National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, 2025
Students learn mathematics best when they actively explore problems, connect solution methods, and synthesize ideas at just the right moment. Yet in many classrooms, this balance tips too quickly toward telling students how to solve problems, leaving less room for them to do the real mathematical work. "Teaching Mathematics Through Problem…

Julius Meier; Peter Hesse; Stephan Abele; Alexander Renkl; Inga Glogger-Frey – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2024
Self-explanation prompts in example-based learning are usually directed backwards: Learners are required to self-explain problem-solving steps just presented ("retrospective" prompts). However, it might also help to self-explain upcoming steps ("anticipatory" prompts). The effects of the prompt type may differ for learners with…

Camille Schulze Talbert; Kevin Russel Magill; Lakia Marie Scott; Madison Bell – Multicultural Perspectives, 2024
Using Freire's idea of problem-posing for critical becoming, we unpack the dialogical relationships between teacher candidates and teacher educators striving to co-labor toward critical consciousness inside and outside a diversity course at a predominantly White university. Through qualitative measures, we attempt to illuminate how dialogical…

Michael Tscholl; Ying Xie; Thomas J. Smith; Wei-Chen Hung – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
In elementary school classrooms, Computational Thinking (CT) teaching often is embedded in problem- or project-based pedagogies and involves programming using Educational Robotics. Little is known, however, about how children solve problems in these contexts, and how task designs influence which CT and problem-solving processes they apply. In this…
