Expectancy-value motivation profiles and their relation to specific maths tasks
The current study assesses how achievement motivation relates to specific maths tasks. The participants were Grade five Estonian students (N = 335, 51% female, 2021/2022 school year). The assessment included two to three whole-number calculations, conversions of units of mass, length, and time, typical word problems, real-life word problems, spontaneous focusing on quantitative relations, and the guided use of multiplicative relations, as well as…
Expectancies, values, and task persistence can alleviate the negative effects of math anxiety on math performance
The importance of socio-emotional skills obtained before the Covid-19 pandemic in supporting study engagement during the pandemic and transition to higher education
This study investigated the development of study engagement from the end of upper secondary school through the first and second years of higher education. The participants experienced the challenges related to the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic while they were either university students or preparing for university entrance exams. The study employed a person-oriented approach to determine what kind of developmental trajectories emerge in stud…
Context matters
Extra-mathematical knowledge is often overlooked when investigating mathematical skills. This study explores profiles of mathematical skills and associations with extra-mathematical knowledge and the understanding of complex sentences. The study involved 1,288 sixth-grade students (52.1% male) from 95 classes in 58 schools in Estonia. Students completed a math test as part of their regular lessons. The profiles of mathematical skills included stu…
The developmental trajectories of math skills and its relation to math interest in Grades three and five
The development of math skills from grades 1 to 12
The development of math skills is widely studied, but there is a lack of longitudinal studies investigating person-oriented developmental patterns of math skills. The present study aims to describe profiles of students with various calculation and word-problem solving skills from Grades 1 to 9, as well as the developmental trajectories of these profiles, how profiles are related to students' further educational pathways, and whether having a spec…
Memorization strategies in basic school
Parental homework-help profiles throughout grades 6 – 9
This study aimed to examine how parental profiles during homework help (supportive versus controlling) for children in Grades 6 and 9 change over time and relate to children’s motivation and math skills. Participants included 719 mother–child dyads. Children’s perceptions of parental help and math skills were assessed in both grades; children’s math-related self-concept, interest, and mother-rated task persistence were assessed only in Grade 6. T…
Evaluating the efficacy of a teacher-guided comprehension-oriented learning strategy intervention among students in Grade 4
Effects of Prior Knowledge on Comprehending Text About Learning Strategies
Good knowledge and skills in using different learning strategies is important for learning with understanding and even more critical during distance learning. Findings indicate that students tend to use and value ineffective learning strategies, thus there is need to educate students. This study aimed to analyze the possibility of using refutation text on learning strategies that students can study independently. The study examined how reported u…
Adolescent students’ digital engagement and achievement goal orientation profiles
What role do comprehension‐oriented learning strategies have in solving math calculation and word problems at the end of middle school
BACKGROUND: Math is a difficult subject with which many upper middle-school students struggle. In addition to knowledge, skills, and motivation, effective learning strategies play an important role in learning math. AIMS: This study aimed to examine the effects of comprehension-oriented learning strategies (perceptual and abstract grouping of material) - together with math self-concept, task-persistent learning behaviour, earlier math skills, rea…
