Analogizing during Mathematical Problem Solving -- Theoretical and Empirical Considerations
Assmus, Daniela; Förster, Frank; Fritzlar, Torsten
North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, Paper presented at the Joint Meeting of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (PME) (38th) and the North American Chapter of the Psychology of Mathematics Education (PME-NA) (36th, Vancouver, Canada, Jul 15-20, 2014)
The aim of the paper is to provide a process model to evaluate mathematical problem solving by analogy, in order to better determine at which point and under what conditions a learner is prompted to use analogies. The model is a theoretical construct. Qualitative results of an empirical study are used to underline and illustrate core aspects of the model. [For the complete proceedings, see ED597799.]
