Lingel, Klaus; Lenhart, Jan; Schneider, Wolfgang – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2019
Metacognitive monitoring in educational contexts is typically measured by calibration indicators, which are based on the correspondence between cognitive performance and metacognitive confidence judgment. Despite this common rationale, a variety of alternative methods are used in the field of monitoring research to assess performance and judgment…

Baroudi, Ziad – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 2015
Many introductions to algebra in high school begin with teaching students to generalise linear numerical patterns. This article argues that this approach needs to be changed so that students encounter variables in the context of modelling visual patterns so that the variables have a meaning. The article presents sample classroom activities,…
