Abstract

In dit boek bespreken de auteurs de soorten reken-stoornissen die kinderen kunnen hebben en hoe deze rekenproblemen kunnen worden onderzocht. Kinderen met dyscalculie hebben vaak een flinke weerzin tegen rekenen. Het is belangrijk dat het rekenen voor hen weer leuk wordt. Er worden veel tips en adviezen gegeven, en rekenmaterialen genoemd die goed inzetbaar zijn. In Kinderen met dyscalculie bespreken de auteurs de soorten rekenstoornissen die kinderen kunnen hebben en hoe deze rekenproblemen kunnen worden aangepakt. Kinderen met dyscalculie hebben vaak een flinke weerzin tegen rekenen. Het is dan ook belangrijk dat het rekenen voor hen weer leuk wordt. (Bron: covertekst)

Abstract

The picture on the front of this book is an illustration for Totakahini: The tale of the parrot, by Rabindranath Tagore, in which he satirized education as a magnificent golden cage. Opening the cage addresses mathematics education as a complex socio-political phenomenon, exploring the vast terrain that spans critique and politics. Opening the cage includes contributions from educators writing critically about mathematics education in diverse contexts. They demonstrate that mathematics education is politics, they investigate borderland positions, they address the nexus of mathematics, education, and power, and they explore educational possibilities. Mathematics education is not a free enterprise. It is carried on behind bars created by economic, political, and social demands. This cage might not be as magnificent as that in Tagore’s fable. But it is strong. Opening the cage is a critical and political challenge, and we may be surprised to see what emerges.

Abstract

What does it mean to know mathematics? How does meaning in mathematics education connect to common sense or to the meaning of mathematics itself? How are meanings constructed and communicated and what are the dilemmas related to these processes? There are many answers to these questions, some of which might appear to be contradictory. Thus understanding the complexity of meaning in mathematics education is a matter of huge importance. There are twin directions in which discussions have developed—theoretical and practical—and this book seeks to move the debate forward along both dimensions while seeking to relate them where appropriate. A discussion of meaning can start from a theoretical examination of mathematics and how mathematicians over time have made sense of their work. However, from a more practical perspective, anybody involved in teaching mathematics is faced with the need to orchestrate the myriad of meanings derived from multiple sources that students develop of mathematical knowledge. This book presents a wide variety of theoretical reflections and research results about meaning in mathematics and mathematics education based on long-term and collective reflection by the group of authors as a whole. It is the outcome of the work of the BACOMET (BAsic COmponents of Mathematics Education for Teachers) group who spent several years deliberating on this topic. The ten chapters in this book, both separately and together, provide a substantial contribution to clarifying the complex issue of meaning in mathematics education. This book is of interest to researchers in mathematics education, graduate students of mathematics education, under graduate students in mathematics, secondary mathematics teachers and primary teachers with an interest in mathematics.

Abstract

The Construction of New Mathematical Knowledge in Classroom Interaction deals with the very specific characteristics of mathematical communication in the classroom. The general research question of this book is: How can everyday mathematics teaching be described, understood and developed as a teaching and learning environment in which the students gain mathematical insights and increasing mathematical competence by means of the teacher’s initiatives, offers and challenges? How can the ‘quality’ of mathematics teaching be realized and appropriately described? And the following more specific research question is investigated: How is new mathematical knowledge interactively constructed in a typical instructional communication among students together with the teacher? In order to answer this question, an attempt is made to enter as in-depth as possible under the surface of the visible phenomena of the observable everyday teaching events. In order to do so, theoretical views about mathematical knowledge and communication are elaborated. The careful qualitative analyses of several episodes of mathematics teaching in primary school is based on an epistemologically oriented analysis Steinbring has developed over the last years and applied to mathematics teaching of different grades. The book offers a coherent presentation and a meticulous application of this fundamental research method in mathematics education that establishes a reciprocal relationship between everyday classroom communication and epistemological conditions of mathematical knowledge constructed in interaction.

Abstract

Exploring Probability in School provides a new perspective into research on the teaching and learning of probability. It creates this perspective by recognizing and analysing the special challenges faced by teachers and learners in contemporary classrooms where probability has recently become a mainstream part of the curriculum from early childhood through high school. The authors of the book discuss the nature of probability, look at the meaning of probabilistic literacy, and examine student access to powerful ideas in probability during the elementary, middle, and high school years. Moreover, they assemble and analyse research-based pedagogical knowledge for teachers that can enhance the learning of probability throughout these school years. With the book’s rich application of probability research to classroom practice, it will not only be essential reading for researchers and graduate students involved in probability education; it will also capture the interest of educational policy makers, curriculum personnel, teacher educators, and teachers.

Abstract

Dyslexie en Dyscalculie: ernstige problemen in het leren lezen en rekenen A.J.J.M. Ruijssenaars en P. Ghesquière (red.) Recente ontwikkelingen in onderkenning en aanpak In het onderwijs leven veel vragen omtrent de onderkenning en aanpak van hardnekkige problemen in het leren lezen, spellen en rekenen. Zowel in theorie en onderzoek als in de uitwerking van de klinische praktijk ontstaat meer en meer consensus over de noodzaak van een taakgerichte aanpak. Kinderen met dyslexie en/of dyscalculie vragen van meet af aan om een verantwoorde diagnostiek en een zeer bewuste opbouw van het leerproces.In deze bundel gaan Nederlandse en Vlaamse auteurs in op actuele thema's, discussies en recente ontwikkelingen, zoals diagnostiek van dyslexie en het opstellen van een dyslexieverklaring (Henneman & Kleijnen; Van den Broeck), effectieve remediëring en behandeling van leesproblemen (Verhoeven; Vonk & Bakker), de impact van leerstoornissen op latere leeftijd (Ruijssenaars & Ghesquière), metacognitie en leerproblemen (Minnaert), jonge kinderen en rekenproblemen (Van Luit), rekenstrategieën van sterke en zwakke leerlingen (Torbeyns, Verschaffel & Ghesquière) en de behandeling van rekenproblemen (Van Lieshout).

Abstract

Based on lecture notes of two summer schools with a mixed audience from mathematical sciences, epidemiology and public health, this volume offers a comprehensive introduction to basic ideas and techniques in modeling infectious diseases, for the comparison of strategies to plan for an anticipated epidemic or pandemic, and to deal with a disease outbreak in real time. It covers detailed case studies for diseases including pandemic influenza, West Nile virus, and childhood diseases. Models for other diseases including Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, fox rabies, and sexually transmitted infections are included as applications. Its chapters are coherent and complementary independent units. In order to accustom students to look at the current literature and to experience different perspectives, no attempt has been made to achieve united writing style or unified notation. Notes on some mathematical background (calculus, matrix algebra, differential equations, and probability) have been prepared and may be downloaded at the web site of the Centre for Disease Modeling (www.cdm.yorku.ca ).
