Download or read book L implicite et les liens logiques chez des enfants dyscalculiques de 7 11 ans written by Vicky Bailly and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a tous besoin de bonnes capacités de décodage de l'implicite au quotidien : en discussion, devant une publicité, en lecture de symboles ou d'écrits,... les actes de parole sont sources de malentendus fréquents dans la vie quotidienne. Dans notre mémoire, nous partons de l'hypothèse que, majoritairement chez les enfants présentant des troubles du raisonnement logico-mathématique, on retrouve des difficultés de décodage de l'implicite, et ce parce qu'ils ont un fonctionnement de pensée particulier. Ces deux fonctionnements (la logique et l'implicite) demandent un fonctionnement de pensée au delà du figuratif. Nous réalisons une étude comparative entre des enfants dyscalculiques et tout-venant, âgés de sept à onze ans, face à des épreuves de décodage de l'implicite, à partir de supports linguistiques et iconiques. D'abord nous proposons des épreuves de logique pour savoir quelles sont les notions que l'enfant a construites et celles qu'il ne maîtrise pas encore. Nous testons la compréhension des implicites, les connaissances du monde, les notions de causes - conséquences, le but, l'humour, le repérage temporel, la sériation d'images, l'interprétation de signes iconiques, et la mobilité de pensée. Nous remarquons qu'un grand nombre d'enfants présentant des troubles logico-mathématiques, éprouvent des difficultés à s'adapter aux conventions langagières, à déduire les présuppositions et les déductions à partir des informations données explicitement, à comprendre les contenus implicites, sans doute parce qu'ils ne font pas suffisamment de liens logiques entre les données, ou des liens inadaptés.

Download or read book Mathematical Modelling in Education Research and Practice written by Gloria Ann Stillman and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume cultural, social and cognitive influences on the research and teaching of mathematical modelling are explored from a variety of theoretical and practical perspectives. The authors of the current volume are all members of the International Community of Teachers of Mathematical Modelling and Applications, the peak research body in this field. A distinctive feature of this volume is the high number of authors from South American countries. These authors bring quite a different perspective to modelling than has been showcased in previous books in this series, in particular from a cultural point of view. As well as recent international research, there is a strong emphasis on pedagogical issues including those associated with technology and assessment, in the teaching and learning of modelling. Applications at various levels of education are exemplified. The contributions reflect common issues shared globally and represent emergent or on-going challenges.

Book excerpt: A common concern of all the authors of this volume is an attempt to draw attention to issues related to the formatting power of mathematics and to its role as implicit knowledge, which results in a process of demathematisation.
Download or read book The Science of Education written by Caleb Gattegno and published by Educational Solutions Incorporated. This book was released on 1987 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The first hints that there was a possibility of looking at education as a field of study that could ultimately become as legitimate a science as others have been, came forth soon after 1940. The central point was that awareness, which has permitted all the sciences to find their rightful places, could become aware of itself. In the years that followed, a number of research undertakings produced opportunities to gather evidence that gave the initial intuition a body of facts which established the foundations for that science and the openings for its technology. The decisive shift that there was a basis for suggesting to the public that a science of education could be developed came with the clear awareness that only awareness is educable in Man. . . . In this book, the work done with students of all ages . . . is only implicit. It is that work which provided the evidence needed to catch the subtle and invisible tasks of awareness and its workings, dynamics that became the source of the theoretical considerations presented here." -Caleb Gattegno
Download or read book Math Worlds written by Sal P. Restivo and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1993-01-01 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An international group of distinguished scholars brings a variety of resources to bear on the major issues in the study and teaching of mathematics, and on the problem of understanding mathematics as a cultural and social phenomenon. All are guided by the notion that our understanding of mathematical knowledge must be grounded in and reflect the realities of mathematical practice. Chapters on the philosophy of mathematics illustrate the growing influence of a pragmatic view in a field traditionally dominated by platonic perspectives. In a section on mathematics, politics, and pedagogy, the emphasis is on politics and values in mathematics education. Issues addressed include gender and mathematics, applied mathematics and social concerns, and the reflective and dialogical nature of mathematical knowledge. The concluding section deals with the history and sociology of mathematics, and with mathematics and social change. Contributors include Philip J. Davis, Helga Jungwirth, Nel Noddings, Yehuda Rav, Michael D. Resnik, Ole Skovsmose, and Thomas Tymoczko.
Download or read book Learning from Computers Mathematics Education and Technology written by Christine Keitel-Kreidt and published by Springer. This book was released on 1993-11-30 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Mathematics Education and Technology was held in Villard-de-Lans, France, between May 6 and 11, 1993. Organised on the initiative of the BaCoMET (Basic Components of Mathematics Education for Teachers) group (Christiansen, Howson and Otte 1986; Bishop, Mellin-Olsen and van Dormolen 1991), the workshop formed part of a larger NATO programme on Advanced Educational Technology. Some workshop members had already participated in earlier events in this series and were able to contribute insights from them: similarly some members were to take part in later events. The problematic for the workshop drew attention to important speculative developments in the applications of advanced information technology in mathematics education over the last decade, notably intelligent tutoring, geometric construction, symbolic algebra and statistical analysis. Over the same period, more elementary forms of information technology had started to have a significant influence on teaching approaches and curriculum content: notably arithmetic and graphic calculators; standard computer tools, such as spreadsheets and databases; and computer-assisted learning packages and computer microworlds specially designed for educational purposes.

Book excerpt: In Nineteen Eighty-Four George Orwell gives a description of different forms of suppression. We learn about the telescreens placed everywhere, through which it is possible for Big-Brother to watch the inhabitants of Oceania. However, it is not only important to control the activities of the inhabitants, it is important as well to control their thoughts, and the Thought Police are on guard. This is a very direct form of monitoring and control, but Orwell also outlines a more imperceptible and calculated line of thought control. In the Appendix to Nineteen Eighty-Four Orwell explains some struc tures of 'Newspeak', which is going to become the official language of Oceania. Newspeak is being developed by the Ministry of Truth, and this language has to substitute 'Oldspeak' (similar to standard English). Newspeak should fit with the official politics of Oceania ruled by the Ingsoc party: "The purpose of Newspeak was not only to provide a medium of expression for the world-view and mental habits proper to the devotees of Ingsoc, but to make all other modes of thought impos sible. It was intended that when Newspeak had been adopted once and for all and Oldspeak forgotten, a heretical thought - that is, a thought diverging from the principles of Ingsoc - should be literally unthink able, at least as far as thought is dependent on words.
