Reasoning and Applied Mathematics for the Early Years: A Handbook for Teachers
ISBN: 9780595407842 / Angielski / Miękka / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Is it possible that the desire to learn mathematics is being destroyed for most students because of conditioning based on rote learning with the focus on pure mathematics and geometry through computer-driven instruction? Author Robert L. Hammond believes this to be the case and discusses solutions to this problem in "Reasoning and Applied Mathematics for the Early Years: A Handbook for Teachers." Hammond provides lessons on how we can learn to love mathematics by approaching it as a "free creation of thought" as he: Examines the current math programs for reasoning for seventh- and...

Mentoring in Mathematics Teaching
ISBN: 9780750702591 / Angielski / Miękka / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The arena in which the preparation of student-teachers for the teaching of mathematics takes place is shifting its foundations and moving its boundaries. The whole basis of teacher education at secondary level is in flux with a move towards teacher-education programmes which are largely school based. Increasingly, there is seen to be an important role for the school teacher who acts as mentor to the student teacher in some relationship with a tutor from the initial training i nstitution.

Investigating Mathematics Teaching: A Constructivist Enquiry
ISBN: 9780750703734 / Angielski / Twarda / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Barbara Jaworski addresses a number of questions that are central to research on reform in mathematics education today. In this volume she attempts to chart critically yet honestly her own developing ideas as she undertakes a several-year-long enquiry into mathematics teaching and gives a very personal account of her developing conceptions, conjectures, thoughts and reflections. The author accounts for her research both genetically and biographically, simultaneously restructuring the development of her ideas and giving a rigorous, critical and reflective account.

Radical Constructivism
ISBN: 9780750705721 / Angielski / Miękka / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Radical constructivism is a theory of knowing that provides a pragmatic approach to questions about reality, truth, language and human understanding. It introduces a change to many basic ideas, and consequently has a profound influence on the general attitude towards the world we experience. By generating awareness of the thinker's active role in building up concepts, the new orientation liberates the individual from spurious tethers and shows that it is ultimately ourselves who are responsible for what we think and do. To educators, the book suggests that the most important task is not to...

The Sociology of Mathematics Education : Mathematical Myths / Pedagogic Texts
ISBN: 9780750707916 / Angielski / Twarda / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Until the 1960s, maths was studied as an academic subject in a desire to have more mathematicians. The current trend, however, has moved away from viewing maths as a purely intellectual endeavour and towards developing a more mathematically competent workforce and citizenry. This trend has seen a large increase in the number of maths schemes being produced by the major educational publishers, which attempt to make maths easier and more approachable by using language instead of symbols.

Radical Constructivism in Action : Building on the Pioneering Work of Ernst von Glasersfeld
ISBN: 9780750709897 / Angielski / Twarda / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since the mid 1970s, Ernst von Glasersfeld has had an impact on mathematics and science education through his fundamental insights into the nature of knowledge and knowing. This volume of papers honours his work by building on his model of knowing. The contributions by researchers present constructivism in action, tying the authors' actions regarding practical problems of mathematics and science education, philosophy and sociology to their philosophical constraints, giving meaning to constructivism operationally. The book begins with a retrospective analogy between radical constructivism's...

Mathematical Enculturation: A Cultural Perspective on Mathematics Education
ISBN: 9780792312703 / Angielski / Miękka / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Mathematics is in the unenviable position of being simultaneously one of the most important school subjects for today's children to study and one of the least well understood. Its reputation is awe-inspiring. Everybody knows how important it is and everybody knows that they have to study it. But few people feel comfortable with it; so much so that it is socially quite acceptable in many countries to confess ignorance about it, to brag about one's incompe tence at doing it, and even to claim that one is mathophobic So are teachers around the world being apparently legal sadists by inflicting...

Mathematical Knowledge: Its Growth Through Teaching
ISBN: 9780792313441 / Angielski / Twarda / 223 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the first BACOMET volume different perspectives on issues concerning teacher education in mathematics were presented (B. Christiansen, A. G. Howson and M. Otte, Perspectives on Mathematics Education, Reidel, Dordrecht, 1986). Underlying all of them was the fundamental problem area of the relationships between mathematical knowledge and the teaching and learning processes. The subsequent project BACOMET 2, whose outcomes are presented in this book, continued this work, especially by focusing on the genesis of mathematical knowledge in the classroom. The book developed over the period 1985-9...

Advanced Mathematical Thinking

Advanced Mathematical Thinking has played a central role in the development of human civilization for over two millennia. Yet in all that time the serious study of the nature of advanced mathematical thinking what it is, how it functions in the minds of expert mathematicians, how it can be encouraged and improved in the developing minds of students has been limited to the reflections of a few significant individuals scattered throughout the history of mathematics. In the twentieth century the theory of mathematical education during the compulsory years of schooling to age 16 has developed its...

The Legacy of Hans Freudenthal
ISBN: 9780792326533 / Angielski / Twarda / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Legacy of Freudenthal pays homage to Freudenthal and his work on mathematics, its history and education. Almost all authors were his scholars or co-workers. They testify to what they learned from him. Freudenthal himself contributes posthumously. His didactical phenomenology of the concept of force is both provocative and revealing in its originality, compared with what is usually found in physics instruction.
Freudenthal is portrayed as a universal human being by Josette Adda. He made considerable contributions to mathematics itself, e.g. on homotopy theory and Lie groups...

Cultural Perspectives on the Mathematics Classroom
ISBN: 9780792329312 / Angielski / Twarda / 215 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Mathematics teaching and learning have been dominated by a concern for the intellectual readiness of the child, debates over rote learning versus understanding and, recently, mathematical processes and thinking. The gaze into today's mathematics classroom is firmly focused on the individual learner. Recently, however, studies of mathematics in social practices, including the market place and the home, have initiated a shift of focus. Culture has become identified as a key to understanding the basis on which the learner appropriates meaning. The chapters in this timely book attempt to engage...

Towards a Philosophy of Critical Mathematics Education
ISBN: 9780792329329 / Angielski / Twarda / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Nineteen Eighty-Four George Orwell gives a description of different forms of suppression. We learn about the telescreens placed everywhere, through which it is possible for Big-Brother to watch the inhabitants of Oceania. However, it is not only important to control the activities of the inhabitants, it is important as well to control their thoughts, and the Thought Police are on guard. This is a very direct form of monitoring and control, but Orwell also outlines a more imperceptible and calculated line of thought control. In the Appendix to Nineteen Eighty-Four Orwell explains some struc...
