Learning to solve word problems with understanding
Original language description
Word problems have been investigated in mathematics education research for many decades and standpoints. Topics researched by SEMT authors roughly fit into four broad categories. The first investigates the characteristics of pupils and how these affect their ability to solve these problems (e.g. being strong or weak in mathematics). The second focuses on variables that make word problems difficult (e.g. order of the data, context, language consistency). The most attention has been given to the third category, studies on the effect of different instructional methods on pupils' problem-solving ability. The fourth category is lack of attention to effects of classroom-related conditions on pupils' ability to solve word problems. This chapter summarizes the main results of SEMT presentations on word problems in which methodology is presented. These results are discussed against outcomes from international research. Three meta-analyses of studies of word problems are used towards this aim.
