摘要

数学语言(或数学内容专用词)多次被证明与学前和小学低年级的数学能力有关。这方面的研究主要集中在幼儿的定量和空间语言上。与此同时,最近的研究发现,小学低年级儿童已经具备了高级数学能力,如推理模式、比例和概率等。在本研究中,我们开发了一项高级数学语言任务,专门针对一、二、三年级学生(5-8 岁),测量他们对模式、比例和概率等领域的数学语言的理解。为了开发有效的测试工具,我们对相关文献和以前进行的研究进行了回顾,并对任务进行了论证。此外,我们还根据专家的反馈意见和对 36 名儿童进行的试点研究,对任务进行了优化。在对 236 名一年级、二年级和三年级学生进行高级数学语言任务测试后,结果表明该任务可为这些年级的学生提供可靠的分数。其内部一致性非常好(α = .993)。此外,还对 49 名儿童进行了重测信度检验(r = .704; p <.001),结果表明,随着时间的推移,测试结果也很稳定。

Towards an advanced mathematical language task for the early primary school years: preliminary results on reliability and validity

Towards an advanced mathematical language task for the early primary school years: preliminary results on reliability and validity

Mathematical language (or the content-specific words in mathematics) has repeatedly shown to be related to mathematical abilities in preschool and in the early grades of primary education. Research in this field has predominantly focused on young children’s quantitative and spatial language. At the same time, recent research has discovered that children in the early years of primary education already possess advanced mathematical skills such as reasoning about patterns, proportions and probabilities. In this study we developed an advanced mathematical language task to measure children’s understanding of mathematical language proper of the domains of patterning, proportionality, and probability, specifically aimed at first, second, and third graders (ages 5 -8). To develop a valid test instrument, our task was substantiated by a review of relevant literature and previously conducted studies. Further, the task was optimized based on the feedback received from expert professionals and a pilot study with 36 children. After administering the advanced mathematical language task to 236 first, second, and third graders, the results suggest that the task provides reliable scores in these grades. The internal consistency is excellent (α = .993). In addition, the test–retest reliability was checked in 49 children (r = .704; p < .001), and shows that the test also produces stable results over time.

期刊介绍: Educational Studies in Mathematics presents new ideas and developments of major importance to those working in the field of mathematics education. It seeks to reflect both the variety of research concerns within this field and the range of methods used to study them. It deals with methodological, pedagogical/didactical, political and socio-cultural aspects of teaching and learning of mathematics, rather than with specific programmes for teaching mathematics. Within this range, Educational Studies in Mathematics is open to all research approaches. The emphasis is on high-level articles which are of more than local or national interest.? All contributions to this journal are peer reviewed.
