Full Description
This volume, Advances in Mathematics and STEM Education: Incorporating Developments in Neuroscience, Brain Science and Neurodiversity seeks to widen understandings about mathematics and STEM education through a more holistic examination of the field. In some chapters this is achieved through the incorporation of advancements in Neuroscience, Brain Science and Neurodiversity, and in other chapters it is achieved through the sharing of research in schools with teachers or an exploration into individual experience, thinking processes and journey. This volume calls for engagement in research that synthesises research findings from different discipline areas to gain a more enriched and authentic understanding of Mathematics and STEM education, particularly regarding teaching and learning.
Contributors are: Nur Fatma Aktas, Tasos Barkatsas, Zahra Cooper, Yüksel Dede, Jason Dervish, Melanie Evangelista, Janine Forbes-Rolfe, Wendy Goff, Gürcan Kaya, Gillian Kidman, Huk Yuen Law, Timothy Lynch, Marta Martín-del-Pozo, Juanjo Mena, Rowan Nas, Antonio Patrocinio-Braz, Hazel Tan, and Bin Wu.
