This open access book shares revealing insights into the development of mathematics education research in Germany from 1976 (ICME 3 in Karlsruhe) to 2016 (ICME 13 in Hamburg). How did mathematics education research evolve in the course of these four decades? Which ideas and people were most influential, and how did German research interact with the international community? These questions are answered by scholars from a range of fields and in ten thematic sections: (1) a short survey of the development of educational research on mathematics in German speaking countries (2) subject-matter didactics, (3) design science and design research, (4) modelling, (5) mathematics and Bildung 1810 to 185...
Forty-seven percent of the American people, according to a 1991 Gallup poll, believe that God made man--as man is now--in a single act of creation, and within the last ten thousand years. Ronald L. Numbers chronicles the astonishing resurgence of this belief since the 1960s, as well as the creationist movement's tangled roots in the theologies of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Baptists, Presbyterians, Lutherans, Adventists, and other religious groups. Even more remarkable than Numbers's story of today's widespread rejection of the theory of evolution is the dramatic shift from acceptance of the earth's antiquity to the insistence of present-day scientific creationists that most fossils date back to Noah's flood and its aftermath, and that the earth itself is not more than ten thousand years old. Numbers traces the evolution of scientific creationism and shows how the creationist movement challenges the very meaning of science.
How can the church meaningfully and intelligently engage cultures with Christianity? Oftentimes, it is not the message but the messenger that provides the greatest stumbling block for the average non-Christian. A missionary's ability to identify with the people, not in sympathy, but in empathy, is one of the keys. Language is another crucial factor. Anthropology and missions have much to learn from each other. Customs and Cultures provides practical ways missionaries can become acquainted with the cultural anthropology of the local community. Eugene Nida, a leading scholar and devout Christian, presents a thorough study of the means and methods which best communicate Christianity to people of diverse backgrounds. Dr. Nida is uniquely equipped to write this book because he is a well-known specialist in linguistics, anthropology studies, and the interpretation of the Christian faith, who worked with missionaries on translation problems for over thirty years. The development of the church is the real goal. The power of Jesus Christ working through his consecrated servants can sanctify all of life to the glory of God.
The International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME) is the largest international conference on mathematics education in the world. This quadrennial event is organized under the auspices of the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI). This book, the Proceedings of ICME-14, presents the latest trends in mathematics education research and mathematics teaching practices at all levels. Each chapter covers an extensive range of topics in mathematics education.Volume I consists of 4 Plenary Lectures, 3 Plenary Panels, 5 Lectures of Awardees, 4 Survey Teams, 62 Topic Study Groups, 13 Discussion Groups, 20 Workshops, a Thematic Afternoon, and an Early Career Researcher Day...
This book considers some of the outstanding questions regarding language and communication in the teaching and learning of mathematics – an established theme in mathematics education research, which is growing in prominence. Recent research has demonstrated the wide range of theoretical and methodological resources that can contribute to this area of study, including those drawing on cross-disciplinary perspectives influenced by, among others, sociology, psychology, linguistics, and semiotics. Examining language in its broadest sense to include all modes of communication, including visual and gestural as well as spoken and written modes, it features work presented and discussed in the Lang...
Die Bildungsstandards für das Fach Mathematik im Primarbereich sind in der Fassung vom 23.06.2022 um eine prozessbezogene Kompetenz erweitert worden: „mit mathematischen Objekten und Werkzeugen arbeiten“. Neben der symbolischen und formalen Sprache, mathematischen Fachbegriffen und Zeichen, sowie mathematischen Objekten, kommt dem Einsatz mathematischer Werkzeuge, wobei beispielhaft digitale Werkzeuge aufgeführt sind, eine wichtige Rolle zu. In diesem Band werden Projekte aus der Forschung, der Schulpraxis und der Lehrerbildung dargestellt, die explizit die Förderung prozessbezogener Kompetenzen und insbesondere die Kompetenz „mit mathematischen Objekten und Werkzeugen arbeiten“ im Kontext des Einsatzes digitaler Medien im Mathematikunterricht der Primarstufe adressieren. Dabei widmen sich Autorinnen und Autoren verschiedenen mathematischen Inhaltsbereichen, wie Arithmetik, Geometrie oder Kombinatorik. So decken die Beiträge ein breites Spektrum an mathematischen Inhalten ab.
Der Umgang mit Heterogenität ist eine der zentralen Herausforderungen für das deutsche Bildungssystem – und ein Thema, das die Behandlung allgemeiner Grundfragen des gesellschaftlichen Zusammenlebens und der Demokratie motiviert. Spätestens seit Mitte der 1990er Jahre gewinnt dieser Topos im Bildungsdiskurs zunehmend an Bedeutung. Heterogenität im schulischen Umfeld wirkt sich also unter anderem auf die Organisation des gesamten Schulsystems, die Schulentwicklung und die Lehrplangestaltung aus. Aus diesem Grund ist auch die Didaktik des Mathematikunterrichts herausgefordert, Heterogenität als Feld der Forschung, Lehre und disziplinären Debatte anzuerkennen. Dabei ist sie mit bildungs...
Charles Kraft is a well-known author, educator, linguist, anthropologist, and missiologist. This book consists of his selected writings compiled over more than three decades. Subjects including anthropology, communication, worldview, ethnolinguistics, hermeneutics, and contextualization are dealt with as they relate to Christianity and Kraft's unique perspective. Kraft's personal story and an exhaustive bibliography of his personal writings (from 1961-2000) are included. This book is of extraodrinary value to those who desire to study Christianity, culture and communication, and the interplay between all three.
Dem Komponieren im Musikunterricht wird schon lange ein besonderes ästhetisches und kreatives Bildungspotential attestiert - bislang jedoch ohne empirische Befunde. Elisabeth Theisohn untermauert den musikpädagogischen Anspruch an das Komponieren in der Schule. Sie rekonstruiert kreatives Handeln und Lernen von Schüler*innen beim gemeinsamen Komponieren, das sich zwischen pragmatischer Aufgabenerledigung, Behauptungen des Eigenen und Kollaboration aufspannt. Dabei entwickelt sie nicht nur didaktische Gestaltungsprinzipien für agilen, norm- und kontingenzsensiblen Musikunterricht, sondern entwirft auch einen differenzierten Blick auf Unterricht und Schule aus praxeologischer Perspektive.
