例谈数学教学中的题组设计

数学教学的重要组成部分:一个是教,一个是学.教就是如何引导学生,激发学生学习的兴趣,将学生的热情和求知欲融入到课堂的学习氛围中;学就是有目的,有方法,有条件的参与探索知识的生成过程,质疑、拓展、应用、归纳、总结提升;无论哪一方面都取决于教师的教学设计如何,更直观地说就是体现在教师的题组设计上.     

高等数学教学渗透研究性学习的研究与实践

Students’ experiences with mathematics teaching and learning: listening to unheard voices

This study documents students’ views about the nature of mathematics, the mathematics learning process and factors within the classroom that are perceived to impact upon the learning of mathematics. The participants were senior secondary school students. Qualitative and quantitative methods were used to understand the students’ views about their experiences with mathematics learning and mathematics classroom environment. Interviews of students and mathematics lesson observations were analysed to understand how students view their mathematics classes. A questionnaire was used to solicit students’ views with regards to teaching approaches in mathematics classes. The results suggest that students consider learning and understanding mathematics to mean being successful in getting the correct answers. Students reported that in the majority of cases, the teaching of mathematics was lecture-oriented. Mathematics language was considered a barrier in learning some topics in mathematics. The use of informal language was also evident during mathematics class lessons.     

工科复变函数中的迁移教学

迁移是指一种学习对另一种学习的影响.影响学生学习迁移的主要因素有:学生原有知识的准备状态、概括水平、认知结构变量、学习材料的性质、学习的指导.为了能有效促进学生学习正迁移的发生,同时防止学生学习负迁移的发生,在工科复变函数教学中针对其特点采取以下教学策略:注意加强工科复变函数与高等数学的衔接;突出转化和类比的数学思想方法的教学;加强复变函数学习方法的指导.

Talking mathematically: An analysis of discourse communities

Discourse has always been at the heart of teaching. In more recent years, the mathematics education community has also turned its attention towards understanding the role of discourse in mathematics teaching and learning. Using earlier classifications of discourse, in this paper, we looked at three types of classrooms: classrooms that engage in high discourse, low discourse and a hybrid of the two. We aimed to understand how the elements of each discourse affected classroom learning, relationships between teachers and students, and participatory structures for students. Overall, our findings highlight the important relationship between cognitively demanding tasks and mathematical talk, and the power of discourse as a “thinking device” as opposed to mere conduit of knowledge. Our work also points to the under-theorized nature of hybrid discourse in mathematics classrooms, thereby providing some directions for pedagogy and further research.     

Mathematical modelling in university education. An experiment at the University of Oldenburg

This paper suggests that mathematics teacher educators should listen carefully to what their students are saying. More specifically, it demonstrates how from one pre-teacher's non-traditional geometric representation of a unit fraction, a variety of learning environments that lead to the enrichment of mathematics for teaching can be developed. The paper shows how new knowledge may be generated through an attempt to validate an intuitive idea; in other words, how the quest for rigour may serve as a catalyst for the growth of mathematical concepts in the context of K-16 mathematics.     

Teacher's reflections on experimenting with technology-enriched inquiry-based mathematics teaching with a preplanned teaching unit

According to previous studies, inquiry-based mathematics teaching enhances learning. However, teachers need support in implementing this type of teaching. In this study, a high school teacher was given a short preplanned inquiry-based mathematics teaching unit that included activities with GeoGebra. The teacher was interviewed after every lesson to explore her reflections after teaching. I analyzed how the teacher described the differences between her regular teaching style and the teaching unit and the pros and cons of the teaching unit. The teacher reflected on the roles of the teacher and students, depth of students’ knowledge, her stance toward the teaching unit, constraints for using this type of teaching approach, and challenges in guiding the students. The results give insights to what kind of reflections on technology-enriched inquiry-based mathematics teaching it is possible to initiate with short preplanned teaching units.     

Appropriate use of a CAS in the teaching and learning of mathematics

If the use of a computer algebra system (CAS) is to be meaningful and have an impact on students, then it must be grounded in good pedagogy and have some clearly defined goals. It is the authors' belief that an important goal for teaching mathematics with the CAS is that courses be designed so that students can become active participants in their learning experience, planning the problem-solving strategies and carrying them out. The CAS becomes an important tool and a partner in this learning process. To this end, here the authors' have linked the use of the CAS to an existing classification scheme for Mathematical Tasks, called the MATH Taxonomy, and illustrated, through concrete examples, how the goals of teaching and learning of mathematics can be set using this classification together with the CAS.     

On the teaching and learing of Dienes' principles

Zoltan Dienes' principles of mathematical learning have been an integral part of mathematics education literature and applied both to the teaching and learning of mathematics as well as research on processes such as abstraction and generalization of mathematical structures. Most extant textbooks of cognitive learning theories in mathematics education include a treatment of Dienes' seminal contributions. Yet, there are no available studies at the tertiary level on how students internalise the meaning of Dienes' principles. This paper explores post-graduate mathematics education student's understanding of Dienes' principles and their ability to reflexively apply the principles to their own thinking on structurally similar problems. Some implications are offered for university educators engaged in the training of future researchers in the field.
