Pre-service teachers’ procedural and conceptual knowledge of fractions
The study examined pre-service elementary teachers and newly accepted secondary non-math and science major students at a university. The study examined weaknesses of students in conceptual and procedural understanding of fractions. It also examined whether there were differences in math fractional knowledge for both groups. The study found students’ weaknesses were in solving word fraction prob...
متن کاملRelations among conceptual knowledge, procedural knowledge, and procedural flexibility in two samples differing in prior knowledge.
Competence in many domains rests on children developing conceptual and procedural knowledge, as well as procedural flexibility. However, research on the developmental relations between these different types of knowledge has yielded unclear results, in part because little attention has been paid to the validity of the measures or to the effects of prior knowledge on the relations. To overcome th...
متن کاملRe-"conceptualizing" Procedural Knowledge in Mathematics
Many mathematics educators have lost sight of the critical importance of the mathematical "understanding" which underlies procedural competence, in part because we do not have a language to refer to this kind of understanding. The modal way of categorizing mathematical knowledge -conceptual and procedural knowledge -is limited in that: (a) it is almost exclusively focused on the mathematics of ...
متن کاملUndergraduate students’ performance and confidence in procedural and conceptual mathematics
The general perception is that high school teaching of mathematics tends to be fairly procedural in South Africa and that students that enter university are better equipped to deal with procedural problems rather than conceptual. In this study we compare the conceptual and procedural skills of first year calculus students in life sciences. We also investigate students’ confidence in handling co...
متن کاملConceptual and Procedural Knowledge of Mathematics: Does One Lead to the Other?
This study examined relations between children's conceptual understanding of mathematical equivalence and their procedures for solving equivalence problems (e.g., 3 + 4 + 5 = 3 + ). Students in 4th and 5th grades completed assessments of their conceptual and procedural knowledge of equivalence, both before and after a brief lesson. The instruction focused either on the concept of equivalence or...
