Of all the aids to teaching and learning in the history of schooling, the textbook is the most venerable and the most disputed. In the school textbook, we meet fundamental problems of didactics. The textbook can aid the reacher in making decisions about instructional content and about pedagogical intention and methodology. The teacher may adopt ideas straight from the book or may modify, or possibly reject, them on the basis of his or her experience, knowledge, or personal concept of “good” mathematics instruction. In any case, the textbook presents essential guidel ines and has a considerable impact on the teacher's activities. At the same time, the textbook is expected to serve as a working manual for the pupil. It ought to motivate pupils, give them a chance to use and experiment with mathematics, and allow them to work out mathematical concepts or problems on their own. Most modern mathematics textbooks indeed claim to be pupils' books, but a closer view shows that they nre really addressed to the reacher. These and other problems concerning how to conceive of, and work with, school mathematics textbooks have seldom been discussed in teacher training programs.

The use and importance of technology in teaching and learning processes is well established in teacher training programs and teaching literature; however, integration of technology in meaningful ways remains a challenge. For teacher candidates to be able to effectively integrate technology in the classrooms, they need to experience meaningful technology pedagogical practices during teacher training. This chapter synthesizes well-established and relatively new technology pedagogical strategies that could be used with teacher candidates. The aim is to provide a summary of research-based strategies for teacher educators interested in improving technology integration in their teacher training programs.

This chapter introduces the intellectual and cultural history of the continental theories and theorists that led to the development of object lessons. Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi and his followers developed classroom practices premised on the notion that information was to be drawn out of children, not crammed into them. Physical engagement with the world was a way to draw that information from children through sense training exercises, or Anschauungunterricht. From Pestalozzi’s famed (but only marginally successful) Swiss schoolrooms, his student Charles Mayo transplanted the ideas that became the basis of object lessons to England. There, through the work of Charles’s sister Elizabeth Mayo, they became the highly regimented foundation for the Home and Colonial Schools teacher training programs and were employed in England, Scotland, India, and Canada, among other places.

This note is directed toward two complaints heard recently: (1) that the study of the history of mathematics has not significantly improved the teaching of mathematics in spite of having been recommended or required in teacher training programs for years, and (2) that angular measure, radians and mils in particular, is hard to teach, not meaningful, and should be omitted on the secondary level at least.

History Of

The replacement of direct human interaction by the computer connected to the internet is one of the most radical reforms in the history of education. In the first part, we show chronologically how–unlike correspondence, radio and television–the internet is the only technology that has sought to replace human interaction in teacher education training in Colombia. By consulting databases, we describe the institutionalization of online programs in terms of a maelstrom with problems and tensions that occur while growing exponentially to represent 18.3% and 33.8% of the offer in higher education and educational sciences in Colombia. In a second part, we compared the experience of 1,206 teachers who study postgraduate teacher training programs in Bogotá in both online and face-to-face modes through a student survey and a writing test. The results indicate lower weighted performances in the theoretical content and work volume among those who study their programs in the online modality, as well as a lower but statistically non-significant mean in teachers enrolled in online programs. The history and problems encountered in the importation of curricular models entirely based on the internet warrants being studied empirically in the teacher training programs to determine their educational effects.

The book Research on Curricula and Cultures: tensions, movements and creations, organized by Marlucy Alves Paraíso and Maria Patrícia Silva, it consists of 17 chapters, one of which is an interesting work by a Canadian scholar who investigates state anti-feminism. The other chapters bring results from 16 researches developed by researchers from the Study and Research Group on Curricula and Cultures (GECC), created and coordinated by Marlucy Alves Paraíso, which has researchers from several Brazilian universities and states. The articles in the book combine the post-critical perspectives used to investigate curricula and cultures in their different nuances, addressing silences, power relations, modes of subjectivation and the movements that prevent their fixity. The book brings research results that discuss the possibilities of creating possibilities at school and in other cultural spaces that also have curricula and develop pedagogies, such as: cyberspace, city, health care programs, teacher training programs, educational policies, etc. In addition, curricula are investigated with emphasis on different practices and aspects: childhood, art, music, dance, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, corporality, politics, with research that also innovates methodologically when operating with openings, experiments, do-it-yourself and compositions in different ways. to research curricula without rigidity, although with the necessary rigor in academic research. O livro reconhece de diferentes modos as possibilidades de conexões entre currículos e culturas, e mostra movimentos capazes de operar transgressões apostando em uma cultura porvir.

Abstract For several decades, the history of interdisciplinary education and the development of AGHE initiatives have been closely linked. The need to educate colleagues on methods and benefits of interdisciplinary/ interprofessional cooperation toward service and research of aging has never waned. In this presentation we (a) highlight how AGHE has performed as a potent incubator for progress in this area and (b) use a few examples to illustrate how notable resulting efforts have improved geriatric care. For example, early and significant infusion of federal funds for gerontology training programs supported multi-disciplinary university-based centers, the Veterans Health Administration created interprofessional geriatric training programs, foundations such as John A. Hartford and Josiah Macy founded team training and interprofessional education programs, and the Health Resources and Services Administration funded Geriatric Education Centers and Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Programs. Efforts to advance interdisciplinary/interprofessional education have been fruitful and AGHE’s role as an incubator continues to evolve.
