Impact of order of data in word problems on division of a whole into unequal parts

Original language description

The paper investigates how the order of numerical data in word problems on division of a whole into unequal parts affects achievement and reasoning of 14-16-year old pupils. The variable was altered in two word problems, in one of which also the context was changed (psychological variable) and in the latter &quot;if-clause&quot; is or is not used (linguistic variable). 182 pupils were involved in the experiment. The solutions were analysed quantitatively using Item Response Theory as well as qualitatively. The data suggest that pupils&apos; success is affected by the order of numerical data in the statement in an unfamiliar context. The presence of &quot;if-clause&quot; in the statement was studied in a two-level problem. The order of numerical data played its role in case of formulations without &quot;if&quot;. The results of the experiment are of interest for mathematics education as well as for construction of tests.
