Research Abstract |
A new curriculum based on children's thinking in ratio was established in the jpresent study. The ratio concepts as a quantity rather than symbol operations was stressed in the new curriculum. One hundred and three students participated in eight lessons based on the new curriculum and 91 received normal lessons following the textbook. Results showed that the students of the experimental group showed significantly superior performance over the textbook group in solving the problems of conceptual understanding. These results were discussed from the view of a new curriculum based on children's thinking.
