A book on matrix algebra authored by able students in grades 10-12 was the result of a teaching-learning experiment in an NSF Summer Institute in Mathematics for High School Teachers. The experiment might serve as a model for classroom and/or laboratory activities at any grade level and with different ability groups.

Current Concerns

Several MESA Members met in October to organize a two-week summer institute for high school teachers on the general subject of teaching about Islam and the Arab world. Having determined the overall topics to be addressed, we decided to leave one session open to deal with whatever might be “The Crisis of the Day.” Someone asked, “But what if there isn’t a crisis?” Such a possibility seemed quite unthinkable to most of us. “I’m sure there will be something,” said one person. And another, for good measure, added, “And if there isn’t, we can make one up.”This rather cynical view of the importance of conflict in the overall reality of the Middle East may remind some of us of the distorted joke about the scorpion and the frog crossing the river, often repeated by speakers with the clincher, “This is the Middle East.” In reality, however, it may reflect a deeper concern that many of us have. What is this Middle East to the study of which we have devoted our lives? Have we somehow created an entity for our own needs and purposes that may not correspond to reality?

This research (the second part of a 2-part study) sought to investigate selected high school teachers’ knowledge and use of a problem solving approach to mathematics teaching and learning. It also examined the challenges that they experienced in implementing this pedagogical approach. A survey research design was used for this research whereby data were collected using a questionnaire with closed- and open-ended items. Thirty-one high school teachers from Jamaica participated in the study. The findings indicated that the teachers generally used a problem solving approach during instruction very regularly and felt extremely competent when using the approach. Some of the most frequently reported challenges included students’ lack of interest and tenacity in solving problems; teachers’ heavy workload; and the time consuming nature of the approach. One key recommendation to address the challenges raised is implementation of professional development for teachers to guide them in effectively incorporating problem solving as a teaching/learning approach in the mathematics classroom.

Comparative Examination

This study measured high school students' thought disposition through a questionnaire on critical thinking. Factor analysis of the questionnaire revealed 4 factors that showed the aspects of thought disposition. Each factor score was examined to determine differences relating to gender and student grade level. The results showed that no significant differences were identified except in one factor. The thought disposition of high school teachers was also measured. The results of a comparative examination between students and teachers revealed significant differences.

RESUMO:Este estudo tem como objetivo compreender a importância da formação contínua dos professores do Ensino Médio do CESEC (Centro Estadual de Educação Continuada) Augusta Raquel da Silveira, em Lagamar-MG, como uma forma de possibilitar a adoção de novas tecnologias, especificamente o Tablet Educacional, em suas propostas pedagógicas. Como método de trabalho, escolheu-se a pesquisa-ação. Assim, por meio da implantação de três ações – formação técnica, formação pedagógica e elaboração e desenvolvimento de um plano de aula utilizando o aparelho – foi possível apresentar aos professores da instituição conhecimentos técnicos e pedagógicos referentes ao manuseio do tablet, além de proporcionar a aplicação prática do aparelho, com as devidas orientações e suporte, na rotina educacional de cada profissional. A partir do desenvolvimento das ações, foi construído e sistematizado um conjunto de saberes inerentes ao Tablet Educacional, que contribuíram para que os professores conhecessem a relevância da sua utilização, de modo a usufruírem suas possibilidades e recursos que subsidiam, de forma significativa, o trabalho docente e o processo de ensino-aprendizagem.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: tecnologias na educação; formação de professores; formação contínua de professores. ABSTRACT:The present study aimed at understanding the importance of continuing development of CESEC’s (State Center of Continuing Education) Augusta Raquel da Silveira High School teachers in Lagamar, in the state of Minas Gerais, as a form of enabling the adoption of new technologies, especially the Educational Tablet, to their pedagogical purposes. The action-research was chosen as the method of work. Thus, through the implementation of three actions – technical training, pedagogical training, and elaboration and development of a lesson plan using the Educational Tablet –, it was possible to present to the school teachers technical and pedagogical knowledge about the tablet, promoting its practical use with the necessary guidance and support for their educational routine. From the development of the actions, a body of knowledge concerning the Educational Tablet was constructed and systematized, which contributed for the teachers to get to know it and understand how relevant it is to employ it so as to explore its possibilities and resources that significantly subsidize the teaching work and the teaching-learning process. KEYWORDS: technology in education; teacher development; continuing teacher development.
