A Comparison of Activity Structures During Basic Skills and Problem-Solving Instruction in Seventh-Grade Mathematics.
Burns, Robert B.; Lash, Andrea A.
American Educational Research Journal, v23 n3 p393-414 Fall 1986
This study describes problem solving instruction by nine seventh grade mathematics teachers and compares it to basic skills instruction. Comparison of the activity structures and teacher and observer ratings reveals few major differences between types of instruction. Between-teacher differences in activity structures were greater than differences across instructional types. (BS)
