The Reality and Potential of Correcting Pupils' Work in Mathematics.
Baruk, Stella
Educational Studies in Mathematics, v18 n3 p273-303 Aug 1987
Discusses the correction of students' work in mathematics. Argues that none of the principles upon which the corrections are based are valid. Urges teachers to avoid negativism, work toward neutrality in the corrections process, and pay more attention to the logic used by the students in getting their answers. (TW)
