A non reductionist logicism with explicit definitions

This paper introduces and examines the logicist construction of Peano Arithmetic that can be performed into Leśniewski’s logical calculus of names called Ontology. Against neo-Fregeans, it is argued that a logicist program cannot be based on implicit definitions of the mathematical concepts. Using only explicit definitions, the construction to be presented here constitutes a real reduction of arithmetic to Leśniewski’s logic with the addition of an axiom of infinity. I argue however that such a program is not reductionist, for it only provides what I will call a picture of arithmetic, that is to say a specific interpretation of arithmetic in which purely logical entities play the role of natural numbers. The reduction does not show that arithmetic is simply a part of logic. The process is not of ontological significance, for numbers are not shown to be logical entities. This neo-logicist program nevertheless shows the existence of a purely analytical route to the knowledge of arithmetical laws.

Mathematical modelling in mathematics education and instruction

This paper aims at giving a concise survey of the present state-of-the-art of mathematical modelling in mathematics education and instruction. It will consist of four parts. In part 1, some basic concepts relevant to the topic will be clarified and, in particular, mathematical modelling will be defined in a broad, comprehensive sense. Part 2 will review arguments for the inclusion of modelling in mathematics teaching at schools and universities, and identify certain schools of thought within mathematics education. Part 3 will describe the role of modelling in present mathematics curricula and in everyday teaching practice. Some obstacles for mathematical modelling in the classroom will be analysed, as well as the opportunities and risks of computer usage. In part 4, selected materials and resources for teaching mathematical modelling, developed in the last few years in America, Australia and Europe, will be presented. The examples will demonstrate many promising directions of development.

Analysis of applications and of conceptions for an application-oriented mathematics instruction

In connection with the (revived) demand for considering applications in the teaching of mathematics, various schemata or lists of criteria have been developed since the end of the sixties, which set up requirements about closeness to the real world or about the type of mathematics being used, and which have made it possible to analyze the available applications in their light. After having stated the problem (in section 1), we present (in section 2) a sketch of some of the best known of these and of some earlier schemata, although we are not aiming for a complete picture. Then (in section 3) we distinguish among different dimensions.in the analysis of applications. With this as a basis, we develop (in section 4) our own suggestion for categorizing types of applications and conceptions for an application-oriented mathematics instruction. Then (in section 5) we illustrate our schemata by some examples of performed evaluations. Finally (in section 6), we present some preliminary first results of the analysis of teaching conceptions.

CD-Systems of Restarting Automata Governed by Explicit Enable and Disable Conditions

We introduce a new mode of operation for CD-systems of restarting automata by providing explicit enable and disable conditions in the form of regular constraints. We show that, for each CD-system M of restarting automata and each mode m of operation considered by Messerschmidt and Otto, there exists a CD-system M' of restarting automata of the same type as M that, working in the new mode ed, accepts the language that M accepts in mode m. Further, we prove that in mode ed, a locally deterministic CD-system of restarting automata of type RR(W)(W) can be simulated by a locally deterministic CD-system of restarting automata of the more restricted type R(W)(W). This is the first time that a non-monotone type of R-automaton without auxiliary symbols is shown to be as expressive as the corresponding type of RR-automaton.

MIndful educaton for ADHD students : differentiating curriculum and instruction using multiple intelligences.

Esta guía describe métodos de trabajo, con alumnos diagnosticados con déficit de atención e hiperactividad, con la teoría de las inteligencias múltiples. Esta teoría permite a los educadores ver los puntos fuertes de los niños y aprovechar los perfiles de su inteligencia para ayudarlos a aprender. Con el apoyo de ejemplos de la vida real, presenta estrategias para ayudar a estos alumnos, de manera que la labor docente respete las habilidades y competencias de cada uno y permita su inclusión en el aula de educación general.

Strategies for teaching students with special needs : methods and techniques for classroom instruction.

El objetivo de este manual es que orientar a los maestros de primaria en centros de integración que tienen en su clase niños con necesidades especiales. Las estrategias presentadas intencionadamente borran la distinción entre y dentro de las categorías de niños con necesidades especiales y hacen hincapié en el acto de aprender de todos los niños. Tanto las estrategias como las prácticas educativas son reales, con énfasis sobre las orientaciones de lo que se debe hacer para satisfacer las necesidades de veinticinco estudiantes muy distintos. La atención se centra en la evaluación de lectura y métodos de lectura, el lenguaje, las matemáticas y las ideas de los aspectos sociales de integración.
