Book The Effect of Metacognitive Strategy Training on Mathematical Problem Solving Achievement

Download or read book The Effect of Metacognitive Strategy Training on Mathematical Problem Solving Achievement written by Gokhan Ozsoy and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of using metacognitive strategy training on mathematical problem solving achievement. The study took place over a nine-week period with 47 fifth grade students. The experimental group (n = 24) instructed to improve their metacognitive skills. At the same time the students in the control group (n = 23) received no additional activities and continued their normal lessons. Students were pre- and post-tested with the Mathematical Problem Solving Achievement Test and Turkish version of Metacognitive Skills and Knowledge Assessment (MSA-TR). The results indicated that students in the metacognitive treatment group significantly improved in both mathematical problem solving achievement and metacognitive skills. (Contains 6 tables.).

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)

Book Metacognition in Mathematics Education

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.

Book Mathematical 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.

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.
