Elementary Education in English Periodicals, 1833-1880: Educational Turning Points

by Edwin Patrick Powell

The nature and purpose of elementary education featured prominently in English periodicals throughout the nineteenth century. This book’s central argument is that the periodical press provided a unique cultural space for literary and intellectual contributions to sustained debates about education. Furthermore, political, economic, social, religious, literary, and cultural developments converged with pivotal educational turning points featured in periodicals that affirmed the creative force of education. However, relatively little scholarly attention has been given to periodicals as a medium for exploring the tension between competing educational ideas and practices in Victorian England. This book therefore reassesses elementary education through the new literary perspectives of periodical culture.

Elementary Literacy Lessons: Cases and Commentaries From the Field

by Janet C. Richards Joan P. Gipe

Innovative and practical, this text helps prepare teachers to support the literacy learning needs of all children in grades K-6, including academically, linguistically, and culturally diverse students. It features original teaching cases written by preservice teachers enrolled in field-based reading/language arts methods courses, accompanied by commentaries written by experienced teacher educators and skilled classroom teachers. High-interest content and a reader-friendly format encourage critical and reflective thinking about topics important to effective literacy instruction. By promoting reflection about case issues, the text helps prepare future teachers to respond to teaching narratives presented on the practical applications section of the PRAXIS II, an examination required in most states for teacher licensure. The authentic cases candidly and poignantly describe preservice teachers' plans, problems, hopes, disappointments, dilemmas, and reflective thinking as they address the multilayered complexities and ambiguities associated with learning to teach reading and language arts in elementary classrooms. These teaching stories reveal glimpses of literacy instruction and allow us to enter real classrooms and experience the wide varieties of situations that reading/language arts teachers encounter daily. Although the cases are grouped according to specific dimensions of literacy theory and pedagogy, just as in real classrooms, other issues are woven through each case as well. The commentaries provide scholarly, and sometimes contrasting, perspectives and approaches through which readers might consider the issues presented in the cases. The commentaries represent only particular perspectives, but readers are encouraged to explore and consider as many perspectives and issues as possible regarding each case. Each chapter includes helpfulpedagogical features: * New or critical concepts and terms listed at the beginning of each chapter alert readers to what might be unfamiliar vocabulary. * Applications and Reflections pages help readers take an active part in analyzing, documenting, and talking about the particular issues portrayed in the case narratives. Using the questions on these pages, the cases and accompanying commentaries can be read and discussed as a whole class activity, in small collaborative groups, or by individuals. The questions can also be used by readers to guide their own case writing initiatives. * Margin References direct readers to correlated readings for the strategies and parallel concepts mentioned in the cases and commentaries. Suggested readings can be discussed within the format of literacy study groups. * Annotated Bibliographies at the end of each chapter help readers construct more in-depth knowledge for the instructional strategies and activities discussed in the teaching cases. The cases, commentaries, and pedagogical features in this distinctive text provide rich opportunities for readers to discover what they need to know and how they need to think in order to teach reading and language arts effectively and successfully.

Elementary Mathematics Curriculum Materials: Designs for Student Learning and Teacher Enactment (Research in Mathematics Education)

by Janine T. Remillard Ok-Kyeong Kim

The book presents comparative analyses of five elementary mathematics curriculum programs used in the U.S. from three different perspectives: the mathematical emphasis, the pedagogical approaches, and how authors communicate with teachers. These perspectives comprise a framework for examining what curriculum materials are comprised of, what is involved in reading and interpreting them, and how curriculum authors can and do support teachers in this process. Although the focus of the analysis is 5 programs used at a particular point in time, this framework extends beyond these specific programs and illuminates the complexity of curriculum materials and their role in teaching in general. Our analysis of the mathematical emphasis considers how the mathematics content is presented in each program, in terms of sequencing, the nature of mathematical tasks (cognitive demand and ongoing practice), and the way representations are used. Our analysis of the pedagogical approach examines explicit and implicit messages about how students should interact with mathematics, one another, the teacher, and the textbook around these mathematical ideas, as well as the role of the teacher. In order to examine how curriculum authors support teachers, we analyze how they communicate with teachers and what they communicate about, including the underlying mathematics, noticing student thinking, and rationale for design elements. The volume includes a chapter on curriculum design decisions based on interviews with curriculum authors.

Elementary Turkish (Dover Language Guides)

by Lewis Thomas

Turkish is the primary language of some thirty million people. Anyone concerned with current social, political, and cultural developments in Turkey knows that a practical understanding of the basic patterns of modern Turkish is an invaluable skill that until now has been difficult to attain without extensive training.This superb grammar and exercise text, used successfully for years in Princeton University, enables English-speaking students — in and out of the classroom — to gain a quick and thorough understanding of modern Turkish. In a carefully arranged sequence of 23 lessons, Lewis V. Thomas, late Professor of Oriental Studies at Princeton, presents thorough coverage that allows the student to begin to use the basic patterns of modern Turkish without time-consuming and expensive private instruction.The method of instruction was devised after an extensive analysis of results in Princeton classrooms, and relies on exercises at the end of each lesson to test the student's grasp of the material. Beginning with the alphabet and numbers, Professor Thomas offers clear, concise coverage of articles, adjectives and nouns, common infinitives, personal pronouns, and elementary verbs. As the student's comprehension of basic elements develops, further lessons deal with more complicated subjects such as the possessive construction, past general verbs, postpositions, the partitive, progressive verb forms, and abbreviating verb forms. A complete Turkish-English glossary translates new vocabulary occurring in the exercises.Norman Itzkowitz, Professor of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University, has skillfully made the necessary revisions and additions to complete Professor Thomas' work. For anyone who needs to communicate in this important and influential language, Professor Thomas' proven course, now in an inexpensive paperback edition, is the most effective method available.

Elementary and Middle School Mathematics: Teaching Developmentally

by John A. Van de Walle Karen S. Karp Jennifer M. Bay Williams

"It is fun to figure out the puzzle of how children go about making sense of mathematics and then how to help teachers help kids. " John A. Van de Walle, Late of Virginia Commonwealth University This is the philosophy behindElementary and Middle School Mathematics: Teaching Developmentally. John A. Van de Walle wrote this book to help students understand mathematics and become confident in their ability to teach the subject to children in kindergarten through eighth grade. Although he could not have foreseen the changes in mathematics teaching over the last three decades, he was at the forefront of the movement towards a constructivist view of teaching, or teaching developmentally. Constructivism says that children construct their own knowledge. They are not blank slates waiting to absorb whatever the teacher tells them. Teachers must understand both mathematics itself and how students learn mathematics in order to teach it effectively. Learning through problem solving is another major theme of this book. Students solve problems not just to apply mathematics, but also to learn new mathematics. Effective problems will take into account where students are, the problematic or engaging aspect of the problem must be due to the mathematics that the students are to learn and not be diluted by non-mathematical activities such as cutting or pasting, and the problem must require justifications and explanations for answers and methods. Learning then becomes an outcome of the problem solving process. The book also addresses in more detail than any other book on the market the effect that the trends of standards-based education, increased pressure to test, and increased teacher accountability have had on teaching mathematics. He addresses the 2000 NCTM Standards in depth, in Chapter 1 on Teaching Mathematics in the Era of the NCTM Standards, through the NCTM icon that appears in the margins throughout the text, and in two appendices in the back of the book. Chapter 5 on Building Assessment into Instruction has also been heavily revised to focus on increased testing pressure, creating more explicit links between objectives and assessment, and including assessments for students with special needs. Elementary and Middle School Mathematics: Teaching Developmentallyis a book for doing math today-for both students who want to become teachers, and the students they will eventually teach. New To This Edition: NEW! Revises Chapter 5 on assessment--Discusses increased testing pressure and accountability, adds more information on equitable assessments, creates more explicit links between objectives and assessment, and includes assessments for students with special needs. NEW! Updates theLiterature Connectionsfeature to remove all out of print children's literature and include more non-fiction, poetry, and other types of readings. NEW! Weaves theFocal Pointsthroughout the chapters as well as links them with theBig Ideasfeature-Focal Pointshave also been added to the Appendix. NEW! Includes expanded coverage of working with diverse learners. NEW! Gives greater emphasis on dealing with math anxiety.

Elemente der Codierungstheorie: Besser sehen, besser hören, besser informieren (Mathematik Primarstufe und Sekundarstufe I + II)

by Gert Kadunz Hermann Kautschitsch

Im täglichen Leben sind wir zunehmend von Codes umgeben, die mathematisch konstruiert werden. Sie sind teils leicht erkennbar (Strichcode, ISBN, IBAN, QR) und teils eher verborgen (GPS, WLAN, CD, DVD). In diesem Buch werden solche Codes vorgestellt. Es wird dargelegt, wie sie aufgebaut sind, wie sie funktionieren und welche Mathematik zu ihrer Entwicklung und Anwendung notwendig ist. Die Lesenden lernen, eigenhändig Codes zu erstellen, Fehler zu erkennen und zu korrigieren:EAN, ISBN und deren Barcodedarstellung sowie die internationale Bankkontonummer IBAN werden erarbeitet.Kleine QR-Codes werden mit den vorgestellten Methoden (Paritätsprüfung, Linearcode, Polynomcode, zyklischer Code und Reed-Solomon Code) anschaulich realisiert.An der Herstellung einer Mini-CD mit einem CIRC-Code über einem kleinen Körper werden wesentliche Konstruktionsprinzipien von neuen Codes aus bestehenden Codes, wie z.B. Kürzen, Erweitern, Spreizen (Interleaving) und gekreuztes Spreizen (Cross-Interleaving) veranschaulicht.Das Verstehen von Mathematik wird durch diese selbstständige Erstellung und Verwendung didaktisch maßgeschneiderter Codes wesentlich gefördert.Ein besonderer Fokus des Buchs liegt auf elementaren Methoden des Rechnens mit ganzen Zahlen und Polynomen. Für diese benötigt man nur den Satz von der Division mit Rest als zentrale Aussage – daher können große Abschnitte bereits mit Lernenden der Sekundarstufe II erarbeitet und die Grundlagen wesentlicher Teile der Codierungstheorie von den Lernenden mathematisch korrekt erfasst werden. Für Ausführungen, zu deren Verständnis Kenntnisse notwendig sind, die über die Mathematik der Sekundarstufe II hinausgehen, liegt ein ausführlicher Anhang vor (Vektorräume, Matrizen, Rechnen in endlichen Körpern).
