Answer to Question #194161 in Algebra for DD CHILOANE

Question

a) Can logico mathematical knowledge be transmitted from teacher to learner while the learner remains passive?

b) Logico mathematical knowledge is acquired through reflective abstraction, depending on the child's mind and the way he/she interprets reality (use mathematical content to discuss the statement)

c) Name ten reasons for assessing learners in mathematics

Answer 1

Ans:- (a) Yes, this is knowledge that is constructed within the mind of the learner. It is based on the foundation of physical knowledge. If you have a blue ball and a red ball (the color of the balls is observable and is therefore an example of physical knowledge) but that there is a difference in the color of the balls is logico-mathematical. 

(b)Reflective abstraction is a concept introduced by Piaget to describe the construction of logico– mathematical structures by an individual during the course of cognitive development.

(c) These ten methods are especially appropriate for assessing students' ability to identify and define a problem and what they already know; to make a plan; to create and modify problem-solving strategies; to collect, organize, and analyze needed information; to discuss, review, revise, and explain results; to persist in work .
