Teachers' in-the-moment diagnosis of students' problem-solving difficulties in mathematics
Torulf Palm
Several studies have shown that learning mathematics can be more effective if students solve problems by their own reasoning than if they follow given solution methods. However, when a student needs help with solving a task it is more challenging for the teacher to support the student's own reasoning than to describe the method. In a collaborative research and development project, teachers and researchers developed a framework for diagnosing in-the-moment problem-solving difficulties. The presen
