The impact of the group on the problem posing process was also explored. The findings reveal improvements in the quality of the problems posed due to a number of factors including the use of textbook problems as initial problem situations that supported problem reformulation, the constructive role of prompts to focus attention on desirable problem features and the valuable role of feedback in determining problem aptness. A challenge when problem posing was difficulty coordinating attention to multiple problem features, however, this was mediated by the affordance of working in groups which served to share the responsibility for, and enhance, problem quality alongside the use of the F-PosE problem posing framework which focused attention on desirable problem features.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47481,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mathematical Behavior","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0732312324000051/pdfft?md5=a4174bfa6bca3d3e97a11095ab27e051&pid=1-s2.0-S0732312324000051-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139675127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Further, we investigated whether the effect of task variables of self-generated problems on students’ interest differed among students with different levels of mathematical competence. High modelling potential had a positive effect on interest in solving the problem for students with low mathematical competence, whereas it had a negative effect for those with high mathematical competence.
