Conrad Borchers; Paulo F. Carvalho; Meng Xia; Pinyang Liu; Kenneth R. Koedinger; Vincent Aleven – Grantee Submission, 2023
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…

Christina Areizaga Barbieri; Brianna L. Devlin – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: Providing students with worked out problem solutions is a beneficial instructional technique in STEM disciplines, and studying examples that have been worked out incorrectly may be especially helpful for reducing misconceptions in students with low prior content knowledge. However, past results are inconclusive and the effects of…

Rajiv Satsangi; Stephanie D. Sigmon – Remedial and Special Education, 2024
Whole number computations are a critical skill that serves as a foundation upon which higher-order concepts in mathematics are taught to children. To facilitate their instruction, educators often use multiple representations to support a child's cognition. Representations with physical manipulatives are widely studied through a graduated…

Barbieri, Christina Areizaga; Booth, Julie L.; Begolli, Kreshnik N.; McCann, Nicholas – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2021
The present study examines the effectiveness of incorporating worked examples with prompts for self-explanation into a middle school math textbook. Algebra 1 students (N = 75) completed an equation-solving unit with textbooks either containing the original practice problems or in which a portion of those problems were converted into a combination…

Kshetree, Mukunda Prakash; Acharya, Bed Raj; Khanal, Bishnu; Panthi, Ram Krishna; Belbase, Shashidhar – European Journal of Educational Research, 2021
This paper explores misconceptions and errors (M/Es) of eighth-grade students in Nepal with a quasi-experimental design with nonequivalent control and experimental groups. The treatment was implemented with teaching episodes based on different remedial strategies of addressing students' M/Es. Students of control groups were taught under…

Chen, Xingliang; Mitrovic, Antonija; Mathews, Moffat – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2020
Problem solving, worked examples, and erroneous examples have proven to be effective learning activities in Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs). However, it is generally unknown how to select learning activities adaptively in ITSs to maximize learning. In the previous work of A. Shareghi Najar and A. Mitrovic, alternating worked examples with…

Qetrani, Safâ; Ouailal, Salek; Achtaich, Naceur – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2021
Conceptual understanding is one of the main concerns of mathematics education. Numerous research have discussed student understanding of algebraic concepts, linear equations in particular. This research was drawn upon in order to develop a new approach for teaching and learning linear equations based on the equivalence concept, one that aims to…

Mbus, Nokwanda P.; Luneta, Kakoma – South African Journal of Childhood Education, 2021
Background: Pre-service teachers (PSTs) training does not equip students with adequate skills and knowledge of geometry to enable them to teach this section of mathematics competently. Inadequate teacher knowledge of transformation geometry, in particular, requires intervention that targets PSTs' faulty reasoning displayed in errors they make.…

Rosli, Siddiqah; Shahrill, Masitah; Yusof, Jamilah – Journal of Technology and Science Education, 2020
The study was designed to assess the effectiveness of an alternative teaching approach strategy called the Hybrid Strategy. It was intended specifically in minimising the common errors made by students, which were Comprehension and Transformation errors, and aimed at helping students to perceive word problems as a story line to be completed using…

Klein, Martin; Otto, Bärbel; Fischer, Martin R.; Stark, Robin – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2019
The present study aims at fostering undergraduate medical students' clinical reasoning by learning from errors. By fostering the acquisition of "negative knowledge" about typical cognitive errors in the medical reasoning process, we support learners in avoiding future erroneous decisions and actions in similar situations. Since learning…

Hallinen, Nicole R.; Booth, Julie L. – Grantee Submission, 2018
5th graders (n=527) were randomly assigned to self-explain worked examples (WE) or solve problems during a yearlong study. WE students learned more algebra skills when given algebra worked examples on an end-of-year transfer measure. Comparing attempts, conceptual, and mechanical correctness by condition, results demonstrated that the condition…

Steif, Paul S.; Fu, Luoting; Kara, Levent Burak – Interactive Learning Environments, 2016
Problems faced by engineering students involve multiple pathways to solution. Students rarely receive effective formative feedback on handwritten homework. This paper examines the potential for computer-based formative assessment of student solutions to multipath engineering problems. In particular, an intelligent tutor approach is adopted and…

Barbieri, Christina; Booth, Julie L. – Grantee Submission, 2016
Middle school algebra students (N = 125) randomly assigned within classroom to a Problem-solving control group, a Correct worked examples control group, or an Incorrect worked examples group, completed an experimental classroom study to assess the differential effects of incorrect examples versus the two control groups on students' algebra…

Bottge, Brian A.; Ma, Xin; Gassaway, Linda; Butler, Mark; Toland, Michael D. – Exceptional Children, 2014
This article describes a follow-up analysis of findings from a randomized study that tested the efficacy of a blended version of Enhanced Anchored Instruction (EAI) designed to improve both the computation and problem-solving performances of middle school students with disabilities. The goals of the secondary analysis were to track overall error…

Añino, María Magdalena; Merino, Gabriela; Miyara, Alberto; Perassi, Marisol; Ravera, Emiliano; Pita, Gustavo; Waigandt, Diana – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2014
This paper describes an action-research experience carried out with second year students at the School of Engineering of the National University of Entre Ríos, Argentina. Vector calculus students played an active role in their own learning process. They were required to present weekly reports, in both oral and written forms, on the topics studied,…
