    (for weaker students: Is ABCD a remingle?)

    249

  • Item 50

    AB is the line segment with A and B the midpoints of the equal sides of the isosceles triangleXYZ.AY = BY and A AYB is similar to A XYZ so LA = ZX and. AB is parallel to XZ.

    the appropriate condition)

    a) isosceles triangles

    b) similar triangles or

    c) corresponding angles.

    FURTHER PROBE (for higher levels)

    4 If instead of A and B being the mid-points of XY and ZY, they divide the sides

    XY and ZY in the same ratio, what changes does this make to your answer?

    250

  • Item 55

    In this figure AB and CB are the same length. AD and CD are the same length.

    Will Z A and LC be the same size? Why or why not?

    PROMPT

    2a (if first answer is very informal)

    Can you phrase your answer in another way?

    2b (if not really knowing how to tackle the question)

    If BD is joined, can you now give an answer?

    VERIFICATION

    3 Can you justify that your answer is correct?

    CONFLICT

    4 Suppose a student gave the following answer:

    "BD bisects and ABC, therefore triangles ABD and CBD are congruent (SAS)."

    Can you justify such an answer?

    INVESTIGATOR-OBSERVER AGREEMENT FOR THE CODING OF

    RESPONSES

    In order to demonstrate consistency of the use of the Mayberry marking scheme, a marker who

    was experienced in coding students' response3 with the van Hiele levels agreed to act as a co-

    marker with the investigator. A preliminary coding of responses was first undertaken,

    resulting in the formulation of guideline rules which would then be used in the actual marking.

    Preliminary coding

    The investigator and the co-marker took ten papers from each of test Papers I and II and coded

    them independently. The results were compared for the four van Hiele levels across four

    concepts for each of the ten students randomly selected from Papers I and II, i.e., 160 results

    were compared for each paper. There was found to be a high percentage agreement, 92.5%

    (148 out of 160) for Paper I and 90% (144 oui of 160) for Paper II.

    Almost all discrepancies occurred in the Levels 3 and 4 codings. For Level 3, it was found that

    there were differences in the expectations of the two markers for the reasons given by the

    students for responses, while for Level 4, the discrepancies concerned the markers'

    expectations of the degree of completeness of the proofs. Additionally, markers showed a

    slightly higher degree of discrepancy in the concepts parallel lines and similarity, leading to the

    slightly lower percentage agreement for Paper II which contained the questions for these two

    concepts.

    As a consequence of this, a short list of guideline rules was formulated. These were used in

    conjunction with the original behavioural definitions and the Mayberry guidelines for the actual

    coding. This was done to clarify and fine-tuns; the coding scheme.

    Actual coding

    Both the investigator and the co-marker, working independently, then coded a different set of

    ten papers selected from each of Papers I and II using the formulated guidelines as well as the

    behavioural definitions and the Mayberry guidelines. This meant that altogether, sets of results

    were compared for forty of the sixty-one students. On completion of the actual coding for the

    second set of twenty students, the agreements for the four levels across all concepts was 98.8%

    252

  • (158 out of 160) for Paper I and 98.1% (157 out of 160) for Paper II, i.e. there was agreement

    for all except five of the 320 codings. These five discrepancies were discussed between

    markers and the differences reconciled.

    To ensure consistency of coding throughout all responses, a safety net was established. This

    entailed, on the rare occasions when a response was difficult to code, a consultation between

    the investigator and the co-marker, resulting in a joint decision. Coding reliability was,

    therefore, established in the Mayberry coding.
