Conceptions of mathematics and student identity: implications for engineering education

Rumi's epistemology and implications for moral education

From its very beginnings, man has always been a curious and inquisitive creature looking for goals to reach him, but what a destination is, where it is, and who it is has been an important issue that makes people more curious and purposeful. He believes that the structure of human beliefs is shaped by his moral characteristics and that the moral contaminants of human knowledge are distorted. Th...

Bioinformatics Education in High School: Implications for Promoting Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Careers

We investigated the effects of our Bio-ITEST teacher professional development model and bioinformatics curricula on cognitive traits (awareness, engagement, self-efficacy, and relevance) in high school teachers and students that are known to accompany a developing interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers. The program included best practices in adult education...

The Implications of Embodiment for Mathematics and Computing Education

This symposium is a venue for discussing the implications of embodied cognition research for mathematics and computing education. Our goal is to bring five themes together that we think are complementary in understanding what embodiment holds for math and computing education: (1) Empirical studies: Behavioral, neuroscience, and neuropsychological work on sensorimotor groundings of higher-cognit...

Mathematics Education and Special Education: Searching for Common Ground and the Implications for Teacher Education

This article examines research literature that overlaps the fields of mathematics and special education, with a particular focus on students with disabilities at the middle and high school levels. We report the results of this literature by describing some of the inconsistencies or contradictions between the fields as well as the commonalities that exist in the research and recommendations.
