Study on developing an intuitive capability of mathematical insight by using clickers

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to clarify the effect of lesson studies with clickers on an intuitive capability of mathematical insight, which is necessary for improvement of practical capability in math lesson. We conducted lesson studies with clickers in classes of the university. As a result of analysis and consideration about responses of clickers in observations of lessons and protocols of discussions in debriefing sessions, we found the change of students’ intuitive capability of mathematical insight by specifying scenes, which were pierced based on a view of knowledge to mathematics and that of math learning and math lesson, and discussing these scenes. We also identified three steps on an intuitive capability of mathematical insight.
