Vital Component

Good readers evaluate as they go along, open to triggers and alarms which warn that something is not quite right, or that something has not been understood. Evaluation is a vital component of information literacy, a keystone for reading with understanding. It is also a complex, complicated process. Failure to evaluate well may prove expensive. The nature and amount of information on the Internet make evaluation skills ever more necessary. Looking at research studies in reading and in evaluation, real-life problems are suggested for teaching, modelling and discussion, to bring greater awareness to good, and to less good, readers.

Mathematical Systems

In the November 1970 issue of the Arithmetic Teacher there appeared my article, “Mathematical Systems and Their Relationship to the Real World.” One point I made is that mathematics provides us with a vast array of symbols and concepts to use in solving real-life problems. When we use mathematics to solve a real problem, we make certa in mental associations between mathematical symbols and real objects. I suggested that arguments sometimes arise because two persons may make different associations, mathematical symbols to real objects, and each thinks his associations are correct while the other person's are incorrect.

Out Of School

“Why do I have to do this math? This is not something I need to know. I will not use it when I get out of school!” exclaimed Jesse and some of his classmates. Have you ever heard these comments? In the past, my students were learning the concepts, hut they were not associating the importance of mathematics and its uses in the real world. This year, I have tried to show the students in my eighth-grade mathematics class how mathematics will apply to their lives, whether they work on a ranch, work in the oil fields, or get a higher education after high school.

Equality In Education

Abstract Gender issues become hot phenomena today. The demand for equality in education, economy, politics, social and culture is so strong that it tries to stop gender issues rush. It occurs when women feel that there is unfairness between women and men rights. The unfairness is in the form of subordination, marginalization, inequality in responsibility and also women stereotype. The writer tries to find out the gender issues in the English Reference Book for 2nd year students of Senior High School entitled Informational English written by Bambang Kiswanto and Tony Rogers and published by Widya Utama in 2005. He investigates the use of language and also pictures which shows gender issues. Then, he compares it with theories and also facts in the real world. The writer finds that there are some gender issues in the book. They are in the form of inequality in the percentage of women and men pictures, the use of English pronouns, professions, emotion expressed in texts, famous persons, artists and also characterizations. In conclusion, the book illustrates some gender issues which often occur in the real life.

Axiomatic Systems

The teaching of geometry in the elementary school can be an exciting experience; children are receptive to experimentation, and many activities can be devised to facilitate learning. Generally, however, the use of exploration in geometry decreases as students progress through school and as they begin the study of formal axiomatic systems. In the higher grades we need to present interesting uses of geometry that will allow students to develop their powers of exploration and problem solving. The purpose of this article is to outline an example of how geometry serves as a model in the real world and to suggest how it might be used at the high school level.

Many scholars are enthusiastic about the potential learning opportunities present in the sandbox-style gaming environment, Minecraft. In the following case study, the authors explored the use of Minecraft in a high school literature class and the presentation of characterization and plot in three student-made machinima, or films made in the game world. The authors demonstrate that Minecraft offers a unique opportunity for students to display their creativity and understanding of concepts in ways that are more feasible than if they were attempted in the “real” world. It is also relevant to point out that the epistemology associated Minecraft is constructionist in its nature, which implicates a different style of instruction than is typically employed in the U.S. classroom. The authors pose some questions about the diffusion of games like Minecraft in the future, based on their discussion of similar technologies in the past.

Teaching Ideas

After teaching high school mathematics for many years I found the perfect way to respond to the students' question, “How are we ever going to use this in the real world?” Two or three weeks into the school year I ask each student to make a career poster. The student must interview someone who uses mathematics in his or her job and write down an actual problem that person would have to solve as well as a paragraph explaining the problem. Most students think that they don't know anyone who uses mathematics at work, including parents, relatives, or neighbors. Usually they come back the next day to report, to their surprise, that their parents use mathematics! This discovery is a revelation to them.

Life Problems

How middle school students view mathematics is a function of what they learn and how they learn it. Evidence from actual classrooms shows that a serious disconnection sometimes occurs between what students think mathematics can deliver and the real world (Burrill 1997). Students must have the opportunity to discover multiple ways to solve real-life problems through problem solving, using estimation and conjecture, and developing critical communication skills in the classroom.
