Dyscalculia:from Science to Education

In this volume, the editors identify the trajecto­ries and pat­terns displayed by education systems and investigate the causes of change from a global and historical perspective. The contributors argue that the emergence and de­velopment of educa­tion systems can be traced back to inherent national factors, as well as to the interna­tional diffusion of ideas.

Self-study research is making an impact on the field of science education. University researchers employ these methods to improve their instruction, develop as instructors, and ultimately, impact their students’ learning.

A harrowing history of a grim chapter in politics and science, in which groups of influential thinkers shaped global policy with the aim of determining who had the right to have children—and who was worthy of life.

The science of education is elusive. Educators, academics and scientists have struggled with issues like how to make learning approachable yet challenging, what to include in the curriculum and when, what the optimal class size is and so on. In this collection, we explore the many ways that learning is also a scientific process and offer the latest theories of teaching and learning.

Much of what our students are learning about science in school bears little resemblance to real science. That is the main theme of this critique of science education by a veteran scientist and former school teacher. The author charges that today's teaching mandate has been taken over by educational specialists, people with little or no understanding of science.

This book is about the most significant developments in the field of microlearning in the teaching of programming languages. In particular, the book covers the creation of content and the use of microlearning activities for automatically evaluating programming assignmentssee. These critical component of microlearning represent a significant contribution both in fulfilling individual project objectives and in improving computer programming education in general.
