Effects of the Theory of Didactical Situations' Application in Mathematics Education: A Metasynthesis
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Julius Ceasar Hortelano; Maricar Prudente – Journal of Pedagogical Research, 2024
Conceptualized in France during the sixties, the Theory of Didactical Situations [TDS] is a pivotal framework for developing mathematics teaching and learning processes. Despite the increasing qualitative studies over the last ten years, there remains a dearth of analysis of its effects on mathematics education. Through a Grounded Formal Theory…

Jialing Zeng; Peng Zhang; Junyi Zhou; Junjie Shang; John B. Black – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2025
Current literature indicates the significance of embodied scaffoldings in enhancing the effectiveness of interactive learning technologies for STEM conceptual learning and relevant cognitive skill development. However, there is limited research on pedagogical approaches for integrating mixed embodied scaffoldings in learning with interactive…

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…

A Developing Approach to Studying Students' Learning through Their Mathematical Activity
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Simon, Martin; Saldanha, Luis; McClintock, Evan; Akar, Gulseren Karagoz; Watanabe, Tad; Zembat, Ismail Ozgur – Cognition and Instruction, 2010
We discuss an emerging program of research on a particular aspect of mathematics learning, students' learning through their own mathematical activity as they engage in particular mathematical tasks. Prior research in mathematics education has characterized learning trajectories of students by specifying a series of conceptual steps through which…

Learning Hierarchies--Numerical Considerations
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Eisenberg, Theodore A.; Walbesser, Henry H. – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1971
The article presents numerical procedures for the validation and comparison of hierarchically organized curricula. Examples of specific hypotheses one should test, and calculations of five statistics for testing these hypotheses are given (consistency ratio, adequacy ratio, inverse consistency ratio, inverse adequacy ratio, and completeness…

Multidigit Addition: A Study of an Alternate Sequence.
Usnick, Virginia E. – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1992
This study compared the effectiveness of teaching multidigit addition of whole numbers without regrouping prior to teaching it with regrouping to teaching multidigit addition with and without regrouping simultaneously. Pretest/posttest-delayed posttest results of second grade students (n=151) from seven randomly assigned classrooms indicated no…
