Proceedings of the 2024 7th International Conference on Humanities Education and Social Sciences (ICHESS 2024)
This is an open access book. ICHESS started in 2018, the last five sessions of ICHESS have all been successfully published. ICHESS is to bring together innovative academics and industrial experts in the field of Humanities Education and Social Sciences to a common forum. The 7th International Conference on Humanities Education and Social Sciences(ICHESS2024) will be held on October 11-13, 2024 in Ningbo, China. This conference serves as a platform for the exchange of innovative ideas, cutting-edge research, and collaborative initiatives that address the pressing issues faced by our communities today. The overarching theme of this year's conference is "Bridging Traditions and Innovations," which underscores the importance of harmonizing classical perspectives with modern advancements to foster a holistic understanding of human behaviour, culture, and societal development. By facilitating dialogue and connections among diverse fields such as history, philosophy, sociology, education, and psychology, the conference aims to promote interdisciplinary research and enhance educational practices. Ultimately, the goal is to inspire actionable insights and foster sustainable solutions that contribute to societal well-being and global progress. This year's conference distinguishes itself from previous editions by emphasizing a set of unique and timely research themes designed to address the evolving landscapes of humanities and social sciences. One of the primary themes is "Digital Humanities and Society," which explores how digital technologies are transforming historical research, cultural preservation, and educational methodologies. Another significant theme is "Social Justice and Equity," focusing on contemporary challenges related to race, gender, class, and access to education, and fostering discussions on policies and practices that aim to create a more just society. "Globalization and Cultural Identity" is another key theme, examining the effects of global interconnectedness on local cultures and identities, and how these dynamics shape both individual and collective experiences in diverse societies. Additionally, "Sustainability and Ethics" invites scholars to delve into the ethical dimensions of environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and the role of humanities and social sciences in promoting sustainable development. Furthermore, this year's conference introduces a theme on "Interdisciplinary Approaches to Crisis Management," addressing the critical need for humanities and social sciences perspectives in understanding and managing global crises such as pandemics, economic instability, and political upheavals. By focusing on these distinct research themes, the conference aims to not only advance academic discourse but also inspire concrete actions that address the multifaceted challenges of our time.
Problem Posing and Problem Solving in Mathematics Education
This book presents both theoretical and empirical contributions from a global perspective on problem solving and posing (PS/PP) and their application, in relation to the teaching and learning of mathematics in schools. The chapters are derived from selected presentations in the PS/PP Topical Study Group in ICME14. Although mathematical problem posing is a much younger field of inquiry in mathematics education, this topic has grown rapidly. The mathematics curriculum frameworks in many parts of the world have incorporated problem posing as an instructional focus, building on problem solving as its foundation. The juxtaposition of problem solving and problem posing in mathematics presented in this book addresses the needs of the mathematics education research and practice communities at the present day. In particular, this book aims to address the three key points: to present an overview of research and development regarding students’ mathematical problem solving and posing; to discuss new trends and developments in research and practice on these topics; and to provide insight into the future trends of mathematical problem solving and posing.
Critical Issues in Mathematics Education
The word "critical" in the title of this collection has three meanings, all of which are relevant. One meaning, as applied to a situation or problem, is "at a point of crisis". A second meaning is "expressing adverse or disapproving comments or judgments". A third is related to the verb "to critique", meaning "to analyze the merits and faults of". The authors contributing to this book pose challenging questions, from multiple perspectives, about the roles of mathematics in society and the implications for education. Traditional reasons for teaching mathematics include: preparing a new generation of mathematics researchers and a cadre of technically competent users of mathematics; training students to think logically; and because mathematics is as much part of cultural heritage as literature or music. These reasons remain valid, though open to critique, but a deeper analysis is required that recognizes the roles of mathematics in framing many aspects of contemporary society, that will connect mathematics education to the lived experiences of students, their communities, and society in general, and that acknowledges the global ethical responsibilities of mathematicians and mathematics educators. The book is organized in four sections (1) Mathematics education: For what and why? (2) Globalization and cultural diversity, (3) Mathematics, education, and society and (4) Social justice in, and through, mathematics education The chapters address fundamental issues such as the relevance of school mathematics in people's lives; creating a sense of agency for the field of mathematics education, and redefining the relationship between mathematics as discipline, mathematics as school subject and mathematics as part of people's lives.
