Abstract

Intrinsic Cognitive Load (ICL) is a cognitive load inherent in the material and has a positive impact on learning. However, working memory as an active tool that processes cognitive load has limited capacity, and ICL cannot be completely eliminated. Group learning is one of the learning methods that can help manage ICL. Mathematics is one of the subjects with high ICL, including the Pythagorean theorem. This study aims to analyze the forms of teacher intervention during group discussions that support students in managing ICL while constructing the Pythagorean Theorem. The data source of this study consisted of 14 eighth-grade students divided into four groups. The results showed that prerequisite activation, validation, scaffolding, and abstraction in teacher interventions helped eliminate ICL.

Abstract

Using more than one representation in fraction comparison does not, by itself, indicate that students have coordinated the mathematical relationships across representations. This study aimed to analyze the use and functions of symbolic and number-line representations, shifts and coordination across representations, and the final basis on which students accepted their answers as correct when comparing fractions. A qualitative multiple-case study design was employed. Twenty-four seventh-grade students completed an open-ended task comparing and . Based on variation in written representational patterns, four focal cases (S7, S11, S17, and S24) were purposively selected and participated in two rounds of task-based interviews. Data were analyzed using a hybrid deductive–inductive thematic analysis integrating written work, interview data, and cross-case comparison. The findings showed that the number line served different functions across cases, including initial solution search, visualization, explanation, and verification, whereas symbolic procedures were used to obtain, clarify, and justify results. Conversion, cross-representational consistency, and conceptual coordination also showed distinct patterns: evidence of coordination was partial for S7, could not be established for S11, was stronger within the task context for S17, and could not be assessed across representations for S24. For S7, S11, and S17, symbolic procedures carried greater justificatory weight than the number line, whereas for S24, the symbolic procedure was the only observable procedural basis. These findings highlight the importance of distinguishing representational form from function, conversion and cross-representational consistency from conceptual coordination, and representational function from justificatory function when analyzing students’ reasoning in fraction-comparison tasks.
