Product Description
As the number of students with autism and behavioral disorders in the classroom increase, and classes move toward a more collaborative model, training general physical education teachers to work with students with disabilities has become essential. This excellent resource encourages future teachers to consider the individual before the disability and to focus on what learners can do, rather than what they cannot. Talented experts in the field discuss how physical and motor functioning are relevant to the Physical Education teacher as well as the Adapted Physical Education teacher. The book offers a detailed overview of all aspects of adapted education, from critical laws and mandates to disability coverage and modification for safe physical activity.

The Fifth Edition is a larger trim size (8.5”x11”) and features substantial content updates–including expanded coverage of autism, diabetes, obesity, legal mandates, teaching aquatic skills, and a new chapter on sports for the disabled–and offers case studies, learning activities, and practical suggestions/tips for new teachers.

Product Description
This book is unique. It gathers texts which give the bestpresentation of the principles and key concepts of the Theory ofDidactical Situations that Guy Brousseau developed in the period from1970 to 1990. These texts have been edited and organised so that theyprovide a comprehensive presentation of the Theory. Concepts such asdidactical contract, didactical variable and epistemological obstacleare presented in detail. At the heart of the book, one will find twoworks which demonstrate in detail the articulation between theoreticalwork and experimental research which is the source of the richness ofthe Theory. Although referenced by many research texts, up to now the originaltexts of Guy Brousseau were unknown, or known only with difficulty, inthe non- French-speaking world. This book is a response to thesedifficulties. In order to facilitate the reading of certain points, orelucidate them for the reader, footnotes have been added to theoriginal text, as well as preludes and interludes to place in contextthe chosen texts and clarify the construction of the book. Theory of Didactical Situations in Mathematics is of interestfor researchers in mathematics education, PhD students in mathematicseducation and mathematics educators. ... Read more

An important,necessary selection of pioneering articles.
Guy Brousseau articles covered in this book comprise one of the very significant contributions in this second half of the century to mathematics education. It is an important contribution towards the formulation of atheory to explore the 'phenomena that occur during the teaching ofmathematics'. This selection of papers will go a long way to help non-french speaking readers to approach not only Brousseau's work, but alsothe now wide and deep body of contributions of the French school of'didactique des mathématiques' to mathematics education as awell-established research discipline. The articles included cover some ofthe main concepts that Brousseau has dealt with durig the period 1970-1990.The conceptions of didactical situation, milieu, and different types ofdidactical contracts are shown and a careful reading will help to revealsome of the complex background from which these ideas developed. This is byno means easy reading, but then the subject might be one of the mostintriguing and, simultaneously,underestimated and oversimplified areas ofeducational research. Brousseau's work does not offer easy, run-of-the millrecipes to solve questions of learning mathematics. Instead it givesserious indications and contributions of a way toward meaningful research.This is a remarkable contribution even for those who do not share thephilosophy underlying some of 'didactique des mathématiques' theories. Theeditors have done good work, the preludes to each chapter constitute bythemselves a learned commented introduction to some of the notions andimportant points in the area.They are a welcome overview to help to putBrouseau's work in perspective. ...

A significant trend in teacher education is that of providing more clinical experiences for prospective teachers than was formerly the case, and offering them earlier in teacher preparation programs. This will help teacher educators acquire an understanding of the dimensions of clinical experiences and develop the ability to implement them in their unique situations. To facilitate this objective, the material included in this book combines significant research findings with current thinking regarding effective practice. This combination provides a base from which participants in clinical experiences can approach this important effort with competence and confidence. ... Read more
