Learning from worked-examples in mathematics: students relate procedures to principlesZDM - Tập 49 - Trang 571-584 - 2017
Alexander Renkl
This article discusses the relevance of the worked-example effect for mathematics education. This effect refers to the finding that, in initial cognitive skill acquisition, students profit more from studying worked examples as compared to solving problems. One reason for the effectiveness of worked examples is that the students get the opportunity to interrelate principles (e.g., mathematical theo...... hiện toàn bộ
Seventh-grade students’ representations for pictorial growth and change problemsZDM - Tập 40 - Trang 97-110 - 2007
Diana Steele
The purpose of this teaching experiment was to investigate eight seventh-grade pre-algebra students’ development of algebraic thinking in problems related in growth and change pattern structure. The teaching experiment was designed to help students (1) identify and generalise patterns in relationships between quantities in the pictorial growth and change problems, (2) represent these generalisatio...... hiện toàn bộ
Modelling and the representational imaginationZDM - Tập 50 - Trang 45-59 - 2018
Corey Brady
This article examines the work of 30 in-service teachers engaged with modelling activities during a course within an Ecuadorian master’s degree program in mathematics teaching. These teachers experienced a sequence of activities designed to explore imaginative aspects of mathematical modelling and problem solving, inviting perspectives from life outside of school. They built rich connections betwe...... hiện toàn bộ
Conception of expert mathematics teacher: a comparative study between Hong Kong and ChongqingZDM - Tập 45 - Trang 121-132 - 2013
Xinrong Yang, Frederick K. S. Leung
This paper reports the similarities and differences in how “expert mathematics teacher” is conceptualized by mathematics educators in Hong Kong and Chongqing, two cities in China which share similar but different cultural and social backgrounds. Thirty-seven mathematics education researchers, school principals with mathematics education background, and mathematics teachers were interviewed on thei...... hiện toàn bộ
