Globalization in mathematics education: Integrating indigenous and academic knowledge

A globalized world ask for mobilization of educators in view of the design of new curricula. Investigation and analysis of indigenous knowledge are needed in view of their possible integration with academic knowledge, to create an educational context where different cultures are equally valued and granted dignity. The investigation and the analysis are to refer also to mathematics, a discipline which cannot anymore be considered culture-free. In the paper, we try to give the readers the opportunity to ask themselves and answer the following questions: What is mathematics? How look like today’s classrooms? Which is the needed mathematics education? The author suggests a possible answer to the last question by the proposal of three teaching units originated by the analysis of examples of the mathematics of professionals, the mathematics of indigenous people, the history of mathematics Introduction

Fostering the importance of language awareness through CLIL-Mathematics teaching/learning

This contribution investigates the role played by a second language in teaching/learning mathematics and how it could strengthen the importance of natural language in mathematics. It is particularly significant to deepen this issue since many European Countries have already introduced or are going to introduce the Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) methodology. CLIL pursues a dualfocused goal promoting at the same time teaching/learning of both a foreign language and a non-linguistic content. This new trend in education asks for analysing limits and potential for using a second language in mathematics education

Rediscovery of a species considered to be extinct in the Pollino massif (Calabria, Italy): Erebia gorge (Hübner, [1804]) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)

After about 40 years, the presence of Erebia gorge (Hübner, [1804]) has been reconfirmed in the Pollino massif (Calabria, Italy). In July 2019, two specimens (1 ♂ and 1 ♀) were captured in the zone of Monte Pollino cliffs on the east face of the massif at a height of 1990 m. Given the isolation of the population at the southernmost limit of the species’ range, and the fact that this population is seriously threatened by global climate change, it would be of great value to conduct an exhaustive study of the distribution of the species throughout Pollino and of the genetic characteristics of this local population that could differ substantially from other Italian and European populations

Web-Based Assessment of the Phenomenology of Autobiographical Memories in Young and Older Adults

Autobiographical memories (ABMs) produce rich phenomenological experiences. Although few standardized and comprehensive measures of the phenomenology of ABMs have been developed, a web-based assessment of the full range of phenomenological properties is still missing. In the present study, we aimed to fill this gap and tested the psychometric properties of a web-based version of the Assessment of the Phenomenology of Autobiographical Memory (APAM) in a group of young and older adults. Specifically, taking advantage of the flexibility of web-based assessment methodology, we tested the rating consistency of APAM items, asking participants to rate the phe-nomenology of their ABMs with respect to seven cues, administered in one per day in seven different days. In each session, we also collected ratings of mood and arousal. Using linear mixed modeling (LMM), we could examine whether the phenomenology ratings differed with respect to age group while controlling for sex, age of the memory, arousal, mood, and specificity of the memory. Results revealed an adequate level of consistency of ratings in both young and older adults. Moreover, LMMs revealed a more intense experience of recollection and reliving (i.e., sensory and emotional) and a higher confidence in memory accuracy in older compared to younger adults. The theoretical and practical usefulness of a web-based assessment of the phenomenology of ABMs are discussed
