The development of a model of culturally responsive science and mathematics teaching

This qualitative theoretical study was conducted in response to the current need for an inclusive and comprehensive model to guide the preparation and assessment of teacher candidates for culturally responsive teaching. The process of developing a model of culturally responsive teaching involved three steps: a comprehensive review of the literature; a synthesis of the literature into thematic categories to capture the dispositions and behaviors of culturally responsive teaching; and the piloting of these thematic categories with teacher candidates to validate the usefulness of the categories and to generate specific exemplars of behavior to represent each category. The model of culturally responsive teaching contains five thematic categories: (1) content integration, (2) facilitating knowledge construction, (3) prejudice reduction, (4) social justice, and (5) academic development. The current model is a promising tool for comprehensively defining culturally responsive teaching in the context of teacher education as well as to guide curriculum and assessment changes aimed to increase candidates’ culturally responsive knowledge and skills in science and mathematics teaching.

初中科学课程教学中渗透数学思想的应用研究

数学思想与自然科学关系密不可分。在初中科学教学实践过程中,渗透数学思想非常重要。在教学中,教师应从方程的思想、数学建模的思想、化归的思想等方面阐述在科学教学过程中如何渗透数学思想,强调用数学的思维方式解决日常生活中的科学问题。     

建构主义与数学教学

Subdivision processes in mathematics and science

In the course of a research project now in progress, three successive division problems were presented to students in Grades 7–12. The first problem concerned a geometrical line segment, while the other two dealt with material substances (copper wire and water). All three problems involved the same process: successive division. Two of the problems (line segment and copper wire) were also figurally similar. Our data indicate that the similarity in the process had a profound effect on students' responses. The effect of the similarity in process suggests that the repeated process of division has a coercive effect, imposing itself on students' responses and encouraging then to view successive division processes as finite or infinite regardless of the content of the problem. It is possible to trace out, step by step, a more or less parallel process of development for the ideas of points and continuity and those dealing with atoms and physical objects in the child's conception of the ideal world. The only difference between these two processes is that to the child's way of thinking physical points or atoms still possess surface and volume, whereas mathematical points tend to lose all extension (though during the stages of development which concerns us here, this remains only a tendency.) (Piaget & Inhelder, 1948, pp. 126). Our first naive impression of nature and matter is that of continuity. Be it a piece of matter or a volume of liquid we invariably conceive it as divisible into infinity, and even so small a part of it appears to us to possess the same properties as the whole. (Hilbert, 1925, pp. 162).     

数学中的美学教学

数学美是数学发展的内在驱动力之一,也是评价数学理论的重要标准之一。本文结合大学数学内容,对数学美进行了浅析。主要揭示了在大学数学课程的相关知识中所蕴藏出来的美的现象,美的规律。数学美作为科学美的一种,它即具有美的共性,更具有独特的个性,它的内容是极其丰富的。我们可以从数学图形,公式,定理,方法中感受的人类智慧的魅力,感受这种美。最后阐述了在数学教学中对数学美教学的重要性。
