tandfonline.com – Technical nation building: German professional organisations and their journals in the nineteenth century

tandfonline.com har udgivet en rapport under søgningen “Teacher Education Mathematics”: Abstract During the long nineteenth century, the German States saw an exceptionally large number of technical journals published by equally numerous professional organisations as a means of supporting the scientific interaction among their respective members. As the political fragmentation of the German Federation into thirty-nine states hindered the exchange of technical knowledge, these journals promoted the communication between practitioners all over the German States. They aimed to unite the increasingly specialised professionals on a scientific and technical level. This article discusses these associations and their journals in a cultural and technical context, considering the following processes: the professionalisation of the building industry in the nineteenth century; the evolution of an independent technical educational system in the German-speaking countries; and the… Continue Reading

Eric.ed.gov – Facilitating Student Learning through Math Journals.

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: In the last two decades, mathematics teachers have shown a great deal of interest in how students learn mathematics through journal writing. I have also used journals in mathematics classes for the last five years. Based on the analysis of more than 1800 journal entries written by approximately 200 students in the last five years, I conclude that journal writing has potential to aid in student mathematical learning even though teachers need a large amount of time to examine student journals and provide feedback. Math journals not only help instructors in understanding students’ feelings, likes, and dislikes about classes but also help students to demonstrate their mathematical thinking processes and understanding.

Eric.ed.gov – Math Journals.

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: Using math journals on a weekly basis in second- and third-grade classrooms allows students to proceed at their own rate to converge on an understanding of mathematical concepts using their own experiences. Such journals also provide teachers with a unique diagnostic tool. Students’ journal entries regarding telling time and the concept of multiplication illustrate the use of journals in the mathematics classroom: journal writing offers a change of pace for the students and gives teachers a real insight into the workings of the young child’s mind in regard to mathematics.
