Direct linkGil, Einat; Ben-Zvi, Dani – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2011
Explanations are considered to be key aids to understanding the study of mathematics, science, and other complex disciplines. This paper discusses the role of students' explanations in making sense of data and learning to reason informally about statistical inference. We closely follow students' explanations in which they utilize their experiences…

Goetz, Thomas; Preckel, Franzis; Pekrun, Reinhard; Hall, Nathan C. – Learning and Individual Differences, 2007
This study examined test-related experiences of enjoyment, anger, anxiety, and boredom in a sample of 2059 German school students (50% female) from grade 6, and how they relate to students' abstract reasoning ability (ARA). Emotions were assessed immediately before, during, and after a mathematics achievement test. Analysis of variance showed that…
