Problem solving

Zan and Martino (2007) also argued that lecturer’s attitudes affect the effectiveness of the implementation of Problem solving approach in teaching mathematics. Nagasaki and Senuma (2002) for instance revealed that Japanese teachers perceived students’ ability to think creatively as an important element to succeed in Mathematics.

itself. For Dewey, truth should not make a reference to what is ‘really’ perceived, because that is already implied when speaking about anything. Instead, truth is supposed to be thought of as that which will fulfill the requirements of future problem solving activity. In Section one, I will summarize Dewey’s argument that factual knowledge does not itself count as truth. I will also explain why Dewey criticizes the currently held view that knowledge is justified true belief and what he deems…

I find it extremely interesting that most teachers were not able to give the correct answer to the fraction problem. Fractions may take some time to understand, but a teacher should be able to understand and implement a problem regarding fractions. Also, does putting a fraction into story form confuse teachers and so they are not able to put in the correct way? I believe that teachers need to make sure they are not getting confused with connecting the symbols to elements in the story and then…

qualities of action research and the appropriateness of action research to the research topic The researchers of this research project assumed that action research is always collaborative and that’s why they worked collectively to address the problems that practice teachers face when teaching and managing their classrooms. In addition, the researchers assumed that action research is the effective interactive method that could be used to collect the information needed to explore teaching and…

Prevette’s unique ability to relate the course’s concepts to solving real-world problems inspired me to think about how the course information could be applied to solving real-world problems in a research setting. I felt free to apply my new knowledge, and I was inspired to see how this knowledge was applied by professional scientists. I was inspired to study past the textbook…

The first element is problem-solving, focusing on working with the client’s definitions of problems, working towards their self-identified goals and also ranking the problems in the order in which the client believes they need to be focused on. The problem solving is achieved by the client using their account of the problem, also known as a task centred focus. The element of problem-solving is important within intervention with families as it allows them…
