Wong, Terry Tin-Yau; Kwan, Kam-Tai – Developmental Psychology, 2023
The relation to operands (RO) principles describe the relation between operands and answers in arithmetic problems (e.g., the sum is always larger than its positive addends). Despite being a fundamental property of arithmetic, its empirical relation with arithmetic/algebraic problem solving has seldom been investigated. The current longitudinal…

Chang Xu; Hongxia Li; Sabrina Di Lonardo Burr; Jiwei Si; Jo-Anne LeFevre; Xinfeng Zhuo – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2024
Students' understanding of the meaning of the equal sign develops slowly over the primary grades. In addition to updating their representations of equations to recognize that the equal sign represents an equivalence relation rather than signaling an operation, students need to move beyond full computation to efficiently solve equivalence problems.…

Tzuriel, David; Cohen, Shlomit; Feuerstein, Rafi; Devisheim, Haim; Zaguri-Vittenberg, Shahar; Goldenberg, Rosalind; Yosef, Lea; Cagan, Anat – International Journal of School & Educational Psychology, 2023
The Feuerstein Instrumental Enrichment (FIE) Program is a process-oriented program based on "Structural Cognitive Modifiability and Mediated Learning Experience" (SCM-MLE) theory. It is aimed at promoting learning how to learn, development of deficient cognitive functions, problem-solving strategies and metacognitive abilities. The FIE…

Fastame, Maria Chiara – School Psychology International, 2021
The relationships between visuo-spatial abilities and geometry performances in school-aged children were examined. A battery of tests assessing non-verbal reasoning, visuo-spatial mental imagery, and academic achievement in geometry (i.e., geometric knowledge and geometric problem-solving competencies) was presented to 162 8-9.5-year-old pupils…

Jaarsveld, Saskia; Lachmann, Thomas; van Leeuwen, Cees – Intelligence, 2012
We recently proposed the Creative Reasoning Test (CRT), a test for reasoning in ill-defined problem spaces. The test asks children who first performed the Standard Progressive Matrices test (SPM) to next generate an SPM-style test item themselves. The item is scored based on different aspects of its complexity. Here we introduce a method to…

Can, Bilge Taskin; Gunhan, Berna Canturk; Erdal, Sevinc Ongel – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2012
In this study, an instrument, Using Mathematics in Science Self-efficacy Scale (UMSSS), was developed in order to determine preservice science teachers' self-efficacy toward the use of mathematics in their lessons. Data gathered from 250 preservice science teachers were used for Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis…
