Scheiner, Thorsten – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2016
This paper comments on the theoretical formulations and usage of the construct of teacher noticing in a selection of the papers in this special issue of "ZDM Mathematics Education." The analysis of how the notion of teacher noticing is used in the papers suggests that it draws attention to several interdependencies involved that have not…

Halfond, Jay A. – New England Journal of Higher Education, 2010
The author notes that the sciences are now something one must latch onto early and successfully as a teenager, and endure against all odds. This pivotal point requires maturity and even myopia--delayed gratification and voluntary dorkiness--traits not common in the young. As a nation, Americans are losing their hegemony in the sciences. In just…

Eccles, Jacquelynne – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2011
I summarize a theoretical model of the social, cultural, and psychological influences on achievement-related choices and outline how this model can help us understand gendered educational and occupational choices. I argue that both gender differences and individual differences within each gender in educational and occupational choices are linked…

Mead, Lawrence M. – Academic Questions, 2011
The claim that faculty conduct research is one of the main justifications for the modern university. Supposedly, academe carries out important, cutting-edge inquiries in which society has an interest. In fact, states this author, research at American universities is becoming narrow and artificial, out of touch with social realities, and of…

de Berg, Kevin C. – Science and Education, 1992
Discusses the use of a historical profile for illustrating the significance of the mathematical components of scientific laws. Addresses the need for the purposive use of scientific laws rather than the blind substitutionary procedures characteristic of most problem solvers. Claims the approach has the potential for increasing female participation…

Oberdan, Thomas – Bulletin of Science, Technology & Society, 2009
The article "Is Google Making Us Stupid?" in last Summer's "Atlantic Monthly," raised a number of provocative, and indeed worrisome, questions about computer usage and cognitive development. For instance, persons with considerable experience of reading for the sake of pleasure report that, after a couple of years using computers a great deal, they…

Gorini, Catherine A. – Humanistic Mathematics Network Journal, 2001
Satisfactory reasons have not been found as to why mathematics is so effective in the sciences. Maharishi's Vedic Science explains the link between the subjective realm where mathematics is located and the objective world that science examines, and resolves this problem in a natural way.
