Applications and modelling in mathematics teaching

The aim of this paper is a comprehensive presentation of some important basic and general aspects of the topic applications and modelling, with emphasis on the secondary school level. Owing to the review character of this paper, some overlap with the survey paper Blum and Niss (1989) for ICME-6 in Budapest is inevitable. The paper will consist of three parts. In part 1, I shall try to clarify some basic concepts and remind the reader of a few application and modelling examples suitable for teaching. In part 2, I shall formulate some general aims for mathematics instruction and, on that basis, summarise the most important arguments for and against applications and modelling in mathematics teaching. Finally, in part 3, I shall discuss some relevant instructional aspects resulting from the considerations in part 2.

Pursuing a Developmental State Trade Agenda in a Neo-Liberal Context

This book explains why it was possible for the Worker’s Party (PT) in Brazil and the African National Congress (ANC) in South Africa to pursue a developmental state trade policy, in spite of neoliberal constraints. The major theoretical lenses are three-fold. It applies state theory (macrolevel), policy network analysis (meso-level) and theories on political parties with emphasis on factional politics (micro-level). This book highlights the socio-political relevance of comparatively progressive policy frameworks and expands the debate on how to re-gain national policy space for progressive reform policies even under neoliberal constraints.

Mediterr??neo, bosque amigo

Gu??a did??ctica realizada con motivo de la exposici??n del mismo nombre cuyo objetivo es crear conciencia de la inmensa tarea que nos ata??e a todos los ciudadanos, potenciar el respeto por la naturaleza, su desarrollo y conservaci??n y llegar a un compromiso de toda la sociedad para proteger nuestro bosque como patrimonio natural, el m??s rico de Europa. Concebido en cuatro bloques, el primero 'Bosque Mediterr??neo' aborda un conjunto de aspectos sobre su funcionamiento como ecosistema y sobre las caracter??sticas b??sicas que lo definen: estructura, relaciones con el medio, intercambios, etc. 'El Bosque amigo' resalta los aspectos esenciales en la relaci??n bosque-seres humanos y los usos que hemos obtenido de ??l. 'El Bosque en Peligro' es una peque??a muestra de las consecuencias del desarrollo desequilibrado, de la insostenibilidad de nuestro progreso. El ??ltimo ??mbito, 'La Conservaci??n del Bosque', supone la reacci??n contra el progresivo deterioro.

Educaci??n moral

Actas del VI Congresos Interuniversitario de Teor??a de la Educaci??n, dedicado a la educaci??n moral que recoge las ponencias, mesas redondas y comunicaciones, distintas propuestas que abordan la educaci??n moral como tarea inevitable y necesaria. En las actas se recogen las siete ponencias y las cinco colaboraciones de las mesas redondas dedicadas a: poderes p??blicos y moral y educaci??n moral y ciudadan??a.

Moral dial??gica y educaci??n democr??tica

Ponencia presentada en las Terceras Jornadas de Educaci??n y Democracia celebradas en Murcia. El ??mbito en el que se plantea esta reflexi??n es el de la ??tica, en el doble nivel que la constituye: nivel de la fundamentaci??n de los principios morales y el de la aplicaci??n a la vida cotidiana de los principios hallados en la Filosof??a moral. En este cap??tulo se inicia una reflexi??n acerca de la conveniencia de la ense??anza del comportamiento moral y su relaci??n con la necesidad de adquisici??n de destrezas para construir una sociedad democr??tica. La autora define la educaci??n moral como aquella que ayuda a ser personas cr??ticas, capaces de asumir el propio juicio moral. Realiza una caracterizaci??n de lo moral en tres niveles: dimensi??n individual del car??cter, unida a la formaci??n de la autoestima y el autoconcepto, dimensi??n comunitaria en la medida en que el individuo aprende a vivir unos valores en el ??mbito de una comunidad, dimensi??n postconvencional, en la que el individuo es capaz de distinguir las normas comunitarias de los principios universalistas.

Temas transversales : 'educación ambiental, educación para la paz, educación para el consumidor, educación vial, educación para la igualdad de oportunidades entre sexos, educación para la sexualidad, educación moral y cívica y educación en valores'.

Se aborda el estudio de los temas transversales introducidos en la reforma educativa española de 1991 en los currículos de infantil, primaria y secundaria: educación ambiental, para la paz, del consumidor, vial, para la igualdad de oportunidades entre sexos, para la salud, en la sexualidad, cívica y moral y educación en valores, ofreciendo propuestas y orientaciones metodológicas para su didáctica en el aula por parte del profesorado y prestando especial atención al tema de la violencia en las aulas y el acoso escolar. Se pretende educar al alumno en el marco de un sistema de valores adaptado al entorno en el que este desarrolla su actividad educativo-formativa..

Teaching an Old Robot New Tricks: Learning Novel Tasks via Interaction with People and Things

As AI has begun to reach out beyond its symbolic, objectivist roots into the embodied, experientialist realm, many projects are exploring different aspects of creating machines which interact with and respond to the world as humans do. Techniques for visual processing, object recognition, emotional response, gesture production and recognition, etc., are necessary components of a complete humanoid robot. However, most projects invariably concentrate on developing a few of these individual components, neglecting the issue of how all of these pieces would eventually fit together. The focus of the work in this dissertation is on creating a framework into which such specific competencies can be embedded, in a way that they can interact with each other and build layers of new functionality. To be of any practical value, such a framework must satisfy the real-world constraints of functioning in real-time with noisy sensors and actuators. The humanoid robot Cog provides an unapologetically adequate platform from which to take on such a challenge. This work makes three contributions to embodied AI. First, it offers a general-purpose architecture for developing behavior-based systems distributed over networks of PC's. Second, it provides a motor-control system that simulates several biological features which impact the development of motor behavior. Third, it develops a framework for a system which enables a robot to learn new behaviors via interacting with itself and the outside world. A few basic functional modules are built into this framework, enough to demonstrate the robot learning some very simple behaviors taught by a human trainer. A primary motivation for this project is the notion that it is practically impossible to build an "intelligent" machine unless it is designed partly to build itself. This work is a proof-of-concept of such an approach to integrating multiple perceptual and motor systems into a complete learning agent.
