Supapo West Visayas State University College of Education La Paz, Iloilo City, Philippines brazamelanie@gmail.com swedensupaposobrevega@gmail.com ABSTRACT This study was an attempt to find out the problems and solutions of one rural grade 7 teacher in a Philippine public high school in the implementation of K to 12 Mathematics curriculum. It is believed that knowledge is constructed when learners are able to draw ideas from their own experiences and connects them to new ideas while cooperative learning puts premium on active learning achieved by working with fellow learners as they all engage in a shared task. There were three main problem categories/themes including administrativerelated, teacher-related and student-related. The findings include: (a) lack of trainings, seminars, unclear standard operating procedures, (b) late arrival and lack of modules, (c) developing/weak teaching skills and strategies, (d) teacher’s difficulty in teaching the subjects or contents, (e)lack of time to tackle the content efficiently, (f) unavailability or lack of instructional materials, (g) non-mastery of the basic concepts and skills, (h) poor problem solving and critical thinking skills (i) indifferent student behaviour. The solutions are sharing of modules or guides, conducting cooperative learning class,...

...towards mathematics in order to foster meaningful teaching and learning of mathematics. Images of mathematics seem to be profoundly shaped by epistemological, philosophical, and pedagogical perspectives of one who views mathematics either as priori or a posteriori, absolute or relative, and concrete or nominal. These images, as perceived by an individual can play a significant role in the development of attitudes towards mathematics in the long run. Images of mathematics can have possible negative and positive impacts on teaching and learning of mathematics with the subsequent development of attitudes toward mathematics as positive or negative and also associated mathematics anxiety. A theoretical model with different combinations of images, anxieties, and attitudes toward mathematics can be a helpful tool to develop an understanding of the different relationships among them. Some pedagogical implications can be drawn from these relationships. Key Words: Image of mathematics, Mathematics anxiety, Attitude toward mathematics, Affect in mathematics education Introduction How do students perceive mathematics in schools? What are different images of mathematics that students perceive? How these images impact their learning? What is math anxiety? What are the causes of math anxiety? What is the relation of image of mathematics as perceived by students with math anxiety? What are different attitudes toward mathematics? How these attitudes impact learning mathematics? How...

...One of the most well-known names in history, Galileo Galilei was a pioneer in astronomy, mathematics and physics. Alive during an age of new ideas, Galileo was an undisputed leader of the scientific revolution. Pioneering in the fields of celestial observation, heliocentrism, and kinematics, amongst a plethora of others, he made a lasting impression on the world. This impression was not always in his favor, though, leaving him the victim of a Catholic Church reeling from the Protestant Reformation, who sentenced him to house arrest for his work. Galileo’s life and scientific work was shaped by the times that he lived in, first by inspiring and aiding his discoveries, and then by hindering his further exploration. Born in the northern Italian...

...feProfessional Standards for Teachers and Trainers in Education and Training – England Introduction Teachers and trainers are reflective and enquiring practitioners who think critically about their own educational assumptions, values and practice in the context of a changing contemporary and educational world. They draw on relevant research as part of evidence-based practice. They act with honesty and integrity to maintain high standards of ethics and professional behaviour in support of learners and their expectations. Professional skills Professional values and attributes Professional knowledge and understanding Teachers and trainers are ‘dual professionals’; they are both subject and/or vocational specialists and experts in teaching and learning. They are committed to maintaining and developing their expertise in both aspects of their role to ensure the best outcomes for their learners. These expectations of teachers and trainers underpin the 2014 professional standards, with their overall purpose being to support teachers and trainers to maintain and improve standards of teaching and learning, and outcomes for learners. The professional standards are set across three sections each of equal importance: each links to and supports the other sections. The 2014 professional standards: • set out clear expectations of effective practice in Education and Training; • enable teachers and trainers to identify areas for their own professional development; ...

...Effectiveness of Technology on Math Facts Fluency Name: Institution: Course: Tutor: Date: A. RESEARCH TOPIC The majority individuals would have the same opinion that a key objective of education must involve the expansion of learners’ comprehension of fundamental mathematical theories along with procedures. Every student, comprising learners with impairments and students vulnerable to failure, require gaining the know-how and capabilities that may allow them into “understanding” math-associated questions which they come across everyday at domicile as well as in upcoming work incidences. Unluckily, substantial evidence exists to designate that such goal isn’t being achieved, particularly for kids manifesting learning problems. Because the initial dispiriting outcomes of arithmetic accomplishment discovered with State Evaluation of Schooling Progress (SESP) during 1974, insufficient evidence exists to indicate that arithmetic accomplishment has increased considerably, particularly for learners with impairments (Spinelli, 2012). The intention for this research is to identify technology effectiveness towards fundamental arithmetic fluency. As a component of the classroom educational involvement, the research was carried out with ten learners with fair to stern cognitive impairments registered into a school of special training. This five-week research employed a solitary-case turnaround plan (ABAB). Data...

...Maryland In press Keywords: discipline, domain, learning, history, knowledge, mathematics, reading, science, writing. Abstract The roots of current disciplines and domains of study reach well back in history. An exploration of their development shows that these areas of knowledge have not only reflected cultural changes but have also influenced societies, especially through formal educational systems. Besides being characterized by their focus on a particular part of the world, disciplines are also distinguished by a specific way of thinking about their respective domains of study. Psychological research has identified several features of these pathways to knowledge (e.g., reading, writing, history, mathematics, and science) that generally define the landscape of academic practice. Although educational psychologists’ interest in how knowledge develops within specific domains has fluctuated across time, formal education throughout the world is organized around particular fields of studies and students soon come to characterize their experience of school in terms of subject matters. Thus, in education, domains seem to make a difference. The term knowledge domain refers to the part of the world investigated by a specific discipline. In other words, the domain can be characterized as the object (e.g., plants, numbers, or the past) of a specific body of knowledge (e.g., botany, mathematics, or history). Herein, we offer a survey of the development of increasingly specialized...

...secondary school students, Malaysia is not only trailing behind the high income East Asian countries but also low income countries such as Vietnam. Another similar study which is the Trends in Inter-national Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) also showed that Malaysia’s result is below the international average and underperforming since 2007. Identifying the root causes is imperative in order to bring the standard of Malaysia’s education system back to the benchmark and towards achieving a high performing education system. Students’ mindset plays a significant role in learning as it influences their learning styles, motivation and performance. The mindset of Malaysian high school students is a prevalent issue and has impeded their learning in many ways. Being part of the Asian countries, it is inevitable that Malaysian students’ mindset will be shaped by Asian cultures which incline to spoon-feeding, passive and rote learning. The current mindset about learning, teaching, and education is dominated by a view in which teaching is often fitted “into a mold in which a single, presumably omniscient teacher explicitly tells or shows presumably unknowing learners something they presumably know nothing about” (Bruner, 1996). This reflects the teacher-centred learning in which teaching is a one-way process and students are receiving the information without thinking. As a result of that, students...
