Assessing Problem-Solving Dispositions: Likelihood-To-Act Survey, Kien Lim, Osvaldo Morera, Mourat Tchoshanov

This paper reports an ongoing study that is aimed at developing an instrument for measuring two particular problem-solving dispositions: (a) impulsive disposition refers to students’ proclivity to spontaneously proceed with an action that comes to mind, and (b) analytic disposition refers to the tendency to analyze the problem situation. The instrument is under development and consists of likelihood-to-act items in which participants indicate on a scale of 1 to 5 how likely they are to take a particular action in a given situation. The instrument was administered to 318 college students, mainly pre-service teachers. Statistical analysis indicates that likelihood-to-act items …

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.
