建构主义与数学教学

随着社会对人才数学修养的要求不断提高，传统数学教学的弊端日益显现出来，建构主义学习理论的许多观点和主张具有合理性，对数学教学的改革有借鉴意义。     

让学生学会做数学——课改下的数学教学新理念

新课标要求数学教学要让学生学会“做数学”,做数学”的目的最终是要让学生学会“数学化”。“做数学”的实质是把重点从“教”转向“学”,从教师的行为转向学生的活动,并且从感觉效应转向活动效应,使学生在数学的活动中感知数学、认识数学、体验数学和应用数学。     

论中小学生的数学观

中小学生的数学观包括数学知识观、数学学习观和数学自我概念。它是通过学生自身数学实践活动经验、教师的教学目标和过程以及社会文化与学校文化传统三方面交互作用的过程形成的。它对学生的数学学习行为、学习策略、动机与情感都会产生重要影响 ,从而对良好数学学习成绩的获得有重要作用     

英国入职教师教育国家课程探析

英国入职教师教育国家课程对合格教师资格标准,课程总要求,英语、数学、科学和信息交流技术在学科教学中的应用等几个方面进行了规定,并提出了较为具体的要求。实施其课程的目标是达成合格教师资格标准。该课程具有实践性,注重信息交流技术在学科教学中的作用,注重中小学在教师教育课程中的作用。这些启示我们要尽快制定教师资格标准,强化实践性入职教师教育课程并注重对其实施效果进行指导和监督。     

What’s in a name: dimensions of social learning in teacher groups

Induced by a literature review, this paper presents a framework of dimensions and indicators highlighting the underpinning aspects and values of social learning within teacher groups. Notions of social networks, communities of practice and learning teams were taken as the main perspectives to influence this social learning framework. The review exercise resulted in four dimensions: (1) practice, (2) domain and value creation, (3) collective identity and (4) organization. The indicators corresponding to these dimensions serve as the foundation for understanding social learning in practice. The framework of dimensions and indicators can be of assistance for researchers as well as teacher groups that aim to assess their views on social learning and analyse whether these views fit the learning goals of the group or that adjustments are required. In this way, learning processes within groups of teachers can be improved.     

注重过程教学，培养数学能力

数学教学应改变的单纯注重结论的教学方式，而应注重整个教学过程，诸如某一知识产生的历史背景，知识间的相互联系，数学知识的实际应用以及数学思想的启发等，这样才能引起学生学习的兴趣，进而提高数学能力。     

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。

Voices of teacher candidates of color on white race evasion: ‘I worried about my safety!’

Abstract

This qualitative study investigated the negative impacts minority teacher candidates receive from white teacher candidates in a required multicultural education class. The findings reveal that four teacher candidates of color had difficulty positioning themselves among the overwhelming silencing power of whiteness in the class. The white students were tactful at evading power and race and flattening the existing hierarchical power relations through the discourses of colorblindness and by preying on the minority instructor. Their understanding of diversity was also shallow. On the other hand, the teacher candidates of color were afraid that they might be labeled as the ones who spoke up against the white students and fearful of the possibility of retaliation and ostracism from the white peers. It seems that the teacher education program’s structure allowed the white candidates to impose strong negative peer pressure on the teacher candidates of color.
