Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Özgen, Kemal; Aydin, Mehmet; Geçic, Mehmet Ertürk; Bayram, Baran – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2019
The purpose of this study was to investigate eighth grade students' skills in different problem-posing situations. Problem-posing situations include free, semi-structured and structured problem-posing situations. The study was conducted using case study methodology, which is within the scope of descriptive research. The study was conducted with…

Samsudin, Mohd Ali; Chut, Thodsaphorn Som; Ismail, Mohd Erfy; Ahmad, Nur Jahan – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2020
The current assessment is demanding for a more personalised and less-time consuming testing environment. Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT) is seemed as a more effective alternative testing method in comparison to conventional test in meeting the current standard of assessment. This research reports on the calibration of the released Grade 8 Science…

Ross, Dan; Reys, Robert; Chavez, Oscar; McNaught, Melissa D.; Grouws, Douglas A. – School Science and Mathematics, 2011
A central goal of secondary mathematics is for students to learn to use powerful algebraic strategies appropriately. Research has demonstrated student difficulties in the transition to using such strategies. We examined strategies used by several thousand 8th-, 9th-, and 10th-grade students in five different school systems over three consecutive…

Problem Solving and Game-Based Learning: Effects of Middle Grade Students' Hypothesis Testing Strategies on Learning Outcomes
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Spires, Hiller A.; Rowe, Jonathan P.; Mott, Bradford W.; Lester, James C. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2011
Targeted as a highly desired skill for contemporary work and life, problem solving is central to game-based learning research. In this study, middle grade students achieved significant learning gains from gameplay interactions that required solving a science mystery based on microbiology content. Student trace data results indicated that effective…

Determining the Significance of Item Order in Randomized Problem Sets
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Pardos, Zachary A.; Heffernan, Neil T. – International Working Group on Educational Data Mining, 2009
Researchers who make tutoring systems would like to know which sequences of educational content lead to the most effective learning by their students. The majority of data collected in many ITS systems consist of answers to a group of questions of a given skill often presented in a random sequence. Following work that identifies which items…

Effects of Interspersing Rates on Students Performance on and Preferences for Mathematics Assignments: Testing the Discrete Task Completion Hypothesis
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Cates, Gary L.; Erkfritz, Karyn N. – Psychology in the Schools, 2007
The current study investigated the discreet task completion hypothesis presented by C. H. Skinner (2002) by investigating how the rate of interspersing affects performance on and preferences for academic assignments. Specifically, 70 sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-grade students were presented with four assignment pairs of multiplication problems.…
