The purpose of this study were to examine the relationship among the planning implementing and satisfaction on home education and the soundness of home life. The samples were composed of 629 parents(home educators) selected by family life cycle and local distribution. Consequently the findings of this study were that planning have a significant effect on implementing on home education. Also implementing have a more significant effect on soundness of home life than satisfaction on home education.

This paper presents a new sufficient condition for the oscillation of all solutions of difference equations with several deviating arguments and oscillating coefficients. Corresponding difference equations of both retarded and advanced type are studied. Examples illustrating the results are also given.

The paper focuses on a new 'learning ecology' that is evolving and the challenges that educators must confront. It looks at e-learning as not just another add-on, but a technology that is transforming our educational institutions. How teaching and learning is conceptualized and experienced to generate a determined community of inquiry that integrates social, cognitive, and teaching presence in a manner that will take full advantage of the distinctive assets of e-learning is discussed. Likewise, the possibility of mobile learning is put forward.

The increasing use of computers in mathematics and in mathematics education is strongly reflected in the teaching on Euclid geometry, in particular in the use of dynamic graphics software. This development has raised questions about the role of analytic proof in school geometry. One can sometimes find a proof which is rather more explanatory than the one commonly used. Because we, math educators are concerned with tile explanatory power of the proofs, as opposed to mere verification, we should devise ways to use dynamic software in the use of explanatory proofs.

Reflection has been of interest to educators as Dewey discussed it. Information about how teachers interpret and analyze their students' learning would help us understand difficulties in teaching and learning. Moreover, it can be useful for teacher education by improving teaching methods. In this study, I investigated four U.S.A. mathematics teachers in a middle school. In this paper, I discussed Assess instances among the teachers' reflections on their students' thinking and changes of the reflections as time went by.

Finding good ways to support the further development of mathematically gifted students is a challenge for all mathematics educators. Simply moving able students on more rapidly to the next level of traditional mathematical instruction seems to be a limited approach, while providing supplementary enrichment material or specialized mathematical software requires us to ensure that doing so is truly worthwhile for the students. This paper presents an approach that the author has used with students of diverse capabilities in both technologically advanced and developing nations investigating mathematical ideas using a spreadsheet.

The evolution of the function concept was delineated in terms of the 17th and 18th Centuries' dependent nature of function, and the 19th and 20th Centuries' arbitrary and univalent nature of function. According to mathematics educators' beliefs about the value of the function concept in school mathematics, certain definitions of the concept tend to be emphasized. This study discusses three types - genetical (dependence), logical (settheoretical), analogical (machine/equations) - of definition of function and their values.

Problem solving is an important aspect of learning mathematics and has been extensively researched into by mathematics educators. In this paper we analyze the difficulties students encounter in various steps involved in solving problems involving physical and geometrical applications of mathematical concepts. Our research shows that, generally students, in spite of possessing adequate theoretical knowledge, have difficulties in identifying the hidden data present in the problems which are crucial links to their successful resolutions. Our research also shows that students have difficulties in solving problems involving constructions and use of symmetry.

Web 2.0 is changing the paradigm of using the Internet which is affecting the e-learning paradigm. E-learning 2.0 based on the Web 2.0 has a bottom-up approach which learners work on content with social networking and collaboration in their own cyberspace. Second Life is presented as a new e-learning environment. - Flexibility, - Strong social networking, - Residents’ creative activities of Second Life ⇨ Unlimited potential to educators Second Life is a classroom built in 3D cyber space.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the attitudes of parents on home education and soundness of home life. The samples were composed of 629 home educators selected by family life cycle and local distribution. Consequently the findings of this study were that self-confident attitudes on home education have a significant effect on soundness of home life. Also soundness of home life depend on fathers participation in home education.
