SAŽETAK / ABSTRACT:

Autori u radu ukazuju na važnost učenja sadržaja algebre na ranom uzrastu, ali i na probleme i poteškoće koji prate to učenje. U cilju da iznađu metodički okvir učenja sadržaja algebre koji će da rezultira učenjem sa razumevanjem, skreću pažnju na istraživačku nastavu. U tom kontekstu ukazuju na karakteristike i metodičke vrednosti ove vrste nastave i predstavljaju metodički okvir kroz sledeće faze učenja – provokacija, formulisanje pitanja, eksperimentisanje, diskusija, refleksija i dokumentacija. Ideja je da učenici kroz navedene faze učenja otkrivanjem i manipulacijom konkretnim predmetima istražuju i formiraju pojmove rane algebre. Na konkretnim primerima sadržaja u radu je pokazano kako se istraživačkom nastavom može formirati pojam funkcionalne zavisnosti, pojam jednačine i nejednačine i kako učenici da ovladaju rešavanjem jednačina i nejednačina sa razumevanjem. Cilj ovako oblikovane nastave rane algebre jeste bolje razumevanje osnovnih algebarskih pojmova, kroz aktivno učeničko konstruisanje sopstvenih zaključaka.

KLJUČNE REČI / KEYWORDS:
