we consider how assessments may provide information about what faculty and/or researchers think it means to know and do physics, i.e.,…

Ní Ríordáin, Máire; Flanagan, Eílis – Research in Mathematics Education, 2022
This paper presents a research framework for investigating the role of language use in mathematics learning. The paper draws on the wider M[superscript 2]EID study, which explores whether differences in languages (English and Irish) and their use by bilingual mathematical students have a differential impact on their mathematics meta-level…

Hastuti, Intan Dwi; Nusantara, Toto; Subanji; Susanto, Hery – Educational Research and Reviews, 2016
This study aims to describe the constructive metacognitive activity shift of eleventh graders in solving a mathematical problem. Subjects in this study were 10 students in grade 11 of SMAN 1 Malang. They were divided into 4 groups. Three types of metacognitive activity undertaken by students when completing mathematical problem are awareness,…

Rott, Benjamin – Center for Educational Policy Studies Journal, 2013
It is well known that the regulation of processes is an important factor in problem solving from Grade 7 to university level (cf. Mevarech & Kramarski, 1997; Schoenfeld, 1985). We do not, however, know much about the problem-solving competencies of younger children (cf. Heinze, 2007, p. 15). Do the results of studies also hold true for…

Castro Superfine, Alison; Li, Wenjuan; Bragelman, John; Fisher, Amanda – Journal of Technology and Teacher Education, 2015
Noticing children's mathematical thinking is an important aspect of what teachers need to know. This study explores the role of videocases in supporting preservice elementary teachers' noticing of children's mathematical thinking. Findings from a quasi-experimental study of preservice teachers' engagement with videocases indicate no significant…

Macy, Michelle – ProQuest LLC, 2011
Within the paradigm of Sociocultural Theory, and using Activity Theory as a data-gathering and management tool, this microgenetic case study examined the processes--the growth, change, and development--engaged in by student-teachers in a foreign language education program as they worked together to complete an activity. The activity involved…

Zottmann, J. M.; Goeze, A.; Frank, C.; Zentner, U.; Fischer, F.; Schrader, J. – Interactive Learning Environments, 2012
Analytical competency in classroom situations can be seen as a crucial aspect of teachers' professional competency. While case-based learning is considered to have great potential for teacher education, particularly with respect to the promotion of teachers' analytical skills, there have been very few attempts to investigate the effects of…
