im HS A027 über das Thema
Understanding and improving students' mathematical reading
Zusammenfassung: Reading printed mathematics is an important educational activity for students at all levels, but particularly for advanced mathematics students. Here I report a series of studies designed to understand and improve how undergraduate students read mathematical proofs. First, I describe an expert/novice eye-movement study designed to probe the differences in reading behaviour between undergraduates and research mathematicians. Then I report three experiments which investigated how a tailored program of self-explanation training can (a) improve students' reading comprehension outcomes; (b) develop more expert-like reading behaviour (in terms of eye movements) and (c) function effectively in a realistic classroom setting.
Alle Interessierten sind hiermit herzlich eingeladen. Eine halbe Stunde vor dem Vortrag gibt es Kaffee und Tee im Sozialraum (Raum 448) im 4. Stock.
Treffpunkt zum Abendessen um 18.00 Uhr wird noch bekannt gegeben.
