Direct linkHua Ran; Jinfa Cai; Faith Muirhead; Stephen Hwang – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2025
Using data from a problem-posing project, this study analyzed the characteristics of middle school students' responses to problem-posing prompts that did not match our assumptions and expectations to better understand student thinking. The study found that the characteristics of middle school students' unexpected responses were distributed across…

Stephen Hwang; Jaepil Han; Faith Muirhead; Amy Brown; Matthew Melville; Jinfa Cai – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2025
Research has shown that teaching mathematics through problem posing, or problem-posing based learning (P-PBL), is a student-centered instructional approach that can improve students' cognitive and affective aspects of learning. However, since textbooks continue to include very few opportunities for problem posing, researchers have been working to…

Hua Ran; Jinfa Cai; Stephen Hwang; Jaepil Han; Yue Ma; Faith Muirhead – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2025
This meta-analysis assessed the effectiveness of problem-posing interventions on learners' cognitive learning outcomes. We systematically reviewed 26 quantitative studies published between 2002 and 2024. The results show a large, positive, and significant effect (Hedges's [g-bar] = 0.53) of problem-posing interventions. A series of subgroup…
