Direct linkArsenault, Tessa L.; Powell, Sarah R. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2022
Word-problem features such as text complexity, charts and graphs, position of the unknown, calculation complexity, irrelevant information, and schemas impact word-problem performance. We compared the word-problem performance of typically achieving (TA) students and students with mathematics difficulty (MD). First, we measured the word-problem…

Bollen, Laurens; van Kampen, Paul; De Cock, Mieke – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2015
Understanding Maxwell's equations in differential form is of great importance when studying the electrodynamic phenomena discussed in advanced electromagnetism courses. It is therefore necessary that students master the use of vector calculus in physical situations. In this light we investigated the difficulties second year students at KU Leuven…

Peer reviewedGarofalo, Joe; Durant, Kingsley – Research & Teaching in Developmental Education, 1991
Presents a rationale for including applied functions and graphs in developmental mathematics courses, arguing that the ability to construct, interpret, and represent functional relationships is important in every discipline. Discusses student difficulties with abstract and applied functions and curricular and instructional implications. (DMM)

Paredes, Vicente – 1991
The transition to high school is a crucial time in a student's academic career. This summary is presented as a caution to students, parents, teachers, administrators, and the public to warn of some of the hazards of the transition year (grade nine). In 1989-90, ninth-graders in the Austin (Texas) Independent School District had the lowest…

Smoot, Sharene; And Others – 1990
This study was designed to find: a suitable effect size (ES) measure or common metric (CM) for comparing the results of a set of single subject research (SSR) studies; and an easy way to convert the published graphs back into raw data from which ESs could be calculated. To meet the first objective, three possible formulas for measuring treatment…
