20.500.12556/RUP-21444 An empirical study on basic and conceptual knowledge, procedural knowledge and problem solving among primary school students In this paper, we present the results of an empirical study examining the achievements of Slovenian elementary school students in arithmetic, with a particular focus on decimal numbers at the levels of basic and conceptual, procedural and problem-solving knowledge. The study aimed to determine whether there are differences or correlations between students' achievements in decimal numbers at these levels of knowledge and whether performance at one level can predict performance at another. Based on an empirical non-experimental study involving 100 Slovenian elementary school students, the findings revealed significant correlations and statistically significant differences between students' achievements at the levels of basic, conceptual, procedural and problem-solving knowledge of decimal numbers. Furthermore, performance at the levels of basic and conceptual, and procedural knowledge were found to predict performance in problem-solving tasks, and vice versa. The study's results indicate that gaps in basic and conceptual or procedural knowledge are reflected in difficulties when solving complex problems, where success often depends on the accuracy of intermediate steps within the solution process. decimal numbers basic and conceptual knowledge procedural knowledge problem-solving knowledge arithmetic mathematics decimalna števila osnovno in konceptualno znanje proceduralno znanje problemsko znanje aritmetika matematika true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2025-07-11 12:28:44 2025-07-11 12:28:47 2025-07-12 03:03:43 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 str. 627-650 no. 4 Vol. 18 October 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-07-07 51:303.025 1308-1470 242285315 https://www.e-iji.net/volumes/385-onlinefirst 1 d4390f3f-5e41-11f0-b41d-005056ac49c0 https://repozitorij.upr.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=31183 RAZ_Zakelj_Amalija_2025.pdf RAZ_Zakelj_Amalija_2025.pdf 1 7BE6A1D89090A51EA51A6F8ED7C7A124 0218b6566971e036079bc9bed51726215156fb9b369354cc103bdc8a82922188 0dc025b4-5e42-11f0-b41d-005056ac49c0 https://repozitorij.upr.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=31184 Pedagoška fakulteta 0 0 0
