A study on proportion problem-posing with grade six elementary school childrenChungyung, Jing-jan 24 June 2007 (has links)
The researcher used self-constructed problem-solving and problem-posing activity sheets to ask students to do solving and posing by themselves, then discuss together afterwards. When teaching was completed each time, the researcher asked students to write learning diaries.
The researcher referred to the students¡¦ records on problem-solving and on problem-posing and analyzed the categories of students¡¦ work and the contents of posing problems that students created as well as problem-solving strategies. He also referred to students¡¦ learning diaries to investigate into students¡¦ reflections on their problem-posing, and to make a record of self reflections during his problem-posing activities implementation.
The results of this research showed that most of the students given problems included sufficient data for problem solving. Students virtually were able to make feasible problems but only few students can change the structures of the original given problems. Most of these problems are ¡¥Exchange problem¡¦ which be solved correctly by themselves. Most students solved problems by using the strategy relating to Multiples. The most important factor for accuracy and solving strategy is number type on the proportion problems. Moreover, students expressed that they were able to acquire study methods and have great enjoyment from problem-posing. Also, the teacher found that during problem-posing, students will advance in thinking and creativity.

Investigating the integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in Grade 6 English Home Language Literacy: A Case Study of one Primary School in the Western CapeChabinga, Kelvin January 2015 (has links)
Magister Educationis - MEd / Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), through the use of iPads in English Home Language in the Intermediate Phase, with a special focus on Grade six, at one primary school in the Western Cape. Through the lens of the Sociocultural and Constructivist theories, the study investigated how iPads were used for language and literacy development in the Grade six classroom where English was the main medium of instruction. The study was purely a qualitative single case study involving one teacher and one class of 28 learners at a well-resourced former-white school in Cape Town.
Data was collected through classroom observations and interviews. The interviews were conducted with six selected learners, one Grade six teacher, the Head of Department (HOD) and the Principal. The analysis of the transcribed interviews, video recordings and documents was done through the Atlast.Ti 7 software package.
The findings of the study show that Grade six learners had good access to ICTs, and had no difficulties in using iPads for language and literacy learning. Their competence was associated with their high socio-economic backgrounds as most of them were from middle class families. The findings also indicated that teacher disposition had a positive impact on ICT implementation in the English lessons. Another interesting finding was that while the school had successfully adopted ICT as a teaching and learning resource, the Grade six teacher’s pedagogical strategies did not enhance learners’ comprehension of certain language (English) aspects such as grammar because there was no special training for integrating ICTs in language teaching. Overall, the results showed that the iPad is an extremely potential tool for literacy development and it encourages not only learners’ active engagement and collaboration as directed by the teacher, but also learner initiated engagement and collaboration. The study concludes that while many well-resourced schools seem to do well with regard to access to ICT and its integration in teaching and learning, technology cannot completely replace the role of the teacher in the classroom. There is a need for teacher development to enhance their own understanding of ICTs and how to use it for effective language and literacy teaching and learning.
