    Connecting Research with Communities through Performative Social Science

    A pioneer in Performative Social Science, Kip Jones makes a case for the potential of arts-based social science to reach audiences and engage communities. Jones contextualises both the use of the arts in Social Science, as well as the utility of Social Science in the Arts and Humanities. The discussion turns next to examples from his own work and what happens when Art talks to Social Science and Social Science responds to Art. The benefits of such interaction and interdisciplinarity are outlined in relation to a recently completed project using multi-methods, which resulted in the production of a professional short film. In conclusion, Performative Social Science is redefined in terms of synthesis that can break down old boundaries, open up channels of communication and empower communities through engagement

    Theoretical frameworks for the learning of geometrical reasoning

    No full text
    With the growth in interest in geometrical ideas it is important to be clear about the nature of geometrical reasoning and how it develops. This paper provides an overview of three theoretical frameworks for the learning of geometrical reasoning: the van Hiele model of thinking in geometry, Fischbein’s theory of figural concepts, and Duval’s cognitive model of geometrical reasoning. Each of these frameworks provides theoretical resources to support research into the development of geometrical reasoning in students and related aspects of visualisation and construction. This overview concludes that much research about the deep process of the development and the learning of visualisation and reasoning is still needed

    Chuck and Judith Jones, Oral History Moment

    No full text
    This is an audio recording of an Oral History Moment with Chuck and Judith Jones. An Oral History Moment is a small segment of clips from an oral history interview presented by a narrator. The interview was conducted February 23, 2016. The interviewer is Madsion Garcia. The script author is Abigail Johnson, and the narrator is Allan Folsom. In this interview, Chuck and Judith Jones discuss their respective careers in the medical field and their service in the Navy during the Cold War. Judith Jones was born in Waco, Texas on November 18, 1945. Judith Jones attended Shannon West Texas Memorial Hospital School of Nursing and became a Registered Nurse. She worked in the Houston Medical Center at the Methodist Hospital on the psychiatric floor. Throughout her career as a nurse, Judith worked at Baptist Memorial and M.D. Anderson in Houston, and, after returning to school and graduating from Texas Christian University in 1971, taught at Murray State College and the University of Texas Fort Worth. Chuck Jones was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee on June 14, 1948. Chuck attended college at Dallas Baptist University and then Baylor University. He attended graduate school at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. Following his graduation, he was hired for a traineeship at John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth, Texas. Chuck and Judith met in 1972 while Judith was working at the University of Texas Fort Worth School of Nursing and Chuck was completing his residency. On August 23, 1973 the two were married in Denton, Texas. After Chuck completed his residency, they moved to Alabama for two years so Judith could work towards her Doctorate in nursing. In 1980 both Chuck and Judith were commissioned in the Navy. Chuck worked for the first eight years with the 4th Marine Air Wing as an aviation medical officer, treating pilots in the F4 and heavy helicopter squadron. Judith assisted with active trainings during the summer and checked medical records to clear members of the Navy for exercises. During their service, the Jones’s visited the Mojave Desert, Camp Pendleton, and Cherry Point. Chuck participated in missions in the Philippines and was sworn into active duty during Desert Storm, where he filled in for surgeons who had been deployed overseas. Chuck left the Navy reserves in 1990 in order to care for their children. Judith conducted training programs in Charleston, South Carolina and later worked in fleet hospitals. Judith retired from the military in 2004 after 23 years of service. The couple joined the Marine Corps League following their service.https://lair.etamu.edu/scua-oral-history-all/1111/thumbnail.jp

    The shaping of student knowledge: learning with dynamic geometry software

    No full text
    The focus of this paper is a software genre usually referred to as ‘dynamic geometry’ because of the ability of the user to dynamically manipulate geometrical figures created with the software tool. Using data from a longitudinal study of 12-13 students’ use of dynamic geometry software, the focus of the analysis is on the interpretations the students make of geometrical objects and relationships when using this form of software. The analysis suggests that the students’ mathematical reasoning is shaped by their interactions with the software in that their ability to explain geometrical facts and relationships evolves from imprecise, ‘everyday’ expressions, through reasoning that is overtly mediated by the software environment, to mathematical explanations of the geometric situation that transcend the particular tool being used. Such findings suggest that curriculum initiatives that encourage the use of dynamic geometry software are appropriate but that the incorporation of such software into classroom practices is unlikely to be straightforward
