Developing Conceptual Understanding and Procedural Skill in Mathematics: An Iterative Process.
Rittle-Johnson, Bethany; Siegler, Robert S.; Alibali, Martha Wagner
Journal of Educational Psychology, v93 n2 p346-62 Jun 2001
Proposes that conceptual and procedural knowledge develop in an iterative fashion and improved problem representation is one mechanism underlying the relations between them. Two experiments were conducted with 5th and 6th grade students learning about decimal fractions. Results indicate conceptual and procedural knowledge do develop, iteratively, with improved problem representation as part of the process. (BF)
