Balancing the Unbalanceable: A Theoretical Perspective for Teaching and Learning in Undergraduate Mathematics Classrooms
Page: 906
I propose a theoretical model for teaching, learning, and assessing mathematics learning in the undergraduate mathematics classroom combining participatory and acquisition views of learning. The model, Balanced Learning Needs Framework, was created from an organization of the 10 learning needs proposed by Sfard in 2003. I align the model with different forms of classroom instructional techniques used in an undergraduate Calculus I classroom. Included with the organization of the learning needs, this conceptualization has the potential to impact both teaching and assessment methods in undergraduate mathematics classrooms.
