The Design And Development Of Inquiry-oriented Learning Activities About Primary Mathematics

Since 2001,the new Curriculum Reform has started.Along with it,there appeared many of new curriculum.Our province's teachers experienced the confusion when they faced with the new curriculum.Although,with the continuous exploration and research,our teachers gain the benefits,regardless on educational philosophy,or on teaching methods,and they have had a new understanding about teaching.Especially in the respect of exploratory activities about primary mathematics,we also carried out lots of exploration and practice.In the process of exploration and practice,our front-line teachers have encountered many problems.We are afraid that the teaching task will be delayed because that we give the student the space to explore;We are afraid that the students will ignore the knowledge when they carry out the self-exploration which will affect the students to access knowledge fully. As the same time, how the teachers to explain if we let students study by themselves. Although we must face these challenges,we are still actively carrying out an independent inquiry activities.We put desks into a horseshoe-shaped,T-shaped,round-table-shaped;We have bringed the students out of the classroom, to extra-curricular,and so on .In fact , the inquiry learning in foreign countries, especially in some developed countries it has been a conventional way of learning for a long time. In our country , it will also be accepted as a new training type widely where Reflects the ideas and demands of quality education. Mathematics as a basis for the primary school curriculum disciplines, play an important role in the implement of the inquiry-oriented learning activities。The author believe that the inquiry learning in Primary Mathematics will have a very broad application,such as how to properly use the the inquiry-oriented learning activities in the classroom。How do we create a good atmosphere for students about inquiry-oriented learning activities and how to enhance students awareness of self-inquiry, and so on . To avoid students can not accept the now method , the speed that promote research-based learning methods can not be too fast . Before carry it on all schools, we can find some schools for experiment to find the appropriate methodology and experience, then carry it on other schools.We can also take active measures to get the support of parents and co-ordination, and we can form a consensus about the education where can reduce conflicts。The author believe that by implementing such a series of effective measures , the inquiry-based learning in Primary Mathematics will become recognized increasingly,and it will be executived in the national soon.。...
