Teachers' conceptions of mathematics and students' achievement: A cross-cultural study based on results from TIMSSStudies in Educational Evaluation
(1999)
Teachers' conceptions of mathematics and its pedagogy are generally considered to be important determinants in understanding teachers' thought processes, classroom practices, and their learning to teach. Teachers' overall ...
Perceptions of future and current teachers on the organization of elementary schools: A dissonance approach to the investigation of job satisfaction
(2002)
The study compares the satisfaction ratings of future and current elementary school teachers with respect to the main aspects of school organization and administration. Data were collected from 66 in-service teachers and ...
An empirical taxonomy of problem posing processes
(2005)
This article focuses on the construction, description and testing of a theoretical model of problem posing. We operationalize procesess that are frequently described in problem solving and problem posing literature in order ...
Preservice Teachers' Self-Esteem and Mathematics Achievement
(2001)
The purpose of this article is to examine the relationship between preservice teachers' general self-esteem and mathematics achievement through the inclusion of variables that are supported by recent research in psychology ...
A framework of mathematics inductive reasoning
(2007)
Based on a synthesis of the literature in inductive reasoning, a framework for prescribing and assessing mathematics inductive reasoning of primary school students was formulated and validated. The major constructs ...

The development of mental processing: Efficiency, working memory, and thinking
(2002)
This Monograph aims to contribute to the information processing, the differential, and the developmental modeling of the mind, and to work these into an integrated theory. Toward this aim, a longitudinal study is presented ...
Examining number sense and algebraic reasoning through cognitive styles
(2013)
Recently, a new cognitive style approach was introduced, which refers to two types of visualizers. This approach is based on neuropsychological evidence and neuroimaging results, which suggest the existence of two distinct ...
The difficulty level of representations in mathematical relationships
(Centre for Experimental Educational Research, 2002)
Le présent article analyse les niveaux de difficultés liés aux traductions de diverses représentations de relations mathématiques. Les difficultés relatives associées aux relations ainsi qu'aux niveaux de développement ont ...
The embodied, proceptual, and formal worlds in the context of functions
(2005)
In this study we use Tall et al.’s (2000) theory on mathematical concept development, which describes three worlds of operations, the embodied, the proceptual and the formal (Tall, 2004; Tall, 2003; Watson, Spirou, & Tall, ...
