Computer-Aided Learning Sample Clauses

Computer-Aided Learning. ‌ Accurate calculation has always been an important aspect of mathematical activity, leading to the development of machines that compute quickly and reliably by Xxxxxx in the seventeenth century, Xxxxxxx in the nineteenth century and Turing and his successors in the twentieth century. As affordable computing power has become increasingly available, the range of ways in which calculations can be performed and the outcomes presented has enabled exploration of multiple possibilities that could not be realised practically due to prohibitive expense and/or the amount of time involved. It is hard to imagine a context in modern society where computers would not be used to collect and analyse data, to model complex systems (such as the weather or disease), and to explore possible outcomes when solving problems. Recognising the strengths and limitations of technological tools is essential to making effective use of them. Users need to be able to decide whether or not to use technology and select the most appropriate technological tool. With the rise of mobile devices students can work on tasks and problems wherever they may be. The nature of the technological tools makes a significance difference to the quality of learning (Xxxxxx, 2009). In 1980 Papert set out a vision for how computers might transform the way in which mathematics is learnt. Logo was a computer language that allowed children to ask their own questions, teach the computer, and learn from feedback. Almost 20 years ago Becta (1993) declared that technology allows learners to explore mathematics in a way that enables them to: • Learn from feedback: The computer provides fast and reliable feedback that is non- judgemental and impartial. This can encourage students to make their own conjectures and to test out and modify their ideas. • Observe patterns: The speed of computers and calculators enables students to produce many examples when exploring mathematical problems. This supports their observation of patterns and the making and justifying of generalisations. • See connections: The computer enables formulae, tables of numbers and graphs to be linked readily. Changing one representation and seeing changes in the others helps students to understand the connections between them. • Work with dynamic images: Students can use computers to manipulate diagrams dynamically. This encourages them to visualise the geometry as they generate their own mental images. • Explore data: Computers enable students to wor...
