Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite rising concerns about the mathematics and science achievement of U.S. students, a flood of evidence amassed over the past decade suggests that far too few students are receiving the high-quality education needed in these subjects either for careers or for basic citizenship. The Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD) Panel on U.S. Achievement in Mathematics and Science was convened in May 1991 to examine three issues: (1) the continued low standing of U.S. students on international mathematics and science achievement tests; (2) the possible reasons for this low standing; and (3) the changes needed to improve U.S. mathematics and science achievement. The report is presented in three sections. Section 1 discusses the nature of the problem, indicating that low achievement is evident at all levels from primary through secondary school. Section 2 discusses the possible causes for low U.S. achievement, concluding that too few students receive sufficient instruction in mathematics and science in grades K-12 to achieve desired levels. The effects of tracking, the impact of underrepresented groups, outmoded theory and practice, and working conditions are also discussed. In section 3, the panel gives recommendations for improving U.S. achievement in mathematics and science in the areas of Curriculum, Standards, Assessment, Teacher Preparation, and Public Support. An executive summary states the panel's findings and enumerates its recommendations. Among the specific recommendations are the following: (1) all students should be required to take mathematics and science throughout their precollegiate education; (2) the development of international standards should be supported; (3) assessment programs should include "performance tasks"; and (4) emergency licensing of teachers in mathematics and science should be eliminated.

Download or read book Communicating written by Ruth Finnegan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many accounts of human communication suggest that we are limited to communicating through words, visual images, the mass media and by digital means. This perspective underestimates the multisensory qualities of much of our human interconnecting and the multiple sounds, touches, sights and material objects which humans use so creatively to interconnect both nearby and across space and time. Ruth Finnegan brings together research from linguistic and sensory anthropology, alternative approaches to 'material culture' and 'the body', non-verbal communication, cultural studies, computer-mediated communication, and illuminating work on animal communication. Examples from both western and non-western cultures together with plentiful illustrations enrich and deepen the analysis. The book uncovers the amazing array of sounds, sights, smells, gestures, looks, movements, touches and material objects which humans use so creatively to interconnect both nearby and across space and time - resources consistently underestimated in those western ideologies that prioritise 'rationality' and referential language. Focussing on embodied and material processes, and on practice rather than text, this comparative analysis challenges the underlying cognitive and word-centred model common to many approaches to communication. The second edition of Communicating includes a new introduction, updates to take account of recent work, an additional chapter covering ethereal non-verbal non-bodily communicating such as telepathy and dreams, fresh illustrations, a new conclusion and updated bibliography. This authoritative but accessible book is an essential transdisciplinary overview for researchers and advanced students in language and communication, anthropology and cultural studies.
