Karen Zwanch; Sarah Kerrigan – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2023
Units coordination, defined by Steffe (1992) as the mental distribution of one composite unit (i.e., a unit of units) "over the elements of another composite unit" (p. 264) is a powerful tool for modeling students' mathematical thinking in the context of whole number and fractional reasoning. This paper proposes extending the idea of a…

Kilicoglu, Elif; Kaplan, Abdullah – Athens Journal of Education, 2022
In this study, it was investigated whether it would be possible to observe abstraction processes of secondary school 7th graders using the Revised Bloom's Taxonomy. For this purpose, eight students participated in the study. The study was conducted at a state secondary school in Turkey. Purposeful sampling method was used in the selection of…

Ahmed, Ayesha; Howe, Christine; Major, Louis; Hennessy, Sara; Mercer, Neil; Warwick, Paul – International Journal of Research & Method in Education, 2022
As part of an investigation into the relationship between classroom dialogue and student outcome, a test of reasoning has been developed that is suitable for preadolescents (i.e. c.10-13-year-olds). Building on previous work but expanding this considerably, the test focuses upon four areas of reasoning: differentiation of facts from opinions,…

Khatin-Zadeh, Omid; Farsani, Danyal; Yazdani-Fazlabadi, Babak – Cogent Education, 2022
In this article, we discuss the process of understanding continuity, which is one of the most fundamental concepts in mathematics. The continuity of mathematical functions is formally defined in terms of abstract symbols and operations. This representation of continuity is very abstract or dis-embodied. Therefore, it is difficult to acquire a…

Hee-Sun Lee; Gey-Hong Gweon; Aubree Webb; Dan Damelin; Chad Dorsey – Science Education, 2024
This study addresses the measurement of high school students' epistemic knowledge associated with scientific experimentation (EKSE) which concerns "how" scientific experimentation generates knowledge and "why" that knowledge is justified. Based on philosophical, educational standards, and literature analyses, an EKSE construct…

Anna Ida Säfström; Johan Lithner; Torulf Palm; Björn Palmberg; Johan Sidenvall; Catarina Andersson; Erika Boström; Carina Granberg – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2024
It is well-known that a key to promoting students' mathematics learning is to provide opportunities for problem solving and reasoning, but also that maintaining such opportunities in student-teacher interaction is challenging for teachers. In particular, teachers need support for identifying students' specific difficulties, in order to select…

Ayça K. Fackler; Daniel K. Capps – International Journal of Science Education, 2024
The literature on scientific modelling practices in science education has provided a fruitful discussion on how learners tend to view models vs. how and what they should think about them. One approach is to teach students that models are abstractions so that they do not view them as a copy of phenomena they represent. Although teaching students…

Macy Jenette Bennett – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Clinical judgment is a priority nursing skill to ensure the delivery of safe and effective nursing care. New graduate nurses lack the clinical judgment skills that are necessary for entry-level nursing practice. Nurse educators must therefore implement teaching strategies that foster clinical judgment. This study evaluated the clinical judgment of…

Vesife Hatisaru; Julia Collins; Steven Richardson; Constantine Lozanovski – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2024
Whilst educational goals in recent years for mathematics education are foregrounded the development of mathematical competencies, little is known about mathematics teachers' competencies. In this study, a group of practising teachers were asked to solve an algebra problem, and their solutions were analysed to determine the competencies apparent…

Abu-Ghalyoun, Omar – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2021
Past studies have documented some pre-service teachers' (PSTs) difficulties in reasoning about sampling variability. This study adds to the body of literature by investigating the ideas that PSTs employ in reasoning about sampling variability, and by conjecturing what is behind the difficulties especially during the contextuality episodes. This…

Tecwyn, Emma C.; Mazumder, Pingki; Buchsbaum, Daphna – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Knowing the temporal direction of causal relations is critical for producing desired outcomes and explaining events. Existing evidence suggests that children start to grasp that causes must precede their effects (the temporal priority principle) by age 3; however, whether younger children also understand this has, to our knowledge, not previously…

Urhan, Selin; Bülbül, Ali – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2023
Habermas' construct of rationality is a tool adapted from social sciences into mathematics education to identify the difficulties in the proving process and to plan the teaching of proof for reducing these difficulties. According to Habermas, people engaged in an activity/action are considered to "act rationally" if they choose and use…

Eslit, Edgar R. – Online Submission, 2023
In today's complex and rapidly changing world, integrating values, critical thinking, and moral reasoning in language and literature education is crucial for equipping students with the skills to navigate multifaceted ethical dilemmas and become responsible global citizens. This article highlights the connection between language, literature,…

Hea-Jin Lee; Hee-Jeong Kim – Educational Studies, 2024
This study aimed to characterise preservice teachers' (PSTs') noticing in a mathematics classroom and its influence on their lesson modification. Written narratives on video-taped lesson observation were analysed qualitatively in two components, attending and reasoning. The findings indicate that PSTs' initial noticing focused on general…

Randall E. Groth – Numeracy, 2024
Pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) traditionally has been used in research concerning prospective and practicing classroom teachers. This essay argues that PCK is also relevant to other professions including those advancing quantitative reasoning (QR). To illustrate, the case of PCK for teaching QR is considered. Those in fields such as public…
