The influence of second language teaching on undergraduate mathematics performance
Understanding abstract concepts and ideas in mathematics, if instruction takes place in the first language of the student, is tough as it is. Yet worldwide it is a recognised problem that students often have to master mathematics via a second or third language. The majority of students in South Africa – a country with eleven official languages – have to face this difficulty. In a quantitative s...
متن کاملVygotskian scientific concepts and connectionist teaching in mathematics
This paper explores Vygotsky's theory of scientific concepts. It does so in direct relation to forms of mathematical pedagogy which strive to develop more meaningful activity than the dominant drill and memory-based practice. In doing so it develops the beginnings of a systematic theoretical explanation, and justification, of such approaches to teaching.

متن کاملMathematics Teaching and Learning
Eighty years ago, L. S. Vygotsky complained that psychology was misled in studying thought independent of emotion. This situation has not signifi cantly changed, as most learning scientists continue to study cognition independent of emotion. In this book, the authors use cultural-historical activity theory as a perspective to investigate cognition, emotion, learning, and teaching in mathematics...
متن کاملInquiry Based-Computational Experiment, Acquisition of Threshold Concepts and Argumentation in Science and Mathematics Education
Computational experiment approach considers models as the fundamental instructional units of Inquiry Based Science and Mathematics Education (IBSE) and STEM Education, where the model take the place of the “classical” experimental set-up and simulation replaces the experiment. Argumentation in IBSE and STEM education is related to the engagement of students/learners in a process where they make...
