This is a study of teachers' modelling of civic virtues in the classroom. It focusses on three virtues of good citizenship: justice, tolerance and solidarity. The aim is to explore the extent to which teachers can be regarded as models of these virtues. Questionnaires were developed for both...
Although considerable research has been conducted on mathematical modelling and mathematical creativity separately, relatively few studies have explored th
Counselling students remains a pre-eminence for most tertiary institutions in Ghana to the extent that institutions now have counselling units that extend to the departmental level. This study used the K-prototype machine learning algorithm to cluster students’ behaviour based on 28 relevant attributes...
Two examples of online courses addressed to groups of learners are MEDEA (Briana, Midoro and Trentin 1997) and EuMedea (Midoro et al. 1998), which deal with a methodological approach to environmental education in the classroom. The MEDEA groups, based in different Italian cities, are composed...
reasonably, we introduce the use of microphone equipment into the course. Home is a space for private life. Students have a lot of freedom in learning online courses and creating work at home. Therefore, the acquisition of knowledge types and the construction of meanings of behaviour are more ...
Even though the Covid-19 pandemic seems to be stagnating or decreasing across the world, a resurgence of the disease or the occurrence of other epidemics caused by the aerial dissemination of pathogenic biological agents cannot be ruled out. These agents, in particular the virions of the Covid...
If people touch the contaminated objects and then touch their eyes, nose or mouth, COVID-19 may also be transmitted2,3. Reducing the frequency of physical contact, maintaining good hygiene and good ventilation, and pursuing effective test-trace-isolate (TTI) strategies are important non-...
Nielsen Dunbar1* , F. Hofmann1 , S. Meyer2† and L. Held1*† Abstract The goal of this work was to quantify the effect of school closure during the first year of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in ...
but also teaching mathematical modelling in the classroom is cognitively demanding (Burkhardt, 2004; Freudenthal, 1973; Pollak, 1968). Thus, teachers need different skills, mathematical and non-mathematical knowledge, ideas for tasks and for teaching, and appropriate attitudes and beliefs to teach mode...
in everyday mathematics teaching practice in most countries, there is still relatively few modelling. Applications in the classroom still occur mostly in the context of dressed-up word problems. We have been deploring thisgapbetween the educational debate and classroom practice for decades. Why do ...
