Project Details
Description
"Mathematical problem-posing" is a process in which students pose mathematics problems themselves and solve them by themselves. It is a method of in-depth mathematics learning because students need to combine mathematical knowledge and experience to re-construct a meaningful and appropriate mathematics problem, helping students rethink and understand more thoroughly the mathematical concepts they have learnt before. Learning by peer teaching is a form of collaborative learning, through the communicating process with each other, students re-organize and clarify mathematics concepts. This proposal extends the "Math Island" project. Right now, there are 251 schools with 1,311 classes and a total of 20,099 students using Math Island to learn mathematics. As a sub-system of the Math Island, this project will develop a mathematical problem-posing and peer teaching sub-system for Math Island based on Interest-Driven Creator Theory, especially, the Creation Loop in the theory. This is a three-year project. In the first year, we will design an online mathematical problem-posing, learning by teaching system prototype, and prepare some experimental mathematical materials. In the second year, implementing an experiment with the sub-system and further develop the sub-system with more supporting functions. Finally, in the last year, the effect with mathematical problem-solving, learning by teaching, and interest were evaluated.
