Opportunities to Learn in the Budapest Mathematics Classroom

This paper examines the nature of the problems posed, the processes by which their solutions were made public, their structural contribution to a lesson and the opportunities they offered for the learning of mathematics in Budapest, Hungary. The problems were derived from observations, the processes of which were informed by various comparative studies, of 94 mathematics lessons in the 10–14 age range. Problems, the analysis and categorisation of which were informed by the literature, tended to fall into two categories – single response with high levels of cognitive demand and multiple response with high levels of cognitive demand. Structurally lessons fell into a well practised pattern of classroom behaviour. They began with a public review of homework, comprising two or three multiple response problems which were solved collaboratively. This was followed by a warm-up period involving the oral setting and mental solving of a few single response problems. Lastly, the main body of the lesson involved several cycles in which a multiple response problem was posed, attempted individually before solutions were shared publicly. Lessons ended with homework being set. The discussion of the findings is framed by Hungary's variable performance on recent international tests of mathematical attainment.     

课堂重构:从“知识课堂”到“生命课堂”

从课堂的模式来看,传统的课堂模式是一种“知识课堂”,它是知识为本或知识至上的课堂;新课程倡导的课堂模式是一种“生命课堂”,它是以人的发展为本的课堂。新课程的实施最终要在课堂教学中落实,因此,对于广大中小学教师而言,认识和分析两种课堂的特点,完成从“知识课堂”向“生命课堂”的转变,无疑有着十分重要的现实意义。

Reflecrions on Web-based language teaching

Web-based education has been enjoying greater popularity because of its undeniable advantages. It has been seen as a panacea by more and more people in educational field, including language teaching. Based on the realization of the great potential brought by the development of technology, some viewpoints about the relationship among technology, teaching and pedagogy are put forward: firstly, technology is a tool, not a strategy; secondly, pedagogical concerns and theory should drive the way technology is used in education, not the other way around; thirdly, what matters more than technology is how the technology is used for learning, and how it is integrated into the daily classroom scheme so that active engagement in acquisition-oriented work take place; and finally, the change of learning environment inevitably calls for parallel changes in teaching and learning procedures. Available technologies can greatly enhance both student-teacher and student-student interaction and can afford students increased opportunities for self directed learning. To be most effective, technology must be used to support well-planned curricular goals and should involve carefully designed activities providing students with meaningful educational experiences.
