Schluss mit PISA? Auf ihrem Gewerkschaftstag vom 12. bis 16. Juni wird die Bildungsgewerkschaft GEW auch darüber diskutieren, was von den PISA- und ähnlichen Studien zu halten und ob diesen zukünftig vielleicht sogar mit genereller Ablehnung zu begegnen ist. Telepolis sprach hierzu mit Wolfram Meyerhöfer, Professor für Mathematikdidaktik an der Universität Paderborn, der derlei "Vergleichsstudien" seit langem kritisiert und die gewerkschaftliche Auflehnung hiergegen wissenschaftlich fundiert und unterstützt hat. Wolfram Meyerhöfer: Ich habe ursprünglich versucht, mit Hilfe von PISA und ähnlichen Studien Wege zur Verbesserung von Schule zu finden. Das war, als wenn Sie ein Bild an die Wand hängen wollen: Sie schlagen dazu einen Nagel in die Wand und Schlag für Schlag bröckelt Ihnen die ganze Wand entgegen.

Geben Sie mal ein Beispiel! Wolfram Meyerhöfer: Ich habe den PISA-Mathematiktest daraufhin untersucht, ob dort, wie behauptet, "Mathematische Literalität" gemessen wird. Menschenmesserideologie.

Creating a Number Set Venn Diagram Poster | Reflections of a Second-career Math Teacher. As I prepare my classroom for the upcoming start of school, I have decided to create fifteen or so mathematics posters for display around the room. These will complement ten motivational posters I purchased and posted already. As I am not a classically trained mathematician, I want to make sure I do not erroneously depict the mathematics on the posters I create. One such poster, below, consists of a Venn diagram of number set types spanning the natural numbers to the complex numbers and including the integers, the rational numbers, the real algebraic numbers, the real numbers, and the imaginary numbers.

The counting, measuring, irrational, and transcendental numbers are also noted. My question for my PLN follows. Is this a proper depiction of the different number sets in mathematics? My classroom spans 9th grade algebra 1 students to 12th grade AP calculus AB students. Thanks for your help! [Tue 8/2/11 8:30 PM CST] Added revised diagrams further below based on feedback so far.
