Language-Enhanced, User-Adaptive, Interactive eLearning for Mathematics
 

LeActiveMath in School

The pedagogical strategies provided by the third generation e-learning system LeActiveMath serve to support the students' autonomy and prepare them to continue learning throughout their lives.

Aim and Scope of Pedagogical Strategies

The overall aim of using pedagogical strategies is to guide students wherever necessary, to support them in structuring learning processes, and to offer learning ways that are as individual and appropriate to each learner as possible.

Why are Pedagogical Strategies necessary?

Students rarely develop explicit strategies on their own. That is why they need to get support in order for them to develop as autonomous and self-directed learners. It is therefore essential that the pedagogical approach be clear and consistent, so that the learner will be helped to see the clarity.

How are Pedagogical Strategies realized in LeActiveMath?

The LeActiveMath e-learning environment provides a pre-structured access to the learning content by giving transparency of the learning goals as well as the learning processes and combines them with examples.

A Competency-Based Approach of Learning

Through the competency-based approach the LeActiveMath e-learning environment refers to the current discussion about educational standards in subject Mathematics. Educational standards in Mathematics are defined through task examples. The span of subject characteristics of task types is attainable from establishing competences. It is the general assumption that different competencies are building up mathematical literacy. One can only become mathematically literate by a sufficient degree of knowledge of the whole set of competencies.

With a comprehensive offer, competency-based examples and exercises can make the LeActiveMath e-learning environment individually strengthen and weaken the student during practice diagnosing and through settlement of particular focuses supported in the learning process understanding.
