Examining the Effects of Different Multiple Representational Systems in Learning Primary Mathematics

摘要: Multi-representational learning environments are now commonplace in schools and homes. Research that has evaluated the effectiveness of such shows learners can benefit from multiple representations once they have mastered a number complex tasks. One key tasks for with is successful translation between representations. In order to explore factors influence learners' representations, this article presents 2 experiments multi-representational environment where difficulty translating was manipulated. Pairs pictorial, mathematical, or mixed pictorial mathematical were used teach children 1 3 experimental conditions aspects computational estimation. Experiment 1, all learned become more accurate estimators. Children improved their ability judge accuracy estimates, but ...
