Brelias, Anastasia – Democracy & Education, 2015
This study examines high school students' views of mathematics as a tool for social inquiry in light of their classroom experiences using mathematics to explore social issues. A critical theoretical perspective on mathematics literacy is used to ascertain the ways in which their views challenge or affirm the dominant image of mathematics in…

Download full textNakhanu, Shikuku Beatrice; Musasia, Amadalo Maurice – Journal of Education and Practice, 2015
The topic Linear Programming is included in the compulsory Kenyan secondary school mathematics curriculum at form four. The topic provides skills for determining best outcomes in a given mathematical model involving some linear relationship. This technique has found application in business, economics as well as various engineering fields. Yet many…

Fazio, Lisa; Siegler, Robert – UNESCO International Bureau of Education, 2011
Students around the world have difficulties in learning about fractions. In many countries, the average student never gains a conceptual knowledge of fractions. This research guide provides suggestions for teachers and administrators looking to improve fraction instruction in their classrooms or schools. The recommendations are based on a…

Kemp, B. – International Journal of Mathematical Education, 1977
Some reasons are given for the non-specialist student emerging from a statistics course having acquired a few techniques but no real statistical understanding. A cyclical problem-centered teaching approach is suggested, beginning with problems related to the students' own disciplines. (MN)

Castanho, Miguel A. R. B. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2002
The main distinction between the overlapping fields of molecular biophysics and biochemistry resides in their different approaches to the same problems. Molecular biophysics makes more use of physical techniques and focuses on quantitative data. This difference encounters two difficult pedagogical challenges when teaching molecular biophysics to…

Ben-Chaim, David; Fey, James; Fitzgerald, William; Benedetto, Catherine; Miller, Jane – 1997
Contemporary constructivist views of mathematical learning have encouraged curriculum developers to devise instructional materials that help students build their own understanding and procedures for doing rational number computations, solving proportions, and applying those skills to real and whimsical problems. The Connected Mathematics Project…

Kwon, Oh Nam; Park, Jung Sook; Park, Jee Hyun – Asia Pacific Education Review, 2006
The purpose of this study was to develop a program to help cultivate divergent thinking in mathematics based on open-ended problems and to investigate its effect. The participants were 398 seventh grade students attending middle schools in Seoul. A method of pre- and post-testing was used to measure mainly divergent thinking skills through…
