The Political and Social Dynamics of Poverty, Poor Relief and Health Care in Early-Modern Portugal
By the end of the fifteenth century most European counties had witnessed a profound reformation of their poor relief and health care policies. As this book demonstrates, Portugal was among them and actively participated in such reforms. Providing the first English language monograph on this this topic, Laurinda Abreu examines the Portuguese experience and places it within the broader European context. She shows that, in line with much that was happening throughout the rest of Europe, Portugal had not only set up a systematic reform of the hospitals but had also developed new formal arrangements for charitable and welfare provision that responded to the changing socioeconomic framework, the n...
Youngsters Solving Mathematical Problems with Technology
This book contributes to both mathematical problem solving and the communication of mathematics by students, and the role of personal and home technologies in learning beyond school. It does this by reporting on major results and implications of the Problem@Web project that investigated youngsters’ mathematical problem solving and, in particular, their use of digital technologies in tackling, and communicating the results of their problem solving, in environments beyond school. The book has two focuses: Mathematical problem solving skills and strategies, forms of representing and expressing mathematical thinking, technological-based solutions; and students ́ and teachers ́ perspectives on mathematics learning, especially school compared to beyond-school mathematics.
The Portuguese in Canada
Even though the Portuguese are relatively new to Canada, they have made major contributions to the cultural mosaic of the country. Containing many new essays, this second edition of The Portuguese in Canada updates the work that filled a gap in the scholarly literature of multiculturalism in Canada. The contributors come from a variety of disciplines - anthropology, geography, history, literature, linguistics, sociology, and urban planning - and are from Portugal, Canada and the United States. Essays examine the history of the Portuguese diaspora, the Portuguese presence in Newfoundland and its fisheries, language and identity, urban experiences (especially in Montreal and Toronto), and history and literature. This second edition of The Portuguese in Canada conveys the multi-faceted contributions the Portuguese have made to Canada and considers possible future growth and development of Portuguese-Canadian culture and heritage.
Broadening the Scope of Research on Mathematical Problem Solving
The innovative volume seeks to broaden the scope of research on mathematical problem solving in different educational environments. It brings together contributions not only from leading researchers, but also highlights collaborations with younger researchers to broadly explore mathematical problem-solving across many fields: mathematics education, psychology of education, technology education, mathematics popularization, and more. The volume’s three major themes—technology, creativity, and affect—represent key issues that are crucially embedded in the activity of problem solving in mathematics teaching and learning, both within the school setting and beyond the school. Through the book’s new pedagogical perspectives on these themes, it advances the field of research towards a more comprehensive approach on mathematical problem solving. Broadening the Scope of Research on Mathematical Problem Solving will prove to be a valuable resource for researchers and teachers interested in mathematical problem solving, as well as researchers and teachers interested in technology, creativity, and affect.
The Proceedings of the 12th International Congress on Mathematical Education
This book comprises the Proceedings of the 12th International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME-12), which was held at COEX in Seoul, Korea, from July 8th to 15th, 2012. ICME-12 brought together 3500 experts from 92 countries, working to understand all of the intellectual and attitudinal challenges in the subject of mathematics education as a multidisciplinary research and practice. This work aims to serve as a platform for deeper, more sensitive and more collaborative involvement of all major contributors towards educational improvement and in research on the nature of teaching and learning in mathematics education. It introduces the major activities of ICME-12 which have successfull...
Proceedings Of The 14th International Congress On Mathematical Education (In 2 Volumes)
The International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME) is the largest international conference on mathematics education in the world. This quadrennial event is organized under the auspices of the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI). This book, the Proceedings of ICME-14, presents the latest trends in mathematics education research and mathematics teaching practices at all levels. Each chapter covers an extensive range of topics in mathematics education.Volume I consists of 4 Plenary Lectures, 3 Plenary Panels, 5 Lectures of Awardees, 4 Survey Teams, 62 Topic Study Groups, 13 Discussion Groups, 20 Workshops, a Thematic Afternoon, and an Early Career Researcher Day...
Educação matemática de jovens e adultos
Neste livro, Maria da Conceição F. R. Fonseca apresenta ao leitor uma visão do que é a Educação de Adultos e de que forma esta se entrelaça com a Educação Matemática. A autora traz para o leitor reflexões atuais feitas por ela e por outros educadores que são referência na área de Educação de Jovens e Adultos no país. Este quinto volume da coleção "Tendências em Educação Matemática" certamente irá impulsionar a pesquisa e a reflexão sobre o tema, fundamental para a compreensão da questão do ponto de vista social e político.
Álgebra para a formação do professor
A Álgebra é um dos pilares da Matemática, e seu estudo é fundamental para a compreensão de conceitos em qualquer disciplina matemática, como a Geometria, o Cálculo, a Análise, a Probabilidade, apenas para citar algumas que fazem parte dos currículos de cursos de formação inicial e continuada de professores de Matemática. No entanto, na prática de sala de aula são identificadas dificuldades apresentadas pelos estudantes na aprendizagem de conteúdos de Álgebra, especialmente em relação aos conceitos de equação e de função, o que tem impacto em toda a Educação Matemática, em qualquer nível de ensino. Como apontam os autores, "o conhecimento matemático para o ensino n�...
Modelagem em Educação Matemática
A partir de pesquisas e da experiência adquirida em sala de aula, os autores deste livro oferecem aos leitores reflexões sobre aspectos da Modelagem e suas relações com a Educação Matemática. Esta obra mostra como esta disciplina pode funcionar como uma estratégia na qual o aluno ocupa lugar central na escolha de seu currículo. Os autores também apresentam aqui a trajetória histórica da Modelagem e provocam discussões sobre suas relações, possibilidades e perspectivas em sala de aula, sobre diversos paradigmas educacionais e sobre a formação de professores. Para eles, a Modelagem deve ser datada, dinâmica, dialógica e diversa. A presente obra oferece um minucioso estudo sobre as bases teóricas e práticas da Modelagem e, sobretudo, a aproxima dos professores e alunos de Matemática.
Interdisciplinaridade e aprendizagem da Matemática em sala de aula
Como lidar com a interdisciplinaridade no ensino da Matemática? De que forma o professor pode criar um ambiente favorável que o ajude a perceber o que e como seus alunos aprendem? Essas são algumas das questões elucidadas pelas autoras neste livro, voltado não só para os envolvidos com Educação Matemática como também para os que se interessam por educação em geral. Isso porque um dos benefícios deste trabalho é a compreensão de que a Matemática está sendo chamada a engajar-se na crescente preocupação com a formação integral do aluno como cidadão, o que chama a atenção para a necessidade de tratar o ensino da disciplina levando-se em conta a complexidade do contexto so...
