Non-euclidean geometry and its possible role in the secondary school mathematics syllabusFish, Washiela 01 1900 (has links)
There are numerous problems associated with the teaching of Euclidean geometry at
secondary schools today. Students do not see the necessity of proving results which
have been obtained intuitively. They do not comprehend that the validity of a
deduction is independent of the 'truth' of the initial assumptions. They do not realise
that they cannot reason from diagrams, because these may be misleading or inaccurate.
Most importantly, they do not understand that Euclidean geometry is a particular
interpretation of physical space and that there are alternative, equally valid
interpretations. A possible means of addressing the above problems is tbe introduction of nonEuclidean
geometry at school level. It is imperative to identify those students who have
the pre-requisite knowledge and skills. A number of interesting teaching strategies,
such as debates, discussions, investigations, and oral and written presentations, can be
used to introduce and develop the content matter. / Mathematics Education / M. Sc. (Mathematics)

Exploring mathematics learners’ problem-solving skills in circle geometry in South African schools : (a case study of a high school in the Northern Cape Province)Abakah, Fitzgerald 26 May 2021 (has links)
This study examined “problem solving skills in circle geometry concepts in Euclidean Geometry. This study was necessitated by learners’ inability to perform well with regards to Euclidean Geometry in general and Circle Geometry in particular. The use of naturalistic observation case study research (NOCSR) study was employed as the research design for the study. The intervention used for the study was the teaching of circle geometry with Polya problem solving instructional approach coupled with social constructivist instructional approach. A High School in the Northern Cape Province was used for the study. 61 mathematics learners (grade 11) in the school served as participants for the first year of the study, while 45 mathematics learners, also in grade 11, served as participants for the second year of the study. Data was collected for two consecutive years: 2018 and 2019. All learners who served as participants for the study did so willingly without been coerced in any way. Parental consent of all participants were also obtained.
The following data were collected for each year of the research intervention: classroom teaching proceedings’ video recordings, photograph of learners class exercises (CE), field notes and the end-of-the- Intervention Test (EIT). Direct interpretations, categorical aggregation and a problem solving rubric were used for the analysis of data. Performance analysis and solution appraisal were also used to analyse some of the collected data. It emerged from the study that the research intervention evoked learners’ desire and interest to learn circle geometry. Also, the research intervention improved the study participants’ performance and problem solving skills in circle geometry concepts. Hence, it is recommended from this study that there is the need for South African schools to adopt the instructional approach for the intervention: Polya problem solving instructional approach coupled with social constructivist instructional approach, for the teaching and learning of Euclidean geometry concepts. / Mathematics Education / M.
