聚焦儿童早期数学模式能力的发展——国际儿童模式能力评估与干预研究述评

Focus on Learning about Patterns in Early Childhood——The Review of International Early Mathematical Patterning Assessment and Intervention

模式(Pattern)能力是儿童早期数学能力的重要组成部分,对儿童数学思维和代数能力的发展具有重要作用。已有研究表明儿童早期模式能力的发展对其日后的数学学习具有重要影响,要深入研究儿童早期模式能力发展和认知机制及其与其它相关认知能力之间的关系,这些都有赖于科学化和系统化的模式评估工具。本文梳理和分析了美国和澳大利亚的5种模式评估工具及其相关的干预研究,在此基础上为编制适宜我国儿童的模式评估工具提供有效依据,以期在模式评估工具的目的、任务设置、表征形式及信效度等方面提出借鉴。

Pattern ability is an important part of children’s early mathematical learning and plays an important role in the development of children’s mathematical thinking and algebraic ability. Previous studies have shown that the development of children’s early pattern ability has a vital impact on their later mathematical learning. To further study the development of children’s early pattern ability and its cognitive mechanism and the relationship with other related cognitive abilities, It is indispensable to have further studies on children’s pattern development and cognitive mechanism, which depends on the scientific and systematic assessment tasks. This review introduces 5 assessments of early mathematical pattern learning and some interventions in America and Australia, which try to provide reflection and reference for early mathematical patterning assessment in China.
