Abstract

"The author considers homomorphisms H to K from an affine group scheme H over a field k of characteristic zero to a proreductive group K. Using a general categorical splitting theorem, Andrâe and Kahn proved that for every H there exists such a homomorphism which is universal up to conjugacy. The author gives a purely group-theoretic proof of this result. The classical Jacobson-Morosov theorem is the particular case where H is the additive group over k. As well as universal homomorphisms, the author considers more generally homomorphisms H to K which are minimal, in the sense that H to K factors through no proper proreductive subgroup of K. For fixed H, it is shown that the minimal H to K with K reductive are parametrised by a scheme locally of finite type over k."--Publisher's description.

Abstract

These new studies of Wittgenstein's 'Tractatus' represent a significant step beyond recent polemical debate. They cover a wide range of themes, and show that close investigation into the composition of the work, and into the various influences on it has much to yield in revealing the complexity and fertility of Wittgenstein's early thought.

Abstract

Using classroom mathematics tasks to support student learning is the topic of this timely volume. Employing research-based data, the authors focus on teacher practice as well as teacher and student learning and knowledge creation to demonstrate the use of mathematics tasks which promote effective student understanding. Unique in the field, the book provides a thorough, comprehensive guide to the nature of tasks for researchers, teacher educators, curriculum designers, administrators and teachers. Chapters on the effective implementation of mathematics tasks in the classroom, distinct pedagogical concepts related to teaching with mathematics tasks, and sample lessons that clearly demonstrate successful uses for mathematics tasks in the classroom are included.  The book is designed to provide a mix of cutting-edge data on task use with concrete examples of successful tasks and implementation tactics.  All of the lesson plans and illustrative examples provided have been extensively evaluated and tested in actual learning situations and feature specific suggestions for combating student difficulties and promoting solution pathways. This is a book that is essential for anyone hoping to understand both the importance of mathematics tasks for enhancing student learning and ways in which mathematics tasks can be applied in the classroom to achieve learning goals and objectives.     .

Abstract

Teacher education seeks to transform prospective and/or practicing teachers from neophyte possibly uncritical perspectives on teaching and learning to more knowledgeable, adaptable, analytic, insightful, observant, resourceful, reflective and confident professionals ready to address whatever challenges teaching secondary mathematics presents. This transformation occurs optimally through constructive engagement in tasks that foster knowledge for teaching secondary mathematics. Ideally such tasks provide a bridge between theory and practice, and challenge, surprise, disturb, confront, extend, or provoke examination of alternatives, drawn from the context of teaching. We define tasks as the problems or activities that, having been developed, evaluated and refined over time, are posed to teacher education participants. Such participants are expected to engage in these tasks collaboratively, energetically, and intellectually with an open mind and an orientation to future practice. The tasks might be similar to those used by classroom teachers (e.g., the analysis of a graphing problem) or idiosyncratic to teacher education (e.g., critique of videotaped practice). This edited volume includes chapters based around unifying themes of tasks used in secondary mathematics teacher education. These themes reflect goals for mathematics teacher education, and are closely related to various aspects of knowledge required for teaching secondary mathematics. They are not based on the conventional content topics of teacher education (e.g., decimals, grouping practices), but on broad goals such as adaptability, identifying similarities, productive disposition, overcoming barriers, micro simulations, choosing tools, and study of practice. This approach is innovative and appeals both to prominent authors and to our target audiences. This book may inspire researchers who engage in the study of design principles and characteristics of productive tasks for secondary mathematics teacher education.

Abstract

"This book describes research undertaken by leading Australian researcher in Indigenous communities. While the chapters are Australian in their focus, the issues that are discussed are similar to those in other countries where there are indigenous people. In most cases, in Australia and internationally, Indigenous learners are not succeeding in school, thus making the transition into work and adulthood quite tenuous in terms of mainstream measures. The importance of being literate and numerate are critical in success in school and life in general, thus making this collection an important contribution to the international literature. The collection of works describes a wide range of projects where the focus has been on improving the literacy and numeracy outcomes for Indigenous students. The chapters take various approaches to improving these outcomes, and have very different foci. These foci include aspects of literacy, numeracy, curriculum  leadership, ICTs, whole school planning, policy, linguistics and Indigenous perspectives. Most of the chapters report on large scale projects that have used some innovation in their focus. The book draws together these projects so that a more connected sense of the complexities and diversity of approaches can be gleaned."--

Abstract

This book explores how professionals can engage and inspire parents to support their young children’s mathematics learning. Bringing together international experts, researchers and scholars, it proposes a framework for engaging with and supporting parents, including those who are less aware of the crucial development of children’s mathematical skills in the early years. Focusing on mathematics learning from birth to 5 years, the book’s underlying assumption is that it is possible to offer guidance to professionals working with families with young children concerning how to engage and support families in the area of mathematics learning, including those families who seem alienated from education services. Specifically, the respective chapters present a framework for understanding children’s early mathematical development and the important role of families in this regard. They describe effective strategies for engaging families in their children’s mathematics learning, including those who are marginalised and experience multiple disadvantages, so that all families can best support their children’s mathematical learning and their development of positive attitudes towards learning. In closing, hurdles and opportunities within the systems surrounding family engagement are addressed.

Abstract

What was it like being a lay Catholic in Belgium or Ireland before the Second Vatican Council? How much initiative or responsibility did you have doing apostolic work? How much direction were you expected to take from the clergy? To answer these questions, what two lay apostolic groups and one central figure stated about laypeople will be examined. The handbooks and manuals of the Legion of Mary and the Jeunesse Ouvrière Chrétienne will be compared with the writings of Cardinal Léon-Joseph Suenens. As bishop where the Jeunesse Ouvrière Chrétienne began and someone very close to the Legion of Mary, he will be a point of intersection to study. What he wrote will be important, because of his presence at the Second Vatican Council. The ideas expressed in the manuals and handbooks of the lay apostolic groups, and the books of Suenens would progress, diverge and intertwine. During the synod on synodality, we can look at the evolving visions and history of how laypeople were to work with initiative and responsibility in the church. To be able to define Suenens’ vision of the lay apostolate and compare it with parallel movements, the normative texts of the Legion of Mary and the Jeunesse Ouvrière Chrétienne and two key books of Suenens will be examined, compared and put into timelines showing the progression of ideas through all three. In each text, the question will be posed on how much initiative and responsibility a layperson was expected to have vis-à-vis the clergy when they were doing apostolic work. The first chapter will describe the social and religious context of 1920s Europe, the decade in which the Legion of Mary and the Jeunesse Ouvrière Chrétienne were founded. What religious trends were happening at this time and how industrialisation was affecting the working class will be noted to know something of the audience the handbooks and manuals were written for. The handbooks of the Legion of Mary, from 1937 to 1965, will be chronologically analysed showing how paragraphs and sections were removed or added to form a judgement of how their vision of the lay apostolate was evolving. They explicitly demanded deference to the priest’s judgements as their spiritual director. The manuals of the Jeunesse Ouvrière Chrétienne, from 1925 to 1930 for the male and female branches, will be analysed, seeing how parts were changed and new terminology introduced to describe how they foresaw the lay apostolate operating and the priest as chaplain assisting them in their mission. Lastly, two books by Suenens will be compared to each other, noticing how ideas progressed between them, before comparing them with all of the previous handbooks and manuals. By analysing them on four themes, the objectives of the lay apostolate, the religious imagery used, the role of the priest and the definition of the lay apostolate, one can observe how the three series of books coincided and differed over time. In conclusion, one can see Suenens’ vision of the lay apostolate moving from one closer to the legion to another closer to the Jeunesse Ouvrière Chrétienne. He went from one where the priest gave direction to another where the priest guaranteed the autonomy of the layperson in apostolic work, not impeding them. In addition, the importance of the handbooks and manuals will be shown, for exploring their histories and for enlightening us on the possibilities of laypeople taking responsibility in the Catholic Church today.
