This essay uses an enactive approach to map out the ways Ontario teachers, students, and parents have reimagined online mathematics education at K-12 level during COVID-19 pandemic. The highlights importance of researchers using appropriate framework in understanding emerging realities. It encourages pay attention this call action while recognizing that such is not without challenges. To address challenges, must engage with evolving environment community by innovating reimagining their...
The instrumental approach is a useful theoretical lens for understanding students' learning processes with main focus on the transformation of an artefact (a human design goal-directed activity) into meaningful instrument (i.e. and schemes developed by student). In this paper, we articulate computer programming technology use in context pure or applied mathematical investigation. We illustrate it examining engagement (scheme development) undergraduate student engaged 'authentic'...
This article describes a conceptual framework developed to illuminate how prospective teachers' learning experiences are shaped by didactic-sensitive activities in departments of mathematics. We draw from the teachers Department Mathematics at our institution designing, implementing (i.e. computer programming) and testing mathematics objects. Based on Mason's work awareness, pilot small-scale study, reflections practice, we identified ownership, engagement, pride as keys for positive...
The paper argues for the significance of complexity science and its role in ethics teaching that is not based on moral codes. Through work Varela human consciousness, Newburg his colleagues neurotheology, explores elements consciousness are relevant characterising an ethical act. Varela’s concepts emergent self autopoiesis as well Newburg’s concept Absolute Unitary Being provide necessary conditions characterizing act essentially unconscious. Finally discusses implication these contentions teaching.
ABSTRACTIn this article, we seek to understand how university students learn use programming for mathematical investigations; our precise focus is on the analysis of social elements in operational knowledge elucidates learning. We propose a framework coordinating instrumental approach and communities practice (CoP) theory. apply it context project-based courses (MICA courses), where CoP mathematicians using their research reference. investigate schemes associated with language its...
Recess is often a topic overlooked in pedagogical theory due to its presumed simplicity. The essence of recess connects with play as physical counterpart well-rounded education. In this article we explore the relationship has and well-being pragmatikos (systematic usefulness) regards schooling lieu deep ecological frameworks systems (wholism) systemic, nonlinear dynamics. We argue that current conceptualisation—in contradistinction work or study—is counterfeit metaphysical based on writings...
Inspired by Brent Davis' conceptualization of listening and conversation in his book Teaching Mathematics: Toward a Sound Alternative, we propose how as mathematics education community may move forward continuing the that emerged from COVID. We encourage all involved to listen rather than assume discussion-oriented stance. Using an enactivist lens, look at pandemic learning space, give overview Ontario, offer way rethink Mathematics Education within frame conversation. believe if is engage...
