Ability stereotyping in mathematics

Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1987
Ability is a concept central to the current practice of mathematics teaching. However, the widespread view of mathematics learning as an ordered progression through a hierarchy of knowledge and skill, mediated by the stable cognitive capability of the individual pupil, can be sustained only as a gross global model, and is of limited value in describing

Ability and Creativity in Mathematics

Review of Educational Research, 1973
An earlier paper by the writer dealt briefly with intellective factors in learning mathematics, or, more precisely, with the structure and correlates of mathematical ability (Aiken, 1971). As a follow-up to that paper, an extensive review of the literature on language factors and mathematics learning was conducted, concluding, as did the first paper ...

The Psychology of Mathematical Ability

The Mathematical Gazette, 1928
Both terms in the title of this paper are probably suspect. The mathematician, versed in a subject with hundreds of years of noble tradition, tends to be suspicious of a paper on psychology; the teacher of mathematics, immersed daily in psychological relationships with ordinary children, tends to be suspicious of a paper on mathematical ability.

Mathematical Ability and Masculinity

The Arithmetic Teacher, 1960
The idea that men are Better than women at mathematics has been widespread. Many writers on education have taken it for granted; a few have tried to prove it. Unfortunately, the general acceptance of this assumption distorts the test results; achievement rather than innate ability is measured.

The mathematical abilities of children with cochlear implants

Child Neuropsychology, 2012
Research has shown that cochlear implants give rise to improvements in speech recognition and production in children with profound hearing loss but very few studies have explored mathematical abilities in these children. The current study compared the mathematical abilities of 24 children with cochlear implants (mean age 10 years 1 month) to a control ...

Educational Assessment of Mathematics Skills and Abilities

Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1997
Mathematics assessments play a valuable role in identifying students' strengths and weaknesses and in developing and monitoring instructional practice. Over the last century, mathematics assessment has been refined as math content has changed as a result of curriculum reform. Today, researchers and practitioners use various assessment techniques to (a)
