Charalambous, Charalambos; Kyriakides, Leonidas; Philippou, George – International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2003
The study reported in this paper is an attempt to develop a comprehensive model of measuring problem solving and posing (PSP) skills based on Marshall's schema theory (ST). A battery of tests on PSP skills was administered to 5th and 6th grade Cypriot students (n=2519). The Rasch model was used and a scale was created for the battery of tests and…
