Book excerpt: In un sondaggio svolto a novembre sottoponendo un questionario a una classe del primo anno del Liceo di Lugano 1 abbiamo indagato quale sia la percezione e il grado di motivazione degli allievi verso lo studio della matematica e quali possano essere gli strumenti per migliorarne la percezione e la motivazione, seguendo le indicazioni del modello ARCS, brevemente descritto in questo lavoro di diploma. Gl'interventi didattici che abbiamo considerati utili a questo scopo sono stati: (1) insistere sul fatto che la matematica non è soltanto arido calcolo ma è soprattutto bellezza di ragionamento e inoppugnabilità di argomentazione, proponendo agli allievi delle attività di dimostrazione matematica, più o meno guidate, adatte al loro livello di maturità cognitiva e disciplinare; (2) proporre agli allievi di quando in quando esercizi abbastanza articolati, assecondando un desiderio espresso nel sondaggio; (3) far svolgere un agli allievi un lavoro di ricerca sul tema "Dove si cela la matematica?", per mezzo del quale gli allievi hanno potuto scoprire aspetti e applicazioni inaspettate della matematica, stimolando in questo modo la loro naturale curiosità; (4) favorire l'utilizzo di strumenti informatici sia durante le lezione sia nello studio a casa, al fine di rendere più chiare situazioni geometriche o di risolvere con l'ordinatore dei calcoli algebrici che talvolta possono risultare piuttosto tediosi. L'esito di questi interventi è stato misurato a maggio con un secondo sondaggio simile al primo. I risultati vengono descritti nella parte finale di questo lavoro: essi sono ambivalenti, nel senso che se da una parte alcuni allievi, soprattutto d'indirizzo scientifico, hanno apprezzato questi interventi didattici, in particolare il lavoro di ricerca, d'altro canto il peso dell'impegno e della fatica richiesti sono emersi nelle risposte date soprattutto dagli allievi d'indirizzo linguistico.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La qualità dell'apprendimento e l'efficacia dell'insegnamento dipendono in ma- niera sensibile dai profili motivazionali degli allievi. Stimolare e sostenere l'atten- zione e la motivazione degli allievi è dunque una delle principali preoccupazioni di un docente. In questo lavoro presentiamo un percorso didattico volto a sviluppare una o più dimensioni della motivazione allo studio della matematica in allievi di due classi prime del Liceo di Lugano 1. L'analisi quantitativa e qualitativa dei profili motivazionali degli allievi ha preliminarmente caratterizzato le aree di difficoltà individuali, evidenziando in particolare l'alternarsi di dubbi e certezze circa la rilevanza della matematica nel curriculum di studi degli allievi, nonché l'utilità della disciplina nel loro futuro di adulti. Il percorso didattico proposto si prefiggeva di coinvolgere gli allievi ad effettuare, in gruppi, una piccola attività di ricerca su tematiche di loro scelta, tra una rosa di possibili argomenti scelti dal docente, ed esplorare così le molte possibili connessioni della matematica con le altre discipline, nonché scoprirne la pervasività. La valutazione del percorso didattico proposto offre l'occasione di una serie di riflessioni critiche. In parti- colare, una rilettura della proposta suggerirebbe di articolarla attorno ad aree tematiche specifiche, decise a priori dal docente, che abbiano attinenza con il programma di matematica di prima liceo, pur mantenendo la caratteristiche di interdisciplinarietà necessarie a far vivere la materia in tutta la sua affascinante completezza.

This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I liceali non sono motivati allo studio della matematica? E possibile far aumentare il grado di soddisfazione proponendo stimoli che vadano al di l a del classico approccio scolastico? Si sono raccolti i dati mediante un questionario iniziale e un tema. Dopo aver studiato nel dettaglio il rapporto degli allievi di prima liceo con la materia, si e proposto un lungo percorso didattico inusuale, mirato e diversi cato secondo le particolari sensibilit a didattiche della docente e le esigenze emerse dagli studenti. Il lavoro svolto ha avuto come scopo, da un lato, l'esplorazione di un ambito della matematica che sia di interesse degli studenti e, dall'altro, la realizzazione di una breve relazione scritta (Google-Drive), di una presentazione orale che sintetizzasse il lavoro svolto (PowerPoint) e di un cartellone di sintesi da esporre nel corridoio del liceo. Il lavoro di approfondimento e di ricerca degli allievi e stato seguito dai singoli docenti, con particolare riguardo alla necessit a di indirizzarli alle diverse fonti di informazione, di aiutarli nell'organizzare il materiale raccolto e nella gestione del tempo, di seguirli nella fase di stesura e di prestare supporto nell'uso di tecnologie informatiche. Nel caso speci co, tutto il materiale prodotto dagli alunni della 1L e della 1J e stato caricato dalla sottoscritta sulla piattaforma creata in ambito del corso di TIC e condiviso tra le due clas- si. La speranza dei ricercatori, n dal principio, e stata quella che il singolo, il gruppo e in ne il gruppo classe si potessero sentire parte di un progetto collettivo che abbracciasse diverse sezionii dello stesso istituto. In questo lavoro e stato possibile per gli allievi confrontarsi e curiosare tra le ricerche, non solo della propria classe, ma anche delle altre che hanno aderito al progetto.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: È vero che gli studenti liceali mancano della giusta motivazione nello studio della matematica? Come è possibile proporre degli stimoli per migliorare il grado di soddisfazione nello studio della materia in parallelo al naturale sviluppo cognitivo degli allievi? Come sviluppare la cultura matematica oltre il consueto "addestramento" al calcolo di prima liceo? Il percorso didattico qui proposto si è fondamentalmente suddiviso in quattro distinte parti: nella prima si è analizzato nel dettaglio il rapporto con la matematica degli allievi di prima liceo dell'intero istituto; nella seconda fase, a partire dai risultati ottenuti, si è intrapreso un itinerario inusuale, mirato e diversificato secondo le particolari sensibilità didattiche del docente e degli studenti; nella terza fase gli allievi hanno condiviso all'interno della classe (presentazioni orali) e verso l'esterno (giornata autogestita ed esposizione nell'atrio del liceo) i lavori di ricerca svolti; nella quarta e ultima fase si è sottoposto un nuovo questionario che ha evidenziato dei cambiamenti apprezzabili nelle classi. Gli studenti hanno inoltre potuto approfondire e sviluppare i contenuti delle ricerche attraverso una serie di esercizi redatta ad hoc dai singoli gruppi: una forma di apprendimento innovativa che ha coinvolto in modo positivo le classi.

Book excerpt: This volume addresses the key issue of the initial education and lifelong professional learning of teachers of mathematics to enable them to realize the affordances of educational technology for mathematics. With invited contributions from leading scholars in the field, this volume contains a blend of research articles and descriptive texts. In the opening chapter John Mason invites the reader to engage in a number of mathematics tasks that highlight important features of technology-mediated mathematical activity. This is followed by three main sections: An overview of current practices in teachers’ use of digital technologies in the classroom and explorations of the possibilities for developing more effective practices drawing on a range of research perspectives (including grounded theory, enactivism and Valsiner’s zone theory). A set of chapters that share many common constructs (such as instrumental orchestration, instrumental distance and double instrumental genesis) and research settings that have emerged from the French research community, but have also been taken up by other colleagues. Meta-level considerations of research in the domain by contrasting different approaches and proposing connecting or uniting elements

Book excerpt: What is a rubric and how are they being used in teacher education and evaluation? When did rubrics become ubiquitous in the field of education? What impact do rubrics have on students, teachers, teacher educators, and the educational enterprise? This book is an edited volume of essays that critically examine the phenomenon of rubrics in teacher education, evaluation and education more broadly. Rubrics have seen a dramatic rise in use and presence over the past twenty-five years in colleges of education and districts across the country. Although there is a wealth of literature about how to make rubrics, there is scant literature that explores the strengths and weaknesses of rubrics and the impact the rubric phenomenon is having in reshaping education. The chapters included in this edited volume will critically reflect on the contemporary contexts of rubrics and the uses and impact of rubrics in education. Since rubrics have become indelible in education, it is necessary for a fuller, nuanced discussion of the phenomenon. Creating a book that explores these aspects of rubrics is timely and fundamental to expanding the discourse on this ubiquitous evaluation tool. This book is not meant to be a series of chapters dedicated to best practices for creating rubrics, nor is this text meant to present all sides of the rubric discussion. Rather, this text intends to offer critical polemics about rubrics that can spur greater critical discussion about a phenomenon in education that has largely been unquestioned in the literature.

This book was released on 2011-05-15 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-regulated learning (or self-regulation) refers to the process whereby learners personally activate and sustain cognitions, affects, and behaviours that are systematically oriented toward the attainment of learning goals. This is the first volume to integrate into a single volume all aspects of the field of self-regulation of learning and performance: basic domains, applications to content areas, instructional issues, methodological issues, and individual differences. It draws on research from such diverse areas as cognitive, educational, clinical, social, and organizational psychology. Distinguishing features include: Chapter Structure – To ensure uniformity and coherence across chapters, each chapter author addresses the theoretical ideas underlying their topic, research evidence bearing on these ideas, future research directions, and implications for educational practice. International – Because research on self-regulation is increasingly global, a significant number of interntional contributors are included (see table of contents). Readable – In order to make the book accessible to students, chapters have been carefully edited for clarity, conciseness, and organizational consistency. Expertise – All chapters are written by leading researchers from around the world who are highly regarded experts on their particular topics and are active contributors to the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, educators have become increasingly concerned with students' attempts to manage their own learning and achievement efforts through activities that influence the instigation, direction and persistence of those efforts. In 1989, Zimmerman and Schunk edited the first book devoted to this topic. They assembled key theorists offering a range of perspectives on how students self-regulate their academic functioning. One purpose of that volume was to provide theoretical direction to ongoing as well as nascent efforts to explore academic self-regulatory processes. Since that date, there has been an exponential surge in research. This second volume on academic self-regulation offers the fruits of the first generation of research. It also addresses a number of key issues that have arisen since then such as how self-regulation differs from such related constructs as motivation and metacognition, and whether students can be taught self-regulatory skills. The contributors reveal an interesting, uplifting, and at times, disturbing picture of how students grapple with the day-to-day problems of achieving in circumstances with inherent limitations and obstacles. This volume provides insight into the source of students' capabilities to surmount adversities -- the origins of their self-initiated processes designed to improve learning, motivation, and achievement. The text is organized on the basis of a conceptual framework that analyzes academic self-regulation into four major dimensions. That model is presented in the first chapter, and key processes that influence each of these dimensions are discussed by prominent researchers in the chapters that follow. Because each chapter is written to follow a common format, this work provides a level of continuity and parsimony normally found only in authored textbooks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Achievement tests play an important role in modern societies. They are used to evaluate schools, to assign students to tracks within schools, and to identify weaknesses in student knowledge. The GED is an achievement test used to grant the status of high school graduate to anyone who passes it. GED recipients currently account for 12 percent of all high school credentials issued each year in the United States. But do achievement tests predict success in life? The Myth of Achievement Tests shows that achievement tests like the GED fail to measure important life skills. James J. Heckman, John Eric Humphries, Tim Kautz, and a group of scholars offer an in-depth exploration of how the GED came to be used throughout the United States and why our reliance on it is dangerous. Drawing on decades of research, the authors show that, while GED recipients score as well on achievement tests as high school graduates who do not enroll in college, high school graduates vastly outperform GED recipients in terms of their earnings, employment opportunities, educational attainment, and health. The authors show that the differences in success between GED recipients and high school graduates are driven by character skills. Achievement tests like the GED do not adequately capture character skills like conscientiousness, perseverance, sociability, and curiosity. These skills are important in predicting a variety of life outcomes. They can be measured, and they can be taught. Using the GED as a case study, the authors explore what achievement tests miss and show the dangers of an educational system based on them. They call for a return to an emphasis on character in our schools, our systems of accountability, and our national dialogue.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in an era defined by a wealth of open and readily available information, and the accelerated evolution of social, mobile and creative technologies. The provision of knowledge, once a primary role of educators, is now devolved to an immense web of free and readily accessible sources. Consequently, educators need to redefine their role not just “from sage on the stage to guide on the side” but, as more and more voices insist, as “designers for learning”. The call for such a repositioning of educators is heard from leaders in the field of technology-enhanced learning (TEL) and resonates well with the growing culture of design-based research in Education. However, it is still struggling to find a foothold in educational practice. We contend that the root causes of this discrepancy are the lack of articulation of design practices and methods, along with a shortage of tools and representations to support such practices, a lack of a culture of teacher-as-designer among practitioners, and insufficient theoretical development. The Art and Science of Learning Design (ASLD) explores the frameworks, methods, and tools available for teachers, technologists and researchers interested in designing for learning Learning Design theories arising from findings of research are explored, drawing upon research and practitioner experiences. It then surveys current trends in the practices, methods, and methodologies of Learning Design. Highlighting the translation of theory into practice, this book showcases some of the latest tools that support the learning design process itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together internationally known researchers representing different theoretical perspectives on students' self-regulation of learning. Diverse theories on how students become self-regulated learners are compared in terms of their conceptual origins, scientific form, research productivity, and pedagogical effectiveness. This is the only comprehensive comparison of diverse classical theories of self-regulated learning in print. The first edition of this text, published in 1989, presented descriptions of such differing perspectives as operant, phenomenological, social learning, volitional, Vygotskian, and constructivist theories. In this new edition, the same prominent editors and authors reassess these classic models in light of a decade of very productive research. In addition, an information processing perspective is included, reflecting its growing prominence. Self-regulation models have proven especially appealing to teachers, coaches, and tutors looking for specific recommendations regarding how students activate, alter, and sustain their learning practices. Techniques for enhancing these processes have been studied with considerable success in tutoring sessions, computer learning programs, coaching sessions, and self-directed practice sessions. The results of these applications are discussed in this new edition. The introductory chapter presents a historical overview of research and a theoretical framework for comparing and contrasting the theories described in the following chapters, all of which follow a common organizational format. This parallel format enables the book to function like an authored textbook rather than a typical edited volume. The final chapter offers an historical assessment of changes in theory and trends for future research. This volume is especially relevant for students and professionals in educational psychology, school psychology, guidance and counseling, developmental psychology, child and family development, as well as for students in general teacher education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume focuses on the role of motivational processes – such as goals, attributions, self-efficacy, outcome expectations, self-concept, self-esteem, social comparisons, emotions, values, and self-evaluations– in self-regulated learning. It provides theoretical and empirical evidence demonstrating the role of motivation in self-regulated learning, and discusses detailed applications of the principles of motivation and self-regulation in educational contexts. Each chapter includes a description of the motivational variables, the theoretical rationale for their importance, research evidence to support their role in self-regulation, suggestions for ways to incorporate motivational variables into learning contexts to foster self-regulatory skill development, and achievement outcomes.
