Arithmetic Teaching

O presente artigo tem como foco o primeiro volume da série The Alexander-Dewey arithmetic, voltado ao ensino primário. Tal série teve Georgia Alexander como autora, John Dewey como editor e foi publicada nos anos 1920 nos EUA. O objetivo foi explorar a tradução do pensamento de Dewey no ensino de aritmética no primário no interior do primeiro volume da referida série. Buscou-se estabelecer diálogo com outras obras de Dewey, principalmente os livros How we think (1910) e The school and society (1899), para tanto mobilizando a noção de apropriação e problematizando questões relacionadas à produção escrita e ao processo editorial, com base em autores como Roger Chartier e Peter Burke. Dentre as constatações, percebe-se que o livro de aritmética analisado estrutura a apresentação dos conteúdos e o desenvolvimento das atividades privilegiando a introdução social. Ainda incentiva o aluno enquanto sujeito de sua aprendizagem. Outros elementos fortemente presentes são o recurso à indução e a situações concretas. Tais características podem ser associadas ao pensamento de Dewey, tendo como elemento reforçador o fato que ele foi editor da série.Palavras-chave: John Dewey. Educação Progressiva. The Alexander-Dewey Arithmetic. Introdução Social.AbstractThe focus of the following article is the first volume of the series The Alexander-Dewey arithmetic, designed to primary school. The series was published in the 1920s in the USA, Georgia Alexander was the author and John Dewey was the editor. The aim of the article is to explore the translation of Dewey’s thought in the arithmetic teaching in primary school according to the first volume of the aforesaid series. In order to establish a dialogue with other Dewey’s works, the main references were the books How we think (1910) and The school and society (1899). The analysis was developed based in the notion of appropriation and inquiring about aspects of writing production and publishing process, relying in such authors as Roger Chartier and Peter Burke. It is possible to say that the analysed arithmetic textbook organizes the insertion of the subjects and the development of activities focusing the social introduction. It also stimulates the pupils to be active in the learning process. Some other elements that stand out are induction based introductions and concrete examples. Such characteristics can be traced to Dewey’s thought, which can be reinforced by the fact he was the editor of the series.Keywords: John Dewey. Progressive Education. The Alexander-Dewey Arithmetic.

At the end of the XIX century, movements that propose the reform of the primary school in the United States are started. The aim of this paper is to find out what changes proposed to the American teaching of mathematics are, specifically about the teaching of algebra and the knowledge related to it, while seeking indications of the circulation of those ideas in Brazil. To perform an historiographic research, which aims to the writing of a historic narrative, we use the theoretical contributions of the Cultural History based on Burke and Chartier and the studies about the circulation and appropriation of ideas by Oliveira and Warde. As sources of the research are the reports of those movements, textbooks on algebra and arithmetic teaching, notes from a conference given by Othello S. Reis about the insertion of algebra in the primary school, and other documents. It was found that a Committee of fifteen was created to propose changes in the U.S. primary school because of a previous study, done by the Committee of ten. One of the proposals of both committees can be highlighted: the teaching of algebra topics in the two last years of the primary school. The ideas of the committee about algebra were brought to Brazil, in an explicit way, in one conference presented by Othello S. Reis, and it was revealed that those ideas had already been presented in Antonio Trajano’s textbooks, in editions that preceded the committee’s study.

Development And Validation

Abstract. We describe the development and validation of an instrument for measuring the affective component of primary school teachers’ attitudes towards self-regulated learning. The questionnaire assesses the affective component towards those cognitive and metacognitive strategies that are especially effective in primary school. In a first study (n = 230), the factor structure was verified via an exploratory factor analysis. A confirmatory factor analysis with data from a second study (n = 400) indicated that the theoretical factor structure is appropriate. A comparison with four alternative models identified the theoretically derived factor structure as the most appropriate. Concurrent validity was demonstrated by correlations with a scale that measures the degree to which teachers create learning environments that enable students to self-regulate their learning. Retrospective validity was demonstrated by correlations with a scale that measures teachers’ experiences with self-regulated learning. In a third study (n = 47), the scale’s concurrent validity was tested with scales measuring teachers’ evaluation of the desirability of different aspects of self-regulated learning in class. Additionally, predictive validity was demonstrated via a binary logistic regression, with teachers attitudes as predictor on their registration for a workshop on self-regulated learning and their willingness to implement a seven-week training program on self-regulated learning.

Primary School Age

The present study examined age differences in time-based prospective memory (TBPM) in primary school age children and tested the role of self-initiated memory retrieval and strategic time monitoring (TM) as possible developmental mechanisms. Fifty-four children were recruited from local primary schools (27 younger children, mean age = 7.2 ± 0.55 years, and 27 older children, mean age = 9.61 ± 0.71 years). The task was a driving game scenario in which children had to drive a vehicle (ongoing task) and to remember to refuel before the vehicle runs out of gas (TBPM task, i.e., the fuel gauge served as child-appropriate time equivalent). Fuel gauge was either displayed permanently (low level of self-initiation) or could only be viewed on demand by hitting a button (high level of self-initiation). The results revealed age-dependent TBPM differences with better performance in older children. In contrast, level of self-initiated memory retrieval did not affect TBPM performance. However, strategies of TM influenced TBPM, as more frequent time checking was related to better performance. Patterns of time checking frequency differed according to children’s age and course of the game, suggesting difficulties in maintaining initial strategic TM in younger children. Taken together, the study revealed ongoing development of TBPM across primary school age. Observed age differences seemed to be associated with the ability to maintain strategic monitoring.
