Riassunto

The concept of deep learning, as opposed to surface learning, is being increasingly recognized by teachers and, here, Stephanie Prestage and her colleagues use it in connection with enabling so-far low attaining students to recover their self-esteem and mathematical capabilities. This essential guide for mathematics teachers will help to change the focus from 'doing and finishing' to 'thinking and learning'.

Informazioni sull?autore

Stephanie Prestage taught mathematics in London comprehensive schools for twelve years before joining the University of Birmingham as a lecturer in mathematics education. During her time at Birmingham she has worked on several research projects in mathematics education as well as in the education of new teachers. She has written extensively in the area of developing tasks for use in the classroom and is keen for all pupils to work and think mathematically.

Els De Geest taught mathematics for 7 years in 11-18 schools and has been a Research Officer at the University of Oxford for three projects. She also works as a mathematics consultant at Slough LA, a PGCE tutor for the Open University and an Associate for the Basic Skills Agency. She has worked on curriculum development with groups of teachers, consultants and teacher-educators. Her list of publications includes both research and research-based practical papers. Els' passion is to put research into classroom practice and vice versa, and to value, cherish and build on existing expertise and professionalism of teachers.

Anne Watson is Reader in Mathematics Education at the University of Oxford. Her interests include exemplification and task design in mathematics teaching and learning; the use of fine-grained approaches to analysis of mathematics interaction within socio-cultural perspectives; the role of mathematics education in social justice issues. She teaches PGCE Secondary Mathematics and leads a small group of Mathematics Education researchers who focus on mathematical thinking in school contexts.
