Analysis of linguistic expression in sentences of mathematics and specialised fields
Get PDFThis paper aims to examine the unique language expressions that appear in mathematical sentences, overview their characteristics, and explore related research and educational challenges. In mathematical sentences, general vocabulary in daily use also appears beside terms which are part of a specialised vocabulary representing professional concepts. It has been observed that in these linguistic expressions, there is sometimes a shift in meaning between mathematical sentences and everyday sentences. Because these words are similar to everyday words, they are regarded as ’technical terms that are difficult to distinguish’. In order to understand such a ‘difficult-to-distinguish technical term’, it is necessary to consider the term’s placement and its context and to locate it in similar expressions with shared meanings. In addition, for a term representing logical relationships, particularly a word which lost its original meaning and has become formalised as a technical term, it is necessary to capture the structure of the meaning and incorporate it into the phrase

Emphasis was placed on the data collected during and after the trial lesson, as well as data collected during the “Practical Seminar for the Teaching Profession”.From this study, it was found that trial lessons were effective in the student’s learning of “teaching materials”, “Instructional design”, and the “teaching methods of school subject". In addition, trial lessons in these subjects presented the university professors with an opportunity to realize their students’ ability to “Content Knowledge”, and showed the students a path to systematically review their practice teaching methods
