The purpose of this study was to identify the degree to which college algebra students’ value mathematical skills in their
prospective careers. A survey was administered to N = 144 students in 6 college algebra classes at a mid-sized doctoral granting university. Students in half the classes completed
a data analysis project, and half of the students planned to major in a business-related degree. Logistic regression suggested
that students held mostly positive attitudes about the value of mathematics in their career, with business students expressing
more positive attitudes than those reported by non-business students. Unexpectedly, those who completed the data analysis
project expressed less positive attitudes on 6 of the 20 survey items. 相似文献

The professional literature in mathematics education is replete with calls to use tasks that are ‘authentic’, ‘relevant’ and
related to ‘real life’ and the ‘real world’. Such activities are frequently advocated for their potential to motivate and
engage students, but evidence of their ability to do so is rarely presented. This paper examines evidence in relation to the
effectiveness of context problems in achieving their intended purposes and thereby contributing to enhanced student participation,
engagement and achievement in mathematics education. It is argued that context problems are not a panacea and that categorising
problems as contextualised or de-contextualised is less helpful than the consideration of more salient aspects of tasks that
impact on their effectiveness. Such aspects also relate to the purposes for and affordances and limitations of particular
tasks in relation to the purposes they are intended to serve, along with attention to the contexts in which students learn
mathematics. Examples of theoretical and empirical programs built on these considerations are reviewed in terms of their potential
to enhance participation, engagement and achievement in school mathematics. 相似文献

We report on a case study that took place in a southwestern culturally and linguistically diverse urban high school science
classroom during a grade recovery summer session. The introduction of a technology-infused unit on epidemiology engaged students
in a multi-contextual exploration of the spread of diseases. The analysis of the resultant classroom discourse centers on
connections made and identities expressed by the students (as students, social beings, avatars, and scientists), with particular
attention to how these students use language to bridge worlds (the participatory simulation world, the classroom world, the ‘real’ world (outside the classroom), and the laboratory (science)
world). The results indicate that including a participatory technology tool supported students’ learning journey. Specifically,
students built on a shared virtual experience in ways that helped them to draw and expand on prior experiences well beyond
the classroom in the service of developing science understanding. 相似文献

Taking the view that pictures are not a transparent but rather a deforming mirror of reality, shaping representations of the world bound up with the interests of the social institutions within which pictures are circulated and read, our aim is to explore what view of nature and of the human-nature relationship is built in Greek natural science school textbooks. The particular textbooks analysed have been recently introduced (in 2006 and 2007) into Greek education. The pictorial analysis suggests that a ??baroque?? view of nature and of the human-nature relationship predominantly emerges, according to which nature is constantly in motion, and therefore random and unpredictable natural change could be ??normal??. Natural environments are viewed in materialistic terms, being transformed by humans and serving as a resource. A comparison with our analysis of the older textbooks written in the early 1980s (Korfiatis et al. 2004) seems to indicate important conceptual differences between the two series of textbooks. The ??romantic?? and ??classic?? views of nature in the old textbooks could express the vigour, the optimism and the innocence characterising industrial societies (or in the process of industrialisation) about human interventions in the environment. Conversely, the ??baroque?? view found in the new textbooks probably marks the scepticism of post-industrial societies about natural phenomena. 相似文献

Literacy education through the LIFE Initiative and follow-up of CONFINTEA VI in the Maghreb ?C Illiteracy is seriously compromising the economic and social development of the Maghreb countries. In Morocco and Mauritania, for instance, national strategies and literacy programmes have been implemented. These efforts ought to be assessed so that lessons can be learned from them and the contribution of the national and international initiatives implemented in recent years can be evaluated. The Sixth International Conference on Adult Education provided an opportunity to launch a Maghreb-wide literacy cooperation process. Drawing on the experience of two high-priority countries (Morocco and Mauritania), the countries of the Maghreb created a mechanism for ongoing exchange within the framework of the Forum on Literacy for the Maghreb Region. The second meeting of this Forum, which was held in May 2010 in Nouakchott, was devoted to monitoring the implementation of the Belém Framework for Action and resulted in the creation of a joint cooperation programme in this domain. 相似文献
