Towards a characterization of explanations in mathematics textbooks
2013
This work is part of a broader study which aims to examine the relation between explanation and proof in teachers’ practices and the way in which this relation emerges from the texts in the mathematics schoolbooks. Our hypothesis is that explanation and proof share some of their characterizing parameters and this makes possible an overlapping of meaning which favors a switch of roles during teaching/learning activities. First results from textbooks analysis are presented pointing out remarkable features of explanation arisen to date.
Specificità femminili e maschili. Opinioni e aspettative di insegnanti di scuola secondaria di primo e secondo grado
2017
Le recenti ricerche psicologiche, pedagogiche e didattiche hanno accertato che gli alunni e le alunne apprendono e si comportano a scuola in modo diverso e che la probabilità di successo nello studio aumenta, per entrambi i sessi, quando gli insegnanti, nella loro attività didattica, tengono presenti le peculiarità maschili e femminili. È avvertita pertanto l’esigenza di studiare e diffondere le migliori esperienze didattiche sul modo pedagogicamente più valido di insegnare alle donne e agli uomini. In questa ricerca abbiamo voluto conoscere le opinioni di 232 docenti dell’ultimo anno di scuola secondaria di primo grado e dei primi due anni di scuola secondaria di secondo grado di tutte le …

The results show that the students’ understanding of professionalism was multifaceted, and they had gained several experiences of professionalism during the course. One of the main results of this study is, in our opinion, the co-operation and the opportunities the intensive course afforded the students in developing skills to work together with different …

For the purpose of this paper, the responsible use of ICT includes privacy issues, cyberbullying and the ability to evaluate digital content. We examine Spanish and Norwegian student teachers' perceived competence in priva…
