El aprendizaje de la matemática es una necesidad sentida y percibida por las poblaciones indígenas, como se advierte en los testimonios que recogen los autores de esta obra. Esto se debe a que la ciencia y la tecnología son el núcleo y el motor de la actual sociedad del conocimiento. Aprender matemática es, ante todo, adquirir poder para defenderse de la exclusión y autoafirmarse. ¿Cómo podemos adoptar decisiones inteligentes en nuestra vida diaria o influir en la política nacional e internacional sin una adecuada educación científico-tecnológica? De lo que se trata, en definitiva, es de responder a las preguntas: ¿es posible que los amerindios se apropien de la matemática e incluso contribuyan a su desarrollo sin renunciar a sus culturas específicas? y ¿es posible ser a la vez matemático y amerindio auténticos sin tener que adoptar, necesariamente, la cultura denominada del “progreso universal”?. Éste es el tema desarrollado en el presente libro, fruto de una iniciativa surgida hace varios años con el fin de efectuar un balance de la situación educativa de los pueblos indígenas, elaborar nuevos enfoques conceptuales y diseñar respuestas pedagógicas adecuadas a sus necesidades y expectativas. Para lograrlo se ha implicado a los propios sujetos de los programas educativos desarrollados en las áreas indígenas y zonas populares de América Latina, contando con la participación de investigadores y especialistas en la materia. En la obra, coordinada por Alfonso E. LIZARZABURU y Gustavo ZAPATA SOTO, han colaborado los siguientes autores: Ubiratan D’AMBROSIO, André CAUTY, Kleber GESTEIRA E MATOS, Gustavo GOTTRET, Terezinha NUNES, Adán PARI RODRÍGUEZ, Ruperto R. ROMERO, Joachim SCHROEDER, Isabel SOTO CORNEJO y Martha VILLAVICENCIO UBILLÚS.

This volume documents on-going research and theorising 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 the life world of people whether these range from the everyday individual numeracy level to sophisticated new problems for society at large. Mathematical modelling and real world applications are considered as having potential for multi-disciplinary work that involves knowledge from a variety of communities of practice such as those in different workplaces (e.g., those of educators, designers, construction engineers, museum curators) and in different fields of academic endeavour (e.g., history, archaeology, mathematics, economics). From an educational perspective, researching the development of competency in real world modelling involves research situated in crossing the boundaries between being a student engaged in modelling or mathematical application to real word tasks in the classroom, being a teacher of mathematical modelling (in or outside the classroom or bridging both), and being a modeller of the world outside the classroom. This is the focus of many of the authors of the chapters in this book. All authors of this volume are members of the International Community of Teachers of Mathematical Modelling (ICTMA), the peak research body into researching the teaching and learning of mathematical modelling at all levels of education from the early years to tertiary education as well as in the workplace.

This book contains suggestions for and reflections on the teaching, learning and assessing of mathematical modelling and applications in a rapidly changing world, including teaching and learning environments. It addresses all levels of education from universities and technical colleges to secondary and primary schools. Sponsored by the International Community of Teachers of Mathematical Modelling and Applications (ICTMA), it reflects recent ideas and methods contributed by specialists from 30 countries in Africa, the Americas, Asia, Australia and Europe. Inspired by contributions to the Fourteenth Conference on the Teaching of Mathematical Modelling and Applications (ICTMA14) in Hamburg, 2009, the book describes the latest trends in the teaching and learning of mathematical modelling at school and university including teacher education. The broad and versatile range of topics will stress the international state-of-the-art on the following issues: Theoretical reflections on the teaching and learning of modelling Modelling competencies Cognitive perspectives on modelling Modelling examples for all educational levels Practice of modelling in school and at university level Practices in Engineering and Applications

ISBN: 3030821595

Based on twenty case studies of universities worldwide, and on a survey administered to leaders in 101 universities, this open access book shows that, amidst the significant challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, universities found ways to engage with schools to support them in sustaining educational opportunity. In doing so, they generated considerable innovation, which reinforced the integration of the research and outreach functions of the university. The evidence suggests that universities are indeed open systems, in interaction with their environment, able to discover changes that can influence them and to change in response to those changes. They are also able, in the success of their efforts to mitigate the educational impact of the pandemic, to create better futures, as the result of the innovations they can generate. This challenges the view of universities as "ivory towers" being isolated from the surrounding environment and detached from local problems. As they reached out to schools, universities not only generated clear and valuable innovations to sustain educational opportunity and to improve it, this process also contributed to transform internal university processes in ways that enhanced their own ability to deliver on the third mission of outreach

In this volume cultural, social and cognitive influences on the research and teaching of mathematical modelling are explored from a variety of theoretical and practical perspectives. The authors of the current volume are all members of the International Community of Teachers of Mathematical Modelling and Applications, the peak research body in this field. A distinctive feature of this volume is the high number of authors from South American countries. These authors bring quite a different perspective to modelling than has been showcased in previous books in this series, in particular from a cultural point of view. As well as recent international research, there is a strong emphasis on pedagogical issues including those associated with technology and assessment, in the teaching and learning of modelling. Applications at various levels of education are exemplified. The contributions reflect common issues shared globally and represent emergent or on-going challenges.
