mathematics, text comprehension, word problem, methodologyAbstract
Although it might be surprising to link mathematics to text comprehension, the aim of this study is to show that these two areas are not as far from each other as it seems at first sight. They are strongly interconnected in situations at school such as when solving a word problem on the mathematics class. The investigation conducted among high school students aims to find out to what extent the chance to solve word problems in mathematics classes is influenced by the text comprehension competence of students and whether the performance in mathematics improves by developing text comprehension. Another aim of the study is to draw teachers’ attention to the blurring boundaries between subjects and to the importance of cooperation between teachers of different subjects. Finally, it also aims to provide teaching resources for the development of text comprehension in mathematics classes.
