Analysis of Precurrent Skills in Solving Mathematics Story Problems

Abstract: We conducted an analysis of precurrent skills (responses that increase the effectiveness of a subsequent or "current" behavior in obtaining a reinforcer) to facilitate the solution of arithmetic word (story) problems. Two students with developmental disabilities were taught four precurrent responses (identifying the initial value, change value, operation, and resulting value) in a sequential manner. Results of a multiple baseline design across behaviors showed that the teaching procedures were effective in inc… Show more

“…Regarding the teaching of algorithms, in the research by Henklain and Carmo (2013), the rule was long and probably insufficiently clear. In the present investigation, based on the studies by Neef et al (2003), we sought to simplify the rules by dividing them into small steps: identifying (a) the operation, (b) the position of the unknown, (c) the available values; and, based on the previous steps, (d) conducting the sum or the subtraction with the elements presented in the problem. The results of this research can be divided into two categories: assessment of problem-solving performance, and verification of the improvement of this performance as a function of the adopted teaching procedures.…”

“…133,Caçari I,Boa Vista,Roraima, Estudos apontam sistematicamente dificuldades no ensino do comportamento de resolver problemas de adição e subtração (Fossa & Sá, 2008;Magina, Santana, Cazorla, & Campos, 2010;Neef, Nelles, Iwata, & Page, 2003;Vasconcelos, 1998). Para um ensino eficaz, o professor precisa conhecer o repertório comportamental que define a solução de problemas, bem como o que determina a dificuldade do problema e as habilidades necessárias para resolvê-lo (Haydu, Pullin, Iégas, & Costa, 2010;Resnick, Wang, & Kaplan, 1973).…”

“…Há consenso em considerar difíceis os problemas na forma escrita com estruturas semânticas de comparação e de combinação, que envolvem relações estáticas entre os elementos do problema, e com incógnita nas posições iniciais a e b (Fossa & Sá, 2008;Henklain & Carmo, 2013a;Henklain & Carmo, 2013b;Hiebert, 1982;Iégas, 2003;Magina et al, 2010;Neef et al, 2003;Resnick & Rosenthal, 1974). Problemas escritos tendem a ser mais difíceis porque exigem habilidades matemáticas e linguísticas (Fayol, 1992;Verschaffel & De Corte, 1997).…”

“…Los tres participantes presentaron, al fi nal del estudio, los conceptos numéricos involucrando los valores de 1 a 9. También adquirieron el concepto relacional /menor que/ directamente enseñado por procedimientos basados en múltiples ejemplares de tareas modifi cadas de MTS, así como, la transferencia de la respuesta relacional de este repertorio para relaciones no directamente enseñadas y la transferencia para nuevos conceptos relacionales.Palabras clave: Conceptos matemáticos, concepto relacional, equivalencia estímulos, discapacidad intelectual.Difi culdades na aprendizagem de comportamentos matemáticos são comumente encontradas em estudantes de todas as idades (Neef, Nelles, Iwata, & Pace, 2003), sendo o equacionamento e a resolução dessas difi culdades importantes para obtenção de sucesso na escola, no trabalho, na independência diária e em situações da vida econômica e social desses indivíduos. A análise do comportamento tem sido aplicada intensamente para investigar e remediar problemas derivados das difi culdades na aprendizagem da matemática (para uma revisão, ver Pereira & Winton, 1991).…”
