Abstract. The retrospective of the teaching mathematics is investigated by the educational psychology. The retrospective of the teaching is analyzed by the typology of the mathematical exercises. We using the exercises norm referenced and criterion referenced. The intellectual classes differently of the students are accepting.

 

Key words: Retrospective of the teaching mathematics, mathematical exercises, exercises norm referenced, exercises criterion referenced.

 

Introduction

The selection mathematical exercises for the identification retrospective of the teaching mathematics are complicated pedagogical activity operation. The selection is prosperous operation with by quantity lessons mathematics. The compliance of the proportion curriculum of the mathematics is indispensable in the selection exercises.

The package of the mathematical exercises for identification retrospective of the teaching mathematics are write down with the convention for construct the non-standardize testes.

The packages of the exercises are discriminate for norm referenced (NR) and for criterion referenced (CR) exercises.

The discrimination is by the activity the students.

           

            The norm referenced NR packages exercises expressed the learning results of the student on the confrontation with classmates.

 

            The criterion referenced CR packages exercises expressed the learning results of the students on the confrontation in the quantity of the learn curriculum.

           

Purposes of the suggestions packages exercises

 

Suggestions packages exercise are construct for the alumnus of the high school.

 

Suggestions packages are integrate in the read up on after teaching given thematic complex.

 

Range curriculum of the package exercises represented fundamental sciential requirement of the students on the levels.

 

Levels resolve the exercises on the prepared the pieces of paper.

 

Packages of the mathematical exercises motivate the mathematical teachers.

 

Form of the exercises in the packages

 

The thesis of the exercises NR and CR packages transcend the fundamental curriculum. The teacher determine about the exercises for the monitoring retrospective of the teaching the mathematics.

If the exercises represented the fundamental curriculum, then the packages monitors remember and understanding of the know-how of the students.

The form of the exercises is dichotomous, the exercises have the answer with selection or the structured exercises with the extensive answer or creative exercises and the gap-fill exercises.

In the packages are the open –ended exercises and bounded exercises. The students create the answer in the open-ended exercises or the students choose the correct answer of the designated alternatives.

 

Students fill to satisfy allowed in the form the mathematical algorithms by determined the solution open – ended structured exercises.

 

Students present the answer in the form number, graphic symbol, definition, word for the open-ended structured mathematical exercises.

 

Students fill in the open – ended exercises with the short answer, The exercises has form incomplete theorem and they called cloze exercises.

 

Students choose the correct answer of the many answers in the package mathematical bounded exercises with selection answer (optimal number answer is 5).

 

In the bounded mapping mathematical exercises the students determine corresponding results.

 

In the bounded systemization mathematical exercises the students create group elements by the specific property.

 

Bounded dichotomous mathematical exercises are not in the packages mathematical exercises. In the dichotomous exercises the students determine of the two eventuality: yes-no, correct – non-correct.

 

Open-ended non-structured mathematical exercises with large answer are not in the packages. In this exercises the students have the problem choose the answer.

 

Conclusion

 

The mathematical exercises packages have the properties of the didactic testes – validity – the degree correspondence with the mathematical curriculum of the thematic complex. Analogical by didactic testes - the mathematical exercises packages have

a)      Content validity,

b)      Aspect validity,

c)      Conceptual validity.

Content validity represented regular contain mathematical curriculum for the packages. Aspect validity  represented the extent correspondence with the result of the other mathematical test.

Conceptual validity represented extent for the know-how acquired in the teaching.

 

The mathematical exercises packages have the properties of the didactic testes – reliability – is the criterion of the precision and infallibility of the measure the adjusted teacher result.

The measure is reliability if the multiple measure the given mathematical complex we have identical results. (The test is validity if he is too much reliability. The too much reliability not guarantees the validity of the test.)

The package of the mathematical exercises is practical. The practical of the package is the requirement economical. The economical packages has the exercises where the extensive curriculum the great quantity students is verify in the short time
