The present study extends recent advances coordinating research on cognition and psychometric modeling around fractions. Recent research has demonstrated that the Diagnosing Teachers' Multiplicative Reasoning Fractions survey provides information about distinct components necessary for reasoning in terms of quantities when solving fraction…

Beckmann, Sybilla; Izsák, Andrew – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2014
We present a mathematical analysis that distinguishes two quantitative perspectives on ratios and proportional relationships: Multiple Batches and Variable Parts. We argue that (a) existing research on proportional relationships has addressed Multiple Batches but has largely overlooked Variable Parts, (b) Multiple Batches makes the co-variation…

Stevenson, Dean L.; Beckmann, Sybilla; Johnson, Sheri E.; Kang, Rui – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2018
We have extended two perspectives of proportional reasoning to solve problems based in probability. Four future middle grade teachers were enrolled in a mathematics content course that emphasized reasoning about multiplication with quantities. The course expected future teachers to generate and explain methods for solving proportions. Probability…

Beckmann, Sybilla; Davion, Victoria; Desmet, Christy; Harrison, Stephanie; Hudson-Ross, Sally; Mewborn, Denise S.; Oliver, Jenny Penney; Preissle, Judith; Ruppersburg, Hugh – 2001
This paper contains five essays that describe various aspects of a collaboration called the Deans' Forum at the University of Georgia. A group of 30 faculty committed to exploring issues such as the nature and quality of instruction in university courses, course and curriculum design, learning theories relevant to college age learners, the role of…
