Design and Development of Constructivist Web-Based Learning Environment Model to Foster Mathematical Problem Solving and Metacognition for Elementary Students
Abstract:
The Purposes of this research was to design and develop constructivist web-based learning environment model to foster mathematical problem solving and metacognition for elementary students. The target group consisted of 68 of sixth grade, the Demonstration School of Khon Kaen University (Mordindang) during 2016 academic year in order to explore the context for teaching and learning, 1 of designer, 1 of developer and 6 of experts. The research design was model research in phase 1 model development, Several methods used in this study were document analysis and survey. The result revealed that: The constructivist web-based learning environment model to foster mathematical problem solving and metacognition of learning comprise of 8 components as following: 1) Problem base, 2) Related case,
3) Resources, 4) Fostering mathematical problem solving center, 5) Fostering metacognition center, 6) Scaffoldings,
7) Collaboration and 8) Coaching center. And the efficiency of the constructivist web-based learning environment model to foster mathematical problem solving and metacognition of learning showed 3 the appropriated dimensions:
The content is appropriate for learning. The characteristic of web base was appropriate for supporting the learners to learn and access information easily. The design of eight components were congruent with underlined theories.
