Book excerpt: This study aims to establish the extent to which metacognitive training plays a part in Singapore primary students' word problem solving in a computer environment. The study involved 142 Singapore 11 to 12-year-old students from two primary schools. The study adopts a two-phase design, combining a quasi-experimental design and a case study design. For the quasi-experimental design, analysis of students' mathematical achievement test data is used to investigate the relationship between metacognitive training, students' level of mathematical achievement and their mathematical word problem solving performance. For the case study design, analysis of the think aloud protocol data during word problem solving of eight pairs of students is used to explore the role of metacognition in mathematical word problem solving in a computer environment. In addition, student questionnaire and teacher interview data provide descriptive accounts of students' metacognitive knowledge during mathematical word problem solving. The findings from the analysis of mathematical achievement test and think aloud protocol data reveal that metacognitive training results in improvement in mathematical word problem solving performance, and that lower achievers appear to show the full benefit from metacognitive training only after a period of time. The findings of the think aloud protocol data also reveal that i)generating metacognitive behaviours, and knowing when and how to use them during word problem solving are important determinants for successful word problem solving, and ii) students have distinctive progressions of word problem solving activity which can be represented by five types of cognitive-metacognitive word problem solving models. These progressions of word problem solving activity seem to relate to students' success in word problem solving. It is also proposed that there is a relationship between affect, students' ability to develop metacognitive awareness, and word problem solving. In addition, effective pair collaboration is influenced by students' mathematical beliefs, and how students are paired according to their metacognitive knowledge. The educational and pedagogical implications of these findings are discussed, particularly in relation to the Singaporean context.

This book was released on 2007-02-01 with total page 1380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The audience remains much the same as for the 1992 Handbook, namely, mathematics education researchers and other scholars conducting work in mathematics education. This group includes college and university faculty, graduate students, investigators in research and development centers, and staff members at federal, state, and local agencies that conduct and use research within the discipline of mathematics. The intent of the authors of this volume is to provide useful perspectives as well as pertinent information for conducting investigations that are informed by previous work. The Handbook should also be a useful textbook for graduate research seminars. In addition to the audience mentioned above, the present Handbook contains chapters that should be relevant to four other groups: teacher educators, curriculum developers, state and national policy makers, and test developers and others involved with assessment. Taken as a whole, the chapters reflects the mathematics education research community's willingness to accept the challenge of helping the public understand what mathematics education research is all about and what the relevance of their research fi ndings might be for those outside their immediate community.

This book was released on 2015-08-01 with total page 1800 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mathematics and Science education have both grown in fertile directions in different geographic regions. Yet, the mainstream discourse in international handbooks does not lend voice to developments in cognition, curriculum, teacher development, assessment, policy and implementation of mathematics and science in many countries. Paradoxically, in spite of advances in information technology and the “flat earth” syndrome, old distinctions and biases between different groups of researcher’s persist. In addition limited accessibility to conferences and journals also contribute to this problem. The International Sourcebooks in Mathematics and Science Education focus on under-represented regions of the world and provides a platform for researchers to showcase their research and development in areas within mathematics and science education. The First Sourcebook on Asian Research in Mathematics Education: China, Korea, Singapore, Japan, Malaysia and India provides the first synthesized treatment of mathematics education that has both developed and is now prominently emerging in the Asian and South Asian world. The book is organized in sections coordinated by leaders in mathematics education in these countries and editorial teams for each country affiliated with them. The purpose of unique sourcebook is to both consolidate and survey the established body of research in these countries with findings that have influenced ongoing research agendas and informed practices in Europe, North America (and other countries) in addition to serving as a platform to showcase existing research that has shaped teacher education, curricula and policy in these Asian countries. The book will serve as a standard reference for mathematics education researchers, policy makers, practitioners and students both in and outside Asia, and complement the Nordic and NCTM perspectives.

Abstract: Abstract The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of metacognitive training in the course of Mathematics Olympiad for Primary 6 students. Two students were in the group of metacognitive training and past training method respectively. This study adopted a case study design where analysis of the students' problem solving behaviours was used to explore the role of metacognition in problem solving. The difference between the problem solving behaviour of the students with metacognitive training and past training method could be observed. The metacognitive training program, IMPROVE (Mevarech and Kramarski, 1997), was adopted in the study. The skillful arithmetic problems were selected for primary 6 students on problem solving of Mathematics Olympiad. By examining the students' written work and video tapes, it was found that the majority of their adopted strategies revealed successful self-monitoring process in the metacognitive training. Moreover, results from the students exposed to the metacognitive training outperformed those exposed to the past training method on the ability to solve problems. As a result, metacognitive training seemed to provide an effective way for students learning and solving problems. Metacognition allowed students to use the prior knowledge acquired in the lessons in a flexible and strategic way. The metacognitive questions appeared to activate prior knowledge, analyse information and to self-monitor their progress by assessing and correcting their mistakes. The 2students had the habit of checking errors in the steps and correct the mistakes during solving problems. Besides, after solving the problems about the same topic, the students transferred the prior knowledge to the new acquired one. They might deduce the rules of calculation.

Download or read book Metacognition in Mathematics Education written by Marcel Veenman and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For some decades, theoretical and empirical research has focused on the phenomenon of metacognition and its overwhelming importance to human learning and performance. The real growth in theoretical and empirical studies about metacognition started with the work of Flavell at the end of the 1970s in the context of research on metamemory. The metacognitive concept has been very successful stimulating a lot of studies. The metacognitive research on reading peaked in the 1980s and has levelled since. Metacognition has more recently also been applied to mathematics. Metacognition can be differentiated into two central components, namely metacognitive knowledge and metacognitive processes or skills. In the same vein, Brown (1978) distinguished metacognitive knowledge about the interaction between person, task, and strategies characteristics from the regulation of one's own cognitive activities. The purpose of this book is to help to summarise and clarify some of the issues on the conceptualisation, the assessment and the training of metacognition on mathematical issues in learners with and without mathematics learning disabilities. metacognition in mathematics performance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the point of intersection between cognition, metacognition, and culture in learning and teaching Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). We explore theoretical background and cutting-edge research about how various forms of cognitive and metacognitive instruction may enhance learning and thinking in STEM classrooms from K-12 to university and in different cultures and countries. Over the past several years, STEM education research has witnessed rapid growth, attracting considerable interest among scholars and educators. The book provides an updated collection of studies about cognition, metacognition and culture in the four STEM domains. The field of research, cognition and metacognition in STEM education still suffers from ambiguity in meanings of key concepts that various researchers use. This book is organized according to a unique manner: Each chapter features one of the four STEM domains and one of the three themes—cognition, metacognition, and culture—and defines key concepts. This matrix-type organization opens a new path to knowledge in STEM education and facilitates its understanding. The discussion at the end of the book integrates these definitions for analyzing and mapping the STEM education research.

Metacognition, in addition to cognitive skills such as mathematical knowledge and heuristics, also plays a critical role in successful problem solving. The present study focuses on teaching students to use metacognitive questions in mathematical problem solving in order to promote their self-regulatory skills. Three Secondary three students were asked to solve difficult geometric proof problems before and after metacognitive training in a collaborative learning setting. A qualitative approach was adopted to analyze the changes in the students' problem solving behaviors. Besides, the effects of using metacognitive questions on those changes were examined. The results indicated a shift of problem solving resources for more purposeful and structural processes. Moreover, the findings suggested that using metacognitive questions after training effectively triggers self-regulatory activities in the problem solving process. From a practical perspective, the study showed that students' problem solving abilities could be enhanced if they were trained to ask each other appropriate task-related metacognitive questions in solving the problem.
