Direct linkSchwartz, Daniel L.; Chase, Catherine C.; Oppezzo, Marily A.; Chin, Doris B. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2011
Being told procedures and concepts before problem solving can inadvertently undermine the learning of deep structures in physics. If students do not learn the underlying structure of physical phenomena, they will exhibit poor transfer. Two studies on teaching physics to adolescents compared the effects of "telling" students before and after…

A systematic series of studies by De Bock et al. revealed a strong, deep-rooted tendency among secondary school students to apply the proportional model in non-proportional problems involving lengths, areas and volumes of similar geometrical figures. In these studies, however, items were used involving direct measures for area and volume as well…

Van Luit, Johannes E. H., Ed. – 1994
Recognition of the importance of (special) children's learning of mathematics in an active fashion has increased rapidly since the beginning of the 1980s. This book presents current ideas and trends in the teaching of mathematics and aims at giving an overview of new developments in the field of (special) mathematics and showing how researchers…

Protagonist Gender as a Design Variable in Adapting Mathematics Story Problems to Learner Interests.
Peer reviewedMurphy, Laura O.; Ross, Steven M. – Educational Technology, Research and Development, 1990
Describes study of eighth grade students that was designed to determine whether gender of the protagonist in mathematics story problems can play a significant role in mathematics learning. The use of the Secondary-School Attitudes toward Women Scale is described, and correlations among individual difference and task-outcome variables are analyzed.…

English, Lyn D. – 1993
The focus of this report is children's construction and analogical transfer of mathematical knowledge during novel problem solving, as reflected in their strategies for dealing with isomorphic combinatorial problems presented in "hands-on" and written form. Case studies of 9-year-olds, one low and one high achieving in school…
