Alternative Representations for Algebraic Problem Solving: When Are Graphs Better Than Equations?
Successful algebraic problem solving entails adaptability of solution methods using different representations. Prior research has suggested that students are more likely to prefer symbolic solution methods (equations) over graphical ones, even when graphical methods should be more efficient. However, this research has not tested how representation format might affect solution success, and wheth...
متن کاملWhen None of Us Perform Better than All of Us Together: The Role of Analogical Decision Rules in Groups
During social interactions, groups develop collective competencies that (ideally) should assist groups to outperform average standalone individual members (weak cognitive synergy) or the best performing member in the group (strong cognitive synergy). In two experimental studies we manipulate the type of decision rule used in group decision-making (identify the best vs. collaborative), and the w...
متن کاملHow to Support Groups In Learning: More Than Problem Solving
The main thesis developed in this chapter is that in order to make progress in managing network-based group collaboration by means of more or less intelligent IT, a broad concept of what makes groups function needs to be at the basis. In reviewing some of the current collaboration management tools, it is concluded that these are often very good in supporting the problem-solving function of grou...
متن کاملWhen Good = Better Than Average
People report themselves to be above average on simple tasks and below average on difficult tasks. This paper builds on prior research demonstrating this effect and proposes a simpler explanation for it: that people easily conflate relative with absolute evaluation, especially on ambiguous measures of evaluation. The paper then presents a series of four studies that examine this conflation expl...
متن کاملGroups perform better than the best individuals on letters-to-numbers problems: effects of group size.
Individuals and groups of 2, 3, 4, or 5 people solved 2 letters-to-numbers problems that required participants, on each trial, to identify the coding of 10 letters to 10 numbers by proposing an equation in letters, receiving the answer in letters, proposing a hypothesis, and receiving feedback on the correctness of the hypothesis. Groups of 3, 4, and 5 people proposed more complex equations and...
