Описание: Most education research is undertaken in western developed countries. While some research from developing countries does make it into research journals from time to time, but these articles only emphasize the rarity of research in developing countries. The proposed book is unique in that it will cover education in Papua New Guinea over the millennia. Papua New Guinea’s multicultural society with relatively recent contact with Europe and the Middle East provides a cameo of the development of education in a country with both a colonial history and a coup-less transition to independence. Discussion will focus on specific areas of mathematics education that have been impacted by policies, research, circumstances and other influences, with particular emphasis on pressures on education in the last one and half centuries. This volume will be one of the few records of this kind in the education research literature as an in-depth record and critique of how school mathematics has been grown in Papua New Guinea from the late 1800s, and should be a useful addition to graduate programs mathematics education courses, history of mathematics, as well as the interdisciplinary fields of cross cultural studies, scholarship focusing on globalization and post / decolonialism, linguistics, educational administration and policy, technology education, teacher education, and gender studies.

Описание:

This unique volume presents an ecocultural and embodied perspective on understanding numbers and their history in indigenous communities. The book focuses on research carried out in Papua New Guinea and Oceania, and will help educators understand humanity's use of numbers, and their development and change. The authors focus on indigenous mathematics education in the early years and shine light on the unique processes and number systems of non-European styled cultural classrooms. This new perspective for mathematics education challenges educators who have not heard about the history of number outside of Western traditions, and can help them develop a rich cultural competence in their own practice and a new vision of foundational number concepts such as large numbers, groups, and systems. Featured in this invaluable resource are some data and analyses that chief researcher Glendon Angove Lean collected while living in Papua New Guinea before his death in 1995.

Among the topics covered:

• The diversity of counting system cycles, where they were established, and how they may have developed.
  
• A detailed exploration of number systems other than base 10 systems including: 2-cycle, 5-cycle, 4- and 6-cycle systems, and body-part tally systems.
  
• Research collected from major studies such as Geoff Smith's and Sue Holzknecht's studies of Morobe Province's multiple counting systems, Charly Muke's study of counting in the Wahgi Valley in the Jiwaka Province, and Patricia Paraide's documentation of the number and measurement knowledge of her Tolai community.
  
• The implications of viewing early numeracy in the light of this book's research, and ways of catering to diversity in mathematics education.

In this volume Kay Owens draws on recent research from diverse fields such as linguistics and archaeology to present their exegesis on the history of number reaching back ten thousand years ago.  Researchers and educators interested in the history of mathematical sciences will find History of Number: Evidence from Papua New Guinea and Oceania to be an invaluable resource.

Описание:

Presenting a comprehensive examination of the historical origins and development of schooling and teacher preparation in Papua New Guinea (PNG), the authors explore the unique education history of PNG – starting from indigenous education in villages, the influence of European colonization and the role of missionaries in providing education, and the implications for education policies and practices.

Employing a thematic approach, the introduction provides an overview of the historical and cultural background of schooling and teacher preparation in PNG. Dedicated chapters then delve into specific historical periods, including the stage of conversion (1873-1945), the stage of gradualism (1946-1958), a growing nationalism (1959-1975), general education developments (1975-1992), teacher education developments (1975-1992), and developments to the present. Examining the education landscape during the respective period, highlighting key events, policies, and changes in teacher preparation, O’Donoghue and Mortimer utilise archival evidence, policy analysis, and historical narratives to present a comprehensive account of teacher education in PNG.

Teacher Preparation in Papua New Guinea places the historical analysis within a global context, drawing parallels between PNG's experiences and those of other colonial and post-colonial societies.
