The publication focuses on pre-service teachers' beliefs as the key prerequisite for teaching mathematics. This construct is considered an inseparable part of the teacher's personality, which needs to be positively shaped during undergraduate training. The theoretical part shows its correlation with other psychological determinants such as motivation, perceived self-efficacy, or attitudes. The construct is also placed in an educational context. The empirical part describes the results of the research and provides specific suggestions for undergraduate teacher training.
Publikace s názvem Reflexe vzdělávacích potřeb učitelů matematiky jako východisko jejich profesního rozvoje je společným dílem autorů z katedry matematiky Pedagogické fakulty UP v Olomouci. Jejich pedagogické přesvědčení a současně společného jmenovatele všech kapitol publikace lze vyjádřit větou: "Mají-li se žáci něčemu naučit, musejí se chtít učit." Kniha je pokusem naznačit možnosti pro uplatnění efektivních instrumentů výuky matematiky v primární i sekundární škole, směřujících k překonávání tradovaného pohledu na matematiku jako nudný, neoblíbený školní předmět. Vědecký charakter monografie je akcentován výstupem rozsáhlého výzkumného šetření, jehož výsledky jsou podrobně zpracovány v úvodní kapitole monografie a autoři s nimi pracují i v navazujících kapitolách.
This open access book presents a comprehensive analysis of biofuel use strategies from an interdisciplinary perspective using sustainability science. This interdisciplinary perspective (social science-natural science) means that the strategies and policy options proposed will have significant impacts on the economy and society alike. Biofuels are expected to contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, revitalizing economies in agricultural communities and alleviating poverty. However, despite these anticipated benefits, international organizations such as the FAO, OECD and UN have published reports expressing concerns that biofuel promotion may lead to deforestation, water pollution and water shortages. The impacts of biofuel use are extensive, cross-sectoral and complex, and as such, comprehensive analyses are required in order to assess the extent to which biofuels can contribute to sustainable societies. Applying interdisciplinary sustainability science concepts and methodologies, the book helps to enhance the establishment of a sustainable society as well as the development of appropriate responses to a global need for urgent action on current issues related to biofuels.
An overview of the different issues in motivation in mathematics. Chapters are included that present both theory and research on the influence of gender, culture, the classroom environment, and curriculum on children's mathematical performance and evaluation.
This volume investigates, both conceptually and empirically, the role of intuition in professional practice and its significance for professional development, especially within the world of education. The relationship between rationale or explicit ways of knowing and learning and inarticulate, intuitive or implicit ones is explored in the context of professional practice and development. The tendency to interpret reflection solely in terms of articulation is questioned and the value of other forms of reflection is reasserted. The working relationship between reason and intuition is illustrated in a variety of case studies in distinctive educational and professional settings. From this reassessment of intuition, practical lessons for the initial training and continuing professional development of educators and others are highlighted and extracted.
This fully revised and updated eighth edition of Peter Westwood’s book offers practical advice and strategies for meeting the challenge of inclusive teaching. Based on the latest international research from the field, it offers practical advice on both new and well-tried evidence-based approaches and strategies for teaching students with a wide range of difficulties. As well as covering special educational needs, learning difficulties, and disabilities in detail, chapters also explore topics such as self-management and autonomy, managing behaviour, and social skills. The book offers sound pedagogical practices and strategies for adapting curriculum content, designing teaching materials, di...
