The
article “Battle Ground,” presents the argument, which resonates every math
teacher. There are two reasons behind
that. The first reason is, it makes us as math teachers to critically evaluate
our teaching methods, whether our teaching gives the learner enough pace to do
experimentation with the problem or it expects just the right answer from the
learner by following the well-established formulas. I totally agree with the Dewey’s argument in which he advocated the development
of high quality mental process and scientific attitude. For instance, I remember the time
when I was in grade seven and taught by the traditional method. At that time,
it was very difficult for me to digest those formulas. Consequently, I do not
want my students to suffer from the same difficulty. Hence, I am eager to teach
my students by involving them in exploring the problem rather then telling them
to follow some steps.
