Il testo del volume è il prodotto di un percorso di ricerca biennale realizzato in collaborazione internazionale con la UNED di Madrid e le istituzioni educative coinvolte nel percorso di studio e analisi con l'obiettivo di migliorare l'apprendimento degli alunni in matematica, partendo dalle questioni sollevate a livello nazionale dai risultati Invalsi nel primo biennio della scuola secondaria di secondo grado. Vengono qui proposte, elaborate e applicate distinte strategie di insegnamento orientante alla scoperta della matematica, all'uso segnico e alla formazione docente destinata al miglioramento dell'apprendimento degli studenti e alla riprogettazione dell'ambiente classe. La proposta metodologica è fondata sullo studio sperimentale di campo, secondo il percorso di ricerca chiamato "Metodo 360". La proposta del volume nasce dalla necessità di dibattere, comprendere e analizzare criticamente l'applicazione della matematica nei diversi momenti educativi e formativi. Così la comprensione e l'interpretazione del codice numerico che con le sue grammatiche richiede nuove riletture fondamentale sui contesti cambianti e le continue richieste del contesto pedagogico.
The Routledge Handbook of Anthropology and Reproduction is a comprehensive overview of the topics, approaches, and trajectories in the anthropological study of human reproduction. The book brings together work from across the discipline of anthropology, with contributions by established and emerging scholars in archaeological, biological, linguistic, and sociocultural anthropology. Across these areas of research, consideration is given to the contexts, conditions, and contingencies that mark and shape the experiences of reproduction as always gendered, classed, and racialized. Over 39 chapters, a diverse range of international scholars cover topics including: Reproductive governance, stratif...
Females consistently score lower than males on standardized tests of mathematics - yet no such differences exist in the classroom. These differences are not trivial, nor are they insignificant. Test scores help determine entrance to college and graduate school and therefore, by extension, a person's job and future success. If females receive lower test scores then they also receive fewer opportunities. Why does this discrepancy exist? This book presents a series of papers that address these issues by integrating the latest research findings and theories. Authors such as Diane Halpern, Jacquelynne Eccles, Beth Casey, Ronald Nuttal, James Byrnes, and Frank Pajares tackle these questions from a variety of perspectives. Many different branches of psychology are represented, including cognitive, social, personality/self-oriented, and psychobiological. The editors then present an integrative chapter that discusses the ideas presented and other areas that the field should explore.
This volume presents theoretical, methodological, and empirical advances in understanding, and also in the effects of understanding, individual and societal values.
A term with myriad associations, revolution is commonly understood in its intellectual, historical, and sociopolitical contexts. Until now, almost no attention has been paid to revolution and questions of geography. Geography and Revolution examines the ways that place and space matter in a variety of revolutionary situations. David N. Livingstone and Charles W. J. Withers assemble a set of essays that are themselves revolutionary in uncovering not only the geography of revolutions but the role of geography in revolutions. Here, scientific revolutions—Copernican, Newtonian, and Darwinian—ordinarily thought of as placeless, are revealed to be rooted in specific sites and spaces. Technical...
A growing body of evidence from economic studies shows areas where appropriate policies can generate health and other benefits at an affordable cost, sometimes reducing health expenditure and helping to redress health inequalities at the same time.
