課程內容:

主題一:幾何思考的發展

教學說明:認識幾何思考、能力發展的兩大理論基礎:van Hiele 與Piaget 幾何發展的理論。從認
識這兩大理論,瞭解國中小學生的幾何發展的階層以及學習的可能面臨的問題。

說明van Hiele 理論裡幾何發展的五個階層 (Burger & Shaughnessy, 1986; Clements,
Battista, & Sarama, 2001; Fuys, Geddes, & Tischler, 1988)。
摘要論述Piaget兒童的幾何概念與空間概念兩本書中,與國中學生幾何課程發展相關的重點。
(Piaget & Inhelder, 1967; Piaget, Inhelder, & Szeminska, 1960)。

主題二:視覺推理

教學說明:幾何學習除了需要一般的邏輯推理之外,視覺推理能力也是成功幾何學習的重要能力之
一。幾何的視覺推理與幾何圖形息息相關。而視覺推理的目的則是幫助學生找到有用的幾何性質,進
而使用這些幾何性質進行解題活動。

視覺推理和幾何推理的關係 (Duval, 1995, 1998)
學生的視覺推理與圖形中隱含的幾何性質的關係為何 (Blerk, Christiansen, & Anderson,
2008)
視覺推理如何造成幾何論證學習的障礙 (Aleven, Koedinger, Sinclair, & Snyder, 1998)
學生幾何圖形的辨識與幾何性質及定義的關係研究(Fischbein & Nachlieli, 1998)
學生的在特殊幾何圖形上的推理表現 (Küchemann & Hoyles, 2006)

主題三:幾何推理

教學說明:什麼叫做幾何推理?幾何推理與幾何論證學習的關係為何?從Duval研究開始瞭解幾何推
理的定義。然後進一步探討如何增進學生的推理能力。

幾何推理的定義與幾何論證學習的關係 (Duval, 1998)
另一種的推理 transformational reasoning (Simon, 1996)
如何增進學生的幾何推理能力 (Mistretta, 2000)
臆測與其涵蓋的幾何推理 (Canadas, Deulofeu, Figueiras, Reid, & Yevdokimov, 2007;
Lee & Sriraman, 2011)

主題四:論證的有效性研究

教學說明:論證的有效性(validity)是成功幾何學習的關鍵之一。從目前的文獻看來,學生對於論
證的有效性瞭解相當的不足。如何幫助學生瞭解論證的有效性,進一步提升學生的幾何論證學習是本
主題探討的重點。

台灣學生論證對有效性理解的研究報告 (Yu, 2001; Yu, Chin, & Lin, 2004)
英國高成就學生對論證有效性理解的研究報告 (Hoyles & Küchemann, 2002)
大學生辨識論證與數學理論之間的有效關係(Selden & Selden, 2003)
大學生如何validate證明的結果(Alcock & Weber, 2005)

主題五:探討國中、小幾何推論與論證的銜接與學習困難

教學說明:不同國家對幾何推論與論證持有不同的觀點。不同國家的論證課程之下,學生產生的迷思
概念與學習困難也不盡相同。

歐洲實行論證課程教學的觀點 (Mariotti, 2006)
台灣與德國學生論證表現 (Heinze, Cheng, & Yang, 2004)
台灣與英國學生論證表現 (Hoyles & Kuchemann, 2002)
歐洲實行論證課程教學的觀點 (Mariotti, 2006)
英國學生論證表現 (Hoyles & Kuchemann, 2002)

教學型式:
重視理論與實務的結合。由文獻探討與實例學生學習與教學分析來建構學生該科的專業知識。並能由
實務分析中,轉化理論知識到實際教學層面。

教學評量方式:
教學評量主要有三面向:(1)出席率(30%)。(2)表現評量(30%):包括期末報告(20%)、課
堂簡短報告(10%).(3)上課參與(50%):包括上課參與討論、出缺席、及課前閱讀準備等
