Vicente, Santiago; Verschaffel, Lieven; Sánchez, Rosario; Múñez, David – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2022
The success or failure of education systems in promoting student problem-solving skills depends on attitudinal, political, and pedagogical variables. Among these variables, the design of mathematics textbooks is thought to partially explain why students from high-achieving countries show better problem-solving ability in international assessments.…

Tan, Da Yang; Tay, Eng Guan; Teo, Kok Ming; Shutler, Paul M. E. – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2021
In this work, we report the emergence of the Hands, Head and Heart framework that arose within the curriculum review for subject knowledge courses for primary school pre-service teachers in the National Institute of Education, Singapore. Through an initial grounded analysis of a survey of pre-service teachers and faculty focus group meeting data,…

Lim, Siew Yee; Chapman, Elaine – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2015
For decades, educators have advocated using history of mathematics in mathematics classrooms. Empirical research on the efficacy of this practice, however, is scarce. A quasi-experiment was used to investigate the effects of using history as a tool to teach mathematics on grade 11 students' mathematics achievement. Effects in three affective…

Jiang, Chunlian; Hwang, Stephen; Cai, Jinfa – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2014
This study examined 361 Chinese and 345 Singaporean sixth-grade students' performance and problem-solving strategies for solving 14 problems about speed. By focusing on students from two distinct high-performing countries in East Asia, we provide a useful perspective on the differences that exist in the preparation and problem-solving strategies…

Forgasz, Helen; Leder, Gilah; Tan, Hazel – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2014
Mathematics continues to be an enabling discipline for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)-based university studies and related careers. Explanatory models for females' underrepresentation in higher level mathematics and STEM-based courses comprise learner-related and environmental variables--including societal beliefs. Using…

Heng, Mary Anne; Sudarshan, Akhila – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2013
This paper examines the perceptions and understandings of ten grades 1 and 2 Singapore mathematics teachers as they learned to use clinical interviews (Ginsburg, "Human Development" 52:109-128, 2009) to understand students' mathematical thinking. This study challenged teachers' pedagogical assumptions about what it means to teach for…

Lim, Siew Yee; Chapman, Elaine – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2013
Existing instruments designed to measure mathematics attitudes were too long, dated, or assessed with only western samples. To address this issue, a shortened version of the Attitudes Toward Mathematics Inventory (short ATMI) which measures four subscales--;enjoyment of mathematics, motivation to do mathematics, self-confidence in mathematics, and…

Fan, Lianghuo; Zhu, Yan – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2007
This study examined how selected school mathematics textbooks in China, Singapore, and USA at the lower secondary grade level represent problem-solving procedures. The analysis of problem-solving procedures was carried out in two layers--general strategies, which adopted Polya's four-stage problem-solving model, and specific strategies, which…
