STUDENT GRAPHICAL INFORMATION LITERACY IN MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE
Among the most important 21st century skills that every student needs are the ability to work with information. The key for implementing competency based approach to learning will be related to how students' ability to apply skills acquired in, for example, mathematics can be transferred to other subject contexts. Newest OECD PISA results presented in 2016 show a recurring tendency that in Latvia there is a small number of students whose performance is in accordance to the 5th and 6th level of the framework. These two levels represent students' ability to apply deep thinking skills in new learning contexts. It is necessary to analyze the causes of this situation in order to identify opportu…
TEACHING TO USE IN SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS PREVIOUSLY ACQUIRED SKILLS
Goal of the research is to analyse how students currently succeed in using basic skills acquired in mathematics, in science and real-life contexts, before new reforms in Latvia for the development of students' competence have been started. Only about 20% of students in the national testing for 9th grade were able to do it. The research analysed students’ papers, results, and study aids, as well as teacher performance in lessons.
Pierādījuma jēdziens skolas matemātikā
Maģistra darbā aplūkoti jautājumi par pierādījuma vietu, formalizācijas pakāpi un izglītojošo nozīmi skolas matemātikas kursā. Pierādījums skolas matemātikas kursā saistīts ar jautājumu par pierādījumu plašākā nozīmē matemātiskās loģikas un vēsturiskās attīstības kontekstā. Izmantojot mācību literatūrā esošos un autora izveidotos uzdevumus, ir sistematizēti pierādījuma uzdevumi un vingrinājumi, kas ilustrē skolēniem apgūstamās spriedumu veidošanas un pierādīšanas prasmes matemātikas obligātajā kursā.
