Violence In Mathematics Teaching. Reflections Inspired By Levinas’ Totality And Infinity, Adriano Demattè Jul 2022

Violence In Mathematics Teaching. Reflections Inspired By Levinas’ Totality And Infinity, Adriano Demattè

Journal of Humanistic Mathematics

In mathematics class, violence is carried out in some usually not recognized situations. In this article, I share some reflections on the topic inspired by some passages of Totality and Infinity, work of the French-Lithuanian philosopher Emmanuel Levinas (1906-1995). I find violence by the teacher in not promoting students’ understanding of mathematics, in a distorted use of rhetoric, and in interrupting an ethical relation. This article analyses situations taken from class activities, focusing on the teacher’s presentation of mathematical content and students’ interventions. I also propose that the improvement of interventions in mathematics education is possible and suggest theoretical …


أثر استخدام أسلوب حل المشكلات في تدريس الرياضيات في تنمية الحس العددي لدى طلبة الصف الخامس الأساسي. Effect Of Using Problem Solving Method To Teaching Mathematics On Developing The Number Sense Of Fifth Grade Students, خميس موسى نجم Apr 2022

أثر استخدام أسلوب حل المشكلات في تدريس الرياضيات في تنمية الحس العددي لدى طلبة الصف الخامس الأساسي. Effect Of Using Problem Solving Method To Teaching Mathematics On Developing The Number Sense Of Fifth Grade Students, خميس موسى نجم

Association of Arab Universities Journal for Education and Psychology

هدفت هذه الدراسة إلى الكشف عن أثر استخدام أسلوب حل المشكلات في تدريس الرياضيات في تنمية الحس العددي لدى طلبة الصف الخامس الأساسي. ولتحقيق هذا الغرض، تكونت عينة الدراسة من (175) طالبا وطالبة من طلبة الصف الخامس الأساسي والموزعين على أربع شعب: شعبتان للذكور إحداهما تمثل المجموعة التجريبية والأخرى المجموعة الضابطة، وشعبتان للإناث إحداهما تجريبية والأخرى ضابطة، حيث درست المجموعات التجريبية باستخدام أسلوب حل المشكلات، بينما ست المجموعات الضابطة بالطريقة التقليدية. تكونت أداة القياس من اختبار الحس العددي، وللإجابة عن أسئلة الدراسة واختبار فرضياتها، تم استخدام تحليل التباين الثنائي، حيث أشارت النتائج إلى الأثر الإيجابي لاستخدام أسلوب حل المشكلات في …


Advancing A Democratic Pedagogy And Supervision Framework: An Illustrative Case Of Teacher Questioning In Secondary Mathematics Instruction, Esther A. Enright, Douglas Wieczorek Jan 2022

Advancing A Democratic Pedagogy And Supervision Framework: An Illustrative Case Of Teacher Questioning In Secondary Mathematics Instruction, Esther A. Enright, Douglas Wieczorek

Journal of Educational Supervision

This article pushes back against the evalu-centric view of improvement (Hazi, 2018; 2020) in the supervision literature by advocating for a democratic pedagogy and supervision framework developed to support instructional supervision and evaluation dialogue between teachers and leaders. This democratized approach honors and centers the teacher’s expertise and learning as well as the leader’s in the observation, debrief, and reflection process. Through this decentering of expertise in the instructional supervision cycle, our goal is to build leaders’ and teachers’ mutual capacity to develop, implement, and sustain democratic instructional supervision cultures in classrooms and schools. Additionally, we illustrate our framework through …


Preservice Teachers' Understandings Related To Language In The Mathematics Classroom, Amanda T. Sugimoto Jan 2018

Preservice Teachers' Understandings Related To Language In The Mathematics Classroom, Amanda T. Sugimoto

Northwest Journal of Teacher Education

Mathematics reforms are highlighting the important role that language plays in mathematics education. However, there remains a common misconception that mathematics is somehow language-free. This qualitative study explored 67 elementary preservice teachers’ developing understandings about the role of language in the mathematics classroom based on their practicum experiences. Iterative, open-coding techniques were used to analyze mentor teacher advice and preservice teachers’ observations of mentor teachers teaching a mathematics lesson. The tool helped focus preservice teachers’ attention on language in the mathematics classrooms. Implications are identified for mentor and preservice teachers’ knowledge and skill development toward linguistically responsive teaching practices.


"Returning To The Root" Of The Problem: Improving The Social Condition Of African Americans Through Science And Mathematics Education, Vanessa R. Pitts Bannister, Julius Davis, Jomo Mutegi, Latasha Thompson, Deborah Lewis Apr 2017

"Returning To The Root" Of The Problem: Improving The Social Condition Of African Americans Through Science And Mathematics Education, Vanessa R. Pitts Bannister, Julius Davis, Jomo Mutegi, Latasha Thompson, Deborah Lewis

Catalyst: A Social Justice Forum

The underachievement and underrepresentation of African Americans in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) disciplines have been well documented. Efforts to improve the STEM education of African Americans continue to focus on relationships between teaching and learning and factors such as culture, race, power, class, learning preferences, cultural styles and language. Although this body of literature is deemed valuable, it fails to help STEM teacher educators and teachers critically assess other important factors such as pedagogy and curriculum. In this article, the authors argue that both pedagogy and curriculum should be centered on the social condition of African Americans – …


The "Concept Teaching" Game: A Rationale, Hal Melnick Jan 2016

The "Concept Teaching" Game: A Rationale, Hal Melnick

Thought and Practice: (1987-1991) the Journal of the Graduate School of Bank Street College of Education

Teachers recognize the importance of motivation in successful children's learning and are looking for approaches to mathematics teaching that promote strong, positive feelings toward the subject. Thus, learning games have once again become part of the instructional repertoire.


Conceptualising Changes To Pre-Service Teachers’ Knowledge Of How To Best Facilitate Learning In Mathematics: A Tpack Inspired Initiative, Frank G. Bate, Lorraine Day, Jean Macnish May 2013

Conceptualising Changes To Pre-Service Teachers’ Knowledge Of How To Best Facilitate Learning In Mathematics: A Tpack Inspired Initiative, Frank G. Bate, Lorraine Day, Jean Macnish

Australian Journal of Teacher Education

In 2010, the Australian Commonwealth government initiated an $8m project called Teaching Teachers for the Future. The aim of the project was to engage teacher educators in a professional learning network which focused on optimising exemplary use of information and communications technologies in teacher education. By taking part in this network, participants were afforded opportunities to transform their practice through a range of localised initiatives that applied information and communications technologies to the art and science of teaching and learning. One of these initiatives involved re-engineering a university mathematics unit targeted at pre-service teachers. Information and communications technologies were purposefully …


Analysis On The Applications Of Information Technology In Mathematics Classroom Teaching And Its Correlation With Students’ Mathematics Achievements In China, Yi Zhan, Jing Li, Mei Wang, Youqun Ren, Hong Chen Jun 2012

Analysis On The Applications Of Information Technology In Mathematics Classroom Teaching And Its Correlation With Students’ Mathematics Achievements In China, Yi Zhan, Jing Li, Mei Wang, Youqun Ren, Hong Chen

Journal of Educational Technology Development and Exchange (JETDE)

On account of the question of “how can teachers facilitate learning more efficiently with the help of information technology,” this research is going to probe into the application of information technology in mathematics classroom teaching and its correlation with students’ mathematics achievements in China. It is established in the data from “Research on the Relationship between Learning and Curriculum,” a program funded by Ministry of Education of China, that technology in mathematics education is important. Through the analysis of data, this research first describes how sampling teachers apply information technology in mathematics classroom teaching (including playing PPT lecture notes, using …
