Martin, Rebecca D.; Kennett, Deborah J. – Teaching & Learning Inquiry, 2019
Most postsecondary students have to deal with academic disappointments at some point in time, with many of them succumbing to their anxieties and failing to learn from these lived experiences. Our study aimed to understand why and how disappointments unfolded in a sample of 20 undergraduate students, using a design whereby interview text was…

Tosto, Maria Grazia; Garon-Carrier, Gabrielle; Gross, Susan; Petrill, Stephen A.; Malykh, Sergey; Malki, Karim; Hart, Sara A.; Thompson, Lee; Karadaghi, Rezhaw L.; Yakovlev, Nikita; Tikhomirova, Tatiana; Opfer, John E.; Mazzocco, Michèle M. M.; Dionne, Ginette; Brendgen, Mara; Vitaro, Frank; Tremblay, Richard E.; Boivin, Michel; Kovas, Yulia – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2019
Background: The number line task assesses the ability to estimate numerical magnitudes. People vary greatly in this ability, and this variability has been previously associated with mathematical skills. However, the sources of individual differences in number line estimation and its association with mathematics are not fully understood. Aims: This…

Sozen-Ozdogan, Sinem; Akyuz, Didem; Stephan, Michelle – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2019
The mathematics standards for many countries include teaching and learning ratios, typically with efficient algorithms and strategies (Australian Curriculum: Mathematics, Assessment and Reporting Authority, 2017; National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, 2014). In the 1990s, Cramer and Post (1993) claimed that school mathematics mostly involves…

Elwick, Alex – Higher Education Quarterly, 2019
This paper problematises the concept of social mobility through an exploration of it in relation to Higher Education policy in England. Based upon a content analysis of a number of key policy documents from distinct eras, it identifies definitions and understandings of social mobility within them, exploring how such references have changed over…

Kohen, Zehavit – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2019
Technology has an inseparable role in contemporary educational systems. Recent demands consider its informed integration in classrooms. The current study aims to investigate whether informed use of Interactive Whiteboard (IWB) technologies affects students' real-time emotions in mathematics classes, through an integrative research model that…

Mwadzaangati, Lisnet; Kazima, Mercy – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2019
Understanding the proof problem is necessary in the development of geometric proof in schools. This paper discusses findings from a qualitative case study which explored the mathematical work done by teachers in helping students to understand geometric proof problems. Data were generated from two teachers through video-recorded observations of 30…

Dogan Coskun, Sumeyra; Ev Cimen, Emre – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2019
The purpose of this study is to investigate pre-service elementary teachers' realistic considerations and difficulties in solving "division with remainder" type of problems which focus on the measurement meaning of division operation. The qualitative research method of case study design was used for the study. The purposive sampling…

Hoon, Teoh Sian; Singh, Parmjit – Asian Journal of University Education, 2019
There are challenges in teaching research methodology as highlighted by many researchers. Among the challenges are strategies for putting material in context. For achieving this purpose, students' engagement in the learning process needs to be re-looked. This paper shares on a practice engaging students in a research methodology class. The…

Ngu, Bing Hiong – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2019
Solution representations can reveal how problem solvers communicate mathematical thinking and reasoning in problem-solving process. The present study examined the solution representations used by 20 pre-service teachers for the percentage change problems. The pre-service teachers were invited to solve a combination of simple and complex percentage…

Chen, Ouhao; Retnowati, Endah; Kalyuga, Slava – Educational Psychology, 2019
The instructional effect of worked examples has been investigated in many research studies. However, most of them evaluated the overall performance of the participants in solving post-intervention problems, rather than individual step performance in multi-step problems. The two experiments reported in this article investigated the relations…

Hidajat, Flavia Aurelia; Sa'dijah, Cholis; Sudirman; Susiswo – International Journal of Instruction, 2019
This research is based on an individual case finding, where the response from individuals in answering the mathematical problems is initiated with perplexity to proceed with the new finding by reflecting on the previous experience. This research aimed at contributing practically on the indicators causing a perplexity on students which described…

Veltman, M. E.; Van Keulen, J.; Voogt, J. M. – Journal of Education and Work, 2019
To an increasing extent, society requires professionals to cross boundaries in order to deal with wicked problems. However, little is known about how interventions in higher professional education (HPE) foster learning through boundary crossing in the context of addressing wicked problems. Drawing upon the three-dimension model of wickedness by…

Karasewich, Tara A.; Kuhlmeier, Valerie A.; Beier, Jonathan S.; Dunfield, Kristen A. – Developmental Psychology, 2019
When young children recruit others to help a person in need, media reports often treat it as a remarkable event. Yet it is unclear how commonly children perform this type of pro-social behavior and what forms of social understanding, cognitive abilities, and motivational factors promote or discourage it. In this study, 48 three- to four-year-old…

Cartwright, Katherin – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2019
Fluency is an important aspect of mathematics learning and plays a major role in developing proficiency as students are required to use skills and apply knowledge. This paper draws upon findings from a large project that aimed to explore primary students' mathematical fluency. Data from 160 primary students (K-6) from a NSW Departmental school…
