MaT²SMC: materials for teaching together: science andmMathematics teachers collaborating for better results

2016

Let us start with an important statement: Mathematics and Science teachers do a good, and often an outstanding, job in teaching young people the basic knowledge of their respective fields! It is not the intent of this book to criticize what they do or how they do it. Keeping that in mind, and noting the fact that the teaching content of these fields intersects and overlaps, we observed – and this took us by surprise – that there is hardly any collaboration or consultancy between mathematics and science teachers (or textbook authors). Mathematics teachers often use science contexts in tasks, and science teachers often use mathematics, however they are usually working independently. Science c…

Un'esperienza di insegnamento in Spagna

2019

Nell’ambito del corso di 30 ore di Orientación socioprofesional, 30 studenti dell’Università di Navarra (Pamplona) iscritti al corso di studi quinquennale in Pedagogía y Educación Primaria hanno partecipato, tra il 4 marzo e il 4 aprile 2019, a due attività formative: un laboratorio basato sull’insegnamento reciproco e sei sessioni di scrittura espressiva. L’intervento formativo mirava a smorzare la situazione di stress da sovraccarico di studio in cui si trovavano gli studenti e a promuovere in loro il senso di autoefficacia. Within the 30-hours course of Orientación socioprofesional, 30 students of University of Navarra (Pamplona) enrolled in the five-years degree in Peda- gogía y Educaci…

The political and military struggle to incorporate Greater Poland into Poland after World War i, in history textbooks the Case of Polish High School …

2022

The vast majority oj historians view school history education as extremely important. They emphasise that it plays a key role not only in shaping young people s knowledge about the past, but also in defining the historical awareness of the whole ofsociety, because ofiten what students learn at school determines their lijelong knowledge about many historical issues. Unfortunately, awareness o f these obvious statements dpes not go hand in hand with respect for the achievements of history didactics. This is a scientific discipline in which one of the most important research areas is the analysis of school history textbooks, which are still basie sources of students’ knowledge about the past, …

Healthcare Waste Management: What do the Health Workers in a Nigerian Tertiary Hospital Know and Practice

2015

Introduction: Healthcare waste is any solid or liquid waste that is generated in the diagnosis, treatment or immunization of human beings or animals, in research pertaining thereto, or in production or testing of biologicals. Mismanagement of healthcare waste poses risks to people and the environment. Improving the standards of healthcare waste management protects the health and safety of healthcare workers, patients, visitors to healthcare facilities and the general public. This study was carried out to determine the knowledge and practice of healthcare waste management by the healthcare workers in Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital Nnewi, Nigeria. Methods: This was a cross-sectio…

Diseño e implementación de una secuencia de enseñanza para introducir los conceptos de sustancia y compuesto químico

2012

Este estudio propone la implementación de una secuencia didáctica para facilitar el aprendizaje de los conceptos de sustancia, sustancia simple y compuesto en educación secundaria. Para su elaboración se ha partido del análisis histórico y las concepciones alternativas más frecuentes de los estudiantes respecto a estos conceptos. Su evaluación se ha realizado mediante un estudio comparativo entre grupos de alumnos que la han utilizado en clase y grupos que han seguido un método de enseñanza tradicional. Los resultados muestran que la selección de contenidos y las estrategias utilizadas en una secuencia de enseñanza de orientación constructivista ofrece a los estudiantes mayor capacidad de a…

Toward a model for students’ combinatorial thinking

2021

Abstract Combinatorics has many applications in different disciplines, however, only a few studies have explored students’ combinatorial thinking at the upper secondary and tertiary levels concurrently. The present research is a grounded theory study of eight Year 12 and five undergraduate students, who have participated in semi-structured interviews and responded to eight combinatorial tasks. Three types of combinatorial tasks were designed: combinatorial reasoning, evaluating, and problem-posing tasks. In the open coding phase of data analysis, seventy-one codes were identified which categorized into seven main categories at the axial coding phase. At the selective coding phase, five rela…

Critical alignment in inquiry-based practice in developing mathematics teaching

2013

Published version of an article in the journal: Educational Studies in Mathematics. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10649-013-9489-z This paper reports a case study from a mathematics teaching developmental research project. The theoretical foundation for the research comprises communities of inquiry and critical alignment, with which the developmental methodology has a particular synergy. This synergy is the main focus of the paper. The paper elaborates theoretical and methodological antecedents of the project and traces these through a case study of developments in the practices of one upper secondary school team and a group of university didacticians (mat…

LEADING SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS TO FACE THE DISCIPLINARY, EPISTEMOLOGICAL AND SOCIETAL CHALLENGES OF CLIMATE CHANGE: DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF MULTI-D…

The scientific community has been debating climate change (CC) for over two decades. In the light of certain arguments put forward by the aforesaid community, the EU has recommended a set of innovative reforms to science teaching, such as incorporating environmental issues into the scientific curriculum, thereby helping to make schools a place of civic education. However, despite these European recommendations, relatively little emphasis is still given to climate change within science curricula. The main goal of the research project described in this thesis is to study if, how and why the scientific contents related to CC could be reconstructed so as to integrate the many dimensions involve…

Determining your own grade – Student perceptions on self-assessment in a large mathematics course

2018

International audience; In our poster, we report on students' perceptions on self-assessment in large undergraduate course context taught with the DISA model (Digital Self-Assessment) in which the final exam is replaced by self-assessment. The students found that practising self-assessment skills was valuable and encouraged them to study for themselves. At the same time, self-assessment was considered unfamiliar and therefore difficult. We argue that the DISA model encouraged students to take more responsibility on their own learning.

Educational dialogue among teachers experiencing different levels of self-efficacy

2021

This study examines the occurrence and quality of educational dialogue in the Grade 1 classrooms of teachers with low, moderate and high self-efficacy beliefs. Video recordings of 24 teachers were analysed based on episodes of educational dialogue and were categorised with respect to patterns of dialogic teaching. Teachers with low levels of self-efficacy conducted educational dialogue the least; they also used less teacher-initiated, high-quality dialogue compared with moderate and high self-efficacy teachers. Teachers with high self-efficacy utilised more child-initiated high-quality dialogue compared with the moderate self-efficacy teachers. The findings are important because they provid…
