About this book

"Mathematics Success and Failure Among African-American Youth goes beyond the conventional explanations of ability, socioeconomic status, differential treatment, and biased curricula to consider the effects of history, community, and peers - and the individual agency that allows some students to succeed despite these influences.". "This book will be useful and informative to many groups: mathematics education researchers, education researchers interested in the social context of learning and teaching, policymakers, preservice and in-service teachers, students, parents, and community advocates. It will also be of interest to readers concerned with multicultural education, cross-cultural studies of mathematics learning, sociology of education, Black studies, and issues of underrepresentation in science and mathematics."--BOOK JACKET.

L' éducation au Rwanda au temps des rois

Pierre Erny

Cet ouvrage propose un saut en arrière, à l'époque où il y avait un royaume remarquablement organisé, d'un très haut niveau de culture, mais dont les structures internes portaient déjà en germe les conflits qui ont éclatés au grand jour lors de la "révolution" de 1959. En une quinzaine d'essais, l'auteur montre ce qu'a été, "au temps des rois", l'éducation en ce petit pays de montagne, en ayant soin de la replacer dans son contexte écologique, économique, socio-économique, idéologique et culturel.
