Transposition Teaching Algebra in Engineering. The Case of Linear Equations Systems

by Silvia Elena Ibarra Olmos at the Center for Research in Applied Science and Technology (CICATA), Instituto Politecnico Nacional, Mexico.

SUMMARY:
This paper presents a study of changes that you have a knowledge of algebra, the reference to systems of linear equations, from which is included in an engineering curriculum until it is staged in classroom. This process of change is an example of the phenomenon known as transposition in Mathematics Education Teaching, which consists, in general, in the series of transformations that it undergoes a mathematical knowledge to move from one institution to another. From then on the acceptance of the existence of transposition, we looked at to characterize the micro level, for which we use some approaches that are part Approach ontosemiotic of Cognition and Instruction Mathematics: the notions of referential meaning, Meaning and Significance Intended Implemented, each of which is described by paths and epistemic and educational settings. This approach allowed us to perceive what and in what way were the changes that occurred to the systems of linear equations, in addition to its impact on the algebra curriculum of engineering students at a public university in Mexico.

Conferences - Seminars Teaching Analysis "Thesis

the week from 24 to 29 November John D. Godin gave a lecture followed by seminar, entitled, "Developing Educational Skills Analysis Professor of Mathematics "in the following Mexican institutions:

- Universidad Autonoma de Guerrero, Department of Mathematics, Head of Acapulco.

- Center for Research in Mathematics Education Mathematics Academic Unit of the Autonomous University of Guerrero, Headquarters Chilpancingo.

- Mathematics Education Department, CINVESTAV, Mexico.

SUMMARY:
One of the main tasks of the math teacher is the design, implementation and evaluation of their teaching practice in order to promote student learning . It is well known the complexity of this task, if we consider the various facets involved and the factors that affect teaching and learning of mathematics. This conference will present some theoretical notions that can help teachers reflect on their own mathematics teaching practice, while opening new perspectives for research in mathematics education. These notions are based on the theoretical approach on the mathematical knowledge and learning that we describe as "ontosemiotic", which takes into account the epistemic dimensions (played as an anthropological), cognitive (a semiotic approach) and instructional (an approximation socio-constructivist) the study of mathematics.

THE INTEGRAL IN A REAL VARIABLE IN THE TRAINING TECHNICAL COLLEGE: DIMENSIONS FOUND IN THE TEACHING AND LEARNING

by Luis E. Able P . and directed by Dr. Mario Arrieche

was presented at the Pedagogical University Experimental Libertador Pedagogical Institute "Rafael Alberto Escobar, Ed.D. (Maracay, Venezuela). SUMMARY


The integral in a real variable, is a topic of calculus has many applications in the work of technology, there is present in technical training university. However, students have difficulties to understand and apply this mathematical object. That is why this research investigated deeply and systematically on this issue. It was assumed theoretical framework Ontological-semiotic approach to cognition and mathematics instruction (Godino, 2003), as it provides tools to analyze the processes of teaching and learning of mathematics from the epistemological, cognitive and instructional brought into play in the teaching and learning of mathematics. The research methodology, was formed by qualitative and quantitative approaches, but mainly qualitatively. Epistemic analysis was developed to also delve into the institutional meaning of reference (intended, implemented and evaluated) on the integral in a real variable, identified six configurations epistemic (Godino, 2003). In assessing the process of studying for the teaching of the definite integral, developed with a group of students IUET computing career-La Victoria, we noted at the outset that the criteria for evaluating the educational adequacy allow us to perfect the process . In response to them can highlight a few conclusions: a) It is necessary to harmonize the geometrical and analytical aspects present in the concept of integral, b) using mathematical software to simulate processes quadratures which improves the ability of abstraction and infinite geometric issues, c) if the students are clear about the concepts, theorems and interpretations of the integral geometric a real variable, can solve problems using the computer even have a deficiency in the calculation and d) the difficulties of students in the integral calculus are determined by deficiencies in basic operations of algebra and arithmetic.

Descriptors:
The integral variable in a real, ontological-semiotic approach, personal meanings, meanings institutional teaching experience, educational qualifications and epistemic configuration.

Abstract:
The analysis of the educational practise is an important part of professional development, as it permits reflection on the various issues that condition the teaching and learning processes. The complexity of these processes requires the integration and application of theoretical tools that facilitate carrying out a systemic analysis. The perspectives required to analyse mathematical practice in the classroom are diverse, but can be usefully grouped in three categories: 1) the epistemic perspective, the goal of which is to provide adequate tools - what we shall refer to as "onto-semiotic" tools - for analysing the objects and mathematical processes (personal and institutional) that intervene in an instructional process; 2) the normative perspective, which should furnish us with the tools for analysing the sociomathematical and social norms that regulate the study process; and, 3) the axiological perspective, which provides us with the tools to evaluate the efficacy of teachers' own practice. In this paper, we centre our study on the epistemic perspective and use the notions drawn from the onto-semiotic approach to mathematical cognition in analysing a textbook task.

Abstract:
We adapt the onto-semiotic approach to research in mathematics education developed by Godino and his colleagues (e.g., Font, D'Amore & Godino, 2007; Godino, Batanero & Roa, 2005) in order to better understand certain disparities in the interpretation of classroom socio-mathematical norms (Yackel & Cobb, 1996). In this approach, the experience of Disparities in the interpretation of Norms Can Be conceptualizad as the experience of semiotic Conflicts. We explore semiotic Conflicts in the mathematics classroom in relation to: 1) Mathematical Practices That Are Being Developed Within the classroom, 2) socio-Mathematical Norms That Intervene in the orchestration of the practices, and 3) Differences in the interpretation of the norms.

AND epistemic ANALYSIS OF AN ARITHMETIC COGNITIVISM - Algebraic PROBLEM SOLUTION


Abstract:

We analyze the solution of a problem proposed on the context of a mathematics methods course for in-training primary teachers, by applying some notions of the “onto-semiotic approach” to mathematics knowledge. The generalization of the arithmetic statement given to students involves the use of algebraic reasoning, giving way to the study of the relations between arithmetic and algebra, as well as the relations between empirical and deductive argumentation. The solution of elementary problems and the epistemic-cognitive reflection on the objects and meanings used during the solution is proposed as a means to overcome a limited students’ conception on the nature of mathematics, usually reduced to its conceptual and procedural aspects.

Is There Any Prams In Sims 2

Multidisciplinary Seminar on Communications

On Thursday April 10, 2008 was held at the Universidad del Valle (Cali, Colombia), in the framework of the Inter-institutional Ph.D. in Education, the seminar entitled, Can ontosemiotic approach in applying the various Science Education?, conducted by JD Godino.

SUMMARY:

ontosemiotic Approach (EOS) is a theoretical framework that has emerged within the mathematics education with the purpose of expressing different points of view and theoretical notions about knowledge mathematical teaching and learning. To this end we adopt a global perspective, taking into account the various dimensions involved and the interactions between them. In particular, it proposes an epistemological model of mathematics based on anthropological assumptions / sociocultural ( Bloor, 1983; Chevallard, 1992, Radford, 2006 ), a mathematical model of cognition - on bases semiotics (Eco , 1976; Hjelmslev, 1943; Peirce, 1931-58) and an instructional model - on socio-constructivist bases ( Ernest, 1998; Brousseau, 1998 ), a systemic model - green (Morin, 1977) linking together the previous dimensions and the biological background, material and sociocultural (Maturana and Varela, 1984) in which activity takes place of study and mathematical communication.

The set of tools that make up the theoretical models mentioned, and its application to various studies have been published in several papers available on the website of the research group "Theory of Mathematics Education" of the University of Granada: http://www.ugr.es/local/jgodino . A summary of the EOS is presented in Godino, Batanero and Font (2008).

As indicated, the EOS is supported and financed by contributions from various disciplines and technologies involved in human cognition, such as epistemology, psychology, sociology, semiotics, ..., and the efforts and contributions of many researchers that address the issues of dissemination and knowledge development in educational contexts. In this conference - conference, after presenting a brief summary of the origin, objectives and components of the EOS, we aim to address the following issues:

  • How budgets EOS are, or not specific mathematical knowledge?
  • what extent the theoretical tools offered by the EOS can be applied to other subject areas?
  • What commonalities and complementarities between the EOS and other theoretical models used in research in Teaching Special and General Didactics?

What Do Dialysis Technicians Make?

Definitions and relations system in the EOS

below is included the contribution made by James H. Romero C. and Pedro Javier Rojas G. (Universidad Distrital, Bogotá, Colombia) forum, conference-idm-cos, on 21/2/2008.


When a theory is complex, made vague descriptions is necessary, its contextual nature and the ability to build relationships are essential, but since our formation "traditional" discipline like mathematics, we get used to a way of acting from "the" theory of sets, at least in the university context, "with a bivalent logic, which has led to consider as a necessity that any definition that is made is completely" bordeable "-as, given an object, we decide whether or not it meets As required in the definition.

Now, if we are talking about the pragmatic (linked with space and time), it can not be approached from the theory of sets, which required just rid of space and time. Although set theory arises from specific types of practice, was not intended to capture those systems practice. If we review a number of interventions made in the context of this seminar, we may be able to recognize that in some ways, we are attempting to address the complexity of the issues raised
from the EOS using forms or procedures logical and useful language for set theory to study the "classical" (compatible with bivalent logic) perspective, for example, strengthens in us the idea that if a proposition has a truth value, its negation is a truth value otherwise, which means acceptance of the principle of the excluded; principle from other successful mathematical theories can not be assumed, as in category theory, where such failure is a requirement.

When it comes to successful not only in terms of mathematical development but also in what he has to do with their technological applications (in communications, artificial intelligence and computer among others. In particular, we recognize that the use of fuzzy logic in the design of software to do things
with bivalent logic is impossible, as capturing basic archetypes in the scanner as a tool to convert image to text-). It must be remembered that in this community of practice there are many mathematicians who do not accept the principle of the excluded, among them are
authorities at the global and Pearce, Brouwer, Grothendieck and Thom [in Colombia we can cite two well-known mathematicians: Xavier Caicedo Fernando Zalamea and Arnold Oostra].

From what discussed above, we emphasize that, even in mathematics, there are ways different reasoning, they assume different bivalent logic and the theory of the EOS is participating in a more compatible with these different ways (not exactly new) to argue, reason, and do math.

Moreover, turning to one of the documents submitted to the Seminar (Godino, 2003), we emphasize two facts related to our way of "seeing the world '

(1) The intention of" edge "with a definition. If the production of thought and instruments are inseparable, the instrument is thought-it is impossible to separate language and thought (and also sign language). Thus, in the typology proposed mathematical objects, can recognize objects as language, situations and procedures, which are distinguishable, recognizable, characterizable, but not "strongly" separable. Speaking of clear and distinct ideas does not always mean separation, while
is impossible to eliminate certain "close" and / or overlapping. As an example of a recognition of this impossibility, we return the following quote by Godino (p. 15-16):

Sfard rejects the conception proposed by the signs and meanings as independent entities and adopts the view of psychologists like Vygotsky and semiotics as Peirce, that the signs (language in general) has a constitutive role objects of thought and not merely representational. Basically agrees with Wittgenstein postulated that the "meaning of a word is in use in the language, but also has the conviction that from the psychological point of view, the problem of meaning can not be reduced only to the analysis language.
The central thesis Sfard argues in this paper is that "the mathematical discourse and its objects are mutually constitutive discursive activity, including the continued production of symbols, is what creates the need for mathematical objects, and are mathematical objects (or rather the use of symbols mediated by objects) the which, in turn, influence the discourse and brings in new directions "

[From Godino (2003). theoretical frameworks on mathematical cognition, accessed February 14, 2008 at: http://www . ugr.es / ~ jgodino/fundamentos-teoricos/02_MarcosCM.pdf ]

(2) The pragmatic nature of the EOS. Since the proposed Godino, explicitly recognizes this fact, it is precisely from there that discusses the failure As proposed by Wittgenstein (p. 17):

[...] Wittgenstein's philosophy seems insufficient to base her analysis of the processes of mathematical study.
Designing mathematics and grammar the use of symbols and expressions solve the problem of explaining the necessity of the propositions, but not to explain the effectiveness of its application, or the motivation for its adoption. How do you create the rules? Not enough to know to follow the rules, we must understand their motivation, their application, and all knowledge derive new rules useful to organize our worlds.


Pragmatics requires the use of non-bivalent logic, as all human activity is multirelacional, is managed as multiple "planes" of experience of the subject / / society. Bulhões In terms of cognitive, expressive and appealing; from Grize: cognitive, expressive and regulatory, from Habermas is added to those proposed by Grize mandatory-level expression of power. One author, probably best known for the participants of this seminar is Duval, it captures the mathematical discourse this interrelatedness of the different levels present in a discursive experience in mathematics proposing three components of the sense of propositions contained in a speech.

insist, when it comes to human activity requires taking into account that this activity exists and runs at various levels, which interact and are structured in ways that respond temporarily to the structures of the action. Other examples

theories built from a complex environment with different ways of looking at the world, Beam Theory, Topos, Motives (mathematical theory), field theory of Bourdieu (Sociological Theory), ...

Finally, do not pretend here to exhaust rich and fruitful discussion, as it can be assumed, however, will try soon develop and complement some of the ideas briefly exposed. Jaime H.

The thesis investigates a complex issue that involves three important aspects of mathematics and its teaching and learning. The first aspect has to do with what is meant by intuition and rigor in mathematics, the second with the process problem solving, and the third, with the interest that historically has had to study mathematics in situations that need to be optimized. These three aspects work together, with the major theoretical frameworks ontosemiotic Approach of Cognition and Instruction Mathematics (EOS). It makes theoretical contributions to conclude that there are reasons to affirm the existence of an intuition optimizer, based on contemporary cognitive science of mathematics, and proposing a way to fit the intuitive processes in the EOS, using a metaphor vector three components, which are three of the 16 processes considered in the EOS. It also shows how the epistemic configurations allow to consider together the concepts of problem formalization, intuition and rigor. As a practical contribution is a part of a quantitative and qualitative optimization problems in high school textbooks in Peru, and other concrete proposals to include optimization problems in primary and secondary, considered in three broad outlines.

Chapter 1 shows the relevance of the research problem, and makes clear that the fundamental objectives of the thesis are to answer four research questions:

1) Is there a optimizing intuition?, how it "fits" the term intuition in the onto-semiotic approach to mathematics cognition and instruction?, "this approach allows an integrated view of the notions of" intuition, "" rigor, "" problem "and" formalization " ?
2) What is the role of intuition and rigor in solving optimization problems in university students?
3) How are dealt with optimization problems in math textbooks high school in Peru?
4) Is it possible to propose optimization problems in basic education in Peru, so that stimulates intuition, allowing the development optimizing the functions of guessing, anticipating, and conclude and simultaneously pay attention to educating the formalization and rigor as a scientific attitude that complements the intuition?

This chapter also explains the methodology used.
In Chapter 2 the theoretical framework, reviewing the historical and epistemological mathematical optimization. The importance of problem solving in mathematics and teaching mathematics, with reference to historical facts and recent research on this aspect and explicitly what is meant by problem and optimization problem in the thesis, in a didactic perspective. Finally, we present an overview of the EOS.

Chapter 3, after reviewing different ways of conceptualizing the intuition, it answers the three parts of the first research question. It sets out the reasons why it is conjectured the existence of an intuition optimizer (primary type, in the terminology of Fischbein), of a comprehensive and understood as metaphorical projection, in the context of cognitive science of mathematics (Lakoff and Nunez , 2000; Núñez, 2000), that the mathematical structures that people construct stem everyday cognitive processes. Shows the fit of intuition in the EOS vector using a metaphor in understanding the intuition as a vector of three components: idealization, generalization and argumentation. Finally, it explains how the construct epistemic configuration allows you to see, including the concepts of intuition, rigor, problem and conclusion.

Chapters 4, 5 and 6 are answers to questions 2, 3 and 4 respectively. Explains the field work and analysis performed in response to questions 2 and 3 and detailed proposals with which the answer to question 4.
Chapter 7 is devoted to summarizing the conclusions and show some perspectives for further research with reference to the investigation.

The paper concludes with a list of references and the appendices in Chapters 4, 5 and 6.
