Ocena mnenja študentov o reševanju besedilnih nalog: primer reverzibilnega razmišljanja pri študentih
Povzetek
Čeprav je reverzibilno razmišljanje pomembna strategija pri reševanju matematičnih besedilnih nalog, je le malo dozdajšnjih študij preučevalo povezavo med reverzibilnim razmišljanjem in reševanjem besedilnih nalog. Namen te študije je zato preučiti miselne procese študentov pri prevajanju izjav v besedilnih nalogah z vključevanjem reverzibilnega razmišljanja. Uporabljen je bil kvalitativni pristop, v katerega je bilo vključenih 71 študentov, ki prihajajo z različnih ozadij, pripadajo različnim spolom in izobraževalnim ustanovam ter jih odlikujejo različne ravni dosežkov. Zasnovali smo nalogo, namenjeno spodbujanju reverzibilnega razmišljanja, in oblikovali podporna spodbujevalna vprašanja. Podatki so bili zbrani prek obrazcev Google, protokolov razmišljanja na glas in intervjujev. Za pridobitev poglobljenih vpogledov je bilo intervjuvanih dvanajst študentov, ki so pokazali znake reverzibilnega razmišljanja. Zbrani podatki so bili analizirani z uporabo pristopa študije primera, ki je obsegal tri faze: predhodno analizo, odprto kodiranje in aksialno kodiranje. Opredelili smo šest raziskovalnih tem, povezanih z miselnimi dejavnostmi študentov pri obratu časovnega zaporedja, obratu spreminjanja razmerja, obratu vidika ostanka, obratu vloge spremenljivk, obratu matematičnih operacij ter obratu odnosa med deležem in časom. Ugotovitve poudarjajo pomen oblikovanja učnih izkušenj, ki spodbujajo miselno prožnost, konceptualno razumevanje in metakognicijo kot okvire za spodbujanje reverzibilnega razmišljanja.
