| Abstract |
Teachers taught area measurement by using only formula. In the teacher de-
velopment by Lesson Study and Open Approach project, teacher provided various
opportunities for all students. Students could learn with their own potentiality by
using open-ended problems. Students solved problem in small-group work using both
verbal language and gesture to communicate group members and teacher. Communi-
cation was one of the basic skills that students must take along with them throughout
their lives. Gestures as non-verbal language were expressed the dimension of thought.
Gesture as an action relating to the observable body, was considered as the exten-
sion parts including human beings’ intention (Rasmussen et al., 2004). Children’
s gestures were not only fill the gap in children’ s speaking but also presented the
valuable information of children’s thought. Teachers should know how to students’
thinking to assess and improve their mathematical communication. The purpose
of the study was to analyze mathematical communication by students’ gestures in
lesson study and open approach from transcribing video and audio tapes in solving
open-ended problem classroom at Ban Bungnrum Bungkrinoon School. Data was
analyzed based on Emori’s (2005) characteristics of mathematical communication:
rigorousness, economy, and freedom. The results indicated that most of the students
used messages communicate with concise messages as economy which was a charac-
teristic of mathematical communication and used gesture as dynamic tool in learning
area measurement. |
