  • The Challenge of Formative Assessment in Mathematics Education

    Open AccessHerbert P GinsburgARTICLEHuman Development2009

    The developmental psychology of mathematical thinking and the clinical interview method can make major contributions to education by transforming the process of formative assessment – the attempt to use information concerning student performance, knowledge, learning potential, and motivation to inform instruction. The clinical interview is a powerful method for learning about students’ underlying cognitive competence. Cognitive developmental theo…

    Joanna Cannon, Herbert P GinsburgARTICLEEarly Education and Development2008

    Research Findings: Little is known about how parents approach preschoolers' mathematics learning and how this aligns with early mathematics education research and policy. This study examined these questions by contrasting parents' approaches to early mathematics and language and by exploring key themes in parents' talk about mathematics learning and education.

  • What Is Appropriate Mathematics Education for Four-Year-Olds

    Open AccessJoon Sun Lee, Herbert P GinsburgARTICLEJournal of Early Childhood Research2007Cited by: 2References: 8

  • Entering the Child's Mind

    Open AccessHerbert P GinsburgBOOKEntering the Child's Mind1997

    Entering the Child's Mind teaches a powerful technique for gaining insight into a child's way of thinking. In the tradition of Piaget and Vygotsky, Dr Herbert P. Ginsburg argues that standardized instruments of evaluation often fail to meet the challenges of complex cognition. He presents the 'clinical interview' as a powerful tool that, when understood and used properly, can provide psychologists with a profound appreciation for children's think…

    Open AccessHerbert P Ginsburg, Jill K Posner et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cross-Cultural…1981Cited by: 3References: 5

    This study investigated the development of mental addition in schooled and unschooled children and adults from a traditional mercantile culture (Dioula, Ivory Coast) and one which is technologically advanced (American). Subjects at three age levels were given a series of mental addition problems; both the accuracy of response and strategies were analyzed. By adulthood, the unschooled Dioulas were as accurate as both schooled Dioulas and Americans…
