الرياضيات العقليه

Posted by Abouz on January 02, 2008 with No comments
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
اود هنا ان اقدم نقد لطريقة عرض مهاره كانت تدرس في الرياضيات بدون ان تكون موجوده بكتاب التلميذ اما اليوم فهي موجوده بكتاب التلميذ ك هذه المهاره هي الرياضيات العقليه. لابدا كلامي اقدم هذا المثال البسيط للرياضيات العقليه
9 + 6 = 10 + 6 - 1 = 10+ 5 = 15
ماحدث هنا اننا بدلا من ان نحسب 9+6 التي تبدو صعبه حسبنا 10 + 6 ثم طرحنا 1 الى هنا والكلام رائع المشكله تكمن في كيفية تدريب التلمبذ على ذلك فالكتاب يطلب من التلميذ ان يكمل عبارات مثل


7+8 =7 + …..-…..=5+ …..= 15
وعند تقييم التلميذ مطلوب منه اكمال مثل هذه العبارات .................... تخيل لقد تحولت الطريقه التي تدرس لزيادة مهارة التلميذ في العمليات الحسابيه الى طريقه للحفظ وادت الى بطء حل العمليات الحسابيه على عكس الهدف المرجو من تدريس الرياضيات العقليه . اعتقد ان الحل هو ان تعقد امتحانات شفويه للرياضيات العقليه تحل باختيار الجواب الصحيح بعد سماع السؤال وان يحدد وقت (15 ثانيه مثلا) لكل فقره. هذا ما اظنه صحيح كما اتمنى حذف هذا الجزء من كتاب التلميذ مع بقائه في دليل المعلم وفي المنهج. ارجو افادتي بارائكم الكريمه

TIMSS Schedule of Events 2008

Posted by Abouz on January 02, 2008 with No comments
TIMSS 2007 is the fourth in a cycle of internationally comparative assessments dedicated to improving teaching and learning in mathematics and science for students around the world. Carried out every four years at the fourth and eighth grades, TIMSS provides data about trends in mathematics and science achievement over time.
To inform educational policy in the participating countries, this world-wide assessment and research project also routinely collects extensive background information that addresses concerns about the quantity, quality, and content of instruction. For example, TIMSS 2007 will continue collecting detailed information about mathematics and science curriculum coverage and implementation, as well as teacher preparation, resource availability, and the use of technology.

TIMSS Schedule of Events 2008
Sampling adjudication January
Fourth Science and Math Item Review Committee Meeting to conduct scale anchoring of achievement data May
Eighth National Research Coordinator Meeting to review draft International Report – text, graphics, and tables June
ISC/IEA conduct international press conference to release International Report; ISC posts TIMSS 2007 International Report and Technical Report on web December
