Continuing Discussion Of Mathematical Habits Of Mind, Annie Selden, Kien H. Lim
Continuing Discussion Of Mathematical Habits Of Mind, Annie Selden, Kien H. Lim
Kien H Lim
The idea of “mathematical habits of mind” has been introduced to emphasize the need to help students think about mathematics “the way mathematicians do.” There seems to be considerable interest among mathematics educators and mathematicians in helping students develop mathematical habits of mind. The objectives of this working group are: (a) to continue the discussion of various views and aspects of mathematical habits of mind begun at PME-NA 31, (b) to explore avenues for research, (c) to encourage research collaborations, and (d) to interest doctoral students in this topic.

The objectives of this working group are: (a) to discuss various views and aspects of mathematical habits of mind, (b) to explore avenues for research, (c) to encourage research collaborations, and (d) to interest doctoral students in this topic. To facilitate the discussion during the working group meetings, we provide an overview of mathematical habits of mind, including concepts that are closely related to habits of mind—ways of thinking, mathematical practices, knowing-to act in the moment, cognitive disposition, and behavioral schemas. We invite mathematics educators who are interested in habits of mind, and especially those who have conducted research related …

Cuoco, Goldenberg, and Mark advocate habits of mind as an organizing principle for a mathematics curriculum where students learn to be “pattern sniffers, experimenters, describers, tinkerers, inventors, visualizers, conjecturers, and guessers.” Harel regards habits of mind as interiorized ways of thinking—conceptual tools that are necessary for constructing mathematical objects. Presenters for this session offer various perspectives and strategies for helping students develop mathematical habits of mind, including examples from different content areas and at different levels.

2008年5月22日，香港数学教育学会在香港浸会大学举行了研讨会。本文以该研讨会上的发言为蓝本，区分了以下四种差异：（1）约定俗成的数学与学校数学之间的差异；（2）理解方式与思维方式之间的差异；（3）成熟的学习者与被动的学习者之间的差异；（4）知识传授与知识参与这两种教学模式之间的差异。文章还讨论了Harel提出的教学原则以及数学任务的设计与它们在课堂中的使用，并呈现了具体的案例来说明如何设计数学任务以实现特定的学习与教学目标，如激发学生学习某一特定概念的需要，促进理想的思维方式，阻止不合适的思维方式以及评估学生的概念性理解。

A Project NeXT panel on “Helping Students Develop Mathematical Habits of Mind without Compromising Key Concepts from the Syllabus” was held at the San Diego Joint Mathematics Meetings 2008. This article summarizes the main points presented by four panelists: Al Cuoco, Harel Guershon, Hyman Bass, and Annie Selden.
