Mathematics Education in Africa: The Fourth Industrial Revolution
Editat de Brantina Chirinda, Kakoma Luneta, Alphonse Uworwabayehoen Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 noi 2023
This book is about mathematics teaching and learning in Africa during the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) has evolved to utilize new technologies in the teaching and learning of Mathematics. It is characterized by the fusion of the biological, physical and digital worlds and embodies a new era of innovation in mathematics education, leading to the rapid emergence of new technologies for mathematics teaching and learning. Because 4IR in mathematics education is happening differently in various parts of Africa, the authors of the various chapters in this volume have positioned their work in their respective local contexts. The chapters address a wide variety of interests, concerns, and implications regarding 4IR and Mathematics Education in Africa. Additionally, a number of chapters address teaching mathematics in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic that has gripped the world. Other chapters discuss the implications of inequalities in Africa that effect mathematics education during 4IR. Chapters also incorporate arguments, observations, and suggestions to, improve and transform the teaching and learning of mathematics in Africa during the 4IR.
This book highlights a new era of innovation in mathematics education in the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, leading to the rapid emergence of new technologies in mathematics teaching and learning. It is a valuable resource for graduate students, people with research interests in the fourth industrial revolution and mathematics educators at any level, including all mathematics teachers; mathematics education curriculum designers and policymakers.

Recenzii
“The book is a valuable window into modern mathematics education in Africa … . It also serves as a mirror to the Global North reflecting the deleterious impact of colonization. … Mathematics Education in Africa: The Fourth Industrial Revolution is potentially of interest for any mathematics educator who feels that they and their students were unique in experiencing the devastating effects … . Not only mathematics educators and researchers but policy makers as well will benefit from this book.” (Jennifer T. H. Hylemon, Educational Studies in Mathematics, Vol. 115 (!), 2024)
