What strategies are used by middle school students while solving mathematical tasks in a digital form
Journal Title: International Journal of Pedagogy, Innovation and New Technologies - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Mathematical problems are the source of mathematical and logical experience, in which student’s mind builds its mathematical competences. The sort of mathematical problems that are given to students and its form are not of no importance. Herein focus will be put on certain issues resulting from the usage of mathematical tasks presented to students in a digital form. The author, based on her own study, characterizes the strategies that were used by the middle school students while solving interactive mathematical tasks. She states that no intervention from teacher’s side, thus letting students use a free method for solving tasks, does not positively influence the mathematical competences to be acquired. With this, she questions the thesis that the middle school students grew up in the world of multimedia where the work with such mathematical task solving comes in a natural way. To the author’s way of thinking, it is necessary to work out a methodology that will be aiming at introducing students to solving mathematical tasks in a digital form.<br/><br/>
