Primary teachers’ professional development about mathematics assessment using tabletop games
Boardgames and tabletops are used in primary schools, but only as ludic tools and not as assessment practices [1]. Preliminary results from a project for primary teachers’ professional development are presented. The project is aimed at teachers’ professional development in terms of their assessment practices in mathematics teaching and learning. The project is based on the use of the tabletop game “Shut the box”. A small group (N=12) of teachers is collaborating with researchers in elaborating assessment tools, while a larger group of teachers (which includes the smaller group) is using these tools and will provide individual feedback about them. This is a research method aims on teachers’ improvement with training and research collaboration [2]. Teachers’ beliefs about mathematics teaching and assessment are studied through a questionnaire (N=130). Here, we present the results of the administration of this questionnaire showing a relation between teachers’ beliefs about educational use of tabletop games and their beliefs about mathematics teaching and assessment
Automatic Detection of Parkinson's Disease with Connected Speech Acoustic Features: towards a Linguistically Interpretable Approach
H+/glycyl-L-proline cotransport in brush border membrane vesicles of eel (Anguilla anguilla) intestine
A plasma membrane H+-glycyl-L-proline (Gly-L-Pro) cotransport mechanism has been identified in isolated eel intestinal brush-border membrane vesicles (BBMV) by both measuring radiolabeled Gly-L-Pro uptake and monitoring Gly-L-Pro-dependent H+ influx with the pH-sensitive dye acridine orange. The application of an inside negative membrane potential resulted in increasing Gly-L-Pro uptake, as well as the application of inwardly directed H+ gradient (although only when an inside negative membrane potential was present). Furthermore, vesicular H+ influx was found specifically associated with the presence of Gly-L-Pro in the extravesicular medium. The carrier-mediated nature of H+-Gly-L-Pro cotransport was assessed, and its concentration that yielded one-half maximal Gly-L-Pro influx was similar to 1.30 mM when measured by either radioactive or fluorescent tracers. Different dipeptides strongly inhibited Gly-L-Pro uptake by eel intestinal BBMV, as well as the cephalosporin antibiotic cephalexin, suggesting that dipeptide molecules and cephalosporin antibiotics may share a common transport system in eel intestinal BBMV
PRESCHOOL CHILDREN’S REPRESENTATION OF DIVISION WORD PROBLEMS THROUGH DRAWINGS
Research has shown that preschool children can make sense of multiplication and
division situations. However, researchers suggest that sharing is the most intuitive way for young children to solve division problems using manipulatives. Starting from the hypothesis that drawing might be another means by which young children can
represent division situations, we conducted a task-based interview with a small group of Australian and Italian 6-year-olds about measurement and partitive division situations. Results indicate that the children could interpret both types of division and their drawings and gestures captured the strategies used. We contend that children’s drawings capture their thinking more effectively than their use of manipulatives
