Keiyo Cattle Raiding, Kechui Mathematics and Science Education: What do They Have in Common?     

Norman Thomson  Jepkorir Rose Chepyator-Thomson 《Interchange》2002,33(1):49-83

In the context of globalization, indigenous educational systems of endangered cultures are faced with extinction. Biologists recognize that biodiversity is dependent upon sustaining and promoting knowledge and values of indigenous cultures. Education researchers have a similar responsibility — to promulgate educational diversity before several thousand years of valuable educational knowledge is extirpated. This paper presents the Keiyo of Kenya who have a rich educational system. Its focus is on an indigenous game, Kechui (using calculations to sharpen your mind), based on cattle raiding, and the Keiyos' use of the game for learning mixed strategy-based probabilistic problem solving. Kechui may also have international potential for teaching probabilistic problem solving in contemporary mathematics and science, especially genetics.  相似文献

Different ways in which students handle chance encounters in the explorative setting of a dice game     

Per Nilsson 《Educational Studies in Mathematics》2007,66(3):293-315

The purpose of this study is to investigate the ways in which Swedish seventh grade students (12 and 13 years old) handle chance encounters. Four groups of students working in pairs participated in the study. In the group discussions, which were tape-recorded and fully transcribed, the students were encouraged to explore strategies for winning a specifically designed dice game based on the sum of two dice. The dice game included four different set-ups of dice designed to bring to the fore different aspects of probability modelling and to offer the student the opportunity to encounter small differences in the mathematical structure of the sample space and of the probability distribution between the four different set-ups. The study describes strategies that the students use when confronted with these different set-ups, what their activities imply in terms of resources in handling random phenomena and what the dice game offers in terms of opportunities for learning probability. In order to explain such meaning-making processes the students’ activities are viewed from a perspective that takes into consideration how the students’ understanding varies with their interpretations of the situation they are confronted with, i.e., how they contextualize the different set-ups of the dice game. The results show how the students, during the course of the game, reorganize their interpretations of the mathematical content confronting them, and how a variation of guiding principles becomes the object of exploration. Approaches of extremes and a number model are described as a means for the students to identify and assign probabilities for the total of two dice.  相似文献

论鲁迅的自省精神     

班澜 《内蒙古大学学报(人文社会科学版)》2003,35(6):26-33

对鲁迅而言,内心的孤独寂寞使他走向自由的思想。自由的思想对他来说,并不是理论的概念系统和逻辑框架,而是生存体验与记忆,对生命与宇宙的直面与承担。鲁迅的自省颠覆一切权威与偶像,撕去一切假面与伪装,直面人生,亦直面自我,坦诚暴露自己的丑恶。在不断对抗丑恶的社会和国民精神的蒙昧中,也不断审视自我心灵的创伤和痛苦,便将自省走出他的缠绕,深契入自我生命的体验,追问生命的存在及意义。时下的学只强调鲁迅的“中间物”思想是不完整的,在鲁迅对人生终极价值的自省中,“承受”思想更为重要。  相似文献
