Assessing Students' Mathematical Thinking through Interpersonal Process Recall.
Usnick, Virginia E.; Brown, Sue – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1992
Interpersonal Process Recall (IPR) is a technique in which audiotapes are used to evoke students' memories concerning their own thinking. Reports a study using IPR to probe elementary students' (n=17) thinking during a problem-solving situation. Concluded that IPR has potential in classroom research. (MDH)
