Career Information

The November 1961 issue of the Mathematics Teacher carried an article entitled “A Bibliography for Careers in Mathematics” in which I spoke of the need to make career information available to both high school students and their teachers. The need still exists, and in an attempt to bring the annotated bibliography up to date I list further references that may be helpful to students and teachers.

Abstract Populations are aging dramatically, and call for higher education to be more age-friendly and pave the way for career paths in aging. The Careers in Aging Week (CIAW) program sponsored annually by the Academy for Gerontology in Higher Education (AGHE) of GSA has been a core stimulus for building career interest – however, more could be done to strengthen and invigorate this effort. This symposium will show how intergenerational exchange can be used to mount interest in careers in aging and create new pipelines to gerontology programs in higher education. Examples of innovative approaches will demonstrate how career information can be communicated to students in more creative and compelling ways. The first paper will set the stage with an evidence-based overview of emerging areas for career development, and a presentation of career planning models to aid student understanding as to how to make aging career decisions. Two presentations will then focus on different aging-workforce initiatives aimed at building educational pipelines that connect high-school students with college students studying gerontology. In addition to highlighting the oft-overlooked population of high school students, attention will be given to the importance of including minority student populations in career development efforts. The final paper will describe the utility of broader intergenerational strategies that build bridges across students, educators, aging professionals, and community collaborators via campus career events. The discussant will bring these efforts together with an intergenerational programming lens that higher education can use to amplify awareness about the wide-range of career opportunities aging offers.

The present Project developed at Escola Família Agrícola Dom Antonio Possamai - EFADAP, aims to report the experimental activities, with the Mathematics teacher together with high school students, thus building rockets using a PET bottle in the study of concepts from physics, mathematics and chemistry, aiming to bring students closer to experimental activities, showing at the same time, the combination of theory and practice, where they would have autonomy to elaborate and test their hypotheses about the chemical reaction used in the rocket. The experiment is proposed to students and the teacher is a mediator of the process of study and application of knowledge, organizing weekly classes, until the end of the project. In the final considerations, the steps that students used to develop the experiment during classes are presented as a result of the development of the activity.

This paper reports on the results of the design and implementation of a didactic device proposed by a mathematics teacher-trainee. This student did a course designed for didactic - mathematical training with the aim of adopting a non-traditional didactic model based on research, while linking mathematics with other disciplines. The teacher-trainee developed its implementation in a senior- course of an Argentine high school. This didactic device is based on the analysis of a real and present situation whose study allows to make some gestures of the questioning world paradigm, in the current conditions of an Argentine high school.

During the past several years, workforce issues have immerged as a dominant concern for shipbuilding and repair companies. Related issues include concern about “aging” of the workforce, lack of basic technical education, career transition processes, recruitment and training of the new workforce, retention and training of the incumbent workforce, image of the industry, and lack of career information for middle and high school students. Large turnover combined with retirement of aging workforce is anticipated to create large demands for qualified workforce. The Shipbuilding and Repair Career Day Events (SBRCD) project was conceived in response to this critical need of workforce in shipbuilding and repair industry. This project was funded by the National Shipbuilding research Program to increase awareness about careers in marine industry. The paper discusses the multi-pronged effort within the SBRCD project to inform and engage middle and high school students, teachers and counselors about career opportunities in this industry. The paper also discusses the design and development of four simulation activities known as marine kits to engage students in shipbuilding related projects. These activities are tied to Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) so teachers can use them in classrooms without loosing time. The Marine Kits were pilot tested and results are discussed.

Available research supports a belief that a highquality mathematics education for high school students cannot be accomplished unless a highly qualified mathematics teacher is in the classroom. In the January 2004 issue of the Mathematics Teacher, Robert Reys addressed the shortage of highly qualified teachers. In the February 2004 issue Robert and Barbara Reys provided a summary of the work they are leading in Missouri to recruit persons who have the potential to become highly qualified teachers of mathematics. I have assisted them in that work. The undertaking is important and, as they report, appears to be achieving some short-term success. I believe that the national shortage of high-quality mathematics teachers will not be significantly alleviated, however, until we focus our major effort on the retention side of the issue.

Manipulative materials have become an increasingly important part of mathematics instruction. The point has been argued that manipulatives make mathematics more intriguing, easier to understand, and even more fun to learn. The challenge for the mathematics teacher is to find new and interesting materials that help students better understand mathematics and better remember the mathematics that they have learned. Lima beans and small paper cups are one effective alternative for helping junior high school students learn how to solve simple algebraic equation.
