On the Procedural-Conceptual Based Taxonomy and Its Adaptation to the Multi-Dimensional Approach SPUR to Assess Students’ Understanding Mathematics

In this paper we propose a new cognitive taxonomy which is so-called the PCK taxonomy (based on Procedural and Conceptual Knowledge) and adapt this taxonomy to the multi-dimensional approach SPUR (Skills, Properties, Uses, Representations) in analyzing the written mathematics assessments given at some high schools located in Binh Dinh province, Vietnam. Base on the findings we discuss and propose methods to establish the written mathematics assessments in order to assess students’ understanding mathematics more accurately
