What types of insight do expert students gain during work with ill-structured problems in mathematics?
In our study, we explored how two high-performing mathematics students gained insight while working on ill-structured problems. We followed their problem-solving process through task-based interviews and observed a similar sequence of insights in both participants’ work- (1) Spontaneous insight, (2) Passive gradual insight, (3) Sudden insight, and (4) Active gradual insight. An impasse occurred in the intersection between the second and third insight and seemed to accelerate the progression toward solution. During this insight sequence, we observed emotional transitions that appeared to impact the process in a useful manner, especially due to the participant’s interpretation of uncertainty related to the impasse as a challenge and an inspiration. Future research is needed to study the observed sequence of insights and related affects in a larger data set and in a broader spectrum of problem solvers.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Mathematical Behavior solicits original research on the learning and teaching of mathematics. We are interested especially in basic research, research that aims to clarify, in detail and depth, how mathematical ideas develop in learners. Over three decades, our experience confirms a founding premise of this journal: that mathematical thinking, hence mathematics learning as a social enterprise, is special. It is special because mathematics is special, both logically and psychologically. Logically, through the way that mathematical ideas and methods have been built, refined and organized for centuries across a range of cultures; and psychologically, through the variety of ways people today, in many walks of life, make sense of mathematics, develop it, make it their own.
