Subclaims¶

q1 i? Close analysis of three students suggested strategies used on paper may not differ from those used on the application. → Adesina 2014

Evidence¶

Adesina 2014¶

Adesina, A., Stone, R., Batmaz, F., & Jones, I. (2014). Touch Arithmetic: A process‐based Computer‐Aided Assessment approach for capture of problem solving steps in the context of elementary mathematics. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compedu.2014.06.015

q1 · i? · design · r2

Qualitative case analysis of three students (Lucas, Julia, Mark) comparing paper workings with MuTAT trace-derived strategies; Lucas used as-presented throughout, Julia place-value in four of five MuTAT questions, Mark a mixture. The authors explicitly limit generalisability.

"This result suggests that the strategies used on paper may not be different from the one used on the application. However this finding cannot be extrapolated to all students as most of them did not completely present their workings on paper."

• Trace data from MuTAT can detect arithmetic strategy selection, with place-value strategy use varying across questions — related
• Students' performance scores on the MuTAT touch-based assessment tool are comparable to paper-and-pencil test scores — related
• MuTAT trace data can detect relative time efficiency of arithmetic strategies, with place-value faster on three of five questions — related
