Arithmetic Problems Formulation and Working Memory Load
1987
First, third, and fifth graders (French children in American-numbered grades) were asked to solve arithmetic problems in which an initial state was modified by two successive transformations. Three independent variables were manipulated systematically. First, the unknown state was either the final state (Sl) or the initial state (S2). Second, either the known state (01) or the transformations (02) appeared in the first place in the problem wording. Third, the question was either located at the end (Ql) or at the beginning (42) of the problem text. As anticipated, these modifications strongly affected the performances at every age: S1 appears clearly easier than S2; 0 1 leads to a better per…
E-LEARNING AND ART OF PROGRAMMING: A CONTEXT ORIENTED TO
2017
Coding or programming is very important for a number of tasks and this is true not only in problem solving but also in the computer science and over. Many skills have to be acquired before to have a high familiarity degree with this science. In the studies for methods of coding, students have a great problem for understanding on how to solve and to develop algorithms in a rational way, thus the expertise on how to solve and to develop algorithms is the most difficult to acquire for all students in whatever age. This paper introduces the prototype of a framework able to running in the web space and to be supported by different devices and browsers, useful to integrate a number of collaborati…
L'uso didattico del laboratorio multimediale per lo sviluppo delle competenze metacognitive e delle capacità di autovalutazione e problem solving neg…
2008
nel contributo si presenta la ricerca svolta sull’uso didattico del laboratorio multimediale per lo sviluppo delle competenze metacognitive e delle capacità di autovalutazione degli studenti universitari. Obiettivo dell'articolo è quello di richiamare l’attenzione sull’importanza dell’autoregolazione nello sviluppo dei processi di apprendimento, in particolare sull’uso delle tecnologie come strumenti didattici. Nello specifico si mette a fuoco in che modo sia possibile realizzare ambienti tecnologici in grado di promuovere l’autoregolazione negli studenti universitari. Si intende ripensare il ruolo della formazione universitaria, riconoscendo l’utilità didattica dell’uso delle ICT, al fine …
Modeling the insect mushroom bodies: application to a delayed match-to-sample task.
2013
Despite their small brains, insects show advanced capabilities in learning and task solving. Flies, honeybees and ants are becoming a reference point in neuroscience and a main source of inspiration for autonomous robot design issues and control algorithms. In particular, honeybees demonstrate to be able to autonomously abstract complex associations and apply them in tasks involving different sensory modalities within the insect brain. Mushroom Bodies (MBs) are worthy of primary attention for understanding memory and learning functions in insects. In fact, even if their main role regards olfactory conditioning, they are involved in many behavioral achievements and learning capabilities, as …
The role of literacy skills in adolescents' mathematics word problem performance – Controlling for visuo-spatial ability and mathematics anxiety
2014
Abstract The aim of the present study is to examine the relationship between eighth-grade adolescents' literacy skills and mathematics word problem performance. Moreover, visuo-spatial ability and mathematics anxiety were considered as covariates. According to the analyses of (co)variance, literacy skills were significantly associated with mathematics word problem skills among the 99 8th grade participants of the study. It is primarily for boys that reading comprehension skill predicts success in solving math word problems, while technical reading predicts both calculation skill and word problem solving skill across genders. Visuo-spatial ability was not a significant covariate in either of…
Chess Thinking and Configural Concepts
2012
The purpose of this work is to connect chess and mathematics education. First, we introduce the idea of configural concepts in chess thinking and then we outline a scheme to show the phases of chess reasoning and how to apply this idea to some conflictual situations. We conclude this work proposing two research problems in introducing chess in mathematical classroom activities.
Azioni di modellamento e lavoro collaborativo in classe per la comprensione del testo come problem solving
2021
Per stimolare l’abilità di comprensione del testo è fondamentale la costruzione autonoma dell’allievo, escludendo esercitazioni imposte e spesso poco produttive. Gli alunni possono apprendere strategie adeguate di lettura che consentano loro di mettere in relazione i processi di elaborazione dei testi con situazioni di problem solving, attraverso attività significative e coinvolgenti. Con l’obiettivo di promuovere il processo di lettura e di comprensione del testo utilizzando la metodologia del reciprocal teaching (RT), è stato realizzato un intervento didattico in classi quinte di scuola primaria che ha coinvolto 73 alunni di 10-11 anni e 10 docenti di Palermo. La pratica di insegnamento-a…
Assessment Tests in the Mathematics Teaching Guides in Spain. Analysis of the Content Blocks and the Treatment of Arithmetic Word Problems
2021
The teaching guides that complement textbooks have key importance in the assessment of competence in problem solving, because these materials contain the assessment tools that teachers frequently use to quantify the achievements of their students. In this paper, we set two aims: to analyze which curriculum contents are given priority in the assessment tests of the teaching guides
Medicina legale orientata per problemi
2011
L’area delle discipline medico-legali vive oggi un rinnovato interesse, sia per gli aspetti di approfondimento dottrinario di tematiche che si pongono a ponte tra scienza e diritto, sia per quanto attiene l’innovazione tecnologica delle scienze biomediche e il loro avanzamento applicativo; sembra così aprirsi un’era di estremo e sempre più diffuso interesse verso questa disciplina di studio, unitaria nel metodo (la metodologia medico legale ) e nell’approccio ( res medica sub specie iuris ), pur nella sua svariata congerie applicativa. Questo libro, utilizzando lo strumento pedagogico dell’apprendere per problemi, si rivolge sia allo studente universitario di area sanitaria sia al medico gi…
