Research in University Pedagogy
This book offers an overview of the research carried out in didactics on the teaching and learning of science at university from the perspective of university pedagogy. The first part sheds light on the links between university pedagogy and didactics, by studying the nature and place of disciplinary pedagogical knowledge at university and the training of academics through the prism of professionalization. The second part questions the teaching practices of academics from a disciplinary approach, from the point of view of the impact of the research discipline on the declared practices, or that of the links between the resources mobilized in research and teaching activities. The third part proposes a sociological look at these practices, in terms of the analysis of the discourses of institutional actors or of practices in situ. The book concludes with a synthesis that develops the main issues, challenges and difficulties that remain at the end of this book.
An Introduction to Galois Cohomology and its Applications
This is the first detailed elementary introduction to Galois cohomology and its applications. The introductory section is self-contained and provides the basic results of the theory. Assuming only a minimal background in algebra, the main purpose of this book is to prepare graduate students and researchers for more advanced study.
Research and Development in University Mathematics Education
In the last thirty years or so, the need to address the challenges of teaching and learning mathematics at university level has become increasingly appreciated by university mathematics teachers, and beyond, by educational institutions around the world. Indeed, mathematics is both a condition and an obstacle to success for students in many educational programmes vital to the 21st century knowledge society, for example in pure and applied mathematics, engineering, natural sciences, technology, economics, finance, management and so on. This breadth of impact of mathematics implies the urgency of developing research in university mathematics education, and of sharing results of this research wi...
Les recherches en pédagogie universitaire
Les pratiques d’enseignement à l’université sont depuis les années 2000 la cible d’intérêts vifs et variés, notamment en matière d’innovation pédagogique soutenue, entre autres, par la promotion du numérique. Cet ouvrage propose un panorama des recherches menées en didactique sur l’enseignement et l’apprentissage des sciences à l’université dans la perspective de la pédagogie universitaire. Les recherches en pédagogie universitaire se présente en trois parties. La première éclaire les liens entre pédagogie universitaire et didactique, par l’étude de la place des savoirs pédagogiques disciplinaires à l’université et de la formation des enseignants-chercheurs au prisme de la professionnalisation. La deuxième partie questionne les pratiques d’enseignement des enseignants-chercheurs avec une approche disciplinaire. La troisième partie propose un regard sociologique sur ces pratiques, par l’analyse de discours des acteurs institutionnels ou de pratiques in situ. L’ouvrage se conclut par une synthèse qui développe les principaux enjeux, défis et difficultés qui subsistent à l’issue de cet ouvrage.
Neurodegeneration and Alzheimer's Disease
Understanding the impact of diet, exercise, genetics, and hormones on the risk and development of Alzheimer’s and other neurogenerative diseases Diet is widely known to impact on neurological function. Nevertheless, academic texts discussing this relationship are relatively few in number. This book therefore fills an important gap in the current literature. Opening with an overview of neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer’s disease, the text then focuses on explaining the means by which glycemic control and lipid metabolism – and associated nutritional and lifestyle variables – may factor into such disorders’ prevention and treatment. An international group of experts ...
The Wiley International Handbook of History Teaching and Learning
A comprehensive review of the research literature on history education with contributions from international experts The Wiley International Handbook of History Teaching and Learning draws on contributions from an international panel of experts. Their writings explore the growth the field has experienced in the past three decades and offer observations on challenges and opportunities for the future. The contributors represent a wide range of pioneering, established, and promising new scholars with diverse perspectives on history education. Comprehensive in scope, the contributions cover major themes and issues in history education including: policy, research, and societal contexts; conceptua...
The Wiley International Handbook of Service-Learning for Social Justice
A comprehensive guide to service-learning for social justice written by an international panel of experts The Wiley International Handbook of Service-Learning for Social Justice offers a review of recent trends in social justice that have been, until recently, marginalized in the field of service-learning. The authors offer a guide for establishing and nurturing social justice in a variety of service-learning programs, and show that incorporating the principles of social justice in service-learning can empower communities to resist and disrupt oppressive power structures, and work for solidarity with host and partner communities. With contributions from an international panel of experts, the...
The Algebraic and Geometric Theory of Quadratic Forms
This book is a comprehensive study of the algebraic theory of quadratic forms, from classical theory to recent developments, including results and proofs that have never been published. The book is written from the viewpoint of algebraic geometry and includes the theory of quadratic forms over fields of characteristic two, with proofs that are characteristic independent whenever possible. For some results both classical and geometric proofs are given. Part I includes classical algebraic theory of quadratic and bilinear forms and answers many questions that have been raised in the early stages of the development of the theory. Assuming only a basic course in algebraic geometry, Part II presents the necessary additional topics from algebraic geometry including the theory of Chow groups, Chow motives, and Steenrod operations. These topics are used in Part III to develop a modern geometric theory of quadratic forms.
Central Simple Algebras and Galois Cohomology
