Experts' and Novices' Error Patterns in Solving Part-Whole Mathematical Word Problems.

Jitendra, Asha K.; Kameenui, Edward J.

Journal of Educational Research, v90 n1 p42-51 Sep-Oct 1996

This study examined the role of dynamic assessment involving specific and general instructional strategies on expert and novice third graders' error patterns in solving part-whole mathematics word problems. The assessment showed that novices in general required more prompts than did experts. Experts in the specific strategy group had decreased errors. (SM)
