The topic of this lecture is “Mathematical Teaching Research on Making a Mountain out of a Molehill.” The phrase “making a mountain out of a molehill” usually means treating trivial matters as if they were major ones—an exaggerated or negative expression. However, in the context of mathematics teaching research, it takes on a positive meaning: handling small details with great care and depth.
This lecture will use competency-directed conjecturing teaching research as an example to illustrate how, over the decades, I have invested mathematics classroom research through this spirit of “making a mountain out of a molehill.” Competency-directed mathematics teaching aims to enhance students’ competencies. Given the short 50-minute timeframe of this lecture, the focus will be limited to mathematical creativity as one of the key competencies.
I will share how Taiwan’s research on this kind of “making a mountain out of a molehill” approach in mathematics teaching has been disseminated to two universities in California, USA. This includes the design and its implementation of the tasks in regular Taiwanese mathematics classrooms, the measurement of creativity, and the analysis of students’ mathematical creativity performing in classroom settings.
此次演講主題訂為「小題大作的數學教學研究」小題大作釋義為將小事當成大事來處理是故意誇張渲染被視為負面的用語然而，在數學教學研究要小題大作是要細緻處理，視為正面的用語。此次演講將以素養導向的數學臆測教學研究為案例來說明我數十年來的數學教學課堂如何以小題大作來進行研究，素養導向的數學教學意旨以培養學生的素養為目標的數學臆測教學短短的50分鐘演講論及的素養僅能限縮在數學創造力。我將分享如何將國內的小題大作的數學教學研究推廣傳播到美國加州兩所大學有關台灣的常規數學課堂中的臆測任務設計到教學實踐、與創造力評量工具發展、課堂學生數學創造力的資料分析與表現。
