Background: Early childhood education (ECE) has recently been introduced in Zambian government schools, leading to a need to examine the quality of mathematics lessons. Aim: This study focussed on guided play lessons on shapes in pre-mathematics classes and examined how they could be implemented and what children could learn in the class. Setting: The lessons were conducted in two early childhood mathematics classes in two different schools in Zambia. Methods: A qualitative design-based research method was applied. For data collection, teachers implemented a trial lesson in one school and a main lesson in another school in Lusaka, the capital of Zambia. Results: In the first lesson, the activity differed from what was planned and discussed. In the second lesson, the content and objective of the guided play were changed from those of the trial lesson. In the main lesson, children engaged in a more basic activity involving shapes and created many kinds of shapes that they were familiar with in and out of school. This was particularly effective for children in terms of explicitly learning the basic features of the shapes and important mathematical ideas such as congruency, similarity and symmetry. Conclusion: The main lesson was successful because the level of mathematical content was more appropriate for the children and allowed them to enjoy the activity. Two points regarding developing more effective lessons for ECE, to identify pupils’ readiness and sociocultural status, were also assessed and discussed.

建议和修改针对赞比亚学龄前儿童的数学教学中的形状引导游戏

背景:赞比亚的官立学校最近引入了幼儿教育(ECE),因此需要检查数学课程的质量。目的:这项研究的重点是在数学前班的形状指导游戏课上,研究了如何实施形状以及孩子们在课堂上可以学到什么。地点:这些课程是在赞比亚两所不同学校的两个幼儿数学班中进行的。方法:采用基于定性设计的研究方法。在数据收集方面,教师在赞比亚首都卢萨卡的一所学校和另一所学校分别开设了试听课和主要课。结果:在第一课中,该活动与计划和讨论的活动有所不同。在第二课中 指导剧的内容和目的与试用课的内容和目标有所不同。在主要课程中,孩子们参加了涉及形状的更基本的活动,并创造了他们在学校内外所熟悉的各种形状。在明确学习形状的基本特征和重要的数学思想(如一致性,相似性和对称性)方面,这对儿童特别有效。结论:主要课程是成功的,因为数学内容的水平更适合儿童,并使他们能够享受活动。还评估和讨论了关于为儿童早期教育开发更有效的课程以识别学生的准备情况和社会文化地位的两点。孩子们参与了涉及形状的更基本的活动,并创造了他们在学校内外所熟悉的各种形状。在明确学习形状的基本特征和重要的数学思想(如一致性,相似性和对称性)方面,这对儿童特别有效。结论:主要课程是成功的,因为数学内容的水平更适合儿童,并使他们能够享受活动。还评估和讨论了关于为儿童早期教育开发更有效的课程以识别学生的准备情况和社会文化地位的两点。孩子们参与了涉及形状的更基本的活动,并创造了他们在学校内外所熟悉的各种形状。在明确学习形状的基本特征和重要的数学思想(如一致性,相似性和对称性)方面,这对儿童特别有效。结论:主要课程是成功的,因为数学内容的水平更适合儿童,并使他们能够享受活动。还评估和讨论了关于为儿童早期教育开发更有效的课程以识别学生的准备情况和社会文化地位的两点。在明确学习形状的基本特征和重要的数学思想(如一致性,相似性和对称性)方面,这对儿童特别有效。结论:主要课程是成功的,因为数学内容的水平更适合儿童,并使他们能够享受活动。还评估和讨论了关于为儿童早期教育开发更有效的课程以识别学生的准备情况和社会文化地位的两点。在明确学习形状的基本特征和重要的数学思想(如一致性,相似性和对称性)方面,这对儿童特别有效。结论:主要课程是成功的,因为数学内容的水平更适合儿童,并使他们能够享受活动。还评估和讨论了关于为儿童早期教育开发更有效的课程以识别学生的准备情况和社会文化地位的两点。
