Controversies about Math & Learning (Raffaella Borasi)

It was a great discussion and interaction with all of us on September, 7 in the class. I would like to discuss the first TWO statements

“it is not good trying to reason things out your own”

“Second statement – staying too much on the problem is a waste of time”

I strongly agree with this statement. If we learned anything very promptly than we can correct the problems successfully and manage the life. As a teacher, it is very important to learn and understand correctly in the right manner. So,  that we could deliver the right information to our students. If we could not learn quickly we could not able to solve the problems in a timely manner and if we skip the problems than we could not able to manage the time and it's going to be more problems collected at the end.

Pay attention is directly proportional to more problem-solving. Therefore, more pay attention in the classroom increases able to solve more problems. For example, if students do not listen to the teacher properly it is going to be more problem or contradictions, a dilemma to the students, however, it is better to pay attention and discusses with the teachers and peers instead of thinking and figuring out the problems alone.

 If the students have problems related to science and math or any other problems, thinking alone cannot help out him/her self. It is better to find the exact solution of the problems and discusses with specialized persons like teacher/doctor etc.  The doctor has a correct solution to the specific disease. Similarly for example if the student has problem-related to bullying than the only teacher can help in the classroom. Like for example in math, there is a specific formula to solve the equations. In the real life, there is a specific person to talk or discuss regarding the problems, Therefore, discusses the problems with specialized persons always help. However, staying too much time on one problem is completely waste of time.
