Study of Some Effective Factors on Teaching Mathematics, Causes of Non-Utilization of New Teaching Methods, and Consideration of the Effects of Active and Inactive Methods on Learning

摘要

A classroom is similar to a boat, its crews are seeking a seaside,; therefore, all members traveling in the boat should turn on their moving motors. In this paper, firstly we consider active and inactive methods and declare that in individual and group active method, learner is the active party. If active method is established between teacher and a student, it will be called “individual active method” but if the active method is established between teacher and a group of students, the method will be called “group active method”. In inactive method, students are passive and teachers are active. This method is teacher-based. Then, we briefly explained some active methods in mathematics teaching and expressed instructive media. At the end, we arranged a questionnaire during which, some hypotheses were considered and confirmed: 1- The effect of making instruction instruments is more identified in active mathematics teaching than other hypotheses. 2- The effect of active methods is more identified in learning than other hypotheses. 3- The effect of the factor of limited time is more identified in non-utilization of active teaching methods than other hypotheses.
