EasyChair Preprint 13770

Abstract

Visual representation is effective in enhancing mathematical learning and thinking processes. This study focuses on visual representations automatically provided by the formative assessment platform to describe students' mathematical strategies. We examined the teachers' perspectives on how the students' metacognitive strategies could be stimulated by visual representation of strategy (VRS) provided by a formative assessment platform in assignments for comparing fractions. Twenty-five teachers participated in this study. Based on different data resources, we were able to identify three categories where the teachers considered the VRS as a tool for stimulating students' use of metacognitive strategies: as part of class management, as part of task requirements, and as part of feedback information.
