Design of Erroneous Examples for ACTIVEMATH
نویسنده
چکیده
The behaviorist view of learning that informs much of traditional schooling is not likely to invite students and teachers to see errors in a positive light. This is particularly true for mathematics. Our goal is to change this situation by including erroneous examples and other error-related learning opportunities in ActiveMath. This paper investigates the systematic design of erroneous examples. For this, it analyzes the potential benefits that erroneous examples can have and distinguishes different presentation patterns. This analysis together with first experiences from school and from a university course with ActiveMath informs further research on effects, adaptive choice and presentation of erroneous examples in ActiveMath.

Erroneous Examples as a Source of Learning in Mathematics
We analyze why and how erroneous examples can be beneficially employed in learning mathematics. The ‘Why’ addresses reasoning and attitudes that are rarely fostered in today’s mathematics lessons but which are useful for learning, certainly needed in real life and in all applications of mathematics as well as in maths itself. The ‘How’ addresses pedagogical strategies capitalizing on errors via...
متن کاملLearning from Erroneous Examples
Erroneous examples (ErrEx) that is, worked solutions that include one or more errors that the student is asked to detect, explain, and/or correct have been rarely investigated as a teaching strategy in mathematics. On the contrary, correct worked examples have been the focus of research on mathematics and science problem solving, e.g. (4). Yet, the scarce work on ErrEx in mathematics has provid...
متن کاملEffects of Erroneous Examples
Erroneous examples have rarely been investigated or used as a learning intervention in mathematics learning, either within a technology-enhanced learning (TEL) system or within a classroom. Here, ’erroneous examples’ are (worked) solutions including one or more errors that the student is asked to detect and to correct. Still, an intelligent system could use its potential to help students to wor...
متن کاملErroneous Examples: A Preliminary Investigation into Learning Benefits
In this work, we investigate the effect of presenting students with common errors of other students and explore whether such erroneous examples can help students learn without the embarrassment and demotivation of working with one’s own errors. The erroneous examples are presented to students by a technology enhanced learning (TEL) system. We discuss the theoretical background of learning with ...
