| dc.description.abstract | This study investigates preservice mathematics teachers’ judgment accuracy (JA) under different cue-availability conditions. Whether there is a difference in JA or cue utilization (CU) under varying availability of cues and the relationship between preservice teachers’ misconception knowledge about rational numbers and JA, together with CU during judgments, are explored. Twenty-five preservice teachers made judgments about middle-graders working with rational numbers. Firstly, they completed a test measuring their misconception knowledge. Then, online meetings were organized to present the materials for them to make judgments and collect their judgment and CU data simultaneously. Collected data were analyzed to make comparisons among JA and CU and investigate the relationships between constructs involved in the study. The results showed that more accurate judgments were made when both student and answer cues were available. Answer cues were used significantly more than student cues when both types of cues were available; student cues were used significantly more when only student cues were available. The CU did not significantly relate to JA except for overall grade in math cue—one of the available student cues. Misconception knowledge was not found to be related to JA but related to the utilization of the misconception cue—one of the available answer cues. The relationship between JA and CU requires further investigation with larger samples. Also, the misconception knowledge may be measured via different instruments to give insight into why no relationship was found. | |
