Reformulation of Geometric Validations Created by Students, Revealed When Using the ACODESA Methodology
Rubilar, Álvaro Sebastián Bustos; Badillo, Gonzalo Zubieta
North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (39th, Indianapolis, IN, Oct 5-8, 2017)
In this article, we report how a geometric task based on the ACODESA methodology (collaborative learning, scientific debate and self-reflection) promotes the reformulation of the students' validations and allows revealing the students' aims in each of the stages of the methodology. To do so, we present the case of a team and, particularly, one of its members who expresses the intention of reformulating validations for a mathematical conjecture besides showing evolution in the form of justifying.
