Fifth-grade students’ approaches to and beliefs of mathematics word problem solving: a large sample Hungarian study

Abstract: Mathematical word problems used in Verschaffel et al.'s (Learning and Instruction 7:339-359, 1994) study were applied in several follow-up studies. The goal of the present study was to replicate and extend the results of this line of research in a large sample of Hungarian students using an alternative set of data-gathering and dataanalysis techniques. 4,037 students forming a nationwide representative sample of the Hungarian fifth-grade student population (aged 10-11) completed the test. The test contained … Show more

“…There are so-called non-standard WPs ( Jimenez and Verschaffel, 2014 ) which can be non-solvable WPs or if they are solvable some have multiple solutions and may contain irrelevant data. In the recent literature, non-standard WPs are getting more and more attention ( Yeap et al, 2005 ; Csikos et al, 2011 ). Children give a high level of incorrect answers to non-standard WPS because these seem to contradict their mathematics-related beliefs learned in the classroom.…”

“…Five out of these P-items were reconstructed as closed-question format items by Csíkos et al (2011). While these items were labelled as P5, P9, P6, P3 and P1 items in Verschaffel et al's work (1994), in subsequent publications within the profession, these problems became designated as the Runner, Rope, School, Water and Friends items.…”

“…While these items were labelled as P5, P9, P6, P3 and P1 items in Verschaffel et al's work (1994), in subsequent publications within the profession, these problems became designated as the Runner, Rope, School, Water and Friends items. The closed-question-format versions of these five items (slightly modified as compared to the ones in Csíkos et al 2011) formed the first subset of word problems used in the current investigation. The item stem of these five items are as follows:…”

“…Vizsgálatok középpontjában állt például a tanulók tanulási stratégiáinak, motivációjának, meggyőződéseiknek vizsgálata (B. Németh és Habók, 2006;Csíkos, Kelemen és Verschaffel, 2011;Habók, 2013;Józsa, 2007). Összességében a tanulásról alkotott komplex képet a kognitív, affektív és metakognitív dimenziói adják (Hoskins és Fredriksson, 2008).…”
