Caro, Diana García; García, Carlos Valenzuela; Sanz, María T.; González, María S. García – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2022
This paper describes the conceptions about complex numbers that a group of university students has, these were built from the application of an activity sequence centered on these numbers. This sequence is based on the APOS theory, some aspects of semiotic representation theory, and the use of digital technology. Particularly, both the general…

Melike Yigit Koyunkaya; Burcak Boz-Yaman – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2023
This study aims to examine the changes in students' mental constructions of function transformation based on the designed activities, classroom discussions, exercises (ACE) teaching cycle in the light of the action, process, object, schema (APOS) theoretical framework. The study was conducted by seven volunteer students who were enrolled in…

Faria, Ana Raquel; Viseu, Floriano; Gomes, Alexandra; Aires, Ana Paula – International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education, 2021
Due to their abstract nature, representation of mathematical concepts through different registers favors their understanding. In the case of ''sequences and regularities'', it becomes propitious the exploration of different registers of representation in the institution of topics, such as term, order, formation law, and generating expression.…

Ziegler, Esther; Edelsbrunner, Peter A.; Star, Jon R. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2019
Introducing new concepts to learners in an order of increasing complexity appears to be beneficial for learning, but typically introduction of concepts does not always adhere to this principle. We examined whether introducing new algebra concepts in a contrasted manner or in an order of increasing complexity instead of a different more typical…

Sullivan, Peter; Holmes, Marilyn; Ingram, Naomi; Linsell, Chris; Livy, Sharyn; McCormack, Melody – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2016
The following outlines the rationale and structure of a professional learning initiative that seeks to explore teachers' ways of engaging students more actively in building mathematical connections for themselves. An example of one of the suggested experiences is presented.

Suthisung, Nisara – Journal of Education and Learning, 2014
The distinction between procedural and conceptual learning has long been a topic of discussion in mathematics education and the idea of compression into thinkable concepts that enable the individual make links between them (Tall, 2007). In addition to, the compression to thinkable concept was to be thinking mechanism arising naturally and…

Hilton, Annette; Hilton, Geoff; Dole, Shelley; Goos, Merrilyn – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2015
Find out how to use photographic images to support the conceptual development of proportional thinking. This paper provides insight into a sequenced activity that promotes student engagement and makes links to familiar and unfamiliar contexts.

Fogarty, Ian; Geelan, David; Mukherjee, Michelle – Teaching Science, 2012
Five Canadian high school Chemistry classes in one school, taught by three different teachers, studied the concepts of dynamic chemical equilibria and Le Chatelier's Principle. Some students received traditional teacher-led explanations of the concept first and used an interactive scientific visualisation second, while others worked with the…

Kramer-Dahl, Anneliese; Chia, Alexius – Pedagogies: An International Journal, 2012
This article draws its data from a collaborative intervention project "Expanding Textual Repertoires," which sought to help English teachers develop their students' higher-order work with language and texts in Singapore secondary schools. The focus is on the strategy of weaving, a form of connection-making which involves the deliberate…

Tillema, H. – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 1982
Ninety-five secondary students were given textbook material in which two sequence variations (web and linear) were used in relation to the information processing strategies (serialist or holistic) demonstrated by the students. Users of the web-structured sequence scored higher on concept retention. (Author/JJD)

Gibson, Janice T. – 1977
Research conducted at the Institute of General and Pedagogical Psychology of Moscow, and based on the premise that the development of thought processes is a direct product of the social environment, is described. As a corollary to this premise, Piaget's view that the development of the thinking process occurs in orderly fashion is questioned.…

Ranzijn, Frederik J. A. – Instructional Science, 1992
Describes two experiments in Dutch secondary schools that were carried out to study the effect of the sequencing of the information in computer-assisted instructional programs. Instructional design for concept learning is discussed; successive and coordinate relationships between concepts are explained; and tests designed for procedural and…
