Construction and Validation of a Questionnaire on Metacognitive Knowledge Needed in Solving Mathematical Word Problems to be Used in Interviews
To provide researchers with an instrument, valid and reliable enough, for measuring students’ metacognitive knowledge needed in solving mathematical word problems, based on the theoretical foundation and previous research, a set of 24 questions at three levels of metacognitive knowledge was constructed. The initial validity of these questions was confirmed by Psychology Professors and high scho...
متن کاملassessment of deep word knowledge in elementary and advanced iranian efl learners: a comparison of selective and productive wat tasks
testing plays a vital role in any language teaching program. it allows teachers and stakeholders, including program administrators, parents, admissions officers and prospective employers to be assured that the learners are progressing according to an accepted standard (douglas, 2010). the problems currently facing language testers have both practical and theoretical implications but the first i...
Generating Mathematical Word Problems
This paper describes a prototype system that generates mathematical word problems from ontologies in unrestricted domains. It builds on an existing ontology verbaliser that renders logical statements written in Web Ontology Language (OWL) as English sentences. This kind of question is more complex than those normally attempted by question generation systems, since mathematical word problems con...
متن کاملSolving General Arithmetic Word Problems
This paper presents a novel approach to automatically solving arithmetic word problems. This is the first algorithmic approach that can handle arithmetic problems with multiple steps and operations, without depending on additional annotations or predefined templates. We develop a theory for expression trees that can be used to represent and evaluate the target arithmetic expressions; we use it ...
متن کاملSources of Difficulty in Multi-Step Geometry Area Problems
Although U.S. students often perform well on basic, singlestep math problems, they often struggle with extended, multistep free-response problems. This study examines the sources of difficulty in multi-step geometry area problems. We found that the presence of distracters creates significant difficulty for students solving geometry area problems, but that practice on composite area problems imp...
