Ayhan Kursat Erbas; Mehmet Fatih Ocal – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
The purpose of this study was twofold. First, to explore middle and high school students' intuitively-based (mis)conceptions in probability, particularly availability and representativeness heuristics. Second, to investigate teachers' awareness of these intuitively-based (mis)conceptions and the effectiveness of their instructional practices to…

Babai, R.; Levyadun, T.; Stavy, R.; Tirosh, D. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science & Technology, 2006
It has been observed that students react in similar ways to mathematics and science tasks that differ with regard either to their content area and/or to the type of reasoning required, but share some common, external features. Based on these observations, the Intuitive Rules Theory was proposed. In this present study the framework of this theory…
