Modern School Geography and Inquiry Education

Dagmar Popjaková, Petra Karvánková (2019)

Annales Universitatis Paedagogicae Cracoviensis Studia Geographica

Similarity:

School geography is a subject which has more possibilities to modernize the teaching than other subjects. It is thanks to the interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary character of the geography science in general. Modern geography could benefit mainly from the cross-curricular links. At the same time it applies modern, but concurrently established and verified concepts as for example inquiry-based education, philosophy for children, global development education or the use of mobile applications...

The role of a geography textbook in developing key competences – a comparative study

Mariola Tracz, Jolanta Rodzoś (2015)

Annales Universitatis Paedagogicae Cracoviensis Studia Geographica

Similarity:

A textbook plays an important role in modernization of the teaching process and in the achievement of set teaching objectives. From a didactic perspective, very important is the structure of contents that activates a school student via e.g. a set of didactic tasks. It seems important in the context of developing self-study and long-life learning skills of school students. Self-study becomes a necessity in the modern society due to technological advancement and constantly growing requirements...

Dydaktyka geografii – teoria i metodologia (na przykładzie Bułgarii)

Maya Vasileva, Kliment Naydenov, Georgi Kotseff (2019)

Annales Universitatis Paedagogicae Cracoviensis Studia Geographica

Similarity:

Understanding, mastering and applying new ideas in geography didactics is the most proper way to achieve a high professionalism in geography education in Bulgaria. Such professionalism implies three prerequisites: a scientifically based (and not only intuitive) professional activity, high and sustainable results and a clear positive attitude towards it. The high professionalism is the required basis for successful solving the current problems of Bulgarian geography education which are...

From Euclid's Elements to the methodology of mathematics. Two ways of viewing mathematical theory

Piotr Błaszczyk (2018)

Annales Universitatis Paedagogicae Cracoviensis | Studia ad Didacticam Mathematicae Pertinentia

Similarity:

We present two sets of lessons on the history of mathematics designed for prospective teachers: (1) Euclid's Theory of Area, and (2) Euclid's Theory of Similar Figures. They aim to encourage students to think of mathematics by way of analysis of historical texts. Their historical content includes Euclid's Elements, Books I, II, and VI. The mathematical meaning of the discussed propositions is simple enough that we can focus on specific methodological questions, such as (a) what makes...

Algorithmisation as mathematical activity and skills in connection with mathematical modelling

Anna Pyzara (2018)

Annales Universitatis Paedagogicae Cracoviensis | Studia ad Didacticam Mathematicae Pertinentia

Similarity:

Good preparation of students to the profession of teacher is very important. In my research I focus on improving the quality of teacher's preparation at the university level, and through it at school level in the future. I present the proposal of teaching mathematics with the use of algorithmisation. It is possible, because solutions to many mathematical problems can be expressed in the form of an algorithm. The process of algorithmisation of mathematical issues is associated with various...

A case study on the semiotic signs during a lecture of Cartesian plane

Sahin Danisman, Dilek Tanışlı (2018)

Annales Universitatis Paedagogicae Cracoviensis | Studia ad Didacticam Mathematicae Pertinentia

Similarity:

The use of signs in the teaching of mathematics plays a crucial role in students’ cognition. Trying to understand what signs both students and teachers use in the mathematics classes may help us understand their meaning making processes. From this point of view, this paper aims to reveal the use of semiotic resources both by students and a teacher while lecturing Cartesian plane in seventh grade level. The study group of this qualitative study consisted of a teacher and her 29 seventh...
