Teaching of a specific subject

Change is an ongoing aspect of education and educators are always seeking alternative and effective approaches to it.

The present book, Cases of Assessment in Mathematics Education, is one of two studies resulting from an ICMI Study Conference on Assessment in Mathematics Education and Its Effects.

This book is one of the first to attempt a systematic in-depth analysis of assessment in mathematics education in most of its important aspects: it deals with assessment in mathematics education from historical, psychological, sociological, epistmological, ideological, and political perspectives.

This volume presents a "e;photograph"e; of the state of the art in Science Education Research in Europe as it has emerged from the first ESERA Conference held in Rome in September 1997.

The author of this book is affiliated with the Center for Development and Socialization of the Max Planck Institute for Human Development and Ed- ucation in Berlin and heads its program on culture and cognition which de- votes its labors to the reconstruction of scientific concepts through history in a perspective of what might be called "e;historical epistemology.

This book presents comprehensive results from case studies of three innovations in mathematics education that have much to offer toward understanding current reforms in this field.

The purpose of the present text is to distil the experience of a number of workers active in the field of biochemical education, so providing readable accounts which, it is hoped, will be of significant benefit to those who are new to the teaching profession in addition to those who may be stimulated to experiment with alternative strategies in their own teaching situation.

Global science education is a reality at the end of the 20th century - albeit an uneven reality - because of tremendous technological and economic pressures.

No one disputes how important it is, in today's world, to prepare students to un- derstand mathematics as well as to use and communicate mathematics in their future lives.

The study described in this book arose in the contextof a three-year collective effort to bring about change in science teaching at Mountain Elementary School.

Martin van Hees presents a new approach to the study of law - legal reductionism - which combines elements of legal positivism, new institutionalism and decision theory.

Models and modelling play a central role in the nature of science, in its conduct, in the accreditation and dissemination of its outcomes, as well as forming a bridge to technology.

This is a research-based book on mathematics teacher education.

During the summer of 1990, while taking my holidays to teach a university course of physics for elementary teachers, I also tutored one of the tenth-grade students at my school in physics, chemistry, and mathematics.
