Generated Meanings in the Comprehension of Word Problems in Mathematics.

Peer reviewed

Peled, Zimra; Wittrock, M. C. – Instructional Science, 1990

Discusses how students generate meanings for mathematical word problems, develops a generative predicational model to account for students' comprehension of word problems, and describes an empirical study of Israeli sixth graders that was designed to test the model. Talk aloud protocols of the students are analyzed, and hypotheses tested are…

An Empirical Test of the Impact of Primitive Intuitive Models of Operations on Solving Word Problems with a Multiplicative Structure.

Peer reviewed

De Corte, Erik; Verschaffel, Lieven – Learning and Instruction, 1996

Results of a study involving 107 sixth graders, 107 secondary school students, and 99 college education majors support the basic hypothesis of the intuitive model of solving multiplicative problems proposed by E. Fischbein and others (1985) but show that the theory does not account for all the empirical data. (SLD)
