在印度进行的一项研究显示,在零售市场工作的儿童在实际数学上擅长交易,但在学习数学问题上却挣扎不休。 A study in India reveals that children working in retail markets excel at practical math for transactions but struggle with academic math problems. 相反,在校儿童在数学方面表现良好,但在现实世界交易方面表现不佳。 Conversely, school children perform well on academic math but poorly on real-world transactions. 该研究由经济学家Esther Duflo和Abhijit Banerjee牵头,建议需要改进教学方法,以弥合实际数学和学术数学技能之间的差距。 Led by economists Esther Duflo and Abhijit Banerjee, the study suggests a need for improved teaching methods to bridge the gap between practical and academic math skills.
