Polotskaia, Elena; Savard, Annie – Research in Mathematics Education, 2018
Pupils' difficulties in solving word problems continue to attract attention: while researchers highlight the importance of relational reasoning and modelling, school curricula typically use short word problems to develop pupils' knowledge of arithmetic operations and calculation strategies. The Relational Paradigm attributes the leading role in…

Robinson, Evan Throop – Canadian Journal of Action Research, 2018
To develop the mathematical discourse of an elementary classroom, I designed an action research project around an intervention of Open Space Technology (OST). Guided by the theoretical perspective of complexity thinking, OST principles created a 'space' or a new structure for learning, where participants self-organized according to interests and…

Goulet, Julie; Archambault, Isabelle; Morizot, Julien; Olivier, Elizabeth; Tardif-Grenier, Kristel – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2023
Studies highlighting the importance of parental involvement in schooling have multiplied over the past years. However, well-validated tools assessing the different dimensions of parental involvement are lacking, especially when addressing young students' perception of their parents' involvement. This study offers a preliminary validation of the…

Kim, Beaumie; Bastani, Reyhaneh; Takeuchi, Miwa A. – Pedagogies: An International Journal, 2023
In this article, we discuss embodied mathematical practices in the context of learners' board game (re)design activities. By focusing on "redesigning" a board game as a pedagogical approach, rather than designing one from scratch, we intended to limit the vast creative design possibilities and engage learners more deeply with the…

Kalubi, Jodi; Riglea, Teodora; O'Loughlin, Erin K.; Potvin, Louise; O'Loughlin, Jennifer – Journal of School Health, 2023
Background: The context in which school-based health-promoting interventions are implemented is key for the delivery and success of these interventions. However, little is known about whether school culture differs by school deprivation. Methods: Using data from PromeSS, a cross-sectional study of 161 elementary schools in Québec, Canada, we drew…

Herbert, Sandra; Bragg, Leicha A. – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2017
Mathematical reasoning features in curriculum documents around the world, but is understood and enacted poorly by teachers in classrooms. We explore teachers' noticing of reasoning during observed lessons. Two teams of primary teachers in Canada and Australia worked to plan, deliver, and observe lessons intended to include reasoning. They observed…

Peets, Kathleen F.; Yim, Odilia; Bialystok, Ellen – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2022
Numerous studies on reading comprehension with monolingual children have shown that oral language, such as vocabulary, is an important factor in predicting reading comprehension success. However, few studies have looked at the reading comprehension performance of bilinguals, and less is known about the contributors to its success, linguistic or…

Ferreira, Jonathan; Kendrick, Maureen; Panangamu, Sam – Literacy, 2022
In 2021, more than 80 million people worldwide will have been forced to flee their homes. Upon arrival in their new country, families may endure numerous hardships, yet succumbing to these challenges is not their single story. To understand how migrant-background and refugee-background children imagine more liveable futures beyond social and…

Andrews, Naomi C. Z.; McDowell, Hannah; Spadafora, Natalie; Dane, Andrew V. – School Psychology, 2022
In social groups, such as school-based peer networks, youth often vie for power and dominance over others. Different strategies may be used to gain power (i.e., coercive and/or cooperative strategies), and with varying levels of success. Using a social networks approach, we examined whether and how social network centrality and social network…

Lunney Borden, Lisa; Throop-Robinson, Evan; Carter, Ellen; Prosper, Suzanna – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2021
Building from the concept of verbing mathematics as a culturally consistent and enabling mathematics education practice for Mi'kmaw learners, the authors present an elementary multiplication lesson affectionately named "Sets of, Rows of, Jumps of". Through examination of this specific set of tasks emerging notions of structuring, play,…

Azam, Saiqa; Menon, Deppika – Electronic Journal for Research in Science & Mathematics Education, 2021
The purpose of this mixed-methods research was to investigate changes in preservice elementary teachers' science teaching beliefs and explain how these beliefs influence the way these teachers interpret their science teaching and learning experiences. Supported by the theoretical underpinnings of teacher beliefs and drawings as a tool to…

Peng, Aihui; Cao, Li – Frontiers of Education in China, 2021
As part of a large reciprocal learning partnership project between Canada and China, this study explored Canadian teachers' perceptions of mathematics teaching in elementary schools in China. Using reciprocal learning and Activity Theory as the theoretical lens, we collected data, i.e., classroom observations, group discussion, and informal…
