2 THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
We learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not finding it than we do from learning the answer itself.” - Lloyd Alexander [3].
This quote encapsulates the essence of changing the focus of the mathematics tutorial to action rather than just solving and writing either alone or in small groups. Although, students do not always appreciate the journey to a solution, particularly an incorrect one, this navigation is where learning is occurring. Aspects of Bloom's Taxonomy of Cognitive Levels and Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences are utilised in the conducting of this new format tutorial session.
2.1 Bloom's Taxonomy
Bloom identified three domains of learning: Cognitive, Affective and Psycho-Motor (though …show more content…
Style refers to the customary way in which an individual approaches a range of materials—for example, a playful or a planful style. Intelligence refers to the computational power of a mental system: for example, a person whose linguistic intelligence is strong is able readily to compute information that involves Language. Whether a person likes to use a certain intelligence is not the same as strength in an intelligence: I might love music but have only mediocre musical intelligence’ [8].
Each person has their own personal framework of intelligences, some stronger than others, and a mixture of these intelligences may be accessed during learning not just one type. Educators can make use of these intelligences by creating an environment of material suitable to several intelligences. So if movement, images, writing, and numbers are combined to teach a topic, this will lay a path for students to learn according to their strengths of several intelligences. So the teaching experience, although delivered to all in the same manner, will be received and processed uniquely by each student. The following Table 4 lists the current intelligences according to Gardner though as the world changes so maybe digital or technological intelligences may be added
