Identifier	Thesis 2061
Author	Oleksenko, Vasyl Justin,1979-
Title	Use of multiple representations in the classroom
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2010
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of using Multiple Representations Charts in the classroom. This thesis was focused on the comparison of students’ abilities to solve word problems using Multiple Representations Charts as an alternative method to using George Polya’s four-step method. The Multiple Representations Charts that were used in this study required students to solve word problems by showing the solution numerically, in writing, and by drawing a picture. Similar to George Polya’s method, Multiple Representations Charts require the students to show their understanding of the given information and the question stated in the problem. However, this type of charts is structured in such way it requires the students to use more than one representation to describe the problem. This in turn increases the chances that the problem will be understood and solved correctly. This thesis is an attempt to add to the body of research pertaining to the effects of using multiple representations for teaching problem solving skills. The use of Multiple Representations Charts has been shown to produce greater mean scores at a statistically significant level on the core assessment that was administered to the students in the experimental class. Additionally, the effects of Multiple Representations Charts were further evaluated through the analysis of students’ reflections, These showed mixed opinions as most of the students found Multiple Representations Charts to be time consuming but also helpful in the problem solving process.
