Examined differential effects that two components of self-management (self-initiated feedback and externally initiated feedback) separately and in combination had on on-task arithmetic behavior of sixth-grade students (N=32). Results revealed significant difference in on-task behavior between control group and treatment group that experienced both…

This study focused on the extent to which the comparison of isomorphic problems might enrich subjects' representations and solving strategies. Results with 166 sixth graders solving isomorphic problems show that comprehension increased as problems were processed and that simultaneous presentation of all problems was more favorable than successive…

Positioning theory was used in my interpretation of the social interactions between Year 6 children during science activities. By examining the unproductive journey taken by students in one female dyad as they interacted with students in both mixed-gender and same-gender groups, it was possible to consider how gender, status, and power relations…
