Lu, Xiaoli; Kaiser, Gabriele – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2022
Modelling competencies are currently included in numerous curricula worldwide and are generally accepted as a complex, process-oriented construct. Therefore, effective measurement should include multiple dimensions, like the sub-competencies required throughout the modelling process. Departing from the characteristics of modelling problems as open…

Lu, Xiaoli; Kaiser, Gabriele – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2022
Creativity has been identified as a key characteristic that allows students to adapt smoothly to rapid societal and economic changes in the real world. However, Chinese students appear to perform less well in mathematical problem-solving and problem-posing abilities, which are strongly connected to mathematical creativity. Mathematical modelling…

Ding, Meixia; Chen, Wei; Hassler, Ryan Scott – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2019
Linear quantity models such as pre-tapes, tape diagrams, and number line diagrams have drawn increasing attention in mathematics education around the world. However, we still know relatively little about how teachers actually use these models in the classroom. This study explores how exemplary US and Chinese elementary teachers use linear quantity…

Wang, Chao; Lu, Hong – Educational Technology & Society, 2018
This study focused on the effect of examinees' ability levels on the relationship between Reflective-Impulsive (RI) cognitive style and item response time in computerized adaptive testing (CAT). The total of 56 students majoring in Educational Technology from Shandong Normal University participated in this study, and their RI cognitive styles were…

Xu, Binyan, Ed.; Zhu, Yan, Ed.; Lu, Xiaoli, Ed. – Research in Mathematics Education, 2021
This book seeks to illustrate the research on mathematics competencies and disposition in China according to the conceptual development and empirical investigation perspective. Mathematics education in China has a distinguishing feature a focus of attention to mathematical competency. Paradoxically, there has not been an explicit, refined, and…

Ding, Meixia – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2018
Tape diagrams, also known as strip diagrams, bar models, fraction strips, or length models, are linear representations that can be used to effectively model quantitative relationships during problem solving. Tape diagrams are a powerful model recommended by the Common Core, but they are relatively new to teachers and students in the United States.…

Lin, Tony; Erfan, Sasan – New England Journal of Higher Education, 2016
Mathematical modeling is an open-ended research subject where no definite answers exist for any problem. Math modeling enables thinking outside the box to connect different fields of studies together including statistics, algebra, calculus, matrices, programming and scientific writing. As an integral part of society, it is the foundation for many…

Tian, Xiaoxi – ProQuest LLC, 2014
In recent years, Mainland Chinese teams have been the dominant participants in the two COMAP-sponsored mathematical modeling competitions: the Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM) and the Interdisciplinary Contest in Modeling (ICM). This study examines five factors that lead to the Chinese teams' dramatic increase in participation rate and…
