Science Education from People for People
Taylor and Francis 2009; US$ 49.95Contributing to the social justice agenda of redefining what science is and what it means in the everyday lives of people, this book introduces science educators to various dimensions of viewing science and scientific literacy from the standpoint of the learner, engaged with real everyday concerns within or outside school; develops a... more...
Re/Structuring Science Education
Springer 2009; US$ 179.99Since its beginnings, science education has been under the influence of psychological theories of knowing and learning, while in more recent years, social constructivist and sociological frameworks have also begun to emerge.

Language, Learning, Context

Geometry as Objective Science in Elementary School Classrooms
Taylor and Francis 2012; US$ 140.00This study examines the origins of geometry in and out of the intuitively given everyday lifeworlds of children in a second-grade mathematics class. These lifeworlds, though pre-geometric, are not without model objects that denote and come to anchor geometric idealities that they will understand at later points in their lives. Roth's analyses explain how... more...

It is a signature contribution to the field." - Clifton F. Conrad, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA ... more...
A Cultural-Historical Perspective on Mathematics Teaching and Learning
Springer 2011; US$ 49.95Scientific & Mathematical Bodies
Springer 2011; US$ 69.95This book is about the sensuous, living body without which individual knowing and learning is impossible. It is the interface between the individual and culture. Recent scholarship has moved from investigated knowing and learning as something in the mind or brain to understanding these phenomena in terms of the body (embodiment literature) or culture... more...

Starting from the position that mathematics is a human construction, implying that it cannot be separated from its historical, cultural, social,... more...
