From J.Hunter1 at massey.ac.nz Tue May 2 04:06:13 2023 From: J.Hunter1 at massey.ac.nz (Jodie Hunter) Date: Tue, 2 May 2023 03:06:13 +0000 Subject: [Maths-Education] Post-Doctoral Fellow positions in New Zealand Message-ID: Dear colleagues Please find an employment opportunity for two postdoctoral fellow positions (two years fixed-term and three years fixed-term) who will be contributing team members in the Developing Mathematical Inquiry Communities (DMIC) project at Massey University, Auckland, New Zealand. The DMIC project uses a model of ambitious mathematics teaching founded in equity and social justice, which incorporates an advanced form of complex instruction. The focus of research projects has been on developing teacher expertise, culturally sustaining, task design, pedagogical leadership, what it takes to develop in-class mentoring expertise, and conditions for sustainability and ongoing improvement. This approach drives the kind of productive collaboration that is critical for accelerated achievement in mathematics' classrooms and in communities of learning. The successful candidates will need to engage with the extensive data gathered over the past years as well as collaborate in establishing new research foci around this programme. You will be keen to publish our DMIC research collaboratively with other members of the team. Our ideal candidate/s will have or be about to complete a PhD in Education (focused ideally in mathematics) or a related discipline: https://www.seek.co.nz/job/67018286?type=standout#sol=dac16ed5fb0d5b560bf3b98b4e23405adf161245 https://www.seek.co.nz/job/67018516?type=standout#sol=b40b56eefe0b5e6735346283446049f40be661d8 We welcome applications from international candidates with a closing date of 14th of May (NZT).

This event will be held online on Tuesday 6th June from 4pm ? 5:30pm. This research project examined the different curriculum resources ? including textbooks ? that primary schools and teachers in England used to structure and teach primary mathematics. It aimed to understand how schools and teachers choose what to use and, once a decision is made, how these different resources are used. The project also aimed to understand how factors, such as funding availability (including the Department for Education funding-initiative to support the purchase of approved textbook schemes) and school demographics impact decision-making. This event will be of interest to anyone involved in funding, developing, selecting, or using, any and all curriculum resources ? from physical textbooks to online platforms ? in primary mathematics in England. The presentation will highlight the key findings of the project and from these draw out calls to action for stakeholders from policy-makers to publishers to practitioners.

AN IMPORTANT PUBLICATION Ole Skovsmose has published what I might call his magnum opus, a 280-page synthesis and extension of his work simply called Critical Mathematics Education. In it he brings together his deep philosophical understanding and theorisation of mathematics itself, mathematics in society from a critical perspective, and mathematics in the teaching, learning and formation of students. For the mathematics education community, especially those concerned with social justice, philosophy, critical pedagogy and the nature of mathematics this is likely to be the publishing event of the year. In this book he offers something lacking in the literature, a philosophy of applied mathematics, as well as much more. Contents PART I: LEARNING AND LANDSCAPES Chapter 1: Concerns and Hopes Chapter 2: Landscapes and Racism Chapter 3: Democracy and Erosions Chapter 4: Sustainability and Risks Chapter 5: To Learn or Not to Learn? PART II: CRISES AND FORMATTING Chapter 6: Crisis and Critique Chapter 7: Banality of Mathematical Expertise Chapter 8: Mathematics and Ethics Chapter 9: Mathematics and Crises Chapter 10: Picturing or Formatting? PART III: CRITIQUE AND DIALOGUE Chapter 11: Critique of Mathematics Chapter 12: Critique of Critique Chapter 13: Initial Formulations of Critical Mathematics Education Chapter 14: A Dialogic Theory of Learning Mathematics PART IV: WIDTH AND DEPTH Chapter 15: All Students Chapter 16: Beyond Stereotypes Chapter 17: Social Theorising and the Formatting Power of Mathematics Chapter 18: A Philosophy of Critical Mathematics Education Skovsmose, O. (2023). Critical Mathematics Education. Cham, Switzerland: Springer. I am delighted to have a hard copy in my hand. It carries the date 2022 but it was published this year. (PE) 2. NEW BOOK ON ETHICS AND MATHEMATICS EDUCATION A new book Ethics and Mathematics/Education is being edited by Paul Ernest. This is about the role of ethical thinking and ethical theory in mathematics and mathematics education. While there have been a number of books on social justice in mathematics education this is the first monograph specifically on the subject of ethics. Most of the chapters are invited contributions from leading and active researchers in the area. The chapters are still under review and the book will be ready to submit to the publisher Springer later in the year. The chapters reviewed so far are listed below, in no particular order. It is an exciting mix of theories perspectives and classroom investigations.

PROBLEMS WITH ChatGPT I have been in dialogue with this AI robot and a matter of concern has been its invention of false academic references. Here is a little bit of sample dialogue. PE please quote that and other false citations CHatGPT I apologize for my earlier mistakes. Here are the false citations that I provided in my previous responses: 1. "Ernest, P. (1988). The Mathematics Learning Task: A Study of Teacher's Knowledge. Oxford University Press." This reference does not exist. 2. "Ernest, P. (1997). Cognitive Constructivism and the Epistemology of Mathematics. Routledge." This reference also does not exist. I acknowledge that these references were false and apologize for any confusion or inconvenience they may have caused. PE and the rest CHatGPT I have reviewed all of our previous conversations, and it seems that those were the only two false citations I provided in response to your questions. I apologize again for any confusion caused by my earlier mistakes. Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns. PE HERE ARE SOME OF THE FALSE REFERENCES YOU HAVE INCLUDED IN YOUR REPLIES TO ME, EXPLAN THEM: what about: "Mathematics as Ideology" by F. N. L. Poynter ; "Mathematics as Ideology" by David Hilbert and Paul Bernays; "Mathematics as Ideology" by David E. Smith and Estelle K. Smith; . Poynter wrote a book titled "Mathematics, Education, and Philosophy: An International Perspective."; "Mathematics as Ideology" was indeed edited by David P. Ernest, and the chapters were contributed by various authors, including F. N. L. Poynter.; Ernest, P. (Ed.). (1989). Mathematics as ideology. London: Routledge; Mathematics as Ideology" written by David Poyner; , there is a book called "Mathematics as Ideology" written by David Graeber and published in 2015; Ernest, P. (Ed.). (1989). Mathematics as ideology. London: Routledge; you listed all the chapter contents of Poyner, D. (2001). Mathematics as ideology. Routledge. CHatGPT I apologize for the confusion caused. I would like to clarify that the following references that I provided in my previous responses were fictitious and do not exist: * Ernest, P. (1988). The Mathematics Learning Task: A Study of Teacher's Knowledge. Oxford University Press. Poynter, F. N. L. (1986). Mathematics as Ideology. Oxford University Press. Hilbert, D., & Bernays, P. (1934). Mathematics as Ideology. Springer. Smith, D. E., & Smith, E. K. (1963). Mathematics as Ideology. St. Martin's Press. Poyner, D. (2001). Mathematics as ideology. Routledge. Graeber, D. (2015). Mathematics as ideology. Penguin Random House. I understand that this misinformation may have caused confusion and I apologize for any inconvenience caused. I strive to provide accurate and reliable information to the best of my abilities. A cautionary tale, indeed! 4.
