Tillema, Erik S. – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2020
Two-hour long developmental teaching interviews were conducted with each of 14 sixth grade students, ages 11-12. The purposes of the interviews were to investigate how students solved arrangement problems (APs), and how their solutions of these problems differed from their solution of Cartesian product problems (CPPs). The 14 students represented…

Faber Taylor, Andrea; Butts-Wilmsmeyer, Carrie; Jordan, Catherine – Environmental Education Research, 2022
Science lessons in nature are appealing and potentially supportive of children's learning, but little is known about how and for whom they are effective. A within-subjects, experimental, mixed methods design was employed with 92 4th-graders to determine if, why and for whom science learning is better through outdoor, nature-based instruction (NBI)…
