Arnau, David; Arevalillo-Herráez, Miguel; González-Calero, José Antonio – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2014
This paper presents an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) for the learning of arithmetical problem solving. This is based on an analysis of (a) the cognitive processes that take place during problem solving; and (b) the usual tasks performed by a human when supervising a student in a one-to-one tutoring situation. The ITS is able to identify the…

van Schaik, Martijn; Terwel, Jan; van Oers, Bert – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2014
In vocational education students are to be prepared to participate in communities of practice. Hence they need technical skills as well as content knowledge e.g. science and mathematics. Research has shown that the instructional strategy of guided co-construction may lead to deeper understandings within a practice. The research questions in this…

Shumway, Jessica F.; Kyriopoulos, Joan – Educational Leadership, 2014
Being able to find the correct answer to a math problem does not always indicate solid mathematics mastery. A student who knows how to apply the basic algorithms can correctly solve problems without understanding the relationships between numbers or why the algorithms work. The Common Core standards require that students actually understand…

Gallardo, Katherina Edith; González, Jaime Ricardo Valenzuela – Alberta Journal of Educational Research, 2014
The assessment of Competency-­Based Learning (CBL) generally lacks a foundation to guide the construction of instruments that accords the nature and goals of this educational model. The measurement instruments normally used in CBL only provide a numerical score with limited information about the levels of competencies reached. This research aims…
