Handbook of research on the psychology of mathematics education: past, present and future (2006, background): “RESEARCH ON LEARNING & TEACHING ALGEBRA 17 In a study that extended Kirshner’s earlier work on the visual syntax of algebra, Kirshner and Awtry (2004) reported on research aimed at investigating the role of visual salience1 in the initial learning of algebra.”
Linking Research to Practice: Teachers as Key Stakeholders in Mathematics Education Research (2012, background): “Krainer and Llinares (2010) have emphasized that “it is desirable to use the synergy of teachers’ expertise and therefore to engage them in research activities and to support action research, among others, with the goal that some of them might develop deeper interest in research and thereby to enlar”
Syntax and Meaning as Sensuous, Visual, Historical forms of Algebraic Thinking (2007, unknown): “See also Kirshner and Awtry, 2004.”
Delayed benefits of learning elementary algebraic transformations through contrasted comparisons (2014, methodology): “Many authors have documented confusion errors occurring in basic transformations as well as in handling fractions and solving equations (Booth, 1988; Hirsch & Goodman, 2006; Kirshner & Awtry, 2004).”
The Process of Probability Problem Solving: Use of External Visual Representations (2010, background): “However, we have included this coding category because we have observed frequent use of spatially aligned rewriting of information to aid in problem solving (cf. Kirshner & Awtry, 2004; Landy & Goldstone, 2007; Presmeg, 1986).”
How structure sense for algebraic expressions or equations is related to structure sense for abstract algebra (2008, background): “Kirshner and Awtry (2004) discussed visual salience of algebra rules: “Visually salient rules have a visual coherence that makes the left- and right-hand sides of the equation appear naturally related to one another” (p. 229).”
