Curriculum & cognition: a study on math problems.(Report)
Abstract
Analyzing textbook problem provides a unique opportunity for exploring students' problem-solving experience, as textbook problems embody cognitive expectations for students in a specific system. In this study, we examined mathematical problems in algebra chapters of selected textbooks from Mainland China, Singapore, and the United States. The results revealed some substantial variations between the U.S. textbooks and the textbooks from Asia, which extends what we can possibly learn from textbook analysis in large-scale international studies.
