Mathematics Assessment and Evaluation


Book Description

Are current testing practices consistent with the goals of the reform movement in school mathematics? If not, what are the alternatives? How can authentic performance in mathematics be assessed? These and similar questions about tests and their uses have forced those advocating change to examine the way in which mathematical performance data is gathered and used in American schools. This book provides recent views on the issues surrounding mathematics tests, such as the need for valid performance data, the implications of the Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics for test development, the identification of valid items and tests in terms of the Standards, the procedures now being used to construct a sample of state assessment tests, gender differences in test taking, and methods of reporting student achievement.

Six Septembers: Mathematics for the Humanist


Book Description

Scholars of all stripes are turning their attention to materials that represent enormous opportunities for the future of humanistic inquiry. The purpose of this book is to impart the concepts that underlie the mathematics they are likely to encounter and to unfold the notation in a way that removes that particular barrier completely. This book is a primer for developing the skills to enable humanist scholars to address complicated technical material with confidence. This book, to put it plainly, is concerned with the things that the author of a technical article knows, but isn't saying. Like any field, mathematics operates under a regime of shared assumptions, and it is our purpose to elucidate some of those assumptions for the newcomer. The individual subjects we tackle are (in order): logic and proof, discrete mathematics, abstract algebra, probability and statistics, calculus, and differential equations.

The Scientific Education of Girls


Book Description

"There are still comparatively few women pursuing scientific careers, or more generally playing significant roles in scientific and technological culture, in an age when science and technology are essential to national development worldwide. This book is aimed at drawing educators' and teacher trainers' attention to elements of discrimination in the teaching of mathematics and sciences. It focuses particularly on the daily practice of teaching, where ambiguities and discrimination are rarely perceived and seldom analysed by those involved." "Originating in UNESCO's project entitled 'Women, Science and Technology', intended to promote women's participation in the sciences, the work in this volume has been compiled by an international team of researchers, education specialists and authors. The book is of immediate interest to education professionals, but is also important for researchers and all those concerned with equality in education. In raising questions about the nature of education, it also hopes to provide answers that will help to change perceptions and thus behaviour."--Jacket.
