Dewolf, Tinne; Van Dooren, Wim; Ev Cimen, Emre; Verschaffel, Lieven – Journal of Experimental Education, 2014
The present research investigated whether an illustration and/or a warning could help students to (a) build a situational model of the problem situation and (b) solve problematic word problems (P-items) that require realistic thinking more realistically. In 2 similar studies conducted in Turkey and Belgium, the authors presented 10- to 11-year-old…

De Corte, Erik; Verschaffel, Lieven – Learning and Instruction, 1996
Results of a study involving 107 sixth graders, 107 secondary school students, and 99 college education majors support the basic hypothesis of the intuitive model of solving multiplicative problems proposed by E. Fischbein and others (1985) but show that the theory does not account for all the empirical data. (SLD)

De Corte, Erik; Verschaffel, Lieven; Masui, Chris – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2004
A major challenge for education and educational research is to build on our present understanding of learning for designing environments for education that are conducive to fostering in students self-regulatory and cooperative learning skills, transferable knowledge, and a disposition toward competent thinking and problem solving. Taking into…
