4- Autonomy-Supportive Instruction: Influences on Fourth Graders’ Skill Comparing Fractions

Monday, April 15, 2013: 5:30 PM-6:45 PM
Lobby A (Colorado Convention Center)
Lead Speaker:
Tiera Willis


Description of Presentation:

We measured students’ accuracy at comparing fractions to gauge whether autonomy-supportive instruction (ASI) influences flexible reasoning about fraction magnitude. Representation format and problem type were both significant: numerical notation > circle area model; SD > SN = DND; and performance was more consistent in a high-ASI classroom.
