Leadership Diversity

Combining both leadership and diversity, the author’s define “leadership diversity” to be: leadership that engages followers that is inclusive to gender, culture, and the social context of the followers. In this chapter, a theoretical framework called “Technological Mathematical Leadership Diversity” (TMLD). TMLD refers to using technology to engage all followers’ mathematic learning that is inclusive of their gender, culture, and social context. As mathematics educators, it is important to understand that our role as chief instructor is changing; students are now taking control of their education. The infusion of Web 2.0 is changing how students learn and receive their information. The author set out to answer three questions through the TMLD lens: 1) Will the technology be applied to something already done? 2) Will the technology be used in such a way that it improves upon the way an existing task is done? 3) Will the technology allow us to do things that could not easily be done before? Within this context, the authors organize the technology into two distinct categories “productivity” and “cognitive” based off their primary usage. The rising cost of higher education is driving students to find ways to obtain their education in the quickest time and least expensive way possible. While in pursuit of this, it is important that diversity leadership is maintained. Using frameworks such as TMLD, the authors are able to examine the existence and potential effectiveness of a technological tool. These changes can affect mathematics education in a drastic way.

The Right

Trying to decide what is best suited for someone or something is an ever enduring task let alone trying to prepare students with the right engineering mind. So ‘how do you build an engineer?’ if that is the right word. What is the right ingredient? Mathematics has been said as the most important foundation in engineers’ life. Curriculum has been developed and reviewed over the years to meet this target. This work explores how much or lack of it has the curriculum prepares the future technologist to face the world of engineering technology as far as mathematics is concerned. Analysis of mathematics lectures, interviews of engineering technologist students and engineering technology subject lecturer is undertaken. Understand what each contributes help in understanding the picture that the current education is painting. Based on the theory of learning, APOS theory helps in explaining how students bridge their knowledge of mathematics when it comes to solving engineering technology problems. The question is, is it a bridge too far?

Level Of Understanding

APOS (Action-Process-Object-Schema) learning theory is the result of the studies of a mathematics education research group named Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education Community (RUMEC), whose aim is to examine students’ level of comprehending university mathematics subjects. This study aimed to investigate how secondary mathematics education pre-service teachers in a public university structured the geometric dimension of the concept of derivative in their minds in the context of the components of the APOS theory. As data collection tools, questions developed by Çekmez [1] based on the genetic decomposition of Asiala, Dubinsky, Cottrill and Schwingendorf [2] for the geometric dimension of derivatives were used. The study revealed that secondary mathematics education pre-service teachers did not have the mental structures related to this topic and could not learn it at the desired level.

Technology In Higher Education

The number of learning opportunities that are technology mediated (E-learning) is increasing as institutions of higher learning discover the value of technology in reaching larger numbers of students. The challenge for those instructors who implement such technology in higher education is to correctly apply pedagogy that has been successful in student learning to these new delivery methods. In some cases new pedagogy is being created. For successful facilitation of knowledge to take place, instructors must make students partners in the process, help them learn to reflect about their activities, and focus on course outcomes rather than the technology itself. We will share key E-learning pedagogy from different areas of specialty (mathematics education, special education, and instructional technology) in higher education.

<p>The 21st century is an era of the coexistence of opportunities and challenges. Domestic higher education and modern science and technology have obtained unprecedented development, making people more clearly understand the vital role of mathematics, which is both pressure and power for college mathematics teaching. In addition, due attention should be taken on the problems in mathematics teaching. This paper dwells on the problems and opportunities of mathematics education in colleges and universities, hoping to find and solve the root causes of problems in the teaching process from three aspects of teachers, schools and students, so as to improve the quality and efficiency of mathematics teaching.</p>

Religion assumes a conclusive role in vast parts of life, including creating inspiration and motivation in learning and constituting certain knowledge. Obviously, mathematics is a delicate subject for numerous students in any education level. By examining a religious role in term of mathematics and the obligation to learn about, religion may convey its importance in present-day, an era that requests high aptitude in mathematics. This study, utilizing library research method to exhibit relevant elements of religion, as inspiration and motivation, that can support the scholarly activities, particularly learning and developing mathematics idea in classroom. The notion of 'sacred science' from Seyyed Hossein Nasr was utilized to uncover the significant function of religion, particularly Islam, in looking for knowledge. Nasr considered that God, extraordinary preeminent entity, radiates in a profane world. Based on this idea, a motivation to embrace the ultimate reality and its numerical structure in nature is a type of intimacy to God. This writing demonstrates that religion still has its relevance in everyday scholastic exercises, including mathematics education. The teaching-learning process of mathematics will be increasingly meaningful for students by embeddings religion values as inspiration and motivation and considering its activities as a worship to .
