Eric.ed.gov – Do the Math: Cognitive Demand Makes a Difference. Research Points, Volume 4, Issue 2, March 2006

Posted on by Troels Gannerup Christensen - Læst 22 gange

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: Today, mathematics education faces two major challenges: raising the floor by expanding achievement for all, and lifting the ceiling of achievement to better prepare future leaders in mathematics, as well as in science, engineering, and technology. Many students lack access to higher-level mathematics courses and teaching at all levels of pre-college schooling. This is unacceptable in the face of the ever-expanding technical demands posed by higher education and the 21st-century job market. Research reveals that strong academic experience is needed for both college and the workforce. Raising the cognitive demand in the curriculum is necessary for enhancing students’ career prospects. Recent trends show progress, but curriculum policies that limit course options restrict opportunities to learn for traditionally underserved students. This problem is compounded by the sorting of… Continue Reading →

Eric.ed.gov – Math and Science Reform. Local Education Fund Issue Brief. Volume 1, Number 1

Posted on by Troels Gannerup Christensen - Læst 3 gange

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: Politicians, academics, and business and community members all seem to be raising concerns that America is not as globally competitive as it once was. This is due, in part, to the fact that public schools in America are not producing high school graduates with the math, science, and technical skills to succeed in higher education or be employed in a knowledge-based, global marketplace. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, jobs requiring science, engineering or technical training will increase 24 percent between 2004 and 2014 to 6.3 million. However, less than half of high school graduates in the United States are academically prepared for college-level math and science. Between 1970 and 2010, America’s proportion of science and engineering doctorates will fall from 50 percent to 15 percent.… Continue Reading →

tandfonline.com – Introduction to the Special Issue: Project-Based Curriculum

Posted on by Troels Gannerup Christensen - Læst 7 gange

tandfonline.com har udgivet en rapport under søgningen “Teacher Education Mathematics”: Abstract Abstract Ideally, students of mathematics gain much from their coursework and undergraduate careers. If we (teachers and professors) do our jobs right, then math majors and minors should, among other achievements, gain the ability to apply their mathematical knowledge to other disciplines and real-world problems. Project-based learning offers one way to achieve this goal, as it encourages students to solve interdisciplinary problems that arise outside of the traditional classroom. Project-based learning can be implemented as part of a class or as an enrichment program, and it typically features problems arising from a variety of sources (including social concerns of different communities, demands from business and industry, and non-profit or government organizations). In this special issue on Project-Based Curricula, we… Continue Reading →
