Aims of DE?
• Ultimately development education aims to develop critical thinking skills, analytical skills, empathetic capacity and the ability to be an effective person who can take action to achieve desired development outcome.
(Tormey, 2003).• It encourages students to compare development
issues present within their own countries to those experienced in other places throughout the world
(Regan, 2002).

It’s Part of Our Job!
• Teaching Council Code of Conduct:– Identifies cultural values, social justice,
equality and inclusion as core values of the teacher.
• Role of Education:– To make a fairer society.
Why Use Development Education?

The Evidence

The importance of DE
• McMorrow (2006) thinks that greater importance needs to be placed on highlighting the inequalities that exist in the world and the role we all play in causing or preventing such inequalities.
• Devine (et al., 2001) believes that teachers need to become more than mere subject experts and schools need to become ‘caring and nurturing institutions rather than focusing exclusively on academic attainment’ (p.6).
• Wade(1997) states that education should ‘prepare young people to meet the challenges and opportunities of the present world and to play a constructive part in shaping the world of the future’ (p.1).

Development Education in Ireland
![Page 17: Development Education](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051215/5681482b550346895db54dbf/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Irish Study: Development Education
• A study into Development Education was carried out on Irish secondary schools in 2007. – Shannon Curriculum Development Centre.– Curriculum Evaluation & Policy research unit, UL.Funded by Irish Aid
![Page 18: Development Education](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051215/5681482b550346895db54dbf/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Irish Study: Development Education
• 1,193 teachers were surveyed – 265 maths teachers(22.2%).– More mathematics teachers were
surveyed than any other subject (English 17.2%).
• 4970 students were surveyed. – 2,586 second years– 2,382 fifth years
![Page 19: Development Education](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051215/5681482b550346895db54dbf/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Irish Study: Development Education
• The Conclusions:– 84% of teachers have used
DevEd in the last five years– Students knowledge was quite
high in relation to DevEd with the average score over 50%.
– 96% of schools had organised fund raising for charities within the previous two years.
![Page 20: Development Education](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051215/5681482b550346895db54dbf/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Irish Study: Development Education
• Over 80% of teachers said they enjoy dealing with DevEd topics.
![Page 21: Development Education](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051215/5681482b550346895db54dbf/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Irish Study: Development Education
• Over 75% of teachers said they believed that the students were interested in DevEd topics.

BAD NEWS!

A Second Study
• 166 student teachers were surveyed after their block placement. (McCormack & O’Flaherty, 2006).
Results:• Only 4% of the student teachers surveyed believed their co-
operating teachers included development education issues in their teaching.
• Furthermore, of the 84% of teachers that said they have taught DevEd topics in the last five years…
• 77% of these teachers said the main resource
used when teaching DevEd was the text book.
![Page 25: Development Education](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051215/5681482b550346895db54dbf/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Conclusions• Teachers may only be including DevEd because of
its presence in the textbook.
• Mathematic teachers struggle to see where DevEd can be included in their classes.
• Main reasons for excluding DevEd were curriculum constraints, lack of time and little relevance to subject matter (McCormack & O’Flaherty, 2006).
• Haran & Tormey (2002) believe “Development Education should be about teaching ‘differently’ rather than teaching ‘more’.

Earthquakes
• The Richter Scale
– What is it?
– How was it constructed?
– Do people fully understand what the numbers on the scale represent?
![Page 31: Development Education](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051215/5681482b550346895db54dbf/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Earthquakes
• What is the difference between a magnitude 2 an magnitude 4 earthquake?
• Is it twice as strong?
• A magnitude 3 earthquake is 10 times stronger than a 2 earthquake.
• A magnitude 4 earthquake is 10 times stronger than a 3 earthquake.
• 10 x 10 = 100
• Great opportunity to introduce logs and indices.
![Page 32: Development Education](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051215/5681482b550346895db54dbf/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Benefits:The benefits of using DevEd to introduce
Logarithms and Indices:
• Understand how devastating high magnitude earthquakes are.
– Encourage students to consider how these natural disasters affect humanity.
• Excellent method of introducing a challenging concept.

Development Education In Short Courses
![Page 49: Development Education](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051215/5681482b550346895db54dbf/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
The Short Courses
• The Short Courses can:• Give us as math teachers, more room to be
creative and innovative with our ideas.• Present an opportunity to incorporate
Development Education with maths.• Allow teachers to take Development Education
outside the classroom and into the community.• Help educate the local community about
Development Education.

Can we find the percentage decrease of this species?
• Original number = 100,000• Current number = 2,708• Decrease of 97,292
• How can we represent this as a percentage?
97.23%

Giant Pandas
These animals have been classed asan endangered species for many years. Between1974 and 1977 a studied showed that therewere approximately 1,000 GiantPandas in the world.
Today there are an estimated 1,600.

Disadvantages
• Can reinforce negative stereotypes.
• Can leave the student feeling like they can’t make a difference.

• Not essential for every class but where it can be applied, it should be applied.
• Teaches holistically.
