THIS PAPER DESCRIBES A project conducted with the parents of children in early childhood classes from two different district high schools 1 . The project investigated the perceptions held by these parents in relation to mathematics education, and used an intervention program designed to encourage them to engage in numeracy activities with their child. Preliminary results indicated that, although the parents were not necessarily familiar with contemporary numeracy classroom practices, they were able to describe and evaluate their children's mathematical understandings. The findings add to the limited research available on the ways parents can support their child's mathematical education at home through encouraging home–school community partnerships. 1 District high schools in this context refers to rural schools with classes ranging from Kindergarten–Year 10.

This is a revised edition of a book first published in 1939 and written primarily for parents. It represents, in the author's words, "A point of view that has grown through the years." It deals with a variety of things with which parents are concerned in rearing their children—authority and freedom, punishment, discipline, truthfulness and lying, individual capacities and formation of attitudes. There is a section on the role of the home, school and community in the child's development. The radios, movies and comics are discussed in an unprejudiced manner. Throughout the book the author reveals a sympathetic understanding of children and their parents. Her "point of view" seems to this reviewer for the most part wise and useful.

Western European countries have made impressive gender equality (GE) progress in education during the last few decades. Unfortunately, the implementation of gender mainstreaming (GM) in higher education has not been satisfactory. This paper describes a survey-based research study designed to explore student teachers’ perceptions of training for GE in teacher education (TE) using the Sensitive Assessment for Gender Equality (SAGE) index. The study firstly aims to analyse the factor invariance across degree of the SAGE and secondly tries to describe the status of GM implementation in teacher education programmes from students’ perspectives. Data were collected from 398 student teachers (84% female) aged 21.44, enrolled on two TE programmes from a public higher education institution in the Autonomous Region of Valencia (Spain). Using single and multi-group CFA the study revealed that the proposed three-factor structure of the SAGE fitted well to early childhood and elementary school student teachers’ data, thus suggesting equivalence between its components in both samples. Early childhood students scored significantly higher than elementary school student teachers in their reported perceptions of gender equality training and awareness of gender inequalities. Results will be displayed in terms of identifying institutional and curricular needs for GE education practices as findings reveal a clear demand for change.

<p class="Default"><em>The problem of reading, writing and numeracy (calistung) for early childhood is a very dilemmatic phenomenon. At this time, many elementary school (SD) have a high standard of competence. Prospectif elementary students must take the test read,write,and numeracy to enter elementary school. Whereas learning in Kindergarden (TK) calistung only introduction. Kindergarden education program is more emphasized on the activity of playing as well a character building. The fact is, many kindergarden even play groups, especially in big cities have taught calistung and have a target to know calistung after they come out. This raises a polemic regarding calistung for early childhood.</em></p>
