Creating Learning Prisms with an Interdisciplinary Case Study Workshop

With increasing specialization, most academic disciplines have become highly compartmentalized. Numerous organizations in higher education strongly encourage interdisciplinary collaboration at the faculty and student level. The purposes of this article are (a) to provide a conceptual framework for explaining how and why an interdisciplinary case study method is a catalyst for the development of students and faculty; (b) to document the conception, planning, organizing, and results of an interdisciplinary case study workshop; and (c) to provide recommendations to encouragechange others who might want to apply this model to their own interdisciplinary efforts.All authors are at Towson University Sharon B.

Problems, perseverance, and mathematical residue

This paper reports on a qualitative study in which three third grade students were presented with a mathematical challenge related to the volume of a cuboid. The task required the construction of containers and the enumeration of the multi-link cubes¹ held by each of the containers. The study videotaped and investigated the students working as a group through potentially seven different problem solving categories, and how they dealt with the student-generated mathematical dilemmas that surfaced during their exploration of the original problem. The tapes were examined for the problem solving actions that the students demonstrated, and an analysis of the students' counting strategies and solutions explored the connection between the children's spatial structuring and their use of numerical operations in enumerating 3-D rectangular arrays of cubes. The notions of perseverance and control are considered as they emerge during autonomous problem solving and the mathematical residue that results from the developing understanding of volume is discussed.This revised version was published online in October 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.

解决数学问题的心理过程分析

解决数学问题的心理过程包括4个阶段:(1)意识到问题的存在,这是解决问题的先决条件;(2)表征问题是问题解决的中心环节,表征问题有两种方式:内部表征和外部表征;(3)确定解决问题的策略并尝试某种问题解决的方法,解决问题的策略与方法决定着问题解决的方向与成败;(4)评价与反思,这可以使我们更好地理解某一方法的实用性.
