    Book SynopsisHans Schupp verstarb im Mai 2021 im Alter von 86 Jahren. Neben seinen weitreichenden Beiträgen zur Didaktik der Stochastik war er auch in der Geometrie substantiell breit aufgestellt und hat zahlreiche, didaktisch begründete, konstruktive Vorschläge zur Re-Geometrisierung des Mathematikunterrichts publiziert. In diesem Feld gibt es in der schulischen Praxis aber leider weiterhin Defizite und großen Nachholbedarf. Dies war Grund genug, um uns auf unserer Tagung mit dem Erbe von Hans Schupp und – darauf aufbauend – mit der Weiterentwicklung des Geometrieunterrichts zu beschäftigen. Dieser Tagungsband enthält daher zwölf Beitrage zu Themen des Geometrieunterrichts, die an Ideen und Arbeiten von Hans Schupp anknüpfen.Table of Contents1 Freude ... und weitere nichtkognitive Ziele von Mathematikunterricht.- 2 Wie viel Phantasie passt in einen Heißluftballon? – Anregungen, den Mathematikunterricht etwas anders weiter zu denken.- 3 Geometrie im Alltag.- 4 Kegelschnitte – eine schöne Tradition.- 5 Kegelschnitte mit GeoGebra 3D – genetisch, ganzheitlich, dynamisch, anschaulich.- 6 Die App Mathe-AR – Raumgeometrie mit Augmented Reality aktiv erleben.- 7 NURBS – Grundlage für Animationsfilme.- 8 Spielerische Erkundungen mit den Werkzeugen einer dynamischen Geometriesoftware.- 9 Zur Konkurrenz der Dreieckshöhen.- 10 Invariante Flächensummen.- 11 Geometrisch argumentieren in der Analysis.- 12 Beweise jenseits der Stille.

  • Die kopernikanische Revolution

    Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Die kopernikanische Revolution

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisDie Geschichte der kopernikanischen Revolution wurde bereits oft geschrieben, doch meines Wissens nicht unter dem Blickwinkel und in dem Umfang, die hier beabsichtigt sind. Vielerlei Einzelereignisse verbergen sich hinter dem Schlagwort von der Wende oder Revolution. Ihr Kern war eine Umwandlung der mathematischen Astronomie, doch brachte sie auch begriff­ liche Änderungen in der Kosmologie, Physik, Philosophie und Religion mit sich. Einzelaspekte der kopernikanischen Revolution wurden wiederholt untersucht, und ohne die daraus entstandenen Abhandlungen hätte dieses Buch nicht geschrieben werden können. Die Vielfalt der Umwälzungen übersteigt die Fähigkeiten des einzelnen Gelehrten, der die ursprünglichen Quellen studiert. Sowohl spezialisierte Untersuchungen als auch die darauf aufbauenden vereinfachenden Darstellungen verfehlen jedoch notwendiger­ weise einen der wichtigsten und faszinierendsten Züge der Revolution - ein Charakteristikum, das aus der Vielfalt der Umwälzung selbst entspringt. Wegen dieser Vielfalt bietet die kopernikanische Wende eine ideale Gelegenheit zu sehen, wie und mit welchem Ergebnis Vorstellungen aus vielen verschiedenen Gebieten sich zu einem einzigen Gedankengebäude zusammenfügen. Kopernikus selbst war ein Spezialist, ein mathematischer Astronom, der an der Korrektur esoterischer Methoden zur Berechnung von Planetenpositionen interessiert war. Oft war die Richtung seiner For­ schung jedoch durch Entwicklungen bestimmt, die mit der Astronomie nichts zu tun hatten. Darunter befanden sich die veränderte Darstellung des Falles von Steinen im Mittelalter, die Wiederbelebung mystischer, antiker Anschau­ ungen in der Renaissance, die die Sonne als das Abbild Gottes betrachteten, und die Atlantikreisen, die den Horizont des Menschen der Renaissance erweiterten.Table of Contents1 Das antike Universum.- 2 Das Planetenproblem.- 3 Das Zwei-Kugel-Universum im aristotelischen Denken.- 4 Der Wandel der Tradition: von Aristoteles zu Kopernikus.- 5 Kopernikus’ Neuerung.- 6 Die Assimilation der kopernikanischen Astronomie.- 7 Das neue Universum.- Technischer Anhang.- 1 Korrektur der Sonnenzeit.- 2 Das Vorrücken der Äquinoktien.- 3 Mondphasen und Verfinsterungen.- 4 Antike Messungen des Universums.- Anmerkungen.- Bibliographische Anmerkungen.

  • The Dynamics of Complexity, Accuracy and Fluency

    Uniwersytet Jagiellonski, Wydawnictwo The Dynamics of Complexity, Accuracy and Fluency

    1 in stock

    Book Synopsis?This book looks at the development of language skills in Swedish as a second language in young adults, beginning from the first months of their second language instruction and ending after three years of intensive language courses. The focus is on three proficiency dimensions: complexity, accuracy, and fluency, and their interplay at group level and in individual students.At the beginning of the second language learning process, accuracy, complexity, and fluency are not integrated in the learner's mind and they tend to act in an arbitrary fashion. During second language development, integration of all dimensions proceeds steadily and after three years of learning the discrepancy between different aspects of proficiency is very low. The study traces the mutual impact of each dimension on particular aspects in order to identify four distinct learner profiles. The goal of this book is to provide a platform for further discussion of the dynamics of second language development and the interconnectedness of the systems involved in this development. Iwona Kowal calls for an individual approach to be taken with every learner and for development to be treated as a constant interplay between many factors.Trade ReviewThe monograph encourages reflection for second language researchers and teachers. It has stemmed from an observation of the development of the third language (Swedish) in young Polish adults, i.e. students at the Jagiellonian university... The application of dynamic systems theory in second language research enables to follow a way in which a new language emerges in persons who are learning it as a second, third or fourth language. That is, I think, the most important conclusion that can be drawn from the study. -- Zdzislaw Wawrzyniak

    Book SynopsisThis book is based on the topics, questions and results of the international conference "Aesthetics of Transformation - Arts Education Research and the Challenge of Cultural Sustainability". It aims to foster and sharpen the understanding of the potential role of arts education and arts education research for cultural sustainability. In an ever more complex and interconnected world, culture is a valuable resource for sustainable development. Based on the thesis that the change towards sustainability has to be a change that starts with cultural practices of perception and knowledge, this book makes an important contribution to the broad discourse on cultural sustainability, which has begun to emerge in recent years.In this context, the volume first deals with Intangible Cultural Heritage and how aesthetic practices and certain forms of art are changing through cultural transformation processes. Subsequently, it focuses on issues such as arts and cultural education in times of neoliberalism, (post-)migration and post-coloniality as well as on arts and cultural education under conditions of digital transformation. These theoretical and empirical contributions are complemented by insights into field trips to institutions and exemplary places of practice, showing different representations of educational art practices, cultural heritage, and cultural sustainability. Against this background the book finally offers responses and commentaries that can form the starting point for a far reaching interactive dialogical process on the utmost importance of cultural, aesthetic and arts education as part of a global endeavor for sustainable development.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Intangible Cultural Heritage: A challenge to aesthetic and cultural education.- Part I Research.- Arts and Digital Technology: Exploring responses in times of change.- Making Creative and Entrepreneurial Selves in Education: The governing of life in contemporary times.- Storying [post]qualitative inquiries, methods and pedagogies in/for/as arts based educational research.- Critical Incidents as a Participatory Research Approach for Transformative Cultural Practices.- Transcultural Aesthetic Practices in the Classroom: Sounds, spaces, bodies.- Transformation of traditional arts forms in the evolving contexts: Cantonese opera in Hong Kong as an example.- The transformation of the popular song as a tool for arts education and sustainability.- Part II Practices.- Arts and cultural practices for social transformation towards a sustainable peace building.- Culture and sustainability in situations of conflict: Artistic practices in West Africa.- Let's chat.- Arts education and decolonization: Challenges and opportunities for cultural sustainability in the context of migration.- The transformation of museum exhibitions in the era of digital objects.- Museum and arts education: Interchange as practice in digital spaces.- Post-internet-art.- Part III Questions and Challenges.- Aesthetics of transformation: Questions to ask, Ideas to contemplate.- The Seoul agenda: A commentary.- Aesthetics, culture and transformation: An arts education perspective.- The autonomy of arts education: Perspectives of the council of cultural education.- Whose voices, bodies, objects and artefacts are we teaching, sustaining, learning of, asking students to practice in?.- The influence of neoliberalism on arts education.- Part IV Exploring transformations: Field trips.- Cultural education between processes of tradition and transformation: A theoretical introduction to the field-trip section.- From institution to subculture and back: A field trop to Komm/K4/Kunstlerhaus Nuremberg.- Commemorative culture in the age of globalization and (post-)migration?!.- Museum education in times of flight and (post)migration.- Field trip to the ;Villa Leon' and the children's museum.

    Book SynopsisSTEM Teacher Preparation and Practice for the 21st Century: Research-based Insights introduces the reader to a collection of thoughtful, research-based works by authors that represent current thinking about the future of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics or STEM as it known today, as well as STEM education for a rapidly evolving global society and the preparation of STEM teachers to meet the educational needs of a changing educational landscape. Each chapter focuses on STEM teaching and the preparation of teachers who will enter classrooms to instruct the next generation of students in STEM.Research in the learning sciences focuses on the cognitive, epistemological, and socio-cultural characteristics of scientific and engineering research communities in their efforts to improve Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education. STEM education is a means to help individuals develop different strategies in order to solve interdisciplinary problems and gain skills and knowledge as they are engaged with STEM related activities through formal and informal learning programs.Research also suggests that STEM may well stand as the new general education for the 21st century. In much of the current discourse on teacher quality and preparation, two essential points for consideration have emerged: the strength of the relationship between teacher content knowledge and student achievement, and the specific representations of knowledge that are most conducive to effective teaching. Add to these two points one additional: the nature of transforming a chaotic system of discreet preparation and clinical experiences into a coherent, aligned and logical system of continuous and progressive development and support throughout a teacher's career. These three points apply to STEM teacher preparation, induction and professional learning as well as to teacher preparation, induction and professional learning in general.Importantly, the contributing authors to this book have brought to the foreground research-based insights concerning STEM teacher preparation. Each chapter presents clear paths to understanding and reimagining STEM teaching and the importance of STEM teacher preparation, acknowledging the value of STEM literacy and the interdisciplinary nature of STEM teaching.

    Information Age Publishing Teaching and Learning Online: Science for

    Book SynopsisScience is unique among the disciplines since it is inherently hands-on. However, the hands-on nature of science instruction also makes it uniquely challenging when teaching in virtual environments. How do we, as science teachers, deliver high-quality experiences to secondary students in an online environment that leads to age/grade-level appropriate science content knowledge and literacy, but also collaborative experiences in the inquiry process and the nature of science?The expansion of online environments for education poses logistical and pedagogical challenges for early childhood and elementary science teachers and early learners. Despite digital media becoming more available and ubiquitous and increases in online spaces for teaching and learning (Killham et al., 2014; Wong et al., 2018), PreK-12 teachers consistently report feeling underprepared or overwhelmed by online learning environments (Molnar et al., 2021; Seaman et al., 2018). This is coupled with persistent challenges related to elementary teachers' lack of confidence and low science teaching self-efficacy (Brigido, Borrachero, Bermejo, & Mellado, 2013; Gunning & Mensah, 2011).Teaching and Learning Online: Science for Secondary Grade Levels comprises three distinct sections: Frameworks, Teacher's Journeys, and Lesson Plans. Each section explores the current trends and the unique challenges facing secondary teachers and students when teaching and learning science in online environments. All three sections include alignment with Next Generation Science Standards, tips and advice from the authors, online resources, and discussion questions to foster individual reflection as well as small group/classwide discussion. Teacher's Journeys and Lesson Plan sections use the 5E model (Bybee et al., 2006; Duran & Duran, 2004). Ideal for undergraduate teacher candidates, graduate students, teacher educators, classroom teachers, parents, and administrators, this book addresses why and how teachers use online environments to teach science content and work with elementary students through a research-based foundation.

  • Hollywood or History?: An Inquiry-Based Strategy

    Information Age Publishing Hollywood or History?: An Inquiry-Based Strategy

    Book SynopsisTeaching and learning through Hollywood, or commercial, film and television productions is anything but a new approach and has been something of a mainstay in the classroom for nearly a century. However, purposeful and effective instruction through film is not problem free and many challenges accompany classroom applications of Hollywood motion pictures. In response to the problems and possibilities associated with teaching through film, we are developing a collection of practical, classroom-ready lesson ideas that might bridge gaps between theory and practice and assist teachers endeavoring to make effective use of film in their classrooms. We believe that film can serve as a powerful tool in the social studies classroom and, where appropriately utilized, foster critical thinking and civic mindedness. The NCSS College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) framework, represents a renewed and formalized emphasis on the perennial social studies goals of deep thinking, reading and writing. Our hope is that this edited book might play a small role in the larger project of supporting practitioners, specifically 6-12 teachers of social studies and world religion content, by offering a collection of classroom-ready tools based on the Hollywood or History? strategy and designed to foster inquiry through the careful use of selected motion pictures and television productions.Topics of interest include the roots, rituals, symbols, beliefs, and controversial or significant people or events related to: The Abrahamic Religions: Judaism, Christianity, Islam Eastern Religions/Philosophies: Hinduism, Buddhism Indigenous Religions/Spirituality: First Nations, Traditional African Religions

  • Conflicts in History Education in Europe:

    Information Age Publishing Conflicts in History Education in Europe:

    Book SynopsisThe heightened resonance of identity-driven politics in many states across twenty first century Europe emphasizes the critical role of history in shaping public contestation of the idea of the nation, and accordant manifestations of nationalism and national identity. How the past is interpreted or what and how is remembered has proven increasingly febrile, contentious, and divisive. Debates about history have gone beyond academia, and have permeated and polarised politics and society in many European countries. Intense debate and dispute about national history and culture has often focused on the history teaching in schools, colleges, and universities. According to the aforementioned, it is evident that the teaching of history in the classroom is a relevant topic within the educational system. For this reason, it is not surprising that many times the choice of what kind of history to teach becomes a controversial topic.The existence in a given society of different visions about the nation or the various responses proposed to face the social challenges existing in it (immigration, independence nationalisms...) can turn the teaching of history into a debated and controversial topic. Logically, depending on the specific political context of each country, this debate can acquire different developments and characteristics. The school is not an institution isolated from its socio-political context. In fact, both areas constantly interact. Therefore, this book proposes an approach to this topic that tries to connect the specific political context of different countries with the debates about education and history teaching from 1990 until the present. It deals with the extent to which the social and political context affects the history teaching practice developed in the classrooms through the decisions made on the official curricula and textbooks. Emphasizing this connection between both aspects is one of the strengths of this book. That is the reason why this book proposes an approach to that reality from diverse points of view and show the different materializations observed in this area in the studied cases. The chapters of this volume allow us to verify this heterogeneous reality and help enrich our knowledge on this broad and interesting topic.

    Book SynopsisThe advent of the 24-hour news cycle, citizen journalism and an increased reliance on social media as a trusted news source have had a profound effect not only on how we get our news, but also on how we evaluate sources of information, share that information and interact with others in online communities. When these issues are coupled with the “fake news” industry that intentionally spreads false stories designed to go viral, educators are left facing a new and challenging landscape. This book will help them address these new realities. Fact vs. Fiction provides educators with tools and resources to help students discern fact from fiction in the information they access not only at school, but on the devices they carry in their pockets and backpacks.
