Dynamic reasoning in elementary geometry – how to achieve it?

Ewa Swoboda — 2012

Didactica Mathematicae

Theories of creating mathematical concepts and mathematicalreasoning do not say much about the way in which dynamic reasoningis associated with the development of geometrical thinking. Historicalreview shows that using movement in geometry was differently seen byits creators. Also, approach by psychology does not indicate a simpleway how to connect visual thinking (present at preparatory stage of reasoning)with operational thinking and movement in geometric reasoning.Therefore identification of...

Space, geometrical regularities and shapes in children's learning and teaching

Ewa Swoboda — 2008

Didactica Mathematicae

Geometrical activities for young children cannot be oriented towards the `ready-made' products like geometrical concepts or skills. An early childhood education could be dedicated to the gathering of experiences, which will be the 128 Ewa Swoboda base for a conscious mental process of creating such concepts at later stages of mathematical education. In other words { it is a very important, indispensable preparatory period for `true' mathematics, and at the same time, it is a period which can be...

Students' mental manipulation of a shape at the early educational level

Ewa SwobodaMałgorzata Zambrowska — 2019

Didactica Mathematicae

In this article we present results of research aiming at describing the strategies used by 10-year-old children while solving one geometric task. The research was lead through three different stages. In May 2015 the Educational Research Institute in Poland carried out a survey titled Competences Of Third Grades. One task, related to the domain "the geometric imagination", solved by 199 361 students, achieved a low degree of solvability, also among students achieving good results in other educational...

Wpływ pierwotnych reprezentacji na formalne rozumienie pojęć geometrycznych

Marta PytlakEwa Swoboda — 2017

Didactica Mathematicae

W tym artykule analizujemy trudności studentów matematyki w przejściuod rozumienia trapezu jako czworoboku posiadającego dwie podstawy różnejdługości do ujęcia zgodnego z jego formalną definicją. Nasze badanie zostałoprzeprowadzone wśród 25 studentów – przyszłych nauczycieli matematyki. Wtrakcie studiów studenci ukończyli kurs „geometrii elementarnej”, który trwał2 semestry (60 godzin wykładów i 60 godzin ćwiczeń). Celem tego kursu było,między innymi, zapoznanie studentów z podstawowymi pojęciami...

Ewolucja znaczenia słowa w matematyce jako problem dydaktyczny

Jana SlezakovaEwa Swoboda — 2008

Didactica Mathematicae

The research problem of this investigation is what are the sources of misunderstandings between the teacher and a student that spontaneously occur during a mathematical discourse. Several episodes of mathematics classes are here analyzed, in which the meaning of a word or expression was different for the teacher and a student. They are analyzed with respect to four kinds of cognitive obstacles identified previously: Different understanding of the context of a situation or a problem. The teacher...
