Mathematics teachers opinions after training on educational neuroscience

Educational neuroscience is a multidisciplinary field established to provide assistance to students by bringing together neuroscience, cognitive psychology and pedagogy. With the development of this field, it is likely that different approaches such as the creation of student-centered education models that appeal to different intelligence types will be applied in education. Educational neuroscience aims to understand the practices and methods in education by examining brain activity, learning processes and mental functions, and thus to create a more supportive learning environment in school environments. One way to adapt the findings obtained from neuroscience studies to education is to first inform the teacher about the basic information of the educational neuroscience approach. In this direction, the aim of the research conducted is to examine the views of mathematics teachers after the training application on educational neuroscience. In this study, a case study, which is one of the qualitative research methods, was preferred. The data of the study were obtained from mathematics teachers working in different schools, determined through easily accessible case sampling, which is one of the purposeful sampling methods. The teachers participating in the research consist of 10 people, 2 of whom have a master's degree, 1 of whom is doing a master's degree, and 7 of whom have a bachelor's degree. The findings reveal that teachers have a positive perception of the connection between neuroscience and education. In addition, the teachers particularly emphasized that educators, neuroscientists and other relevant experts should work together for the development and applicability of educational neuroscience. Teachers commented on the application of neuroscience data to educational practice in terms of mathematics lessons, such as making mathematical knowledge permanent and determining which students should use mathematical teaching materials more. It is recommended that teachers and researchers work collaboratively to advance the developing field of educational neuroscience.

A Comparative Study of Secondary School Mathematics Teaching Materials from the Perspective of Reasoning--Taking "Pythagorean Theorem" as an Example

Education has always been a hot topic of discussion. From the results of junior high school mathematics assessments in recent years, there are differences in mathematical abilities between Eastern Europe and Europe and America. Since reasoning is crucial to understanding mathematics, we compare the "Pythagorean Theorem" in textbooks from China, the United States, and Singapore, examining the theorem's different types of reasoning and how it relates to previously acquired knowledge. The reasoning categories proposed by Shi Ningzhong, Harel, and Sowder serve as the fundamental basis for categorizing the varieties of reasoning in this research. The introduction of proofs for the hook and Pythagorean theorem is investigated for each edition of the textbook, and concerning the deductive reasoning ability, the People's Education Press edition (PEP) and Zhejiang Education edition (ZJE) editions are in the first tier, followed by Singaporean textbooks and American textbooks. In terms of the correlation between the Pythagorean theorem and what has been learned, the ZJE involves the most points of correlation. Finally, we discuss the implications of these results for teachers' explanations of the Pythagorean theorem: teachers can briefly introduce the geometric deductive proof process of the Pythagorean theorem to stimulate students' interest in learning mathematics.

Static, dynamic and interactive elements in digital teaching materials in mathematics

Contemporary comprehensive mathematics teaching material covering whole courses has developed substantially from the early versions that roughly were ‘books as pdf’ with some complementary online material. In teaching materials that are offered in online web portals (digital teaching platforms) a variety of dynamic and interactive elements can be utilised, offering new ways to engage with mathematics. Despite this recent development, the variety of affordances of the digital environment are utilised to a surprisingly small extent. The pros and cons with digital teaching materials in mathematics are debated, and publishers advertise with arguments about algorithms that lay out an ideal learning path and about joyful content. Critical for students’ learning while working with teaching materials is however that they find it meaningful to use the materials, a persistence in the interaction with the materials, and furthermore that the willingness to explore mathematics remains. In this study students’ interaction with digital teaching material with various kinds of dynamic and interactive elements supplementing the static parts in the presentation of new content is explored. Differences in students’ attention to mathematical facts, essential in the problem solving, is captured using an eye-tracker. Analyses of differences in attentive behaviour depending on the kind of digital element that are used for presentation reveal that the type of digital element that students attend the least to is static elements. Differences in what is offered to and what is demanded from a reader when mathematical facts are presented using various digital elements is discussed and potential implications from the results are suggested.
