Peer reviewedMinato, Saburoh; Yanase, Shyoichi – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1984
Investigated whether attitudes toward school mathematics on mathematical achievement differed between low and high intelligence eighth-grade students in three Japanese schools (N=808). Results indicate that the attitude of low intelligence students is more important and it affects more in magnitude than that of high intelligence students. (JN)

Peer reviewedIben, Miriam F. – Comparative Education, 1991
Examines seventh and eighth grade students in Australia, Japan, and the United States for attitudes related to mathematics, and the relationship these attitudes have to students' development of abstract mathematical thought and spatial relations. Study uses the Iowa Algebra Aptitude Test, Differential Aptitude Test-Spatial Relations, and the…

Direct linkDesimone, Laura M.; Smith, Thomas; Baker, David; Ueno, Koji – American Educational Research Journal, 2005
The authors assessed five commonly perceived barriers to increased use of conceptual teaching in mathematics in the United States related to teacher autonomy, trade-offs with computational strategies, student achievement, class size, and teacher qualifications. These barriers were examined through the use of data from nationally representative…

House, J. Daniel – International Journal of Instructional Media, 2006
An important area for the application of instructional design is the development of effective teaching strategies for mathematics. Activities that include the use of computers, cooperative learning, and active learning materials are associated with mathematics achievement. Student self-beliefs are also significantly related to mathematics…

Peer reviewedWalberg, Herbert J. – School Community Journal, 1991
A survey of eighth graders in 11 countries showed that countries whose students averaged the most homework (8 to 9 hours weekly) also had the highest average test scores. Swedish and U.S. students did the least homework (4 to 5 hours weekly) and had the lowest scores. Japan's system is praised and U.S. youth's TV-viewing habits deplored. (MLH)

Sekiguchi, Yasuhiro – International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2005
Mathematical norms are important cultural knowledge of mathematical activities. This paper reports an analysis of mathematical norms in ten consecutive lessons taught by an eighth-grade Japanese teacher. The lessons were located in the unit of simultaneous linear equations. The videotapes of the lessons, their transcripts, and the interview data…
