Abstract

This paper reports on a mathematics outreach programme, ‘Bridging KS5 to University’, which offered video materials to students aged 16+ during the school closures in spring/summer 2020 in Wales. The 13 videos, provided by the Further Mathematics Support Programme in Wales, ranging from 20 to 50 min long, included activities and exercises addressing mathematical topics outside the school curriculum, and engaging with them can thus be seen as enrichment activities. The study is primarily concerned with the ways in which students engaged with the materials and what motivated them to begin watching them and then continue to watch them. Interviews with students found that the students’ behavioural and emotional engagement with the materials was much as might have been expected, but that their cognitive engagement was perhaps higher than expected. Considerations for developing further similar enrichment programmes for use in times of crisis, including equity issues, as well as for up-cycling the bridging programme for ‘normal’ times are also discussed.

新冠肺炎期间参与数学：16岁以上的学生对丰富视频材料的数学“盒子集”的反应

本文报道了一个数学外展项目“将KS5连接到大学”，该项目在2020年春季/夏季威尔士学校停课期间为16岁以上的学生提供视频材料。这13个视频由威尔士的进一步数学支持计划提供，长度从20到50分钟不等，其中包括针对学校课程之外数学主题的活动和练习，因此参与这些活动可以被视为丰富多彩的活动。这项研究主要关注学生参与材料的方式，以及是什么促使他们开始观看，然后继续观看。对学生的采访发现，学生对材料的行为和情感参与程度与预期相当，但他们的认知参与程度可能高于预期。还讨论了制定进一步类似的浓缩方案以在危机时期使用的考虑因素，包括公平问题，以及在“正常”时期升级过渡方案的考虑因素。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
