Main Article Content
Abstract
The objectives of the study were : 1. to synthesize instructional guidelines for promoting classroom mathematical discussion according to 5 practices. 2. to examine students’ behaviors in classroom mathematical discussion in a Percentage lesson for fifth grade students of a school in Nakornsawan province. Four cycles of action research were conducted in 10 hours. Research tools of this study included four lesson plans, four worksheets, an instructional reflection form, a video recording, and a mathematical discussion observation form. As a result, 1. four instructional guidelines were synthesized and reported including 1) preparing guideline for pre and during instruction; 2) guideline for stimulating students and creating common understanding on the problem; 3) guideline for creating and maintaining discussion vibe; 4) guideline for connecting and forming mathematical ideas and concept. 2. indicates a positive trend of participation in the classroom mathematical discussion. Connecting, arguing and reasoning as well as explaining are the most prevalent actions of students found in this study. Most of the students' discussions related to steps and procedures in solving problems.
