GeoGebra Book: Call for Chapter Proposals

The editorial panel of Model-centered Learning with GeoGebra: Theory and Practice in Mathematics Education invites submissions of chapter proposals. Contributions from instructional design researchers, mathematics educators (researchers, teacher-educators, mathematics teachers, mathematicians, etc.), educational technology researchers, and GeoGebra contributors are encouraged.

The book editors are Lingguo Bu and Robert C. Schoen.  For more information, contact the book editors at lbf04@fsu.edu or robschoen0307@gmail.com.  This book is part of the Modeling & Simulations for Learning and Instruction Series, edited by J. Michael Spector, Norbert Seel, and Konrad Morgan, and will be the first of its kind to review the theory and practice in GeoGebra-based mathematics instruction from a model-centered perspective, identifying current paradigms of effective instructional design and providing theoretical orientation for future research and development.

The target audience of this book will be:

1.      Researchers in instructional design and mathematics education who may conduct research in the integration of educational tech­nology and mathematics teaching and learning.

2.      Mathematics teachers who use or will use GeoGebra in their classroom practice.

3.      Current users of GeoGebra and other experts in technology-enhanced learning and instruction

4.      School administrators and mathematics or technology specialists interested in using affordable and sustainable instructional technology.

Prospective authors should submit a chapter title, outline, and abstract to the book editors on or before August 31, 2008.  Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by October 31, 2008. First full draft of chapter will be expected by March 31, 2009. This book is anticipated to be published by Sense Publishers in Spring 2010.

Chapter topics may be from, but should not be limited to, the following:

Theory and Framework for Using GeoGebra in Mathematics Education

1. Theoretical foundations of teaching and learning in a technology-integrated dynamic environment
2. Principles for creating and using dynamic GeoGebra worksheets and lessons
3. Using GeoGebra for motivational design, implementing Standards-based learning, and engaging in communities of practice
4. The role of GeoGebra in future mathematics education research and practice

Teacher Education and Classroom Use with GeoGebra

5. GeoGebra in teacher professional learning programs
6. GeoGebra in teacher preparation programs
7. GeoGebra: A classroom teacher’s perspective
8. GeoGebra: A mathematics student perspective
9. GeoGebra and distributed teacher support and professional development
10. Results of classroom experiences with GeoGebra at various grade levels
11. International perspectives on using GeoGebra in mathematics education
