Abstract

Matematik gibi algılanması güç bir alan için iletişim temelli öğrenme ortamlarının önemi büyüktür. Öğrenme ortamlarında öğretmenlerin öğrencilerinin anlık tepkilerinden matematiksel anlayışlarına dair fikir sahibi olmaları zordur. Öğrencilerin matematiksel fikirlerinin ortaya çıkarılması, karşılıklı diyaloglar, tartışmalar ve iletişimin önemli bir parçası olan söylemlerle mümkün olmaktadır. Diğer yandan, matematik öğretimi kavramsal ve işlemsel öğrenme olmak üzere iki öğrenme türüne dayanmaktadır. Bireylerin matematiksel kavramları ve kavramlar arasındaki ilişkileri zihinlerinde yapılandırmalarını sağlayan ve anlamlı öğrenmenin anahtarı olan öğrenme türü kavramsal öğrenmedir. Matematiksel iletişim temelli bir öğrenme ortamının ayrılmaz bileşenleri olan öğrencilerin diyaloglarının ve etkileşimli alışverişlerinin geliştirilmesinin, onların kavramsal öğrenmelerini derinden geliştirdiğine inanılmaktadır. Bu çalışma, eğitimde iletişim ve söylemlerin merkezi rolünün altını çizmeye çalışmaktadır. Bu bağlamda araştırma, kavramsal öğrenmeyi beslemek ve gerçekleştirmek için iletişim merkezli öğrenme ortamlarının kullandığı derin etkiyi incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Araştırma, matematiksel iletişim odaklı öğrenme ortamlarının, kavramsal anlayışın derinden gerçekleştirilmesi için nasıl katalizör görevi gördüğüne dair ilgili literatür ışığında kapsamlı bir değerlendirmeyi içermektedir.

Constructing Mental Models: Mathematical Communication and Discourses in Conceptual Understanding

Year 2023, Volume: 5 Issue: Özel Sayı, 271 - 305, 29.10.2023

Abstract

In the realm of challenging subjects like mathematics, communication-driven learning environments assume paramount significance. Within these environments, gauging students' grasp of mathematical concepts solely through immediate responses can prove to be a daunting task for educators. The unveiling of students' intricate mathematical insights necessitates a platform of reciprocal dialogues, thought-provoking discussions, and engaging discourses. Mathematics pedagogy revolves around two distinct forms of learning: conceptual and procedural. The former, conceptual learning, empowers learners to organically construct intricate mathematical frameworks within their mental landscapes, interlinking various concepts harmoniously. It is within this context that the cultivation of students' dialogues and interactive exchanges, integral components of a mathematically communicative learning environment, is believed to profoundly enhance their grasp of conceptual dimensions. This study endeavors to underscore the pivotal role of communication and discourses in education. It delves into the profound influence wielded by communication-centric learning settings in nurturing and actualizing conceptual learning. The investigation draws insights from pertinent literature, culminating in a comprehensive exploration of how mathematical communication-oriented learning environments serve as catalysts for the profound realization of conceptual understanding.
