By situating this article within disability studies, decolonial studies and postcolonial studies, my purpose is to explore orientations towards independence within public school practices and show how this serves to reinforce hierarchies of exclusion. As feminist, queer and postcolonial scholar Ahmed (2006, p. 3) contends, “Orientations shape not only how we inhabit, but how we apprehend this world of shared inhabitance as well as ‘who’ or ‘what’ we direct our energy toward” (Ahmed, 2006, p. 3). I wonder how the policies and practices that I am oriented towards as a public school teacher limit the possibilities of encountering teaching and learning as a mode of reckoning and apprehending “this world of shared inhabitance?” I also wonder how remaining oriented towards independence as the goal of learning simultaneously sustains an adherence to colonial western logics under the current neoliberal ethos. Through Ahmed’s provocation I explore how the gaze of both teachers and students in public schools remains oriented towards independent learning in a manner that sustains conditions of exclusion, marginalization and oppression.

The research aims to develop teacher and student handbooks for realistic mathematics lessons for elementary schools. The development of this handbook is based on the reality in the field where the handbook of teachers and students especially the subjects using the 2013 curriculum still do not exist, and in daily learning activities teachers and students still use books that use themes. This research uses development research (Developmental Research). The subjects of this study were grade V students of SD Negeri 163085, H.A Bilal Tebingtinggi City and SD Negeri 106162, Medan Estate District, Deliserdang Regency. In the initial stage, observations were made during the learning process at the two schools and continued with interviews with students and teachers. From the results of these observations and interviews a primary school realistic mathematics teacher and student handbook was prepared. Furthermore, the realistic elementary school mathematics teacher and student handbook is validated by a team that aims to see and assess the quality of the realistic elementary school teacher and student mathematics handbook in order to arrange an effective handbook that will be used by teachers and students in learning. The validation results show that realistic mathematics teacher and student handbooks are developed in both categories and can be used in teaching and learning. The media book test was conducted on grade V students of SD Negeri 163085 Tebingtinggi city and SD Negeri 106162 Medan Estate Deliserdang Regency. The trial results show that the elementary school teacher and student mathematics handbook is effective and can help facilitate understanding of mathematical concepts at the elementary school level. This can be seen from the number of students who can reach the KKM from the two schools is increasing. For SD Negeri 163085 HA Bilal, Tebingtinggi City, if at the time of the pre-test only 1 student (3%) was able to reach the KKM, then after being given the learning process using a teacher and student handbook developed the number of students who could reach the KKM increased to 24 students (82.7%) while those under the KKM were only (17.3%) or 5 students. The same thing was seen in SD Negeri 106162, Medanestate Subdistrict, Deliserdang Regency. If at the time of the Pre-test only 2 students (6.6%) had scored above the KKM, after the post-test there was an increase in students who achieved the KKM score of 25 students (83.3%). An increase of 76.7% when compared to the pre test. Keywords: Handbook, teacher, student, PMR

This chapter introduces a new paradigm of learning and teaching that aims to develop students’ contextualized multiple intelligence (CMI) and create unlimited opportunity for students’ lifelong independent learning through a triplization process including individualization, localization, and globalization in teaching and learning. In particular, the chapter illustrates how students’ self-learning can be motivated, sustained, and highly enhanced in an individually, locally, and globally networked human and ICT environment. Different from the traditional emphasis on delivery of knowledge and skills in planned curriculum, the new paradigm pursues the extensive application of ICT and enhancement of teachers and students’ ICT literacy in building up a networked environment for students’ individualized, localized, and globalized learning and CMI development. It is hoped that students equipped with the necessary ICT literacy can become borderless learners with unlimited opportunities for learning and development in a networked environment.

In this Voices Inside Schools essay, William Marinell describes the efforts of a public school teacher to improve her students' writing by attempting to increase their connectivity to their community. By designing photojournalism projects that prompt students to capture their authentic experiences, the teacher hopes to challenge the students'negative perceptions of their community, which she believes have a negative effect on her students' performance in school. Marinell elaborates on the personal and pedagogical dilemmas that the teacher faced while engaged in this work and how her instructional objectives and pedagogical approaches evolved as she gained an appreciation for the complex issues that arise when teachers and students attempt to depict their community.

Having prepared a case of insects for a Toronto Public School teacher, for her class-room, I thought it might be a stimulus to others to do likewise, if the details were given some publicity.All of us wiht medium-sized or large collections have duplicates enough from which to select material for such a case without impoverishing our collections, and now that so many public schools have departments of manual training there should be no difficulty in getting the teachers in these departments to co-operate by supplying the necessary cases.

Technical Failures

Multimedia-based teaching and learning is an interesting, interactive, innovative and individualized teaching-learning mode. But according to our survey, there are often some problems in multimedia teaching and learning in practice, such as: lack of emotional exchange between students and teachers, insufficiency of student’s independent learning ability, students’ dilemma in what to choose to learn from diverse online contents, unexpected technical failures, etc. All these factors affect the effectiveness of multimedia teaching. Teachers and students who involve in the multimedia-based English teaching-learning should pay full attention to the problems above, so as to take full advantage of the multimedia technology to improve the effectiveness of the multimedia teaching and learning.

The Right

A set of principles for teaching and learning can serve us well. We may become more aware of our aims, more consistent in our communications with students and parents, more articulate at stating our positions, more adept at describing our rationales. There is a security that comes with knowing the principles, the tenets, to which we ascribe. Principles give us a platform for making choices and taking directions. Instead of rudderless improvisation, we can check ourselves to judge if we are on or off the path we have chosen. “Principles are important to us because they shape boundar­ies and supply tracks for our choices and behaviors as teach­ers . . . . Our principles form the foundation on which we base our actions and build our teaching identities . . . . Knowing our principles makes us better teachers. Because we know on what foundations our behaviors are based, we see congruency with those foundations in all that we do, say, and think as we work with students” Bennett and Bartholomew’s principles for teaching and learn­ing provide one example of principles that can guide our school practices. Principle 1: Students have the right to be treated with respect and dignity for their ideas, skills, and stages of development. Principle 2: Students deserve an engaging learning environment in which they feel safe enough to demonstrate freely their understandings and skills through various types of participation. Principle 3: Student learning is the responsibility of both teachers and students. Principle 4: Learning is holistic and constructive. Principle 5: A teacher’s attitudes, behaviors, and methodologies should be compatible with one another. Principle 6: Quality of life is enriched through music and singing.

Missing Link

Over 5 million students and 28,000 schools are consistently marginalized or left out of statistics that describe evolution and science education. Although they are relatively few in number compared with their public school counterparts, the millions of students and hundreds of thousands of teachers in private schools need to be counted in research about teaching and learning in the biology classroom. Assumptions have been made about how teachers in these often religious schools teach evolution, but do we have verifiable data? Could teachers in these schools be similar to those in public schools in their teaching of evolution, or is there a silent undercurrent that has not been detected? It is the purpose of this study to reveal more about this underrepresented segment of the population of science teachers.

The purpose of the study is to find out the opinions of head teachers and students on classroom factors that affect performance of students in integrated science at the Junior High Schools in Kumasi Metropolis. The study used a descriptive survey. The sampling procedure employed for the study was both random and purposive sampling. A sample of two hundred and twenty (220) subjects participated in the study. The instruments that were used in the study were questionnaire and interview schedule. It was found out that most of the students in the public schools have greater access to integrated science text books as against their private school counterparts. Supervision is regularly carried out in the private schools by the head teachers but not much can be seen at the public schools and this has the tendency of improving teaching and learning of science at the private school. It was recommended that effective supervision must be performed regularly by heads of schools during integrated science lessons.

ResumoNa educação básica, as primeiras noções sobre o plano cartesiano iniciam com a identificação dos eixos coordenados e com a compreensão de que estes dividem o plano em quatro regiões chamadas de quadrantes. Esse entendimento se estende com a compreensão das noções relativas à posição, localização de figuras e deslocamentos no plano cartesiano. O objetivo do trabalho foi propor estratégias didático-metodológicas com o GeoGebra na abordagem matemática de quadrantes no plano cartesiano. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, de caráter exploratório, desenvolvida com professores de matemática do ensino fundamental II (do 6º ao 9º ano) de escolas públicas. A escolha do GeoGebra foi pelas funcionalidades que podem contribuir para o entendimento da temática. As estratégias didático-metodológicas foram elaboradas em fichas padronizadas e detalhadas para que professores e alunos tenham um roteiro de orientação durante a atividade.Palavras-chave: Software gratuito, Ensino fundamental (6º ao 9º ano), Educação matemática.AbstractIn elementary education, initial notions of the Cartesian plane start with identification of coordinate axes and the recognition that these divide planes into four quadrants.  This initial understanding extends to notions related to position, location, and displacement in the Cartesian plane. Our objective was to propose didactic-methodological strategies to introduce Cartesian quadrants using GeoGebra.  This qualitative study had an exploratory nature and was developed with middle-school teachers (6th to 9th grades) from public schools. GeoGebra was chosen because of features that contribute to building an understanding of the topic. The didactic-methodological strategies were standardised and detailed so that teachers and students would be guided throughout the activity.Keywords: Free software, Middle school (6th to 9th grade), Mathematics education.ResumenEn la educación básica, las primeras nociones sobre el plano cartesiano comienzan con la identificación de los ejes coordinados y con la comprensión de que dividen el plano en cuatro regiones llamadas cuadrantes.
