By writing about what they are being taught, students are forced to slow down, examine and reflect on the steps they use to solve problems. Sharing what they write promotes meaningful dialogue and personal engagement, essential ingredients of successful learning.

Full textTwelve years into a democracy, South Africa still faces many developmental challenges. Since 2002 Universities of Technology in South Africa have introduced Foundational Programmes/provisions in their Science and Engineering programmes as a key mechanism for increasing throughput and enhancing quality. The Department of Education has been funding these foundational provisions since 2005. This Case Study evaluates an aspect of a Foundational provision in Mechanical Engineering, from the beginning of 2002 to the end of 2005, at a University of Technology, with a view to contributing to its improvemenl The Cape Peninsula University of Technology {CPUn, the locus for this Case Study, is the only one of its kind in a region that serves in excess of 4.5 million people. Further, underpreparedness in Mathematics for tertiary level study is a national and intemational phenomenon. There is thus a social interest in the evaluation of a Mathematics course that is part of a strategy towards addressing the shortage in Engineering graduates. This Evaluation of integration of the Foundation Mathematics course into Foundation Science, within the Department of Mechanical Engineering at CPUT, falls within the ambit of this social need. An integrated approach to cunriculum conception, design and implementation is a widely accepted strategy in South Africa and internationally; this approach formed the basis of the model used for the Foundation programme that formed part of this Evaluation. A review of the literature of the underpinnings of the model provided a theoretical framework for this Evaluation Study. In essence this involved the use of academic literacy theory together with learning approach theory to provide a lens for this Case Study.

Full textAfter spending the day learning in elementary school, most children across the United States are given homework , assignments to be completed outside of the regular school day. Most research on homework conducted in elementary schools focuses on the relationship between achievement and time spent on homework. Little, if any, research has investigated the types of mathematics homework assigned to elementary students and its relationship to achievement. Given the continued practice of assigning homework and the gap in literature regarding research that investigates type of homework, as well as the paucity of homework research at the elementary level, there is a need for further research. Thus, the focus of this dissertation was to investigate the type of mathematics homework assigned to fifth-grade students, their interaction with the assigned homework and the relationship to achievement on a statewide test. This exploratory descriptive study used a convenience sample of fifth-grade students from a school district in the Pacific Northwest to examine the type of mathematics homework assigned to fifth-grade students, their interaction with the assigned homework, and the relationship between the homework students completed and their achievement on the statewide standardized test in mathematics. The majority of homework collected was correctly completed Direct Contact Practice homework. Furthermore, the mathematical strand of Calculations and Estimations was the most frequently assigned strand. Correlational analysis indicated that weak correlations with student total RIT scores on the statewide standardized test in mathematics existed in several areas. There was a correlation of .29 between the number of correct homework interactions and state test score, a correlation of .36 between the number of Direct Contact Practice homework and the RIT score, a -.28 correlation between the number of Other homework items completed and the RIT score, and a .26 correlation between the total number of homework interactions and RIT score. When the relationship between homework categorized by math strand and the state stranded math score was examined, there was a .36 correlation between the number of Algebra homework interactions and score on the algebra strand of the statewide mathematics assessment. Limitations of the study are discussed and recommendations for future research are presented.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: In many countries, due to a growing criticism of the inadequacy of mathematics curricula, reforms have been undertaken across the world for meeting new social and technological needs and many researchers have begun to pay attention to the way mathematics is learned and taught. In the same vein, this study aims to investigate innovative and appropriate teaching strategies to introduce in the Rwandan educational system in order to foster students' mathematical thinking and problem solving skills. For this, a classroom-based research experiment was undertaken, focusing on meticulous observation, description and critical analysis of mathematics teaching and learning situations. In the preparation of the research experiment, three mathematics teachers were helped to acquire proficiency in doing mathematics and to refine their teaching strategies, as well as to enable them to create a mathematics classroom culture that fosters students' understanding of mathematics through the problem solving process. Three classes of 121 students of the second year, their ages ranging from 14 years to 16 years, chosen from three different secondary schools in Rwanda, participated in this research experiment. Students were taught an experimental programme based on solving contextualised algebra problems in line with the constructivist approach towards mathematics teaching and learning. Twenty-four mathematics lessons were observed in the three classes and students' learning activities were systematically recorded, focusing on teacher-students and student-student interaction. The participating teachers experienced many difficulties in implementing new teaching strategies based on a problem solving approach but were impressed and encouraged by their students' abilities to generate different and unexpected ways of solving problem situations. However, the construction of mathematical models of non-routine problems constituted the most difficult task for many students because it required a high level of abstraction, characterising algebraic reasoning. Despite evident cognitive obstacles, a substantial improvement in students' systematic reasoning with respect to the different steps in the problem solving process, namely formulating a mathematical model, solving a model, verifying the solution and interpreting the answer, was progressively observed during the experiment. Many students had to overcome a language problem, which inhibited their understanding and interpretation of mathematical problem situations and deeply affected their active participation in classroom discussions. In this study, small group work and group discussions gave rise to excellent and successful teaching and learning situations which were appreciated and continuously improved up by the teachers. They provided students with opportunities for learning to argue about their mathematical thinking and to communicate mathematically. This kind of classroom organisation created an ideal learning environment for students but an uncomfortable teaching situation for teachers. It required much effort from the teachers to transform the mathematics classroom into a forum of discussion in setting up stimulating and challenging tasks for students, in working efficiently with different groups and in moderating the whole class discussion. It was unrealistic to expect spectacular changes in teaching practices established over years to take place during a period of a month. This type of change requires sufficient time and support. However, teachers did develop a new and practical vision of mathematics teaching strategies focusing on students' full engagement in exploring and grappling with problematic situations in order to solve problems. Teachers made remarkable efforts in internalising and adopting their new role of mediators of students' mathematics learning and in being more flexible in their teaching styles. They learned to communicate with their students, to accept students' explanations and suggestions, to encourage their logical disagreement and to consider their errors and misconceptions constructively. Students' results in the pre-test and the post-test showed their low performance in building mathematical models especially when they had to use symbols but revealed a significant progress in the students' ways of thinking which was observed through the variety and originality of their strategies, their systematic work and their perseverance in solving algebra problems. Students also developed positive attitudes to do mathematics; this was exhibited by their pride and satisfaction to accomplish nonroutine tasks by themselves. Teachers' comments indicated that they work under pressure to cover an overloaded mathematics curriculum and have poor support from educational authorities. For them, mathematics IS socially considered as a difficult subject. For many students, mathematics IS a gatekeeper to access higher levels of education; to fail in mathematics unfortunately implies to fail at school and in life. Students' negative attitudes towards mathematics were mainly due to their repeated failures in mathematics, but also to some mathematics teachers who intimidate and discourage their students. Both educational authorities and teachers should make efforts to rethink an appropriate mathematics curriculum and alternative teaching strategies in order to efficiently prepare students to meet new societal and technological requirements.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: As gevolg van toenemende kritiek oor die kwaliteit van wiskundekurrikula, is bewegings vir hervorming wêreldwyd geïnisieer om nuwe sosiale en tegnologiese behoeftes aan te spreek en baie navorsing is gedoen oor die wyse waarop wiskunde geleer en onderrig word. In lyn hiermee, is die doel van hierdie studie om innoverende en geskikte onderrigstrategieë te ondersoek om in die Rwandese onderwysstelsel in te voer om leerders se wiskundige denke en probleemoplossingsvaardighede te ontwikkel. Om dit te bereik, is 'n klaskamergebaseerde navorsingseksperiment uitgevoer, met die klem op fyn waarneming, beskrywing en kritiese ontleding van wiskunde leer- en onderrigsituasies. As voorbereiding tot die navorsingseksperiment is drie wiskunde-onderwysers gehelp om vaardighede te verwerf in die doen van wiskunde en om hulonderrigstrategieë te verfyn, asook om hulle in staat te stelom 'n wiskunde-klaskamerkultuur te vestig wat leerders se begryping van wiskunde deur die probleemoplossingsproses ontwikkel. Drie klasse van 121 leerders in die tweede jaar, tussen 14 en 16 jaar oud, is uit drie verskillende hoërskole in Rwanda gekies om aan die navorsing deel te neem. Die leerders is deur middel van 'n eksperimentele program onderrig wat gebaseer is op die oplossing van gekontekstualiseerde algebraprobleme in ooreenstemming met 'n konstruktivistiese benadering tot wiskunde-leer en -onderrig. Vier-en-twintig wiskundelesse is in die drie klaskamers waargeneem en leerders se leeraktiwiteite is stelselmatig opgeskryf, met die klem op onderwyser-leerder en leerder-leerder interaksie. Die betrokke onderwysers het baie probleme ondervind om nuwe onderrigstrategieë gebaseer op 'n probleemoplossingsbenadering te implementeer, maar was baie beïndruk en begeesterd deur hulleerders se vermoë om verskillende en onverwagte planne te beraam om probleme op te los. Die opstelling van wiskundige modelle vir nie-roetine probleme was vir baie leerders die moeilikste taak omdat dit 'n hoë vlak van abstraksie wat kenmerkend is van algebraïese denke verteenwoordig. Ten spyte van kognitiewe struikelblokke was daar nogtans 'n merkbare verbetering in leerders se logiese redeneringsprosesse soos geopenbaar in die toepassing van die verskillende stappe van die probleemoplossingsproses, naamlik die formulering van 'n wiskundige model, die oplossing van die model, verifiëring van die oplossing en interpretasie van die antwoord. Baie studente is gekniehalter deur 'n taalprobleem wat hul begrip en interpretasie van wiskundige probleemsituasies en hul vrymoedigheid om aan klaskamergesprekke deel te neem, aan bande gelê het. Inhierdie studie het kleingroepwerk en groepbesprekings suksesvolle onderrig- en leersituasies geskep wat deur die onderwysers raakgesien en verder uitgebou is. Dit het geleenthede geskep vir die leerders om oor hul wiskundige denke te argumenteer en om wiskundig te kommunikeer. Hierdie soort klaskamerorganisasie het 'n ideale leeromgewing vir leerders geskep maar 'n ongemaklike onderrigomgewing vir onderwysers. Dit het baie van onderwysers geverg om die wiskundeklaskamer in 'n gespreksforum te omskep deur stimulerende en uitdagende probleme aan leerders te stel, deur met verskillende groepe te werk en deur die algemene klaskamerbesprekings te fasiliteer. Dit was onrealisties om binne die bestek van 'n maand grootskaalse veranderinge in onderwyspraktyke wat oor 'n tydperk vanjare posgevat het, te verwag. Hierdie soort verandering benodig genoeg tyd en ondersteuning. Onderwysers het nogtans 'n nuwe en praktiese visie ontwikkel van wiskunde-onderrigstrategieë wat fokus op leerders se betrokkenheid by die ondersoek en oplossing van probleme wat vir hulle uitdagend en nie-roetine was. Onderwysers het daadwerklike pogings aangewend om hul nuwe rolle as mediators te internaliseer en te aanvaar, en om meer soepel onderrigstyle te ontwikkel. Hulle het geleer om met hulleerders te kommunikeer, om leerders se verduidelikings en voorstelle te aanvaar, om logiese argumentering aan te moedig en om foute en wankonsepte konstruktief te benader. Leerders se resultate in die voor- en na-toetse dui op swak vermoë om wiskundige modelle te bou veral wanneer hulle simbole moes gebruik, maar wys beduidende vordering in leerders se denke, wat gemanifesteer het in die verskeidenheid en oorspronklikheid van hul strategieë, hul sistematiese werk en hul voortgesette pogings om algebraprobleme op te los. Leerders het ook positiewe instellings teenoor die doen van wiskunde ontwikkel; dit is getoon deur hul trots en tevredenheid wanneer hulle self nie-roetine take opgelos het. Onderwysers se kommentaar openbaar dat hulle onder druk werk om 'n oorlaaide wiskundekurrikulum af te handel en dat hulle min ondersteuning van onderwyshoofde kry. Hulle sê ook dat wiskunde deur die breë gemeenskap as 'n moeilike vak beskou word. Vir baie leerders is wiskunde 'n hekwagter wat toegang tot verdere onderwys en opleiding beheer; om in wiskunde te faal beteken om op skool te faal en om in die lewe te faal. Leerders se negatiewe instellings teenoor wiskunde was hoofsaaklik as gevolg van hul herhaalde mislukkings in skoolwiskunde maar ook as gevolg van sommige wiskunde-onderwysers wat hulleerders intimideer en ontmoedig. Beide onderwyshoofde en onderwysers behoort pogings aan te wend om te besin oor 'n geskikte wiskundekurrikulum en alternatiewe onderrigstrategieë om leerders meer doeltreffend voor te berei om aan nuwe sosiale en tegnologiese eise te voldoen.

Full textThe majority of the world’s learners and teachers of English are located in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts such as Thailand, but related academia, teacher training and textbooks remain for the most part located in English-speaking countries of the Centre. Key assumptions of the latter have been that students wish to enter into the target culture and to work towards native speaker competence; classrooms have consequently reified the native speaking teacher and excluded students’ first language. But in fact, for most EFL contexts such as Thailand, neither those goals nor their associated methods are relevant. This study takes as fundamental to the Thai EFL context the presence of a first language shared by teacher and students, and explores how Thai teachers’ use of both L1 and L2 creates a distinctive bilingual pedagogy. The research takes an ethnographic approach which comprises the observation of ten English classes at a provincial Thai university and interviews with nine teachers on site. The framework for analysis is grounded in systemic-functional linguistics, and integrates this theory of ‘language in use’ with a socio-cultural theory of mind, elements of SLA, and trans-disciplinary perspectives. The study thus seeks to engage with Thai teachers’ voices both as they are heard in the classroom and in dialogue with the researcher. To date, there exist in English no published studies of Thai EFL which have conducted this kind of enquiry. The study produces new ways of describing Thai EFL classrooms. It discusses how L1 contributes to students’ capacity to ‘make meaning’ in L2; how L2 constructs different possibilities of speaker ‘performance’ as well as of speaker ‘reticence’; and how bilingual teachers deal with textbooks which appear exclusively in L1. The study demonstrates that Thai EFL is quite distinct from the ESL domain in which it is usually subsumed, and that on the contrary, it is strongly affiliated with Foreign Language Teaching (FLT) in almost every feature of curriculum, methodology, student participation and teacher bilinguality.

In the traditional mode of teaching, the teacher must be synchronized teaching and having regard to the progress of teaching to an extent not take care of the students, in order to address the shortcomings of traditional teaching group classes, extending new teaching mode: flip the classroom. In flipping the classroom, the teacher must be prepared in advance and put good material on the Internet or mobile carrier, the students must complete classroom and at home need to be discussed prior knowledge of the use of learning, and teachers back to school, students learn to cooperate : makes the subject classroom for students, but also to guide the knowledge of the progress of each student, the classroom teacher is not just about the place, but between a teacher and student, student and student interaction spaces between students and knowledge. To enable students to learn at home to finish this study was to act as a carrier of individual students learning aids. Student in the classroom to discuss the use of cooperative learning from each other with their peers, mutual learning, in order to achieve specific learning objectives. In this study, the northern part of a high school sophomore, 41 students in the experimental group and the control group was 42 students. Experimental group to flip the classroom as a teaching mode, the control group in the traditional group classes about teaching as a teaching mode, two classes were sophomore third volume - triangulation of the unit to teach. The experimental group students to use at home to watch the teacher action vehicle beforehand take good instructional videos, in the control group students use textbooks in the home preparation, and complete textbook exercises. Upon completion of preparation, the experimental group of students to the classroom with the teachers and students learn to cooperate, to discuss knowledge, students have not learned to control in accordance with the traditional teaching model, conduct group classes teaching in the classroom. After teaching is completed, the learning achievement test unit of triangulation, in order to verify the effectiveness of learning groups. The results showed that both teaching method on students in the classroom learning attitude will produce significant differences Teaching students to use Flip learning outcomes in the classroom over the use of traditional teaching group classes. However, no significant differences in technology into mathematics teaching attitude. Teaching classes in a traditional group classes, their attitude towards learning and technology into mathematics teaching attitudes are positively correlated; contrary to flip pedagogy classes, their attitude towards learning and technology into mathematics teaching attitude positively correlated, so the body in the teaching field teachers must reflect on whether the rollover technology into teaching for education this factor to their students in learning attitude may not help, the researchers believe that this is a worthwhile future research to explore the direction of Flip Educational Reflection.

Full textHigh school mathematics learners often take mathematics education for granted. They study mathematics simply because it is included in the school curriculum, and thus required for them to pass so that they can obtain a school leaving qualification. They never really succeed in seeing and understanding the relevance of mathematics to their present and future lives. As a result, they fail to relate and apply classroom mathematics to the external environment. They fail to make mathematical connections that would enable them to be confident users of mathematics as an effective tool for solving problems, a means of communication and a way of supporting reasoning. This suggests that there may be some serious constraints associated with the teachers' instructional approaches, which hinder the learners' meaningful learning and understanding of the relevance of mathematics. Thus, there arises the need to examine the relationship between the teachers' instructional approaches and the learners' understanding of the relevance of mathematics. Such an examination may help to expose the strengths and limitations of the instructional approaches, so that the necessary adjustments can be made in the teaching practice to improve the learning of mathematics.

The study focuses on Chinese radical and character component concepts. The second language learners in Thailand acquire Chinese characters without Chinese culture background. It’s difficult to them to understand the relationship between Character itself and radicals, also called Chinese Character Components. In the thesis will discuss visual recognition of Character structure, such us Chinese radicals、component position and meaning. Chinese radicals teaching is one of character teaching methods effectively to help writing problems to the second language learner. It improves errors to writing and missing strokes, also assisting memorize characters. The study goal is researching the writing condition of both teachers and learners in order to set a level curriculum for Thai second language learners. Chinese character acquisition is one of important skills for learning “Huayu”, one kind of Chinese language, also named Mandarin. This language has been spoken and written more than three thousand years by Chinese people , now it’s going to popular to the world under the global economic policy. Many countries language policy just encourage their nationals to study Huayu, included Thailand and other Asia countries. The situation makes Chinese characters must be quickly memorized and comprehend by learnrs.However, to the Second language learner that’s a very complicated work to them cause of character structure, also a challenge to the language teachers. Teachers have to develop more effective teaching methods to the Second language learn with radical cognition. The study set up three research methods: Documentary Analysis、Content Analysis Research、Survey Research. Two research objects in this study, one is Mandarin language teacher experience with international school and college, the other is the student of Thailand College. The research process discusses the education environment to Chinese language learner, especially in writing needs. Researches filed are First language and Second Language. The result points out several learning issues to the Thailand students, such as language transfer、memorizing skills、radical cognition、and Chinese character writing errors . The study and curriculum plan suffer a model to who wants to take part in teaching Chinese as Second Language.
