Buku ini merupakan salah satu buku yang mengulas tentang kajian teori Etnomatematika dan Etnomodelling yang merupakan bagian dari Etnomatematika itu sendiri, serta mengulas tentang penggunaan Pendekatan Etnomatematika dalam suatu penelitian, serta kebermanfaatan Etnomatematika dalam kegiatan belajar-mengajar matematika. Penyusunan buku ini tentunya tidak dapat terlepas dari inspirasi pencetus Etnomatamatika yaitu D’Ambrosio yang merupakan orang pertama yang memperkenalkan istilah Etnomatamatika. Tentunya telah banyak literatur yang mengulas tentang Etnomatematika ini dan telah banyak diteliti serta dikembangkan, dan kami menyuguhkan salah satu alternatif yang berbeda agar pembaca lebih mudah dalam memahami tentang Etnomatematika itu sendiri,

Foreword by Nobel Laureate Herbert A. Hauptman The authors present ten strategies, illustrated through 200 problems, that you can incorporate into your curriculum to help your students become effective problem solvers.
Nowadays, algebra education is subject to worldwide scrutiny. Different opinions on its goals, approaches and achievements are at the heart of debates among teachers, educators, researchers and decision makers. What should the teaching of algebra in secondary school mathematics look like? Should it focus on procedural skills or on algebraic insight? Should it stress practice or integrate technology? Do we require formal proofs and notations, or do informal representations suffice? Is algebra in school an abstract subject, or does it take its relevance from application in (daily life) contexts? What should secondary school algebra education that prepares for higher education and professional ...
Drawing on a nationwide survey encompassing all ethnic and socioeconomic groups, "Beyond the Classroom" identifies the real nature of the education crisis in America. "No one answer is going to reverse the dumbing down of American schools and American kids. But here, at last, is a fresh perspective".--"Chicago Tribune".
Kaye Stacey‚ Helen Chick‚ and Margaret Kendal The University of Melbourne‚ Australia Abstract: This section reports on the organisation‚ procedures‚ and publications of the ICMI Study‚ The Future of the Teaching and Learning of Algebra. Key words: Study Conference‚ organisation‚ procedures‚ publications The International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI) has‚ since the 1980s‚ conducted a series of studies into topics of particular significance to the theory and practice of contemporary mathematics education. Each ICMI Study involves an international seminar‚ the “Study Conference”‚ and culminates in a published volume intended to promote and assist d...
This edited volume with selected expanded papers from CELDA (Cognition and Exploratory Learning in the Digital Age) 2009 (http://www.celda-conf.org/) addresses the main issues concerned with problem solving, evolving learning processes, innovative pedagogies, and technology-based educational applications in the digital age. There have been advances in both cognitive psychology and computing that have affected the educational arena. The convergence of these two disciplines is increasing at a fast pace and affecting academia and professional practice in many ways. Paradigms such as just-in-time learning, constructivism, student-centered learning and collaborative approaches have emerged and are being supported by technological advancements such as simulations, virtual reality and multi-agents systems. These developments have created both opportunities and areas of serious concerns. This volume aims to cover both technological as well as pedagogical issues related to these developments.
This paperback edition, with a new introduction, offers a powerful, compelling, and unassailable argument for reforming America's schooling methods and ideas--by one of America's most important educators, and author of the bestselling Cultural Literacy. For over fifty years, American schools have operated under the assumption that challenging children academically is unnatural for them, that teachers do not need to know the subjects they teach, that the learning "process" should be emphasized over the facts taught. All of this is tragically wrong. Renowned educator and author E. D. Hirsch, Jr., argues that, by disdaining content-based curricula while favoring abstract--and discredited--theor...
This volume brings the current interest in primate cognition to bear on studies of cognitive development in humans, with chapters from leading researchers in both areas. For cognitive developmentalists and primatologists and comparative psychologists.
How do children acquire the vast array of concepts, strategies, and skills that distinguish the thinking of infants and toddlers from that of preschoolers, older children, and adolescents? In this new book, Robert Siegler addresses these and other fundamental questions about children's thinking. Previous theories have tended to depict cognitive development much like a staircase. At an early age, children think in one way; as they get older, they step up to increasingly higher ways of thinking. Siegler proposes that viewing the development within an evolutionary framework is more useful than a staircase model. The evolution of species depends on mechanisms for generating variability, for choo...
