Seizing the Opportunity to Create Uncertainty in Learning Mathematics
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper is a reflective account of the design and implementation of mathematical tasks that evoke uncertainty for the learner. Three types of uncertainty associated with mathematical tasks are discussed and illustrated: competing claims, unknown path or questionable conclusion, and non-readily verifiable outcomes. One task is presented in depth, pointing to the dynamic nature of task design, and the added value stimulated by the uncertainty component entailed in the task in terms of mathematical and pedagogical musing.

متن کاملProposing a Robust Model of Interval Data Envelopment Analysis to Performance Measurement under Double Uncertainty Situations
It is very necessary to consider the uncertainty in the data and how to deal with it when performance measurement using data envelopment analysis. Because a little deviation in the data can lead to a significant change in the performance results. However, in the real world and in many cases, the data is uncertain. Interval data envelopment analysis is one of the most widely used approaches to d...
