Trang 1Introduction 1.Motivation of research
The process of active teaching-learning related to intellectual abilities,qualifications, professional qualities and personality attributes perceived to operatetransformed into property for him The theory asserted teaching-learning method issolving active learning tasks The selection and use of appropriate teaching-learningmethods are very important significance for the quality of teaching In strategic reform
of national education systems Laos, years 2006-2015 proposed "innovation objectives,new contents of educational "and "training teachers and innovative methods teaching-learning " But in reality, teaching mathematics in secondary schools Lao PDR showsinnovation is not significant and no research on the application of perspective in activeteaching-learning in math From the above reasons, the topic chosen is "Applyingtheory active learning to teaching-learning Arithmetic and Algebra in grade six atschools the Lao People's Democratic Republic."
2 Research objectives
To find out ways on applying the theory active learning to teaching-learning
Arithmetic and Algebra in grade six at schools Lao PDR
3 Research function • Survey requirements and the status of mathematics
teaching methods in schools Lao PDR • System view of theory active learning was operated teaching-learning in mathematics in secondary schools • Apply perspective
of active learning to teaching Arithmetic and Algebra in Grade 6 to improve the quality
of learning for pupils • Pedagogical experiments to evaluate results of the topic
4 Sciences hypothetical
If the math teacher is fostering operational perspective theoretical approach combines the practical point of view it may be used effectively in teaching practice,
Trang 2contributing to innovative teaching methods because point operations are core elements
of active teaching methods in the schools
5 Research Methodology • Use research methods to solve reasoning tasks (2), (3), and a part of the mission (1) (requirements for teaching math in Laos) • Investigate and observe( the status of teaching methods in Laos) and part of the task (4)
(experimentally observed when teachers) • Using empirical methods to solve
pedagogical tasks (4)
6 Donation of the topic
In terms of theory: To prove the correctness of the theory active has effectively
quality to apply in a new condition and circumstances of teaching mathematics in schools country Laos
In terms of practical: - Improvement of the status positive way of students learning
mathematics in schools Lao PDR by active teaching-learning methods - The content
of thesis can reference for mathematics teachers in secondary schools Lao PDR
7 The structure of the thesis The thesis consists of an introduction, threechapters and concludes: Chapter 1 Based theory and real status; Chapter 2 Apply thetheory active into teaching-learning methods to teach arithmetic and algebra in gradesix schools Lao PDR; Chapter3 Pedagogy experimental
Chapter 1: Based theory and real status
1.1 The theory active in teaching-learning math in schools Some contents of actives in the psychological The actively process and through active of activities, each person into their ownthemselves, creating and developing their own sense In Thought ethics, C Mac and PH Angghen " when people developments material product and transformed his material has change of his real thinking and the products
of their thinking." The actively goals/subject is really active engine According thesis L.S Vugotski and A.N Leonchiev "actives is the essence of psychology" meaning, human activity is the birthplace of the human psyche Consciousness is the product of
Trang 3active and human middle line to influence the phenomena, psychological phenomena are truth actively The relationship between psychology and actively is relationship between, one hand are conditions, the purpose and the engine and other one hand are methodology, actions and actives.
1.1.1.1 The concept of actives
We understand the actives are works process interaction between people andaround the world to create products to the world and to the human product Humanshave created products to the world, has created its own psychology, and humanpsychology to be revealed, to occur inactive and through the actives According to
Marxist psychology, human life is an actives stream, is the goal of human actives
interchangeably Nguyen Xuan Thuc said the actives are mode of human existence.The first is action process of humans as material of goal in the world (world materials),
to create products which contain the psychological characteristics of the person whocreated it The second is the process of humans transforming those contained in worldinto myself; get more experienced of the world, these attributes, the rules of theworld the human can comprehension and understanding process
1.1.1.2 The actives characteristics - Actives are always the object of activesavailable or appear during action process Actives learning are aimed at knowledge,skills to know, understand, acquire and put into the experience itself, which isacquiring knowledge &skills - Actives are always carried out by the goal/subject toaction The teacher is the subject of teaching-learning actives Students are subject toacademic actives The subject is a person, sometimes some people Both teachers and students are the subject of teaching-learning actives - Actives action indirect of the principle or using tools People using voice, writing,numbers and pictures of
psychology as a tool for organizational psychology and control in every human spirit
- Actives are always certain purposes In all the actives of human purpose is very clear Learning to get knowledge, skills and perception preparing action into life
Trang 41.1.1.3 Structure of actives Life is a series of human actives Actives are alwaysmotivated; take action to achieve the goals and to solve a given task The aim isregulated by the means and the specific conditions where the action takes place Action
by the manipulation of the city, the actives depend on the means and conditions toachieve specific goals
1.1.1.4 Types of actives Human actives are divided into two categories: activelabor and actives indirect If individual development, are three types succession ofactives such as fun actives, learning and working In other addition, actives are dividedinto four categories such as change actives, cognitive actives, value-oriented activesand indirect actives Active teaching and learning are a cognitive actives; that mean is akind of mental active, do not change the real objects, real relationships, etc There forhumans analyze, synthesize, generalize, and remember that image [42, p.54-55]
1.1.2 The actives theory of teaching-learning math in schools
1.1.2.1 Content math in schools "The content of general education to ensureuniversal, fundamental, comprehensive, user-system to real life, in accordance withphysiological age students, meet the goals education at each level ., capacitydevelopment to meet the aspirations of students "[27] Thus, the contents ofmathematics consists mainly of arithmetic, algebra, calculus and geometry with theworking methods, the idea all contents as a basis for teaching comprehensive
education • Arithmetic, algebra and calculus consists of content aggregation,transformation homogeneous equation and any equations, functions and graphs, theelements of calculus analysis and cluster random sampling • Geometry is the concept
of geometry, geometric quantity, relation of the geometry, and allows offsetting auniform, vector coordinates
1.1.2.2 Students of actives learning mathematics in schools
Content math in school is closely associated with the actives such as active
Trang 5recognition and expression, complex math, intelligence actives in mathematics, andgeneral intellectual actives language actives.
1.1.2.3 The theory actives in teaching-learning mathematics in schools
Compositions of the basic psychological actives are engine, manipulation, content andresults [19, p.73] View of actives teaching methods are shown in the following:
a) Give students implement and training actives and action components compatiblewith the contents and teaching purposes b) Recommendation engine and conductlearning actives c) Transfer knowledge, especially knowledge as means of approachand results of actives d) Divide sub-level actives which to base in teaching processcontrol
1.1.3 The student actives of grade 6 to learning math:Each learning content arerelated to certain activities Contents mathematic grade 6 of teaching actives areconcepts, rules and exercises The principal activities of secondary school students ingrades 6 Laos is: identify activities, express a concept, a principle, a method, complexmath operations, intelligence operations and joint operations the lanquage
1.1.4 The meaning of an active perspective in teaching math in school
Active perspective reflects the basic components of psychological, elements basis ofteaching-learning methods and prove the Marxist theory on human development In teaching actives for students to conduct self-learning, actives, positive, effective and ensure overall development of the body
1.2 Innovative of teaching-learning methods
1.2.1 The need for innovation teaching-learning methods The strengthening development of human resources needed to enhance teaching-learning methods by towards strengthening and training actives to foster level of knowledge, skills,
autonomy regular school (self-learning, self-study) and lifelong learning andcreativity, enabling students to make collective a favorable learning environment,
Trang 6students interact and learn from each other emulation mutual learning and promoteactive learning process.
1.2.2 Orientation innovation of teaching-learning methods. If not the only onceway, is to create opportunities for students learning by active, self-discipline, initiativeand creativity The needs to become oriented the innovation of teaching-learningmethods and is call orientation actives [23] Orientation innovation of teaching-learning methods that can be applied effectively and contribute to schools Lao PDR
1.3 Contents of curriculum and textbooks in Mathematics grade 6 schools at Lao PDR Secondary program in Laos consists of 4 layers: 6, 7, 8 and 9 Grade 6program of Laos equivalent of grade 6 in Vietnam 6th grade math texbook of Laos wascompiled by education reform program and was released in 2010 to use
6th grade math texbook Laos consists of 2 parts: there are 21 articles on algebra,geometry and 10 posts of distribution is 143 lesson time period is 33 weeks, a semesterteaching 17 week, 16-week semesters and two teaching teach 4 periods per week.1.4 Current status of teaching mathematics in school Lao PDR
1.4.1 Purpose, object status of survey The survey to understand and assess
the status of teaching-learning for a basis condition to suggestions of using the theory active into teaching grade six math at the secondary school Vientiane, Lao PDR The numbers are 100 teachers of 18 schools survey on mathematics subject in secondaryschools and results of 3812 students learning objects
1.4.2 The situation in general education Number of student dropout ismorespecific in 2010, lower secondary school student dropout 12.6%, high secondaryschool students dropout 9.3%, graduation rate by volume is 68.9% lower secondaryschool and high secondary school is 75.3% The teachers training not yet widespreadand deep expertise, fostering teacher quality is low, fewer teachers use teachingmethods to encourage student learning, teachers mostly use teaching methods byteacher lecture -student listening, recording and fellow teachers form and lack of
Trang 7teacher explained Number of students in overcrowded classrooms, low qualityteaching, learning outcomes between cities and rural areas are different.
1.4.3 Results of the survey in the state of mathematics teaching some
schools in years 2006-2010
1.4.3.1 Status of teachers a) Use of teaching-learning methods of teachers b) The self-training and retraining of teachers on teaching-learning methods c)The difficultieswhen applying active teaching-learning methods d) The interest of the manager
1.4.3.2 Status of students learning
1.4.3.3 Conclusions of the survey situation Mathematics teaching situation inthe schools at Vientiane, for generally are poor quality study when compared to the requirements of science - society today Poor academic results due to many causes which are related as follows: • The majority of teachers do not use many of positive teaching methods They use teaching methods require less active students, teachers work mainly The cause of this situation is by teacher limited retraining to innovation teaching methods Although, some teachers have train themselves fostered by reading, but confusion in the application of the actual teaching. • Student motivated to
learning weak, lazy thinking and lack of initiative The cause of the students' learning not high because teacher to teach not create encouragement for students interested in learning is a significant of part The survey was conducted in schools in Vientiane seensuch poor quality that the schools in remote rural areas, many learning conditions is limited, such as the quality of learning will how? This is inevitable and urgent reform
of teaching-learning methods to enhance the quality of student learning

2.1.2 Active engine
Example 6: the lesson "how to know the vowels number"
To make students aware the meaning and object's of actives, teachers may suggest the beginning by two ways follow:
Option 1: Negative numbers appear due to internal demand Teacher made some calculations with natural numbers: 2 5 ?; 2 5 ?;2 5 ? ;
When it does not perform calculations 2 5 ?
Teacher will suggest engine: Need some kind of new take on how to subtraction of natural numbers is done
Option 2: Negative numbers appear due to practical needs Teacher give students to
observe a number of visual items such as thermometers prepared and introduced intemperature; drawings and introducing appropriate height, depth, temperatures andrequired students reading a temperatures of city (with heat sound level is below thetemperature, ocean temperature); convention 0 m of the sea level, altitude requirementsstudents reader certain mountain (including positive numbers, negative numbers).Teacher would suggest engine: From the above example should put some kind of newnumber how to easily recognize the knowledge mentioned above
Example 7: Unit “Ordering the set of integers” To make students aware of the
significance of the object’s operations and activities teachers may suggest opening the enginie as follows: In the set of natural numbers has a comparison, the same set of integers we have also carried out a comparison of the content that is today’s lesson
Example 8: The lesson "exponentiation with natural exponent Multiply the two
Trang 12powers of the same number " In order for the teaching objectives is a guide for
students to speak rulesa m.a n a mn, teachers can conduct intermediate suggests
the engine as follows: Teacher: Writing the product of two power after a power:
1) 2 3 2 2, 2) a4.a3 Students:???
Teacher intermediate to engine are as follows: Have students a comment about
the result the exponent of the power? Student:???
Through two examples above, please to know want the two powers have the
same base how? Students:???
Example 9: When training for students of the nature of such multiplication
2.1.3 Active of knowledge
Example 10: The lesson "Plus two integers have the same sign" According the active
theory, instead of just notified that knowledge for students, teachers can create
situations for student actives as follows: Please make a calculation ( 3 ) ( 1 ) ?and illustration on the number line.Students:??
Teacher: According to the Convention on the left "+" sign of the positive
numbers in a calculation, the calculation on how to be rewritten?
Student: ( 3 ) ( 1 ) 3 1 4;
