Searching for Evidence of Curricular Effect on the Teaching and Learning of Mathematics: Some Insights from the LieCal Project
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Cai, Jinfa – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2014
Drawing on evidence from the Longitudinal Investigation of the Effect of Curriculum on Algebra Learning (LieCal) Project, issues related to mathematics curriculum reform and student learning are discussed. The LieCal Project was designed to longitudinally investigate the impact of a reform mathematics curriculum called the Connected Mathematics…

An Investigation of U.S. and Chinese Students' Mathematical Problem Posing and Problem Solving.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Cai, Jinfa – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 1998
Explores the mathematical problem posing and problem solving of U.S. (N=181) and Chinese (N=223) sixth-grade students. Reports that while Chinese students outperform U.S. students on computational tasks, there are many similarities and differences between U.S. and Chinese students in performing relatively novel tasks. Discusses the direct link…

A Protocol-Analytic Study of Metacognition in Mathematical Problem Solving.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Cai, Jinfa – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 1994
Metacognitive behaviors of subjects having high (n=2) and low (n=2) levels of mathematical experience were compared across four cognitive processes in mathematical problem solving: orientation, organization, execution, and verification. High-experience subjects engaged in self-regulation and spent more time on orientation and organization. (36…
