移动学习促进数学素养的机遇与挑战

Opportunities and challenges of mobile learning for promoting mathematical literacy

Zaenal Abidin, Anuradha Mathrani, David Parsons, Suriadi Suriadi

摘要:

数学素养在支持个人在现代社会中履行其职业角色方面发挥着重要作用。移动技术的可供性以及移动学习新理论的出现有可能促进数学素养。然而,在印度尼西亚社会中实施移动学习面临着与基于社区的教育环境中的道德和学习问题有关的挑战。本研究旨在调查教师在整合数学学科内容与移动技术,特别是在促进数学素养的准备。本研究采用问卷调查和半结构式访谈相结合的方法,对教师的数学素养知识进行了探索性研究,并发现了移动学习在教学中的机遇和挑战。调查结果表明,教师大多不了解数学素养,这表明数学素养的概念需要推广。此外,大部分学校禁止在教室内使用移动设备,因为他们担心不适当地使用移动设备可能会损害学生的心理健康并分散他们的学习注意力。研究发现,这是教师不愿使用移动学习的最常见原因。

英文摘要:

Mathematical literacy plays an important role in supporting individuals to fulfil their professional roles in modern society. The affordances of mobile technologies as well as the emergence of new theories in mobile learning have the potential to promote mathematical literacy. However, implementation of mobile learning in Indonesian society faces challenges related to perceived ethical and learning issues in curriculum-based educational settings. This study aims to investigate the preparedness of teachers in integrating mathematics subject content with mobile technologies, especially in promoting mathematical literacy. An exploratory study has been conducted using mixed methods by performing questionnaire survey and semi-structured interviews to understand teacher's knowledge towards mathematical literacy and identifying opportunities and challenges of mobile learning within instruction. Findings indicate that teachers mostly do not know about mathematical literacy, indicating that the concept of mathematical literacy needs to be promoted. Further, most schools prohibit the use of mobile devices in classrooms as they are wary of inappropriate use of mobile devices which may harm students' mental health and distract them from learning. Study finds this to be the most common cause for teachers' reluctance in using mobile learning.
