Basic components in the scienctific didactical training of the secondary school mathematics teachers

Secondary mathematics teacher training in Spain is currently the subject of a heated revision debate. The speed of social, cultural, scientific and economic changes have left a hundred years old teacher training model well behind. However, academical inertia and professional interests are impeding a real new training of the mathematics teacher as an autonomous mathematical educator. Teachers of Didactic of Mathematics and the Spanish Associations of mathematics teachers have recently been discussing the issue. Their conclusions are included here.

Los sucesos aleatorios: tendencias en los libros de texto

En este trabajo se presentan los resultados correspondientes al análisis de contenido sobre la noción de suceso que se refleja en las unidades dedicadas al “Tratamiento del Azar” en una muestra de libros de texto de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria. Dicho análisis se refiere a cómo es caracterizada teóricamente la idea de suceso, qué actividades se proponen y cómo se organizan e introducen ambos elementos. Se establecen dos tendencias diferenciadas al introducir la noción de suceso, tradicional e innovadora tecnológica.

Sobre la equivalencia entre sucesiones con límite finito y sucesiones de Cauchy

Estudiamos, desde perspectivas simbólica y fenomenológica, diferencias y analogías existentes entre dos definiciones: la de límite finito de una sucesión y la de sucesión de Cauchy. Las diferencias entre una y otra definición parecen acentuarse en el aspecto fenomenológico, ya que observamos fenómenos distintos en cada una de ellas.

Propuesta didáctica para la enseñanza de la probabilidad marginal y conjunta en grado undécimo

El informe que se presenta es el resultado de nuestro trabajo de investigación para optar el título de Licenciadas en educación básica con énfasis en matemáticas. Se diseñó e implementó una secuencia de actividades sobre la enseñanza de la noción de Probabilidad marginal y conjunta a 72 estudiantes de Grado Undécimo del Instituto Técnico Industrial Francisco José de Caldas, teniendo como referente la resolución de problemas y la teoría de las situaciones didácticas propuestas por Brousseau.

Matemáticas y deportes. Sugerencias para el aula

El deporte es un fenómeno social que atrae la atención del alumnado. Sus reglas, estrategias, movimientos, resultados y clasificaciones contienen muchos elementos matemáticos. En las diversas especialidades deportivas podemos encontrar variadas ocasiones para motivar a los estudiantes con situaciones que las matemáticas ayudan a comprender mejor. En este artículo se ofrecen 28 actividades y ejemplos en esa línea, desde 6.º de Primaria a 2.º de Bachillerato.

La importancia de la primera representación en problemas contextualizados

El estudio de la primera representación adquiere un papel determinante en la actividad de la resolución de problemas, ya que se presenta entre la percepción del problema y el proceso de resolución. El presente trabajo, plantea la posibilidad de desarrollar la formulación de problemas para enriquecer el contenido de la primera representación, permitiendo explorar nuevas representaciones para identificar la organización de sus relaciones y establecer su articulación en problemas contextualizados.

Exploitation of symbolic information in interprocedural dependence analysis

The requirement for a very accurate dependence analysis to underpin software tools to aid the generation of efficient parallel implementations of scalar code is argued. The current status of dependence analysis is shown to be inadequate for the generation of efficient parallel code, causing too many conservative assumptions to be made. This paper summarises the limitations of conventional dependence analysis techniques, and then describes a series of extensions which enable the production of a much more accurate dependence graph. The extensions include analysis of symbolic variables, the development of a symbolic inequality disproof algorithm and its exploitation in a symbolic Banerjee inequality test; the use of inference engine proofs; the exploitation of exact dependence and dependence pre-domination attributes; interprocedural array analysis; conditional variable definition tracing; integer array tracing and division calculations. Analysis case studies on typical numerical code is shown to reduce the total dependencies estimated from conventional analysis by up to 50%. The techniques described in this paper have been embedded within a suite of tools, CAPTools, which combines analysis with user knowledge to produce efficient parallel implementations of numerical mesh based codes.

Simulation of ship evacuation and passenger circulation

This paper describes work carried out in the FIRE EXIT research project. FIRE EXIT aims to develop an Evacuation Simulator, capable of addressing issues of mustering, ship motions, fire and abandonment. In achieving these aims, FIRE EXIT took as its starting point the state-of-the-art in ship evacuation simulation (the maritimeEXODUS software), fire simulation (the SMARTFIRE software) and large-scale experimental facilities (the SHEBA facility). It then significantly enhanced these capabilities. A number of new technologies have been developed in achieving these objectives. The innovations include directly linking CFD fire simulation with evacuation and abandonment software and automatic data transfer from concept design software allowing rapid generation of ship simulation models. Software usability was augmented by a module for interpretation of evacuation software output. Enhancements to a ship evacuation testing rig have resulted in a unique facility, capable of providing passenger movement data for realistic evacuation scenarios and large scale tests have provided meaningful data for the evacuation simulation.

The effect of thermal cycle profiles on solder joint damage

The relationship between the damage caused at different thermal cycles is very important. The whole of accelerated thermal cycle testing is based on the premise that damage at one cycle is representative of damage at a different cycle. In this paper, the relative damage caused by six thermal cycle profiles are predicted using Finite Element (FE) modelling and the results validated against experiments. Both creep strain and strain energy density were used as damage indicators and creep strain was found to correlate better with experiment. The validated FE model is then used to investigate the effect of altering each of the thermal profile parameters (ramp and swell times, hot and cold temperatures). The components used for testing are surface mount resistors - 1206, 0805 and 0603. The solders investigated are eutectic SnAgCu and eutectic SnAg.

Evaluation of a suitable learning style for iLearn: a personalised e-learning platform

Brusilovsky and Millan (2007) state that learning styles are typically defined as the way people prefer to learn. Learning styles and how we learn is a vast research area and many research projects (SMILE, INSPIRE, iWeaver amongst others) attempt to incorporate these learning styles into e-Learning systems. This paper describes commonly used learning styles and how they are currently being used within the area of adaptive e-Learning. This work also builds upon current research and evaluates learning styles using criteria proposed by Sampson and Karagiannidis (2004) in order to select a suitable learning methodology for the iLearn e-Learning platform. The Sampson and Karagiannidis (2004) criteria is adapted for the purpose of the research and describes the measurability, time effectiveness and descriptiveness and prescriptiveness of the specific learning style. A suitable learning style for the iLearn e-Learning platform is then proposed within the paper and finally the research briefly introduces how the chosen learning style will be used for the proposed e-Learning platform.
