Maximizing The Impact Of Professional Development For Earth Science Teachers, W. M. Frazier, D. R. Sterling Jan 2008

Maximizing The Impact Of Professional Development For Earth Science Teachers, W. M. Frazier, D. R. Sterling

Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations

This study examines the extent to which follow-up sessions can provide support for earth science teachers as they apply what they learn from professional development coursework during the academic year with their own students. Data include direct observation of follow-up sessions of courses for teachers; interviews with course co-instructors and teacher participants; and, document analysis of teacher products with a focus on the lesson plans, laboratory/activity sheets for students, and virtual field trips that teacher participants submitted and shared during follow-up sessions. Strategies are recommended to assist earth science content faculty in increasing the impact of their work with teachers …

"Spotlight On Earth Science" Symposium: An Overview, E. Pyle

Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations

On September 18-19, 2006, James Madison University (JMU) hosted a one and half day symposium entitled, “Spotlight on Earth Science,” highlighting current resources and technology available for earth science teachers, and invited teachers to share effective practices learned in their program coursework through the two Mathematics and Science Partnerships (MSP) funded by the Virginia Department of Education. The symposium supported a pooling of expertise among participants to initiate the definition and resolution of the persistent issues in earth science education in Virginia. A total of ninety-six teachers, university faculty, curriculum supervisors, policymakers, and business/government/industrial representatives participated. Three themes were addressed: …


The Kaprekar Routine And Other Digit Games For Undergraduate Exploration, K. Peterson, H. Pulapaka Jan 2008

The Kaprekar Routine And Other Digit Games For Undergraduate Exploration, K. Peterson, H. Pulapaka

Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations

The Kaprekar Routine is a famous mathematical procedure involving the digits of a positive integer. This paper offers natural generalizations of the routine, states and proves related results, and presents many open problems that are suitable for mathematical research at the undergraduate level. In the process, we shed light on some interesting facts about digit games.

An Appraisal Of The Criticisms Of Educational Research In Recent Years, Sherwin Rodrigues Jan 2008

An Appraisal Of The Criticisms Of Educational Research In Recent Years, Sherwin Rodrigues

Institute for Educational Development, Karachi

According to Hodkinson (2001) educational research in the UK has been passing through "a crisis of confidence" in the last decade as a result of several attacks upon its quality. The scope of this paper is to briefly highlight these „attacks‟ on educational research and then focus on one of its primary criticisms for an in-depth analysis. I mainly draw upon the work of Hargreaves (1996), Hammersley (1997) and Hillage, Pearson, Anderson and Tamkin (1998) but allude to other sources as well.

Faculty Work

Mathematics teachers are concerned with incorporating connections with other academic areas in their mathematics curriculum. Social science provides a rich source of data which can be collected, organized, and interpreted by mathematics students. These data become of particular interest to many students if they involve political questions and processes.

The Square Root Of I, Tiffany Lothrop Jan 2008

The Square Root Of I, Tiffany Lothrop

Department of Mathematics: Master of Arts in Teaching, Exam Expository Papers

While Girolamo Cardano was working on solving cubic and quadratic equations in 1539, he encountered some formulas that involved square roots of negative numbers. In 1545 Cardano published Ars Magna, where he presents the first recorded calculations that involve complex numbers. Then in 1572, Rafael Bombelli published the first three parts of his Algebra. He is known as the inventor of complex numbers, because he identifies some rules for working with them. Bombelli also shows how complex numbers are very important and useful. From Bombelli’s list of rules for adding, subtracting and multiplying the complex numbers, he was able to …
