Soneira, Carlos; González-Calero, José Antonio; Arnau, David – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2018
We present two empirical studies with 241 and 211 pre-service teachers that evaluate the explanatory power of word order matching and static comparison as models for the reversal error. We used tasks consisting of generating an algebraic equation representing a comparison given in a verbal statement. We introduce the types of magnitude involved in…

González-Calero, José Antonio; Arnau, David; Laserna-Belenguer, Belén – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2015
An empirical study has been carried out to evaluate the potential of word order matching and static comparison as explanatory models of reversal error. Data was collected from 214 undergraduate students who translated a set of additive and multiplicative comparisons expressed in Spanish into algebraic language. In these multiplicative comparisons…
