TEACHING TO USE IN SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS PREVIOUSLY ACQUIRED SKILLS

2016

Goal of the research is to analyse how students currently succeed in using basic skills acquired in mathematics, in science and real-life contexts, before new reforms in Latvia for the development of students' competence have been started. Only about 20% of students in the national testing for 9th grade were able to do it. The research analysed students’ papers, results, and study aids, as well as teacher performance in lessons.

Learning to Teach Mathematics: Expanding the Role of Practicum as an Integrated Part of a Teacher Education Programme

2009

The premise of the 15th ICMI Study is that teachers are key to students' opportunities to learn mathematics. What teachers of mathematics know, care about, and do is a product of their experiences and socialization, together with the impact of their professional education. The Professional Education and Development of Teachers of Mathematics assembles important new international work- development, research, theory and practice - concerning the professional education of teachers of mathematics. As it examines critical areas to reveal what is known and what significant questions and problems warrant collective attention, the volume also contributes to the strengthening of the international co…

Rethinking practices of assessment for learning: Tablet technology supported assessment for learning mathematics

2013

This article discusses assessment for learning in mathematics subjects. It is challenging for teachers of large classes to regularly assess students' mathematics in order to help them improve their learning achievement. Given the complexity of assessing and providing feedback for learning, a new approach to assessment for learning was suggested. Media tablet technology supported assessment processes were devised and user studies were conducted in Norway and Rwanda. There are indications that students like to be involved in assessing each other's mathematics work. Students expect to get learning gains by providing and obtaining feedback to/from their peers using technology supported tools.

Mathematics teachers and digital tools

2016

International audience; This chapter considers mathematics teachers’ appropriation and classroom use of digital tools. The first section considers teachers—who are they, how are they conceived in the literature and what aspects of teachers have been studied? The second section examines twenty-first century research on mathematics teachers using digital tools. This sheds light on the complexity of mathematics teachers’ appropriation and classroom use of digital tools but what we find is that our focus is too narrow and we need to consider digital tools within the range of resources use in planning and realising their lessons, which leads us to the third section, mathematics teachers using re…
