Towards Gender Equity in Mathematics Education
THE REAL WORLD OF MATHEMATICS, SCIENCE, AND TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION In this Preface, I would like to focus on what I mean by “education” and speak about the models and metaphors that are used when people talk, write, and act in the domain of education. We need to look at the assu- tions and processes that the models and metaphors implicitly and explicitly contain. I feel we should explore whether there is a specific thrust to mat- matics education in the here and now, and be very practical about it. For me education is the enhancement of knowledge and understanding, and there is a strong and unbreakable link between the two. There seems l- tle point in acquiring knowledge without understanding its meaning. Nor is it enough to gain a deep understanding of problems without gaining the appropriate knowledge to work for their solution. Thus knowledge and understanding are each necessary conditions for the process of education, but only when they are linked will the process bear fruit. Only in the b- anced interplay of knowledge and understanding can we expect to achieve genuine education.
Math Worlds
An international group of distinguished scholars brings a variety of resources to bear on the major issues in the study and teaching of mathematics, and on the problem of understanding mathematics as a cultural and social phenomenon. All are guided by the notion that our understanding of mathematical knowledge must be grounded in and reflect the realities of mathematical practice. Chapters on the philosophy of mathematics illustrate the growing influence of a pragmatic view in a field traditionally dominated by platonic perspectives. In a section on mathematics, politics, and pedagogy, the emphasis is on politics and values in mathematics education. Issues addressed include gender and mathematics, applied mathematics and social concerns, and the reflective and dialogical nature of mathematical knowledge. The concluding section deals with the history and sociology of mathematics, and with mathematics and social change. Contributors include Philip J. Davis, Helga Jungwirth, Nel Noddings, Yehuda Rav, Michael D. Resnik, Ole Skovsmose, and Thomas Tymoczko.
Approaches to Qualitative Research in Mathematics Education
This volume documents a range of qualitative research approaches emerged within mathematics education over the last three decades, whilst at the same time revealing their underlying methodologies. Continuing the discussion as begun in the two 2003 ZDM issues dedicated to qualitative empirical methods, this book presents astate of the art overview on qualitative research in mathematics education and beyond. The structure of the book allows the reader to use it as an actual guide for the selection of an appropriate methodology, on a basis of both theoretical depth and practical implications. The methods and examples illustrate how different methodologies come to life when applied to a specific question in a specific context. Many of the methodologies described are also applicable outside mathematics education, but the examples provided are chosen so as to situate the approach in a mathematical context.
Comparing Learning Outcomes
Written by researchers from eleven different countries, these accounts offer clear guidance on conducting different forms of international comparative research and valuable suggestions for new directions in such research.
Theories of Mathematics Education
Advances in Mathematics Education is a new and innovative book series published by Springer that builds on the success and the rich history of ZDM—The Inter- tional Journal on Mathematics Education (formerly known as Zentralblatt für - daktik der Mathematik). One characteristic of ZDM since its inception in 1969 has been the publication of themed issues that aim to bring the state-of-the-art on c- tral sub-domains within mathematics education. The published issues include a rich variety of topics and contributions that continue to be of relevance today. The newly established monograph series aims to integrate, synthesize and extend papers from previously published themed issues of importance today, by orienting these issues towards the future state of the art. The main idea is to move the ?eld forward with a book series that looks to the future by building on the past by carefully choosing viable ideas that can fruitfully mutate and inspire the next generations. Taking ins- ration from Henri Poincaré (1854–1912), who said “To create consists precisely in not making useless combinations and in making those which are useful and which are only a small minority.
Feminist Visions of Gender Similarities and Differences
Winner of the Distinguished Publication Award 1996 from the Association for Women in Psychology, Feminist Visions of Gender Similarities and Differences opens a dialectic between the two traditions of feminism--similarities-based and differences-based--and generates useful scientific, political, and psychological tensions. Psychologists and scholars can benefit from Meredith Kimball's analysis and the tensions she creates because they ultimately broaden feminist visions. She informs the political analysis of those working on the inside and those on the outside of feminism to end all forms of discrimination and oppression.In opening the dialogue between the two traditions, Kimball presents a ...
What Counts as Mathematics?
This book presents an institutional study located at the intersection mathematics education and vocational education. Using the concept of technology as a unifying theme, it presents a critique of neoliberalist policies and their impact upon curriculum, teachers' work, and the apparent de-institutionalization of vocational education - with particular reference to mathematics education and the consequences for adult students as (potential) workers and citizens.
Der lange Weg
Wie erfolgte der Zugang zur Bildung für Mädchen und Burschen seit dem Schulgesetzwerk 1962 bis heute? Gab es an das Geschlecht gebundene Bildungsinhalte? Wann und in welchem nationalen und internationalen Rahmen entwickelte sich eine Gleichstellungspolitik und wodurch war diese beeinflusst? Wo lagen die Hauptaktionsfelder, wer waren die Protagonistinnen und Protagonisten? Verschiedene Strategien und zahlreiche Maßnahmen führten zu Teilerfolgen, der Weg zur Gleichstellung ist noch nicht zu Ende. Heute steht die Schulpolitik vor alten und neuen Herausforderungen.
Chancen und Risiken für österreichische Direktinvestitionen in Südafrika in der Post-Apartheid-Ära
Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: Die Wirtschaft Südafrikas ist geprägt von ausländischen Investoren. Ebenso haben sich bereits einige österreichische Unternehmen auf dem südafrikanischen Markt etabliert. Während der Apartheid-Ära waren viele Wirtschaftsbereiche stark geschützt. Durch die gegenüber Südafrika verhängten Sanktionen war das Land von der Weltwirtschaft teilweise abgeschirmt. Die Abschaffung der Apartheid war eine entscheidende Wende in der wirtschaftlichen Situation Südafrikas. Das Land wird nun verstärkt in die Weltwirtschaft integriert. Für den wirtschaftlichen Aufschwung und auch für die Schaffung von Arbeitsplätzen benötigt die Republik am Kap ausländische Direktin...
