Creativity and mathematics education: the state of the art

Sir George Gabriel Stokes PRS was for 30 years an inimitable Secretary of the Royal Society and its President from 1885 to 1890. Two hundred years after his birth, Stokes is a towering figure in physics and applied mathematics; fluids, asymptotics, optics, acoustics among many other fields. At the Stokes 200 meeting, held at Pembroke College, Cambridge from 15–18th September 2019, an invited audience of about 100 discussed the state of the art in all the modern research fields that have sprung from his work in physics and mathematics, along with the history of how we have got from Stokes’ contributions to where we are now. This theme issue is based on work presented at the Stokes 200 meeting. In bringing together people whose work today is based upon Stokes’ own, we aim to emphasize his influence and legacy at 200 to the community as a whole. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Stokes at 200 (Part 1)’.

Research In Mathematics Education

I found the book Selected Issues in Mathematics Education, jointly published with the National Society for the Study of Education, to be a worthy candidate for one's library. It provides interesting perspectives on a wide range of centrally important topics without getting bogged down in “disease of the week” issues that are parochial in nature. The book is not issue oriented in the sense of presenting various positions for the reader to consider and judge. Many of the chapters convey the authors' views of the state of the art in a particular research area. In some sense, the book could be a companion volume to NCTM's professional reference, Research in Mathematics Education. Still, if one is willing to look beyond what the title suggests, Selected Issues generally makes for good reading, as several authors are willing to share their insights into some rather knotty problems that are likely to be with our profession for some time.

Este trabalho destina-se a responder o que foi produzido no Brasil, nos últimos dez anos, em dissertações de mestrado e teses de doutorado, a respeito do tema Educação Matemática Inclusiva. Para este fim, realizou-se um estudo do estado da arte da Educação Matemática Inclusiva, baseado nos resumos e nas palavras-chave de dissertações e teses, que foram selecionadas por meio do banco de teses da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - Capes e busca em páginas do Google Acadêmico. Por meio deste, percebe-se uma tendência para investigações sobre atividades matemáticas digitais e não digitais, que podem auxiliar na aprendizagem de estudantes com deficiências e necessidades educacionais especiais - NEE, atitudes que favorecem essa aprendizagem, compreensão de processos cognitivos envolvidos na aprendizagem matemática, aspectos da formação docente inicial e continuada voltada para a Educação Matemática Inclusiva. Conclui-se que a Educação Matemática Inclusiva é um campo fértil para a realização de novas pesquisas.Palavras-chave: Inclusão. Deficiências. Necessidades Educacionais Especiais.AbstractThe paper attempts to answer: what was produced in Brazil in master’s degree and doctoral theses, over last ten years, regarding the theme inclusion in Mathematics Education? To this end, we carried out a study on the state of the art of Inclusive Mathematics Education, based on the abstracts and keywords of dissertations and theses, consulting the database from Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - Capes and Academic Google webpages. Through this, it is realized a tendency on investigations about digital and non-digital mathematical activities to assist in the students with disabilities’ learning and special educational needs (NEE) and attitudes that promote such learning. Research also seeks to understand the cognitive processes involved in mathematics learning, aspects regarding the initial and continuous Teaching formation focused on Inclusive Mathematics Education . It is concouded that Inclusive mathematics Education is a fertile field for new research.Keywords: Inclusion. Disabilities. Special Educational Needs.

Multiple Ontologies

Understanding the production of knowledge and bodies as propositions and compositions of culturalpractices, we place ourselves in this manuscript to think about the constitutions of bodies and corporealities in cyberspace. This, however, is part of a larger dissertation research, developed in the Graduate Program in Teaching Science and Mathematics Education of the State University of Londrina. Thus, we aim, in this work, to draw up considerations about the confessional technologies as instruments of embodiment and virtualization of the bodies. The considerations are raised from the theoretical reference of inspiration in the Cultural Studies of Sciences and of Education and the contributions left by Michel Foucault. We appropriate such theorizations in the production of analytical lenses, which help us during the process of anthropological immersion carried out in a group-space of the facebook social network, identified here as Vale. This immersion moves in order to inquire about multiple ontologies of the bodies, being used in this manuscript, the concept of technologies of confessionalities. We show in the group, confessional regimes that are active by: a) Confession of micro-stories, in publications, as a way of telling oneself; b) Invitations to confessions as operant of agency of wills and production of archives; and (c) response to invitations to confession.

Various authors have emphasized the spatial information resident in an electron micrograph taken with adequately coherent radiation. In view of the completion of at least one such instrument, this opportunity is taken to summarize the state of the art of processing such micrographs. We use the usual symbols for the aberration coefficients, and supplement these with £ and 6 for the transverse coherence length and the fractional energy spread respectively. He also assume a weak, biologically interesting sample, with principal interest lying in the molecular skeleton remaining after obvious hydrogen loss and other radiation damage has occurred.
