Factors Which Increase The Quality Of Learning Mathematics In Primary School

Table 2:

Criteria Teaching strategies
Traditional Modern
The role of the pupil The pupil follows the lecture, the exposure and the explanations of the teacher. The pupil expresses points of view of their own
The pupil attempts to retain and to reproduce the ideas heard from teacher. The pupil makes an exchange of ideas with others and with the teacher.
The pupil accepts passively the ideas submitted. The pupil argues and he addresses questions in order to understand what he learn.
The pupil works in isolation. The pupil cooperate in solving the problems and tasks
The role of the teacher The teacher exposes the lectures. The teacher facilitates and mediates learning
The teacher imposes his points of view. The teacher helps the pupils to understand what they learn and, also, to explain the points of view of their own
The teacher manifests authoritarian. The teacher is a partner in learning.
The mode of achievement of the learning outcomes Learning takes place predominantly through memorization and reproduction of knowledge, by just calling the classic and validated examples. Learning takes place predominantly through skills training and skills basically.
Learning leads to competition between pupils with the aim of ranking. Learning is achieved through cooperation.
Assessment Aimed only at measuring and assessing the knowledge of the pupil (what the pupil knows) Aimed at measuring and assessing pupil’s competences (what can make the pupil)
Put the emphasis on the quantitative aspect (how much information know the pupil) Put emphasis on the elements of qualitative (values and attitudes)
Aimed at the classification of pupil. Aim the progress in learning of each pupil.
