Krawitz, Janina; Chang, Yu-Ping; Yang, Kai-Lin; Schukajlow, Stanislaw – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2022
To solve mathematical modelling problems, students must translate real-world situations, which are typically presented in text form, into mathematical models. To complete the translation process, the problem-solver must first understand the real-world situation. Therefore, reading comprehension can be considered an essential part of solving…

Yang, Kai-Lin; Lin, Fou-Lai – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2012
This study compared the effects of reading-oriented tasks and writing-oriented tasks on students' reading comprehension of geometry proof (RCGP). The reading-oriented tasks were designed with reading strategies and the idea of problem posing. The writing-oriented tasks were consistent with usual proof instruction for writing a proof and applying…

Yang, Kai-Lin – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2012
In this study, we explored the structural relationship between the students' perceived use of cognitive and metacognitive reading strategies (CMRS) and their reading comprehension of geometry proof (RCGP), and we also examined the differences in students' perceived use of reading strategies among the poor, moderate and good comprehenders. A sample…
