Description¶

The researchers prepared five project pre-study files, one for each sub-issue of the unit, containing research questions and thought-provoking router questions. Each file opened with the research issue of the week and closed with an individual 'What I have learned?' section, with group tasks, debate questions and everyday-life connections between. Groups of 4 or 5 students worked through one file per week over 7 weeks, presented projects in the final week, and the teacher guided groups and canalized them to proper resources.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

Groups of 4 or 5 students with a named group leader
Teacher guidance and access to resources such as the library and ICT laboratory
Class time allocated for completing the files

Constraints¶

The study is limited to the ratio, proportion and percentage unit in 7th grade
Some files needed more than one week because of content density

Target Learners¶

7th grade secondary school mathematics students

Learning Goals¶

ratio, proportion and percentage concepts and problem solving
collaboration and learning-to-learn skills
