Compelling Confessions: The Politics of Personal Disclosure is a
collection of essays whose shared purpose is to offer an accessible
interdisciplinary exploration of the social dynamics behind
confessional discourse. As various contributors to this collection
demonstrate, confession is ubiquitous in contemporary culture, not
only within psychological or therapeutic frameworks or literary
analysis, but also in internet discussion groups, in the criminal
justice system, in political rhetoric, in so-called "reality" and
interview-style television programming, in writing pedagogy and,
increasingly, in the testimonial strain observable in contemporary
scholarship. Yet, "telling one's story" raises questions, not only
about authorial intent or authenticity, but also about the
pressures disclosure can impose upon its audiences. Far less
ubiquitous than confessions themselves, as these contributors
suggest, are the critical tools that general audiences might employ
in order to better evaluate the rhetoric of personal disclosure. It
is, in fact, the shortage of such tools - responses and procedures
that could be stated plainly and implemented by any reader or
viewer - that Compelling Confessions sets out to address.
Mathematical manipulative materials (manipulatives) invite students
to explore and represent abstract mathematical concepts in varied,
concrete, tactile, and visually rich ways. Considering the
prominence of the use of mathematical manipulatives in current K-12
curricula, pedagogical resources and professional development,
research studies show that few secondary school teachers use them.
While these studies do not examine this issue from the teachers'
perspective, they posit that some teachers lack the mathematical
knowledge connected to manipulatives, are uncomfortable with or
uncertain how to use them, or do not believe that manipulatives
have value in the teaching of secondary school mathematics. This
study supports the notion that the use of manipulatives in
secondary school mathematics classrooms is influenced by teachers'
views and experience with manipulatives. It highlights some of the
challenges that teachers face, and supports from which they gain
confidence and competence in their efforts to integrate the use of
mathematical manipulatives into their teaching practice.
