Abstract
Recent studies in psychology and pedagogy explore the duality of human thought, where two opposing systems – heuristic and analytical – interact in a dialectical unity. This leads to two corresponding ways of understanding the world: logical and intuitive. Focusing solely on developing students’ logical abilities may result in them being able to solve only a small number of typical problems and fail to promote their overall personal development. Therefore, more emphasis is now placed on promoting a deeper understanding of topics by moving away from formal approaches. This is done by encouraging active learning and integrating logical and intuitive thinking, which helps students absorb the information at a deeper level. This article explores how these two styles of thinking can be combined in the mathematics classroom and the impact this has on student learning.
