Situaciones problemáticas para la enseñanza del área de regiones poligonales en los primeros ciclos de la educación básica. Introducción a la magnitud área y su medida.
Get PDFEl área de superficies planas representa gran complejidad para el aprendizaje de las matemáticas en los estudiantes colombianos. Las apuestas de enseñanza tradicionales no han logrado transformar los bajos niveles de logro mostrados por los estudiantes al enfrentar pruebas externas. Es necesario, pues, reflexionar sobre el diseño de nuevas propuestas de enseñanza que aseguren su aprendizaje. En este capítulo se presentan y caracterizan curricular, matemática y cognitivamente dos situaciones problemáticas diseñadas por un grupo de profesores que participaron en el programa de formación de profesores de matemáticas “Fortalecimiento de las matemáticas en la Educación Básica en Tumaco, Policarpa y Samaniego” financiado por la institución Save the Children. Una encaminada a la construcción del área como una clase de magnitud, la otra al estudio de la medida de cantidades de área. Para el diseño de estas situaciones se adaptaron y complementaron, con nuevos referentes conceptuales, los elementos expuestos en los lineamientos curriculares y Estándares de calidad en el área de Matemáticas

Inequality in China: a case study
Get PDFOver the past 30 years, China has substantially reduced the number of people living in absolute poverty. Moreover, during the past 10 years, the country has gradually
introduced social protection measures that target the poor and aim to prevent those who have already escaped poverty from dropping below the poverty line in the future. However, over time rising inequalities in multiple forms have increasingly become a threat to social harmony, the prospect of further growth, and the well-being of future generations. As China embarks on another period of reform, it must narrow the gap in income and wealth to pave the way for sustainable economic growth and social development. This can only be done by addressing the root causes of inequality in opportunity and outcomes, such as market distortions, abuse of public resources or power, and unequal access to good-quality public services. The first section of the Report examines the Chinese approach to development over the past 30 years, at the beginning of which absolute poverty was very common. This report argues that both the results and the means of poverty alleviation in China are significant. The second section summarises the emerging issue of various inequalities in
China, which include inequality in income, household expenditures, wealth and human
capital, also by region and gender. The following two sections examine the impacts of
various inequalities on the well-being of children, and the root causes of inequalities
respectively. Whilst absolute poverty is still a big issue in China, particularly in remote areas, addressing inequality has gradually become a more important item on the national development agenda. China has made some progress in tackling the immediate causes for rising inequality. In the final section, this report suggests that China should expand the development strategy by addressing the root causes of unequal opportunity as well as unequal outcomes.This report was commisioned by Save the children ChinaCopyright Information: 2014 Save the Children Internationa
Working with “Local Governance” in a Conflict Situation: The Experience of Save the Children Norway in Nepal
No full textThis paper describes the education-focused work of Save the Children Norway and its local partners in a district of Nepal that has been seriously affected by the country\u27s civil war. Schooling in rural Nepal, inadequate at the best of times, has been further challenged by the conflict, which has resulted in frequent closures and even lower attendance rates than usual. Schools are technically the responsibility of district education offices; in many parts of Nepal, however, local governance has become a contested domain. In the district described in this paper, the Maoist rebels have become the de facto local government, hostile to the facilities and services of the formal government structures. The paper describes the success of Save the Children Norway\u27s staff in supporting local communities’ efforts to bring rebels and district education officials together to improve educational opportunities for children in the area—an unusual and possibly unique development in this conflict-torn country
