This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 1405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of the Handbook is to present readily accessible, but scholarly sources of information about educational research in the Asia-Pacific region. The scale and scope of the Handbook is such that the articles included in it provide substantive contributions to knowledge and understanding of education in the Asia region. In so doing, the articles present the problems and issues facing education in the region and the findings of research conducted within the region that contribute to the resolution of these problems and issues. Moreover, since new problems and issues are constantly arising, the articles in the Handbook also indicate the likely directions of future developments. The different articles within the Handbook seek to conceptualize the problems in each specific content area under review, provide an integration of the research conducted within that area, the theoretical basis of the research the practical implications of the research and the contribution of the research towards the resolution of the problems identified. Thus, the articles do not involve the reporting of newly conducted research, but rather require a synthesis of the research undertaken in a particular area, with reference to the research methods employed and the theoretical frameworks on which the research is based. In general, the articles do not advocate a single point of view, but rather, present alternative points of view and comment on the debate and disagreements associated with the conduct and findings of the research. Furthermore, it should be noted, that the Handbook is not concerned with research methodology, and only considers the methods employed in inquiry in so far as the particular methods of research contribute to the effective investigation of problems and issues that have arisen in the conduct and provision of education at different levels within the region.

This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a cognitive- and metacognitive-strategy instruction on the mathematical problem-solving performance and metacognitive experience of 22 seventh- and eighth-grade students with learning disabilities. When solving mathematical word problems, students with learning disabilities typically lack self-regulation processes (Larson & Gerber, 2002) tend to respond impulsively, to use trial and error, and fail to evaluate or verify their solutions (Bryant, Bryant, & Hammermill, 2000). This study used the Metacognitive Experience Survey (MES), two sets of three mathematical-word-problem probes of varying complexity levels, and think-aloud protocols to measure intervention effect. The first research question probed the effect of the intervention on the mathematical-problem-solving performance of the participants as measured by their metacognitive verbalizations collected through think-aloud protocols. Qualitative analysis of the transcripts revealed four emerging themes: students with high metacognition were more successful in performing tasks correctly even when their nonproductive metacognitive verbalizations were above 25.0%; students in the high- and average-metacognition categories successfully solved the 3-step probe, whereas students in the low-metacognition category were not successful in solving the 3-step probe; students in the low-metacognition category used less productive metacognitive verbalizations as the complexity level of the probe increased; and students from all the metacognition categories extensively used cognitive- metacognitive strategies compared with preintervention observations. The second research question probed the intervention effect on the mathematical- problem-solving performance of the participants as measured by the change from pre- to postintervention scores on two sets of three mathematical probes. A dependent-samples t test revealed no strong statistically significant relationships. One weak but statistically significant relationship was found for students' performance on the 1-step probe. There was an increase in the means for the 1-step and 3-step probes from pre- to postintervention. For the 2- and 3-stepstep probes, however, the change from pre- to postintervention was not statistically significant. The third research question probed the effect of the strategy instruction on the metacognitive experience of the participants as measured by the MES. A dependent-samples t test results indicated an increase in the participants' metacognitive experience means from pre- to postintervention but the postintervention mean was not statistically significantly different than the preintervention mean. Notwithstanding that statistically significant changes were not realized across the MES and the mathematical-word-problem probes, important insights were obtained from the think-aloud protocols.
Download or read book Mathematical Problem Solving written by Frank K. Lester and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This set of papers was originally developed for a conference on Issues and Directions in Mathematics Problem Solving Research held at Indiana University in May 1981. The purpose is to contribute to the clear formulation of the key issues in mathematical problem-solving research by presenting the ideas of actively involved researchers. An introduction provides an overview of each paper. The papers focus on the psychology of mathematical problem solving (R. E. Mayer), knowledge organization (E. A. Silver), implications from information-processing psychology, (D. J. Briars) building bridges between psychological and mathematics education research (F. K. Lester, Jr.), measuring problem solving outcomes (G. A. Goldin), a model for elementary teacher training in problem solving (J. F. LeBlanc), applied problem solving (R. Lesh, and M. Akerstrom), a concept-learning perspective (R. J. Shumway), and a statement of issues (H. L. Schoen). (MNS)

Download or read book Impact of Micro teaching on Achievement and Engagement in Mathematics written by Carlos Monzon (Graduate student) and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This action research explores the question: What does an investigation about an innovative approach to learning mathematics called peer micro-teaching reveal about student engagement and achievement in mathematics? The notion that we learn best when we teach others is nothing new. Neither is the pedagogical strategy of peer teaching. This thesis however, explores the effects that teaching students how to write lesson plans would have on their math scores and engagement levels. Students were explicitly taught how to write a three-phased direct-instruction lesson plan including how to use metacognitive "think alouds" while teaching their peers. Both achievement and engagement were measured using paired sampled t-tests. Achievement and engagement were also measured using qualitative data gathered from open-ended test and survey questions. Results showed a statistically significant increase in achievement and noteworthy growth in engagement. The qualitative findings for achievement displayed a rise in metacognitive thought and ability to express problem solving strategies. Qualitative engagement samples showed students willingness to participate in peer teaching and self-reflection.

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.

Download or read book Affect and Mathematical Problem Solving written by Douglas B. McLeod and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on cognitive aspects of mathematical problem solving has made great progress in recent years, but the relationship of affective factors to problem-solving performance has been a neglected research area. The purpose of Affect and Mathematical Problem Solving: A New Perspective is to show how the theories and methods of cognitive science can be extended to include the role of affect in mathematical problem solving. The book presents Mandler's theory of emotion and explores its implications for the learning and teaching of mathematical problem solving. Also, leading researchers from mathematics, education, and psychology report how they have integrated affect into their own cognitive research. The studies focus on metacognitive processes, aesthetic influences on expert problem solvers, teacher decision-making, technology and teaching problem solving, and beliefs about mathematics. The results suggest how emotional factors like anxiety, frustration, joy, and satisfaction can help or hinder performance in problem solving.
Download or read book Mathematical Problem Solving written by ALAN H. SCHOENFELD and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-06-28 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is addressed to people with research interests in the nature of mathematical thinking at any level, topeople with an interest in "higher-order thinking skills" in any domain, and to all mathematics teachers. The focal point of the book is a framework for the analysis of complex problem-solving behavior. That framework is presented in Part One, which consists of Chapters 1 through 5. It describes four qualitatively different aspects of complex intellectual activity: cognitive resources, the body of facts and procedures at one's disposal; heuristics, "rules of thumb" for making progress in difficult situations; control, having to do with the efficiency with which individuals utilize the knowledge at their disposal; and belief systems, one's perspectives regarding the nature of a discipline and how one goes about working in it. Part Two of the book, consisting of Chapters 6 through 10, presents a series of empirical studies that flesh out the analytical framework. These studies document the ways that competent problem solvers make the most of the knowledge at their disposal. They include observations of students, indicating some typical roadblocks to success. Data taken from students before and after a series of intensive problem-solving courses document the kinds of learning that can result from carefully designed instruction. Finally, observations made in typical high school classrooms serve to indicate some of the sources of students' (often counterproductive) mathematical behavior.
