Este livro é lançado no ano em que o curso de doutorado em Ensino de Ciências e Matemática completa dez anos. A obra reúne textos de pesquisadores renomados nacional e internacionalmente. Os capítulos são resultados de projetos de pesquisa, realizados nos últimos 10 anos, dedicados a questões do Ensino de Ciências e Matemática. Os textos tratam de fundamentações teóricas contemporâneas, novos modelos de ensino e aprendizagem propostos e testados e relações entre professores e alunos. O livro contribui na formação de novos pesquisadores e formadores de professores e, sem dúvida, representa contribuição importante na área de Ensino de Ciências e Matemática. Tania Cristina Pithon-Curi Pró-reitora de pós-graduação e pesquisa da Universidade Cruzeiro do Sul

This book presents, for the first time in English, the state of the art of Mathematics Education research in Brazil, a country that has the strongest community in this field in Latin America. Edited by leading researchers in the area, the volume provides the international academic community a summary of the scientific production of the thirteen working groups of the Brazilian Society of Mathematics Education (SBEM), the national scientific society that brings together researchers, teachers, students and other professionals of the area. These working groups meet every three years at the International Seminar of Mathematics Education (SIPEM) and cover the following topics: Mathematics Educatio...
This book offers a counterpart to the extensive corpus of literature available on the same topic from a Western perspective. It showcases innovative approaches to professional development of mathematics teachers in Asian countries, and reports on both empirical and expository studies of teachers’ professional development in these counties. It provides scholars from non-English-speaking and under-represented Asian countries the opportunity to engage in discourse with other scholars in the field, and is the first book to present substantial contributions from scholars in Asia on the professional development of mathematics teachers in their respective countries. It includes perspectives that shed valuable light on how the approaches pursued in Asian countries resemble or differ from those in the West.
Mathematics is traditionally seen as the most neutral of disciplines, the furthest removed from the arguments and controversy of politics and social life. However, critical mathematics challenges these assumptions and actively attacks the idea that mathematics is pure, objective, and value?neutral. It argues that history, society, and politics have shaped mathematics—not only through its applications and uses but also through molding its concepts, methods, and even mathematical truth and proof, the very means of establishing truth. Critical mathematics education also attacks the neutrality of the teaching and learning of mathematics, showing how these are value?laden activities indissolubl...
This volume, the first of three volumes describing the major facets of Ancient Egyptian Science, concentrates on the origin and development of hieroglyphic writing, the scribal profession, and quasi-learned institutions in ancient Egypt. Professor Clagett has paid particular attention to the so-called Palermo Stone, the earliest annals composed in Eygpt.
This book will address the discussion on online distance education, teacher education, and how the mathematics is transformed with the Internet, based on examples that illustrate the possibilities of different course models and on the theoretical construct humans-with-media.
For millennia' humankind has searched for an intellectual Holy Grail - a unifying theory to explain the origins of the universe and our place in it. Our greatest minds' from Pythagoras and Aristotle to Galileo' Newton and Einstein' have explained the universe in terms of symmetry' harmony and order. Yet despite their best efforts' a 'theory of everything' has remained elusive' and for good reason. In Imperfect Creation' Marcelo Gleiser argues that there is no grand plan' cosmic blueprint or overarching explanation for our existence. In fact' the latest evidence reveals that not only are there imperfections in the fabric of the universe - they are the driving' creative forces behind its very ...
