This paper charts the design and application of a system to support 11-14 year old students' learning of algebraic generalisation, presenting students with the means to develop their understanding of the meaning of generality, see its power for mathematics and develop algebraic ways of thinking. We focus squarely on design, while taking account of…

Reported are the suggestions indicated by research studies to seven questions concerning what is known about the teaching and learning of mathematics. (1) What factors influence the learner's achievement? Answer: Age, intelligence, and the amount of structuring present in the materials. (2) Are there guides for motivation? Answer: Games, concrete…

Horn, Irmhild – South African Journal of Education, 2009
Contemporary education theory (and official South African policy) underwrites learner-centredness. I analyse learner-centredness as a possible piece of the puzzle about why it is proving so difficult to improve academic achievement. Learner-centred ideas are grounded in the belief that cognitive abilities develop spontaneously in accordance with a…

Sandel, Daniel H. – 1971
The discovery method, according to the author, promotes logical thinking, is motivational in nature, makes learning more permanent, produces more usable knowledge, and gets students actively involved. A discovery lesson is characterized by the following: (1) the concept to be learned is not announced, (2) experiences and activities are developed…

SCANDURA, JOSEPH M. – 1967
THIS STUDY RELATED TO DISCOVERY METHODS OF TEACHING AND LEARNING WAS CONCERNED WITH TWO MAJOR QUESTIONS. FIRST, CAN "WHAT IS LEARNED" THROUGH MATHEMATICAL DISCOVERY BE IDENTIFIED AND TAUGHT BY EXPOSITION WITH EQUIVALENT RESULTS. SECOND, HOW DOES "WHAT IS LEARNED" DEPEND ON PRIOR LEARNING AND ON THE NATURE OF THE DISCOVERY…

Peer reviewedBrown, Stephen I. – Curriculum Theory Network, 1976
Using mathematics as an example, the nature of the confusion between "knowledge" and "coming to know" is elucidated. The range of curriculum choices available to structuralists once the distinction is clarified is larger, and teaching a body of knowledge and teaching by discovery are compatible. (Author/MLF)

Gijlers, Hannie; de Jong, Ton – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2005
In this study we investigate how prior knowledge influences knowledge development during collaborative discovery learning. Fifteen dyads of students (pre-university education, 15-16 years old) worked on a discovery learning task in the physics field of kinematics. The (face-to-face) communication between students was recorded and the interaction…

Petreshene, Susan S. – 1978
Practical, classroom-tested ideas for developing classroom learning centers are presented in this book. The sixteen chapters deal with the following topics: an overview of learning centers and individualization, basic considerations in setting up a learning center, getting started, mechanics of operating learning centers, room arrangement and…
