Mathematics For The Digital Age And Programming In Python

Posted by on Tuesday, 22 February, 2011

iMathematics for the Digital Age and Programming in Python/i is written in the same engaging not-for-dummies style as the Litvins’ earlier books, but it is aimed at younger students It offers a unique blend of mathematics and programming, designed to give students in introductory computer science courses an appreciation for the rigorous mathematics relevant to computing, as well as practical skills for writing programs. pThe vision behind this book is that math and computer science should help each other. A programmer needs to be comfortable with abstractions, and that is precisely what math teaches. Computer science reciprocates by providing models and hands-on exercises that help clarify and illustrate more abstract math. Most importantly, both teach precision thinking an important means of solving problems that call for exact solutions. PPython was chosen because it is a popular commercial programming language that is well-supported, easy to get started with, and free. Python has many powerful features intended for software professionals, but it also has a convenient subset accessible to beginners. PSome students may choose to study AP Computer Science in high school, or major in CS in college. Others may decide to go into math, science, law, art, social sciences, or humanities. Regardless of your goals, iMathematics for the Digital Age and Programming in Python/i will help you gain a better understanding of the computerized world around you.

Content Matters: A Disciplinary Literacy Approach to Improving Student

Posted by on Sunday, 20 February, 2011

An authoritative guide for improving teaching, learning, and literacy in content area classroomsThis book introduces teachers to the Disciplinary Literacy instructional framework developed by the Institute for Learning, University of Pittsburgh. Grounded in the Principles of Learning developed by acclaimed educator Lauren Resnick, the framework is designed to prepare students, grades 6 and up, to master the rigorous academic content learning required for college success. Unlike ‘generic’ teaching models, the framework is specifically tailored for each of the content disciplines. Highly practical, the book shows teachers how to integrate literacy development and thinking practices into their routine content instruction, with separate chapters devoted to math, science, history, and English/language arts. The book also shows how school instructional leaders can support teachers in learning and using this instructional approach.Offers an innovative approach for improving literacy, thinking, and content learning in secondary studentsIncludes detailed instructional guidance plus numerous classroom examples of lessons, dialogs, and teaching routinesFeatures chapters on each of the content areas-math, science, language arts, and social sciencesProvides leadership guidance in implementing the methodForeword written by internationally acclaimed educator and cognitive scientist Lauren ResnickForeword (Lauren B.

Competitor or Ally?: Japan’s Role in American Educational Debates

Posted by on Friday, 18 February, 2011

In this book the authors systematically address the most common stereotypes or myths about Japanese education that are currently being circulated in the popular press, teaching magazines and educational research journals. The authors show how arguments about Japan are used to further political ends within the American educational debate. Some of the myths that the book debunks are Japan’s high adolescent suicide rate. LeTendre and Zeng show that adolescent suicide among males is now twice as high in the U.S. as in Japan. Tsuchida and Lewis take on the myth of Japanese classrooms as crowded places centered on rote-learning — providing detailed evidence as to why Japanese students may indeed have an edge in math. McConnell uses Japan’s highly successful foreign language program to deconstruct images of Japan Inc. — showing the highly fractious and bitter political debates that occur in Japan. Yang provides data on differences in Japanese and American teachers’ work roles — showing that differences in the two educational systems are not simply due to cultural differences, but have a basis in educational policy and school organization. Shimizu offers an alternative view of achievement motivation among Japanese students based on in-depth interviews with Japanese teens.

 

Realms of Knowledge: Academic Departments in Secondary Schools

Posted by on Friday, 18 February, 2011

This study examines academic departments as a context for teaching in the secondary school. lt explores why teachers find departments to be crucial to the high school setting. In all three schools studied and in all four subjects English, Maths, Science and Social Science teachers – even those who felt isolated in their classrooms – located their sense of professional identity, practice and community in their departments. Departments are seen as boundaries for dividing the school; centres of social interaction; a micro political decision-making forum; as a subject knowledge category. Those concerns are important at this time as various attacks are being made on school structures and subject and administration fragmentation – in these cases subjects are seen as obstacles to change. To subject groups they are viewed as potential vehicles to carry and confirm the message.
