Models of the Structure of Some Rule-Governed Mathematical Behaviors.

Bergan, John R.

Contemporary Educational Psychology, v6 n3 p237-49 Jul 1981

This study investigated the extent to which various latent class models adequately described elementary rule-governed mathematical behaviors. Children were given a fraction concepts test. Results supported the adoption of a set of three-class models including a mastery class, a nonmastery class, and a transitional class to describe the data. (Author/RD)
