Assessing learning from mathematics inquiry: Challenges for students, teachers and researchers
Diezmann, Carmel M. (2004) Assessing learning from mathematics inquiry: Challenges for students, teachers and researchers. In Mathematical Association of Victoria Conference, 4-5 December, Melbourne.
Abstract
Inquiry approaches (e.g. open-ended questions, investigations, thought experiments) are advocated in mathematics because they engage students and suit a range of student capabilities. They also provide authentic opportunities for teamwork and co-construction of knowledge. Hence, although mathematical knowledge is essential in an inquiry approach it is not sufficient. Through practical examples, this paper will explore various types of inquiry tasks and the implications for assessment.
Citations:
Citation countsare sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
