This book documents ongoing research and theorizing in the sub-field of mathematics education devoted to the teaching and learning of mathematical modelling and applications. Mathematical modelling provides a way of conceiving and resolving problems in people’s everyday lives as well as sophisticated new problems for society at large. Mathematical tradition in China that emphasizes algorithm and computation has now seen a renaissance in mathematical modelling and applications where China has made significant progress with its economy, science and technology. In recent decades, teaching and learning of mathematical modelling as well as contests in mathematical modelling have been flourishing at different levels of education in China. Today, teachers and researchers in China become keener to learn from their colleagues from Western countries and other parts of the world in research and teaching of mathematical modelling and applications. The book provides a dialogue and communication between colleagues from across the globe with new impetus and resources for mathematical modelling education and its research in both West and East with new ideas on modelling teaching and practices, inside and outside classrooms. All authors of this book are members of the International Community of Teachers of Mathematical Modelling and Applications (ICTMA), the peak research body into researching the teaching, assessing and learning of mathematical modelling at all levels of education from the early years to tertiary education as well as in the workplace. The book is of interest to researchers, mathematics educators, teacher educators, education administrators, policy writers, curriculum developers, professional developers, in-service teachers and pre-service teachers including those interested in mathematical literacy.

TEDS-M 2008, die IEA-Studie Teacher Education and Development: Learning to Teach Mathematics, ist die erste internationale Vergleichsstudie, die Ergebnisse des tertiären Bildungsbereichs systematisch in den Blick nimmt. Analog zur Erfassung von Schülerleistungen als Monitoring der Leistungsfähigkeit des Schulsystems erfolgt eine Erfassung der Kompetenzen angehender Mathematiklehrkräfte für die Sekundarstufe I am Ende ihrer Ausbildung. Dies ermöglicht einen internationalen Vergleich der Effektivität des deutschen Lehrerausbildungssystems. Gleichzeitig gibt dies Auskunft, wie gut Lehrkräfte auf ihre beruflichen Kernaufgaben Unterrichten und Diagnostizieren vorbereitet sind. Die Ergebnisse zu ihrem fachlichen, fachdidaktischen und pädagogischen Wissen sowie zu ihren Lerngelegenheiten lassen Rückschlüsse auf Stärken und Schwächen der Ausbildung zu und ermöglichen erstmals eine evidenzbasierte Diskussion über mögliche Reformmaßnahmen. Der vorliegende Beitrag dokumentiert den theoretischen Rahmen von TEDS-M 2008, das Untersuchungsdesign und zentrale Ergebnisse. Neben Aussagen zum Niveau und zur Struktur der professionellen Kompetenz angehender deutscher Mathematiklehrkräfte für die Sekundarstufe I werden ihr schulischer und familiärer Hintergrund, ihre Berufsmotivation, ihre Einschätzung der Qualität ihrer Ausbildung sowie ihre Einstellungen zum Lehren und Lernen untersucht. Deutschland hat an TEDS-M 2008, gefördert von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft, mit allen 16 Bundesländern und einer repräsentativen Stichprobe angehender Primarstufenlehrkräfte im letzten Jahr ihrer Ausbildung sowie einer repräsentativen Stichprobe an Lehrerausbildenden in den entsprechenden Ausbildungsgängen der ersten und zweiten Phase teilgenommen.

This text provides a critical overview of current thinking about equity issues in the teaching and learning of mathematics. Grounded in feminist theories of curriculum change and a broad range of cultural perspectives, the new approaches described here go beyond "special programmes" and "experimental treatments" designed to correct perceived problems and deficits. Instead they establish how improved instructional practices and a fuller understanding of the nature of the mathematical enterprise can overcome the systemic obstacles that have thwarted women's participation in this important field.; This book will appeal to all those who are interested in the mathematical education of women, including teachers, parents, administrators and researchers.

The book presents the Proceedings of the 13th International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME-13) and is based on the presentations given at the 13th International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME-13). ICME-13 took place from 24th- 31st July 2016 at the University of Hamburg in Hamburg (Germany). The congress was hosted by the Society of Didactics of Mathematics (Gesellschaft für Didaktik der Mathematik - GDM) and took place under the auspices of the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI). ICME-13 brought together about 3.500 mathematics educators from 105 countries, additionally 250 teachers from German speaking countries met for specific activities. Directly before the congress activities were offered for 450 Early Career Researchers. The proceedings give a comprehensive overview on the current state-of-the-art of the discussions on mathematics education and display the breadth and deepness of current research on mathematical teaching-and-learning processes. The book introduces the major activities of ICME-13, namely articles from the four plenary lecturers and two plenary panels, articles from the five ICMI awardees, reports from six national presentations, three reports from the thematic afternoon devoted to specific features of ICME-13. Furthermore, the proceedings contain descriptions of the 54 Topic Study Groups, which formed the heart of the congress and reports from 29 Discussion Groups and 31 Workshops. The additional important activities of ICME-13, namely papers from the invited lecturers, will be presented in the second volume of the proceedings.

Christopher Alexander is a Vienna-born, British-American architect and theorist and the father of the pattern language movement, popularized in his pivotal 1968 book, A Pattern Language, with Sara Ishikawa and Murray Silverstein, as well as the 1979 follow up, The Timeless Way of Building. Lesser known but as essential to understanding Alexander's work is his theory of "systems generating systems," which explains that systems as a whole are created by a "generating systems," and, "if we wish to make things which function as 'wholes, ' we shall have to invent generating systems to create them." Taking the Eishin Campus outside Tokyo, built between 1983 and 1989, as its example, Shifting Patterns is the first book to examine Alexander's theory of "systems generating systems" and its application to a building design. It brings together essays from an interdisciplinary, international cast of experts, including Eva Guttmann, Gabriele Kaiser, Ernst Beneder, Walter Ruprechter, Hisae Hosoi, Christian Kühn, Ida Pristinger, and Norihito Nakatani, as well as conversations with Hajo Neis and Takaharu Tezuka to investigate the application of this theory to the school and university complex, the largest project Alexander has realized based on pattern language. Among the issues discussed are topicality, interdisciplinary and internationality, and culture transfer. The essays also look at the design-build movement as an antithesis to today's standardized and commerce-driven architectural production.
