Maria Nielsen Stewart; Noah Brown; Amber Candela; Samuel Otten; Zandra de Araujo – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2025
The authors developed an instructional nudges as part of a larger research project. These instructional nudges are designed to be small but powerful changes to teachers' existing practices. Some instructional nudges focus on modifying tasks used in classrooms. In this article, the authors share Rate and Review. The goal of Rate and Review is to…

Di Lonardo Burr, Sabrina M.; Xu, Chang; Li, Hongxia; Si, Jiwei; LeFevre, Jo-Anne; Wang, Yangyang – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
Background: Mapping fraction symbols to magnitudes is easier for students to master than comparing fraction magnitudes. Fraction mapping assesses students' understanding of part-whole interpretations of fractions; fractions represent the parts of an object or set of objects. Fraction comparison assesses students' understanding of measurement…

Schwichow, Martin; Brandenburger, Martina; Wilbers, Jens – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
Designing and interpreting controlled experiments are important inquiry skills addressed in many current science curricula. The relevant skills associated with the design and interpretation of controlled experiments are summarised under the term control-of-variables strategy (CVS). Research on elementary school students' CVS skills shows that they…

Arteaga, Pedro; Díaz-Levicoy, Danilo; Batanero, Carmen – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2021
The aim of this research was to describe the errors and reading levels that 6th and 7th grade Chilean primary school children reach when working with line graphs. To achieve this objective, we gave a questionnaire, previously validated by experts with two open-ended tasks, to a sample of 745 students from different Chilean cities. In the first…

Yilin Huang; Yifan Liu; Qiong Hu; Qiong Zhang – Journal of Attention Disorders, 2024
Objective: To examine the manifestation of cognitive control deficit of children with different levels of hyperactivity, an "at risk" dimension for ADHD. Method: A group of children with high hyperactivity (N = 40) and another group of children with low levels of hyperactivity (N = 38) performed a modified stop-signal anticipation task,…

Götz, Daniela; Gasteiger, Hedwig – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2022
Students' issues dealing with reflection tasks, especially with inclined mirror lines, are widely known. Previous research conducted with primary school students mainly focussed on task difficulty and students' outcomes, especially their errors of reflection. Little is known about which not obviously sustainable understanding of reflection leads…

Samuel Kenney; Forster D. Ntow – SAGE Open, 2024
This article uses the concurrent mixed methods design to explore the errors made by 171 Grade Seven learners in algebraic problem-solving within the Assin Central Municipality in Ghana. The participants were categorized into low-achieving and high-achieving groups based on their performance in a pretest, to help provide a detailed examination of…

Madelon van den Boer; Elise H. de Bree – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2024
Purpose: Children make spelling errors despite classroom instruction on phoneme-grapheme connections and spelling rules. We examined whether additional practice helps to decrease the number of spelling errors for a morphological spelling rule. We distinguished explicit practice in applying a spelling rule from implicit exposure to correct word…

Issa, Iyad – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2023
Spelling poses a challenge to Arabic-speaking learners due to the complexity of the morphological and orthographic systems in Arabic. Arabic morphology has been argued to play a critical role in spelling since its morphological operations are built on a system consisting of a root that is interlocking into different patterns of vowels to form…

Basso, Demis; Corradini, Giovanni; Cottini, Milvia – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2023
Background: According to Munsat (1965, The concept of memory. University of Michigan), a person who makes frequent prospective memory (PM) errors is considered as having a flawed character rather than a bad memory. Given that PM completes its development only in young adulthood, this bias might occur not only within social relationships but also…

Castroviejo, Elena; Hernández-Conde, José V.; Lazaridou-Chatzigoga, Dimitra; Ponciano, Marta; Vicente, Agustín – Language Learning and Development, 2023
This paper reports an experiment that investigates interpretive distinctions between two different expressions of generalization in Spanish. In particular, our aim was to find out when the distinction between generic statements (GS) such as "Tigers have stripes" and universally quantified statements (UQS) such as "All tigers have…

Liu, Ying; Liu, Ru-De; Star, Jon; Wang, Jia; Zhen, Rui; Tong, Huimin – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2020
The More A-More B intuitive rule has become a research hotspot in the field of mathematical education in recent years. The intuitive rule of More A-More B is often reflected in students' responses to comparison tasks. In such tasks, students are asked to compare 2 objects that differ in a certain salient quantity A (where A[subscript 1] >…

Ganayim, Deia; Ganayim, Shireen; Dowker, Ann; Olkun, Sinan – Journal of Cognitive Education and Psychology, 2021
The study focuses on the effect of the lexical-syntactic structure on the patterns of errors by Arab first graders in tasks involving reading two-digit number and writing two-digit numbers to dictation. Children made few change or omission errors, indicating that they had little problem with the lexical aspects of the counting system. However,…

Jace'Karmon Thomas – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Errors in mathematics are common hurdles for teachers and students; therefore, it is important to learn what errors students make and how students treat them. This study initially identified the types of errors students made while working with algebraic expressions and documented and analyzed the process of students completing an error analysis…

Faria, Ana Raquel; Viseu, Floriano; Gomes, Alexandra; Aires, Ana Paula – International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education, 2021
Due to their abstract nature, representation of mathematical concepts through different registers favors their understanding. In the case of ''sequences and regularities'', it becomes propitious the exploration of different registers of representation in the institution of topics, such as term, order, formation law, and generating expression.…
