Got my first partial grades (Kilala.nl (Cailin Coilleach)) by Cailin Coilleach
About a week ago I turned in my first two reports for "Statistics 1 - Didactics".The first report focused on maths education using the Getal en ruimte (Numbers and space) method. My final conclusion was that G&R; is a nice enough method, teaching students the whole gammut of statistics. IMHO, the big downside to the Getal en Ruimte books is that they're so damn distracting. Each page is a colourful, multimedia explosion. Each assignment and piece of text has markers/identifiers in the margin to further confuse matters.
The ironic thing is that I used the same G&R; series in high school. Back then they were awesome books: clear, transparent, not too hectic and a joke here and there. Things have changed a lot since I was a kid.
The second report covered the final terms for maths education in VMBO. I couldn't get my hands on all of the required books, but I managed to wing it. The Getal en ruimte method proved itself again for VMBO, readying the student for his final terms. I think the books may have glossed over a few terms a little lightly, but most students should be fine for their exams.
Both reports received a "ZG" score which translates into "Very Good". Awesome! :3 I'm definitely going to try my best to keep this score up!
