An Invitation to join us in our Sicily conference! Why?
First Sicily itself - the Greek, Roman, Arab and Norman history, half way
between Africa and Italy - the natural beauty and spectacular coastline -
the wine and food and hospitable people - the unique combination of culture,
cuisine and climate.
Second - the chance to meet mathematics educators from all over the world
(24 countries in our last conference) working at the frontier of innovation
and new ideas in mathematics education.
Third - after Cairo-Egypt, Amman-Jordan, Zajaczkowo-Poland, and Palm
Cove-Australia, a conference dedicated to meeting together and working for
the betterment of mathematics education world-wide. The title of the
conference suggests our shared commitment to implementing a Humanistic
Renaissance in Mathematics Education. This simply means working with and for
our students and fellow-teachers!
Fourth - a chance to find out more and work with the international
SuperCourse Project which has writers and writing teams world-wide to
produce what we hope will be super materials for students and teachers of
mathematics, in English, Polish, Italian and German!
Fifth - to meet, talk, work, eat and drink with friends and colleagues from
around the world in a relaxing and beautiful hotel-resort environment, with
one of the most spectacular views in the world, in an ecologically friendly
environment close to nature and the sea! To enjoy a full-day Excursion to
Monreale and to the beautiful temples of Agrigento.
Sixth - to participate in a programme specially designed to be useful and
practical. In addition to many varied and interesting papers and three
Plenary addresses by prominent mathematics educators, there will be
Workshops, small and personal Working Groups, and a whole afternoon devoted
to a Creative Forum of Ideas.
Seven - to see and discuss the most recent technology useful in the teaching
of mathematics. Douglas Butler will present a highly informative and
entertaining Plenary Address and on display will be our two sponsors CASIO
graphic calculators and AUTOGRAPH software, as well as Greygum, Epsilon,
VSG, and other helpful technology for the teaching of mathematics.
We hope to see you in Sicily,
Professor Fayez Mina and Dr. Alan Rogerson
Please find attached the Second Announcement of our conference, below is a
summary of the key features added from the First Announcement:
The conference programme in outline is:
Friday Sep 20: Arrivals, Dinner and Welcome Reception
Saturday Sep 21: First Working Day. Afternoon Open Forum of Ideas
Sunday Sep 22: All-day Excursion to Monreale/Agrigento and lunch. Dinner in
Hotel.
Monday Sep 23: Second Working Day
Tuesday Sep 24: Third Working Day and Gala Dinner
Wednesday Sep 25: Fourth Working Day, morning only, lunch and farewells.
The Conference Working Sessions will be a combination of separate:
? Plenary Speeches
? Paper Presentations
? Working Group Meetings
? Workshops
? Open Forum of Ideas
? SuperCourse Meetings for General Information and for Writers
Open Forum of Ideas
In our revised programme structure the first afternoon of the conference
will be devoted to an open "Forum of Ideas" in which all participants are
invited to display their materials and software in all languages in a
continuous exhibition throughout the conference area. This was the theme for
our very successful first day of the 2001 Zajaczkowo meeting so we are
repeating the formula! If you would like to exhibit/display in the Open
Forum of Ideas PLEASE bring with you as much material and software as
possible of yours or others (preferably visual) and we will provide space
for it. Please bring your own PC if you wish to display software. Posters
are also welcome. The objective of the session is to provide a smorgasbord
of the best things available around the globe in an open continuous session
that allows all participants to circulate and visit and talk to the
presenters that most interest them.
SuperCourse
The new International Innovative Project - SuperCourse - began work in 2001
and now has writing teams and writers throughout the world. Our First
International Conference for SuperCourse was held in June/July 2001 in
Zajaczkowo, Poland. Sicily 2002 will be the next opportunity for new
participants to find out all about this project and its future work.
SuperCourse writers attending will have an opportunity to meet, plan and
write in separate groups for English, Italian and possibly German versions.
Working Groups
Working Groups will be small and focussed on a specific Topic. To ensure
that this works well, in our revised programme structure all working group
sessions will be separate from the paper presentations, to the benefit of
both. This also means that we can have more working groups.
Invited Plenary Speakers
(1) Can Technology Save Classroom Mathematics?
Douglas Butler, Director, iCT Training Centre, Oundle School (Peterborough,
UK)
Mathematics as a school subject is in crisis. All over the world, the
shortage of mathematics
teachers worsens, and pupils are treating the subject with less and less
respect. Can technology
help to reverse this downward spiral? Can technology add a sparkle to the
mathematics classroom?
This presentation gives an emphatic yes, so long as governments do not think
for a moment that
technology can be used in any sense to replace teachers. Teachers are
essential to the process, to
lead and inspire the young. It is my view that the use of electronically
based lesson plans and
dynamic images as a routine part of delivery can make the subject more fun
to learn, and more fun
to teach. It is a long hope, but if the subject is made more visual, more
exciting and the learning
process made more effective in this way, the devastating processes described
above could yet be
reversed.
After graduating in Mathematics and Electrical Sciences at Cambridge
University, followed by a
spell with EMI Records, Douglas has specialised in secondary Mathematics. He
has served as
Head of Mathematics and then Head of Careers Education at Oundle School
(Peterborough UK),
and was Chairman of the MEI Schools project, a leading UK curriculum
development project, for 6 years. A keen pianist and dinghy sailor, he is
also the principal author of Autograph (PC version July 2000), and author of
"Using the Internet - Mathematics" (revised July 2000). He now combines
teaching with directing the new iCT Training Centre based at Oundle School.
This centre is creating new resources for the educational use of computers
in mathematics, and runs the TSM (Technology in Secondary and College
Mathematics) teacher training events all over the UK and overseas. He has
recently launched a new series of conferences on Technology for Teaching
Music, and for Science.
(2) Mathematics and its links with its History
Aldo Brigaglia - Professor in Complementary Mathematics, University of
Palermo.
His interests have been in the history of mathematics with particular
reference to Geometry.Also is a member of CIIM (The Italian Committee for
the Teaching of Mathematics), a section of UMI (Unione Matematica Italiana)
and is a founding member of the Journal "Lettera Pristem" (Bocconi
University of Milano), dedicated to the dissemination of mathematical
culture.He has interests also in the History of Science with reference to
the local history of Sicily and Palermo (History of the Mathematical Circle
of Palermo). He also works on problems regarding the teaching of
mathematics.
(3) Mathematics teachers and students: how to improve the human side of
their relationship?
Angela Pesci
Angela has her degree in Mathematics. She is Associate Professor of
Didactics of Mathematics in the Mathematics degree course at the University
of Pavia. Beyond that, she teaches at the "Scuola Interuniversitaria
Lombarda" for Secondary School teachers. Her research has always focused on
specific themes in mathematics education both at the middle and upper
secondary school levels and has always been developed in strict contact with
the current scholastic reality by means of continuous collaboration with
teachers in the field.
