Mathematics intervention research has established several effective interventions for building accuracy and fluency of math fact computation, as well as components that may improve student learning rates. While several evidence-based interventions promoting math fact accuracy and fluency exist, further work is needed to determine additional…

Many students persistently misinterpret histograms. This calls for closer inspection of students' strategies when interpreting histograms and case-value plots (which look similar but are different). Using students' gaze data, we ask: "How and how well do upper secondary pre-university school students estimate and compare arithmetic means of…

High school teachers often encounter incorrect solutions from students, especially when teaching combinatorics. This study investigates the ability of prospective mathematics teachers to assess the correctness of solutions to combinatorial problems and to falsify incorrect ones. 39 second-year prospective teachers participated in the experiment,…

Understanding a student's problem-solving strategy can have a significant impact on effective math learning using Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) and Adaptive Instructional Systems (AISs). For instance, the ITS/AIS can better personalize itself to correct specific misconceptions that are indicated by incorrect strategies, specific problems can…

In numerous studies, intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) have proven effective in helping students learn mathematics. Prior work posits that their effectiveness derives from efficiently providing eventually-correct practice opportunities. Yet, there is little empirical evidence on how learning processes with ITSs compare to other forms of…

This study investigates the utilisation and perceptions of artificial intelligence (AI) applications among mathematics and science teachers in enhancing students' learning experience in mathematics classrooms. One prominent AI application this research seeks to explore, given its recent rise in popularity and usage, is ChatGPT. The study aims to…

There is a growing interest in using comparative judgement as a peer assessment tool involving students choosing the 'better' of two pieces of work. However, it has not been shown whether peer assessment through comparative judgement is effective for students' learning. To gain a better understanding of the comparative judgement process, we…

This study investigated whether strategy accuracy and flexibility on various types of complex multiplication problems could predict college GPA concurrently and longitudinally in 164 college engineering students. Additionally, it sought to answer whether low- and high-achieving students would show unique patterns of strategy flexibility, accuracy,…

The purpose of this research was to describe the positions and causes of students' errors in algebraic thinking based on the cognitive style. This study was qualitative research with subject consisting of twelve students. The results showed that (1) students with Field Independent type tended to make errors at the stage of comprehension,…

Metacognitive monitoring in educational contexts is typically measured by calibration indicators, which are based on the correspondence between cognitive performance and metacognitive confidence judgment. Despite this common rationale, a variety of alternative methods are used in the field of monitoring research to assess performance and judgment…

This report describes efforts to measure teachers' knowledge of their own students' abilities in mathematics and offers preliminary findings. It provides a description of the sample, a description of the study design and its realization, and descriptive statistics for teacher judgment accuracy. The work described here was completed as part of a…

Aim of the study: This study examines numerical methods for solving the problems in gas dynamics, which are based on an exact or approximate solution to the problem of breakdown of an arbitrary discontinuity (the Riemann problem). Results: Comparative analysis of finite difference schemes for the Euler equations integration is conducted on the…

Structured abstract: Introduction: Difficulties in science and mathematics may stem from intuitive interference of irrelevant salient variables in a task. It has been suggested that such intuitive interference is based on immediate perceptual differences that are often visual. Studies performed with sighted participants have indicated that in the…

The paper investigates geometric errors students made as they tried to use their basic geometric knowledge in the solution of the Applied Calculus Optimization Problem (ACOP). Inaccuracies related to the drawing of geometric diagrams (visualization skills) and those associated with the application of basic differentiation concepts into ACOP…

This article continues to challenge the robust myth that mathematical smartness is exemplified in individuals who consistently complete mathematics problems quickly and accurately. In so doing, I present a set of counterstories from three students in one ninth-grade Algebra 1 classroom. These students described transformative experiences in their…
