North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, Paper presented at the Joint Meeting of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (PME) (38th) and the North American Chapter of the Psychology of Mathematics Education (PME-NA) (36th, Vancouver, Canada, Jul 15-20, 2014)
In the project MultiMa (Multiple solutions for mathematics teaching oriented toward students' self-regulation), we investigated the effects of prompting students to use multiple solution methods while solving real-world problems on their learning. In this quasi-experimental study, we compared three treatment conditions. In one condition, students solved real-world problems by using multiple solution methods. These solution methods consisted of a solution using a table and a solution using differences. In the other two conditions, the same real-world problems were solved using only one of the methods. About 307 ninth graders from twelve middle track classes took part in this study during four lessons. Before and after a teaching unit, students' self-regulation was tested.
