Mathematics-related anxiety and attitudes: examining the impact among Latina preservice teachers

The purpose of this study was to investigate mathematics-related anxiety and attitudes among Latina preservice teachers. Three sections from the Inventory of Mathematics Attitudes, Experience, and Self Awareness were administered to preservice teachers enrolled in a curriculum and instruction mathematics course during the 1st semester of a 2-semester credential program. Pre- and postsurvey data were examined among female students. There were significant differences on 5 statements that suggest positive perceptions about mathematics and 5 statements that suggest negative perceptions about mathematics. We discuss strategies to reduce mathematics anxiety and address attitudes in preservice teachers.     

祖冲之的影响与现代数学史教育

中国古代有许多优秀的数学家，其中祖冲之在现代的影响很大，产生这一现象的原因是他的历史地位，大众传媒的作用及政治的需要，这对现代数学史教育的启示有：进行数学史教育要联系学生的数学知识、深入浅出、以人为本，应对教材进行修订和要进行数学精神的宣传。

中国古代职业技术教育之方法

艺徒训练制贯穿中国古代职业教育历史进程，无论是世承制、官工作坊制，还是官工业制、民间师承制，都倡导或坚持了技艺、规范和就业道德融为一体，注重示范与模仿、总结与交流。案例教育方法不仅体现在职医、职官教育之中，也体现在吏员训练和艺徒训练等方面。算学教育渗透于天文历算、冶炼铸造、纺织制器、赋税徭役、商贾买卖等职业技术教育之中，坚持联系生产、生活实际于始终。     

MICTS: Municipal ICT Schools – A Means for Bridging the Digital Divide Between Rural and Urban Communities

There is a substantial difference in use and development of information and communication technologies and services between and within countries. Some denote this phenomenon as the digital divide.This paper addresses the competence aspect of the digital divide. It proposes municipal ICT schools as one model aimed to bridge this gap and provides an assessment of the model based on the results from a field trial in three rural municipalities in Norway. The model brings the benefits of increased competence of ICT in the communities but in addition have a potential with regard to stimulating talent development, serving as a resource for local business and offering meeting places in the communities for building social capital. The model may be successfully implemented within reasonable economic limitations but is also challenging in several ways, for instance on how teaching resources are recruited and supported.The purpose of the paper is to bring forward the discussion about how to bring all people, also those in rural areas, to be participators in the information technology age.

Developmental discourses as a regime of truth in research with primary school students

While developmental discourses have been heavily critiqued in relation to education systems, less attention has been paid to how these impact the data collection process in classroom research. This article utilises Foucault’s concept of regime of truth to highlight the pervasiveness of developmental discourses when conducting research in primary schools. Such a theoretical framing makes explicit how developmental discourses work and are constructed as ‘truth’, which limit the possibilities for alternative perspectives. This article shows how this regime of truth works in practice by reflecting on qualitative research conducted with two age groups in two primary schools in Australia, focusing on the researcher’s navigations of these discourses. In particular, this article examines the impact of developmental discourses on conducting research with multiple age groups, initiating research, choosing methods for data collection, and negotiating power relations and ethical practices.     

高等数学教学中数学思想方法教学途径的探讨

《高等数学》为数学思想方法的教学提供了一个良好的知识平台，在《高等数学》课程的教学中进行数学思想方法的教学，不仅是可行的，也是必要的．为此，应采取的主要措施有：一是改变传统教材单一以数学知识为主线的课程体系而以数学思想方法与数学知识的合理组合为教材的主线以突出数学思想方法的教学、二是改革教学方法，采取发现法教学，通过化隐为显、逐步渗透、反复运用等手段，使学生掌握常用的数学思想方法，并能在今后的学习、工作中灵活运用．
