Title: | An Investigation Into Teaching Practices that Integrate ICT to Promote Student Understanding of Geometry in a Bilingual Japanese Elementary School | Contributor(s): | Stumbles, Robert (author); Serow, Penelope (supervisor) ; Taylor, Neil (supervisor) | Conferred Date: | 2018-04-08 | Copyright Date: | 2017 | Open Access: | Yes | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/28732 | Abstract: | This study investigated factors that contribute to student understanding of Geometry in a bilingual elementary school in Japan. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of using Dynamic Geometry Software (DGS) on student understanding of geometry and student motivation for learning geometry in a bilingual context. Furthermore, the study aimed to investigate the manner in which a teaching approach based on the van Hiele teaching phases assists the equitable integration of subject-content and language-content in a bilingual context. The design involved a mixed-methods research approach, incorporating qualitative and quantitative procedures. The investigation focused on the manner in which geometrical class inclusion concepts develop, in particular, relationships among figures and their properties. Empirical evidence is provided to describe the developmental pathway for student understanding of geometry in a bilingual context. This evidence has theoretical as well as practical implications for teaching and learning. | Publication Type: | Thesis Doctoral | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 130306 Educational Technology and Computing 130208 Mathematics and Numeracy Curriculum and Pedagogy 130105 Primary Education (excl Maori) |
