Question

briefly decribe richard skemp theory of mathematic learning ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

richard skemp suggested there are two kinds of learning in mathematics :

Step-by-step explanation:

Instrumental understanding2: a mechanical, rote or ‘learn the rule/method/algorithm’ kind of learning (which gives quicker results for the teacher in the short term), e.g. writing 10 would be understood as “This is how we write 10” in instrumental terms.

Relational understanding2: a more meaningful learning in which the pupil is able to understand the links and relationships which give mathematics its structure (which is more beneficial in the long term and aids motivation), e.g. writing 10 would be understood as “This is why we write 10 like this (in terms of place value)” in relational terms.
