The Importance of Reading Instructions

Publication at Faculty of Mathematics and Physics |

Abstract

We use data about thousands of students' answers to tasks in online system GeoTest and we look at mistakes they made and how they succeed to find the source of the mistake. It shows that source of some errors is simply poor reading or misunderstanding the instructions and also that many students are nor able to find and correct their mistake.

We guess that these problems relate to general attitude of the student to problem solving.
