Lernprozesse von Lehrkräften im Rahmen einer Fortbildung zu inklusivem Mathematikunterricht (Essener Beiträge zur Mathematikdidaktik)
by Jennifer BertramFür eine effektive und systematische Fortbildungsgestaltung ist das Wissen über typische Lernprozesse von Lehrkräften von besonderer Bedeutung. Bisher gibt es noch keine umfangreichen empirischen Forschungserkenntnisse mit Blick auf die Betrachtung gegenstandsbezogener, d.h. für den konkreten Fortbildungsgegenstand spezifizierter Lernprozesse im Bereich eines inklusiven Mathematikunterrichts. Inklusiver Mathematikunterricht wird dabei verstanden als ein Unterricht, der die Heterogenität aller Schülerinnen und Schüler berücksichtigt und ihnen fachliche Zugänglichkeit sowie soziale Teilhabe ermöglicht. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht deswegen gegenstandsbezogene Lernprozesse von Lehrkräften im Rahmen einer Fortbildung zu inklusivem Mathematikunterricht (in der Sekundarstufe I) und geht den zentralen Fragen nach, welche typischen Lernwege der Lehrkräfte identifiziert werden können und inwiefern diese eine Verbindung zum Fortbildungsinhalt aufweisen.
Lesson Play in Mathematics Education:
by Rina Zazkis Nathalie Sinclair Peter LiljedahlLesson play is a novel construct in research and teachers' professional development in mathematics education. Lesson play refers to a lesson or part of a lesson presented in dialogue form--inspired in part by Lakatos's evocative Proofs and Refutations--featuring imagined interactions between a teacher and her/his students. We have been using and refining our use of this tool for a number of years and using it in a variety of situations involving mathematics thinking and learning. The goal of this proposed book is to offer a comprehensive survey of the affordances of the tool, the results of our studies--particularly in the area of pre-service teacher education, and the reasons that the tool offers such productive possibilities for both researchers and teacher educators.
Lesson Study Research and Practice in Mathematics Education
by Alice S. Alston Lynn C. Hart Aki MurataLesson study is a professional development process that teachers engage in to systematically examine their practice, with the goal of becoming more effective. Originating in Japan, lesson study has gained significant momentum in the mathematics education community in recent years. As a process for professional development, lesson study became highly visible when it was proposed as a means of supporting the common practice of promoting better teaching by disseminating documents like standards, benchmarks and nationally validated curricula. While the body of knowledge about lesson study is growing, it remains somewhat elusive and composed of discrete research endeavors. As a new research area there is no coherent knowledge base yet. This book will contribute to the field bringing the work of researchers and practitioners together to create a resource for extant work. This book describes several aspects of Lesson Study, amongst others: it gives an historical overview of the concept, it addresses issues related to learning and teaching mathematics, it looks at the role of the teacher in the process. The last two sections of the book look at how lesson Study can be used with preservice mathematics teachers and at university mathematics methods teaching.
Lesson Study with Mathematics and Science Preservice Teachers: Finding the Form (WALS-Routledge Lesson Study Series)
by Kelly Chandler-Olcott Sharon Dotger Gabriel Matney Jennifer Heckathorn Miranda FoxThis insightful volume offers an overview of the fundamentals of lesson student practice in US teacher education as well as examples from math and science teacher educators using lesson study in their local contexts. The number of teacher educators using lesson study with preservice teachers is small but growing. This book is aimed at teacher educators who may want to try lesson study in university contexts without the challenge of translating the practice from the K-12 context on their own. In this volume, lesson study is broadly overviewed, attention is given to its constituent steps, and examples of lesson study in preservice contexts are shared. Given the broad array of teacher education program designs, numerous contingencies guide teacher educators in their implementation of lesson study, given their contextual affordances and limitations. The lesson study descriptions and cases in this book will support teacher educators and scholars across subject specialities and geographic lines, as they seek instructional frameworks to advance their pedagogical goals.
Lesson Study: A Japanese Approach To Improving Mathematics Teaching and Learning (Studies in Mathematical Thinking and Learning Series)
by Clea Fernandez Makoto YoshidaLesson study is a popular professional development approach in Japan whereby teachers collaborate to study content, instruction, and how students solve problems and reach for understanding in order to improve elementary mathematics instruction and learning in the classroom. This book is the first comprehensive look at the system and process of lesson study in Japan. It describes in detail the process of how teachers conducted lesson study--how they collaborated in order to develop a lesson, what they talked about during the process, and what they looked at in order to understand deeply how students were learning. Readers see the planning of a mathematics lesson, as well as how much content knowledge the teachers have. They observe students' problem solving strategies and learn how Japanese teachers prepare themselves to identify those strategies and facilitate the students' discussion. Written for mathematics teachers, educational researchers, school administrators interested in teachers' professional development, and professional developers, this landmark volume provides an in-depth understanding of lesson study that can lead to positive changes in teachers' professional development and in teaching and learning in the United States.
Lessons Learned from the Great East Japan Earthquake: Birth Outcomes in a Catastrophe in a Highly Aged Society (SpringerBriefs in Population Studies)
by Honami YoshidaThis book provides insights into the enormous impact of fetal and newborn loss in the aftermath of the natural disasters that Japanese society constantly has to face. It first reveals effect of the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011 on the next generation and reproductive attitudes and shows that prenatal care strategies for emergencies had not been established by any local government in Japan. With continuing research on birth outcomes in the area surrounding the catastrophe, the authors emphasize the importance of the pre-hospital obstetric care team in disaster response and highlight the inequality in health care in a highly aging society like Japan, where perinatal health care is given lower priority than elderly care.Following the creation of a specialized project for pre and postnatal care the authors conducted surveys on how community preparedness in maternal and child health for post-disaster areas impacted population changes.This book is a valuable resource for researchers who are interested in the association between rapid population decline and the disaster management system for maternal and child health, as well as the effect of culture, gender bias, and family traditions.
Lessons in Enumerative Combinatorics (Graduate Texts in Mathematics #290)
by Adriano M. Garsia Ömer EğecioğluThis textbook introduces enumerative combinatorics through the framework of formal languages and bijections. By starting with elementary operations on words and languages, the authors paint an insightful, unified picture for readers entering the field. Numerous concrete examples and illustrative metaphors motivate the theory throughout, while the overall approach illuminates the important connections between discrete mathematics and theoretical computer science. Beginning with the basics of formal languages, the first chapter quickly establishes a common setting for modeling and counting classical combinatorial objects and constructing bijective proofs. From here, topics are modular and offer substantial flexibility when designing a course. Chapters on generating functions and partitions build further fundamental tools for enumeration and include applications such as a combinatorial proof of the Lagrange inversion formula. Connections to linear algebra emerge in chapters studying Cayley trees, determinantal formulas, and the combinatorics that lie behind the classical Cayley–Hamilton theorem. The remaining chapters range across the Inclusion-Exclusion Principle, graph theory and coloring, exponential structures, matching and distinct representatives, with each topic opening many doors to further study. Generous exercise sets complement all chapters, and miscellaneous sections explore additional applications. Lessons in Enumerative Combinatorics captures the authors' distinctive style and flair for introducing newcomers to combinatorics. The conversational yet rigorous presentation suits students in mathematics and computer science at the graduate, or advanced undergraduate level. Knowledge of single-variable calculus and the basics of discrete mathematics is assumed; familiarity with linear algebra will enhance the study of certain chapters.

Let History into the Mathematics Classroom
by Évelyne Barbin Jean-Paul Guichard Marc Moyon Patrick Guyot Catherine Morice-Singh Frédéric Métin Martine Bühler Dominique Tournès Renaud Chorlay Gérard HamonThis book brings together 10 experiments which introduce historical perspectives into mathematics classrooms for 11 to 18-year-olds. The authors suggest that students should not only read ancient texts, but also should construct, draw and manipulate. The different chapters refer to ancient Greek, Indian, Chinese and Arabic mathematics as well as to contemporary mathematics. Students are introduced to well-known mathematicians--such as Gottfried Leibniz and Leonard Euler--as well as to less famous practitioners and engineers. Always, there is the attempt to associate the experiments with their scientific and cultural contexts. One of the main values of history is to show that the notions and concepts we teach were invented to solve problems. The different chapters of this collection all have, as their starting points, historic problems--mathematical or not. These are problems of exchanging and sharing, of dividing figures and volumes as well as engineers' problems, calculations, equations and congruence. The mathematical reasoning which accompanies these actions is illustrated by the use of drawings, folding, graphical constructions and the production of machines.
