Learner-centered instruction in mathematics. Teachers' perspectives and interventions

      Аннотация: The book was conceptualized within a constructivist framework in which meaningful mathematics instruction for learners capitalizes on their prior knowledge and the ways they solve their daily mathematical problems. Teachers regarded the student-centered methods as useful and rewarding teaching and learning strategies. However, the constraints including examination assessment requirement, time factor, resources, especially textbooks, language barrier, teachers’ subject matter content and other minor ones such as the size of classes and the heavy planning involved prevent teachers from using student centered methods.
