Methods and behavior of
Portuguese students solving algebra problems in pairs
|
|

The study below took place
in Portugal, where secondary school math teachers encountered
serious problems when attempting to motivate their students,
a large number of whom were indifferent to, and failed, math.
Specific pedagogical procedures, designed as experimental case
studies facilitating comparisons, allowed us to observe the
various approaches the children took to algebra problems as
they worked alone or in pairs. The study made manifest the role
played by the modalities of relations between the students in
each pair relative to the group's success in understanding and
completing its task. A growing enthusiasm among the students
also emerged during the study; once they initiated a dialogue,
a series of socio-cognitive interactions, or even conflicts,
their attitude to mathematics improved. |
