THE PROMOTION OF FUTURE PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS’ ABILITY FOR ANALYSING COMPLEX EDUCATIONAL SITUATIONS. A METACOGNITIVE APPROACH
2013
When approaching and solving educational problems, those who are about to start a teaching profession, need to involve strategies in order to appropriately answer complex problems characterizing educational situations. We examine one way to promote specific transfer of general skills: a methodology entails the elicitation, analysis and inclusion of case-study as a primary form of instructional support while learning to solve problems. This approach is referred to as analysis of cases drawn from real-world educative contexts in order to help students develop problem solving skill. Learning is supported by conversations and stories about problematic and difficult cases. In this paper we intro…
Efficacia di un intervento didattico innovativo per il potenziamento del problem solving sugli studenti di origine straniera
2018
Obiettivo del presente contributo è valutare l’efficacia di un intervento didattico innovativo, basato su evidenze di ricerca, nel migliorare le competenze di problem solving degli studenti degli ultimi due anni di scuola primaria, con particolare riferimento alla tipologia di origine degli stessi. Dopo una breve panoramica sul quadro teorico e sul modello di apprendimento adottato, verrà esplicitata l’impostazione metodologica alla base dell’intervento e saranno descritti i risultati. L’analisi di quest’ultimi ha evidenziato differenze significative negli esiti degli studenti che hanno partecipato alla ricerca, indipendentemente dalla tipologia di origine, e pertanto contribuisce a denotar…
Conclusione generale
2009
Le ipotesi relative alla congruenza delle attività formative progettate con gli obiettivi che ci si prefiggeva di raggiungere sono state verificate in un campione di livello medio-alto per la competenza metacognitiva.
Modelling a real situation with tablets: the ball experiment
2015
[EN] In this study we present an experience carried out in an 11th grade class. We use a teaching model designed to work the concepts of family of functions and parameter through the modelling. This model has the characteristic that the data are obtained by students in classroom using tablets and it includes elements that allow them to manage the modelling process. The analysis of the results revealed that the realization of a previous qualitative analysis of the phenomenon studied and the students’ knowledge about the families of functions and the meaning of the parameters are key elements in the management and control of the entire process. Besides, we obtained information about the stude…
Generating students' information seeking questions in the scholar lab: what benefits can we expect from inquiry teaching approaches?
2013
ABSTARCT: Physics teachers use experimental devices to show students how scientific concepts, principles, and laws are applied to understand the real world. This paper studies question generation of secondary and under-graduate university students when they are confronted with experimental devices in different but usual teaching situations: reading about devices while studying still images or diagrams, watching an experimental demonstration, and handling the devices in the laboratory. The influence of the prior scientific knowledge on the questions asked is also analysed. Inquiry learning environments, involving lab projects, seemed to stimulate more inferences addressed to causality when s…
A case study on Finnish pupils' mathematical thinking: Problem solving and view of mathematics
2017
International audience; In this article, the mathematical thinking of four Finnish pupils is reported using two temporally different data sets: problem-solving processes and view of mathematics. While the pupils seem similar on the surface level (high achievers, successful problem solvers, enjoy mathematics, motivated to learn mathematics), a closer look at their problem-solving processes and view of mathematics reveal very different strengths and weaknesses in their mathematical thinking. Most of the similarities in this study were found in individual pupils' problem-solving processes and view of mathematics.
Insegnare il problem solving nella scuola primaria. Contributi di ricerca.
2020
A partire dall’analisi della letteratura internazionale relativa al problem solving, il presente volume propone un intervento didattico rivolto agli alunni della scuola primaria, verificandone ampiamente gli effetti, anche sul piano metacognitivo ed affettivo, su un consistente campione di studenti. Il testo offre indicazioni operative, fondate su evidenze di ricerca, che consentono gradualmente agli studenti di acquisire un metodo di soluzione di problemi attraverso una comprensione autentica, che li abitui ad individuare più soluzioni, che li stimoli continuamente al controllo del proprio modo di procedere attraverso la riflessione metacognitiva, il modeling e il feedback nella discussion…
Edma 0-6 : educación matemática en la infancia
2018
There are numerous studies that support the interest of starting the development of algebraic thinking in Primary School. In this paper, we present a part of a research project aimed to explore the processes of solution of geometric pattern problems by students in Primary grades 4th to 6th. We analyze the behavior of students who were administered a teaching unit based on the resolution of this type of problems in the GeoPattern application, created by the authors for this purpose. A characteristic of the application is that it informs the students on the correctness of their answers and allows them to respond again to the same question when their answer was wrong. This causes the students …
Análisis del comportamiento de alumnos expertos resolutores de problemas en el contexto del concurso matemático Pruebas Canguro
2021
Presentamos resultados de una investigación que analiza las estrategias de estudiantes considerados expertos resolutores de problemas en el contexto del concurso Proves Cangur, con problemas de elección múltiple y tiempo limitado para resolverlos. Nuestro objetivo es entender mejor las estrategias de resolución utilizadas, el uso de las opciones de respuesta y cómo afecta el límite de tiempo a sus estrategias de resolución y a su confianza en las respuestas. Los estudiantes han resuelto dos bloques de problemas, uno en las condiciones del concurso y otro sin estos condicionantes. Establecemos una categorización para el grado de certeza que muestran los estudiantes en sus respuestas. No se o…
