Teachers' pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) importantly contributes to instructional quality and student outcomes. We aimed to complement the limited insights into preservice preschool teachers' PCK, and its association with opportunities to learn (OTL), during teacher training. We offered 162 first-to-final-year preservice preschool teachers…

Torbeyns, Joke; Verschaffel, Lieven – Research in Mathematics Education, 2013
This study analysed children's use of mental computation strategies and standard written algorithms in the domain of multi-digit addition and subtraction, using the choice/no-choice method. Twenty-one Flemish fourth-graders (M[subscript Age] =9y10m) solved problem-items that either stimulated the use of mental computation strategies or a standard…

Conceptualizing, Investigating, and Enhancing Adaptive Expertise in Elementary Mathematics Education
Verschaffel, Lieven; Luwel, Koen; Torbeyns, Joke; Van Dooren, Wim – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2009
Some years ago, Hatano differentiated between routine and adaptive expertise and made a strong plea for the development and implementation of learning environments that aim at the latter type of expertise and not just the former. In this contribution we reflect on one aspect of adaptivity, namely the adaptive use of solution strategies in…

Torbeyns, Joke; De Smedt, Bert; Stassens, Nick; Ghesquiere, Pol; Verschaffel, Lieven – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2009
Subtraction problems of the type a - b = ? can be "flexibly" solved by various strategies, including the indirect addition strategy ("how much do I have to add to b to get at a?"). Little research has been done on the use of the indirect addition strategy with multi-digit numbers. The present literature review entails a summary…

Torbeyns, Joke; Verschaffel, Lieven; Ghesquiere, Pol – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2002
In this study we investigated the variability, frequency, efficiency, and adaptiveness of young children's strategy use in the domain of simple addition by means of the choice/no-choice method. Seventy-seven beginning second-graders, divided in 3 groups according to general mathematical ability, solved a series of 25 simple additions in 3…

Torbeyns, Joke; Verschaffel, Lieven; Ghesquiere, Pol – Learning and Instruction, 2004
This study investigated ability-related differences in strategy use and development in the domain of simple arithmetic, in terms of the model of strategic change, using the choice/no-choice method and the chronological-age/ability-level-match design. Twenty-six second-graders with strong mathematical abilities (MA), 25 second-graders with weak MA,…
