Pradina Parameswari; Purwanto; Sudirman; Susiswo – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2024
Students' difficulties in differentiating the direct proportion and inverse proportion problems cause interference. Proactive interference is the error that occurs when old information (concept of direct proportion) interferes with new information (concept of inverse proportion). In solving the problem of inverse proportion, students often use the…

Moru, Eunice Kolitsoe; Mathunya, Motlatsi – Journal of Research and Advances in Mathematics Education, 2022
Algebra is an important branch of mathematics which applies to many fields related to mathematics. However, many studies show algebra as posing problems even to the most gifted students. This phenomenon, therefore, necessitates more studies to be conducted in this area. As such, the study explored the types of errors that Grade 8 learners…

Bilge, Huzeyfe – Reading & Writing Quarterly, 2023
Although the relationship between reading fluency and high-stakes test achievement is well known, studies were conducted in similar contexts. This correlational study aimed to investigate the relationship between reading error types (insertions, omissions, mispronunciations, and total) and reading fluency (rate, accuracy, and prosody) in narrative…

Analisa Fitria; Subanji; Susiswo; Hery Susanto – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2023
This study diagnoses and explores year eight students' misconceptions and mistakes in algebra. An in-depth exploration of students' misconceptions were carried out by conducting interviews based on the students' work as outlined in a cognitive map. Based on the cognitive maps, it can be seen that the students emphasize procedural knowledge rather…

Aydin-Güç, Funda; Aygün, Derya – International Online Journal of Education and Teaching, 2021
The study aimed to determine the mistakes of students in operations with algebraic expressions, and their misconceptions that may lead to errors. The study adopted case study method, one of the qualitative research models. The participants were composed of 48 (24 boys, 24 girls) randomly selected among 8th grade students in three different classes…

Ilgun Dibek, Munevver; Toker, Zerrin – International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2022
This study seeks to ascertain the degree to which context-based items are offered in Turkish mathematics textbooks as well as the quality of the items in terms of item writing guidelines, whether or not they are given as traditional or context-based. A qualitative research approach is used in this study. The eighth-grade mathematics textbook used…

Chiphambo, Shakespear Maliketi; Mtsi, Nomxolisi – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2021
The calculation of the total surface area of prisms forms part of the Mathematics curriculum in South Africa. This paper explores Grade 8 students' errors when learning about the surface area of prisms. The study was guided by the interpretive paradigm and adopted a qualitative approach in a form of a case study design. Data from diagnostic test's…

Özdemir, Ercan – Shanlax International Journal of Education, 2022
The present study investigates the understanding of the equals sign among middle school students. The study data were gathered from a total of 433 middle school students (111 in the fifth grade, 106 in the sixth grade, 95 in the seventh grade and 121 in the eighth grade) using a ten-item equals sign test developed by the researcher. The study…

Chen, Xiaomeng; Liang, Lelin; Lu, Minghui – International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, 2023
This study explored the effects of visual status and braille reading patterns on the reading accuracy of students with visual impairments in China. The sample consisted of 121 students aged 10-19 years: 48 were students with congenital visual impairments, 25 were students with adventitious visual impairments, and 48 were sighted students. Students…

Lemonidis, Charalampos; Pilianidis, Nikos – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2020
One of the attributes of rational numbers that make them different from integers are the different symbolic modes (fraction, decimal and percentage) to which an identical number can be attributed (e.g. 1/4, 0.25 and 25%). Some research has identified students' difficulty in mental calculations with rational numbers as has also the switching to…

Kshetree, Mukunda Prakash; Acharya, Bed Raj; Khanal, Bishnu; Panthi, Ram Krishna; Belbase, Shashidhar – European Journal of Educational Research, 2021
This paper explores misconceptions and errors (M/Es) of eighth-grade students in Nepal with a quasi-experimental design with nonequivalent control and experimental groups. The treatment was implemented with teaching episodes based on different remedial strategies of addressing students' M/Es. Students of control groups were taught under…

Safadi, Rafi' – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
Troubleshooting activities require students to diagnose teacher-crafted erroneous examples by detecting and explaining the conceptual errors driving them. In a previous study, the author tested whether diagnosing erroneous examples and then scoring them using a rubric that contained the related worked examples, a step-by-step strategy to solve a…

Akbas, Elif Ertem; Alan, Kübra – Online Submission, 2022
Due to the fact that the pandemic process did not occur in a predictable time frame, various difficulties have arisen in the field of education. This is also true in mathematics education, and concretization has been one of the biggest obstacles. This situation paved the way for concept learning errors that may occur in students. There are some…

Makonye, Judah Paul; Fakude, Josiah – SAGE Open, 2016
The study focused on the errors and misconceptions that learners manifest in the addition and subtraction of directed numbers. Skemp's notions of relational and instrumental understanding of mathematics and Sfard's participation and acquisition metaphors of learning mathematics informed the study. Data were collected from 35 Grade 8 learners'…
