While online courses provide opportunities for a range of assessment tools and resources, little is known about how lecturers might best provide assessment cues to support diverse cohorts. This study explored how lecturers communicate messages about assessment expectations to first-year students in two courses at an Australian regional university (Nursing, n = 323; Engineering, n = 153), and how students accessed the assessment resources. A comparative case study methodology was used. Data included interviews with course coordinators to identify the assessment cues provided, course online content related to assessment and data recording student access of assessment resources. Diverse messaging systems were observed and verbal and written cues were abundant and embedded throughout both courses; however, not all students accessed all cues. What remains unclear is how students might bring together these cues in a productive way. Further research must explore the extent to which students can be better supported to improve their learning. 相似文献

Several studies show that university students in Germany still have problems in reasoning mathematically although this already should be fostered at high school since the implementation of standards for school mathematics. Mathematical argumentation is a core competence and highly important, especially in academic mathematics. To foster mathematical argumentation at the beginning of university studies, competence models are needed which give more detailed insights in the skills that are necessary for reasoning. As mathematical argumentation is a complex process, especially at the higher secondary level or at university, many little steps are needed to complete a competence model for argumentation at the secondary–tertiary transition gradually. A possible step can be to initially identify several aspects of mathematical argumentation competence that influence the reasoning quality. The empirical basis for identifying those aspects is a cross-sectional study with 439 engineering students who participate in a transition course in mathematics. We address the following questions: (1) how is the quality of student’s reasoning? (2) Which kind of arguments do students use? (3) What resources do students who reasoned correctly use for solving the problems? (4) Does the content of the tasks play an important role? The results show a great influence of the content on the reasoning quality, especially if the content is abstract or concrete. Argumentation quality of students decreases with an increasing level of abstraction of the content. Furthermore, the results reveal that students often use routines for solving the problems. That indicates that procedural approaches still play an important role in school mathematics. If procedures could be used for solving the tasks, students are more successful. Competence models for mathematical argumentation at the beginning of the tertiary level should, therefore, include these factors. 相似文献

The extent to which students profit from a university course depends on the lecturers?? approach to teaching, with a student-focused approach being more supportive for student gains in competences than a teacher-focused approach. Little is known, however, about how to foster a student-focused approach to teaching. In this paper, we want to investigate how to frame the feedback lecturers obtain from students?? course evaluations in such a manner that a student-focused approach to teaching is encouraged. In two studies using either a qualitative or a quantitative methodology it can be shown that providing lecturers with a feedback on students?? subjective gain in competences (output-focused teaching evaluation) is more effective in promoting a student-focused approach to teaching than a feedback on how satisfied students were with the lecturer (process-focused teaching evaluation). Results are discussed in the context of the Bologna reforms which demand a continuous evaluation of all university courses. 相似文献

This article reports an investigation into how students of a mathematics course for prospective secondary mathematics teachers in England talk about the notion of ‘understanding mathematics in depth’, which was an explicit goal of the course. We interviewed eighteen students of the course. Through our social practice frame and in the light of a review of the literature on mathematical knowledge for teaching, we describe three themes that weave through the students’ talk: reasoning, connectedness and being mathematical. We argue that these themes illuminate privileged messages in the course, as well as the boundary and relationship between mathematical and pedagogic content knowledge in secondary mathematics teacher education practice. 相似文献

Proof and reasoning are fundamental aspects of mathematics. Yet, how to help students develop the skills they need to engage
in this type of higher-order thinking remains elusive. In order to contribute to the dialogue on this subject, we share results
from a classroom-based interpretive study of teaching and learning proof in geometry. The goal of this research was to identify
factors that may be related to the development of proof understanding. In this paper, we identify and interpret students'
actions, teacher's actions, and social aspects that are evident in a classroom in which students discuss mathematical conjectures,
justification processes and student-generated proofs. We conclude that pedagogical choices made by the teacher, as manifested
in the teacher's actions, are key to the type of classroom environment that is established and, hence, to students' opportunities
to hone their proof and reasoning skills. More specifically, the teacher's choice to pose open-ended tasks (tasks which are
not limited to one specific solution or solution strategy), engage in dialogue that places responsibility for reasoning on
the students, analyze student arguments, and coach students as they reason, creates an environment in which participating
students make conjectures, provide justifications, and build chains of reasoning. In this environment, students who actively
participate in the classroom discourse are supported as they engage in proof development activities. By examining connections
between teacher and student actions within a social context, we offer a first step in linking teachers' practice to students'
understanding of proof. 相似文献

Student engagement that leads to enhanced learning outcomes involves three interdependent facets: behaviour, emotion and cognition. As such, learning activities that encourage deep learning and the intellectual challenging of minds should provide opportunities for reasoning and critical and creative thinking. An approach that resonates strongly with student engagement involves fostering student voice in the classroom, and the generation and utilization of students’ questions is one means of achieving this. Implicit in this approach is the need for both teachers and students to pose questions that engage and intellectually challenge thinking. In this pilot case study, eight volunteer teachers from one school chose to investigate their own practice by either focusing on their own questioning skills to foster student engagement in the classroom or, on how they could support their students to generate intellectually challenging questions that lead to increasing student voice, engagement and deeper learning in the classroom. Key findings were that who does the questioning is not an either-or dichotomy, and that significant pedagogical shifting requires a long-term focus. This shift is influenced by teachers’ commitment to using questioning as a pedagogical approach for enhancing student learning. 相似文献

Abstract reasoning refers to the ability to reason logically with premises that do not allow reference to knowledge about
the real world. This form of reasoning is complex and difficult, and at the same time, it is critical for understanding science
and mathematics. Two studies examined the use of analogy as a method to bridge reasoning with familiar content and abstract
reasoning among older adolescents. The results showed that the ability to make an appropriate analogy depends on reasoning
ability. Neither of the two procedures used resulted in an improvement in abstract reasoning. However, generating an inappropriate
analogy actually decreased abstract reasoning performance among students who showed greater initial levels of reasoning ability.
These results highlight the problems associated with using familiar reasoning as a basis for learning abstract reasoning skills. 相似文献

In this article, we describe how using prediction during instruction can create learning opportunities to enhance the understanding
and doing of mathematics. In doing so, we characterize the nature of the predictions students made and the levels of sophistication
in students’ reasoning within a middle school algebra context. In this study, when linear and exponential functions were taught,
prediction questions were posed at the launch of the lessons to reflect the mathematical ideas of each lesson. Students responded
in writing along with supportive reasoning individually and then discussed their predictions and rationale. A total of 395
prediction responses were coded using a dual system: sophistication of reasoning, and the mechanism students appeared to utilize
to formulate their prediction response. The results indicate that using prediction provoked students to connect among mathematical
ideas that they learned. It was apparent that students also visualized mathematical ideas in the problem or the possible results
of the problem. These results suggest that using prediction in fact provides learning opportunities for students to engage
in mathematical sense making and reasoning, which promotes students’ understanding of the mathematics that they learn. 相似文献

The present paper engages in a qualitative research of self-assessment of two lecturers and their students within the framework of a mathematics teaching seminar course (a course during which students submit a research final work) at a teachers’ training college in Israel. Two lecturers co-teach in the course – one of them in the discipline of mathematics and the other in the discipline of academic literacy. The study explores the development process of this experience in the course of one academic year. Data were gathered by means of observations, interviews and reflection records, and the data analysis was done by the ‘grounded theory’ method. The research findings indicate that the self-assessment experience of students is far from being faultless. 相似文献

This study investigated differences between the US and Finland in terms of how students’ attitude is related to mathematical reasoning skills through the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) 2011. Attitude towards mathematics was observed via 3 TIMSS contextual variables: liking mathematics, valuing mathematics, and confidence in mathematics. Scores for mathematical reasoning were collected from the TIMSS 2011 database. We used hierarchical linear modelling to construct multilevel models with interactions of the attitude variables. Findings showed that confidence in mathematics had the strongest positive relationships with mathematical reasoning in both countries. Finnish students generally reported stronger positive relationships between confidence in mathematics and reasoning than US students. Strong relationships between confidence and reasoning remained visible when examining valuing and liking mathematics. Findings provide important implications regarding the complex interactions between attitude towards mathematics and reasoning, critical for mathematics educators and policymakers to consider in an increasingly competitive international environment. 相似文献

This study investigated the relationship between problem familiarity and students’ learning in a problem-based course. Problem familiarity in this study refers to the extent to which a problem fits with students’ prior knowledge and experiences. As part of regular course work, 172 students were given two problems on different occasions. These problems varied in the extent of problem familiarity. Students’ report of their learning activities and tutor’s assessment of the students’ learning were collected at the end of the problems. Results showed that both the students and tutors found the familiar problem to be better for learning. However, some elements of unfamiliarity may not be all that bad. For instance, unfamiliarity may result in more questioning, thinking and reasoning. However, this did not contribute to significant difference in terms of overall critical reasoning. Results also indicated a need to closely examine students’ critical reasoning (in terms of evaluating multiple perspectives) and students’ collaborative learning (in terms of brainstorming and discussion) when given familiar/unfamiliar problems. 相似文献
