Alsina, Ángel; Salgado, María – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
The aim of this study is to provide data to better understand the processes of early mathematical modelling. According to this, an early mathematical modelling activity carried out by 21 Spanish schoolchildren aged 5-6 years is analysed, using the validated tool "Rubric for the Evaluation of Mathematical Modelling Processes" (REMMP). The…

Martinez-Luaces, Victor; Fernández-Plaza, José Antonio; Rico, Luis; Ruiz-Hidalgo, Juan Francisco – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
Task enrichment is an important teacher competency that can be considered as a special case of problem posing. For that reason, the theoretical framework of this article includes an overview of this topic, complemented with the analysis of inverse problems. The field work of this research was carried out in master courses in the University of…

Pla-Castells, Marta; Melchor, Carmen; Chaparro, Gisela – Education Sciences, 2021
This work describes how the combination of the mistakes committed by a group of pre-service teachers when solving a Fermi problem, with the representation of the temporal analysis of their resolutions, can offer more in-depth information about their conceptual misconceptions regarding mathematical and modelling concepts. The combined…

Acevedo Nistal, A.; Van Dooren, W.; Verschaffel, L. – Educational Psychology, 2014
This study evaluates the effects of an intervention aimed at improving representational flexibility in linear-function problems. Forty-nine students aged 13-16 participated in the study. A pretest-intervention-posttest design with an experimental and control group was used. At pretest, both groups solved a choice test, where they could freely…
