Efforts of schools and universities in Ohio to improve the articulation between their programs in mathematics are described. The focus is on a junior-year testing program in the schools and a project to develop an electric course in mathematics for underprepared college-intending seniors. (MNS)

An investigation-based course on teaching strategies for in-service science and mathematics teachers has been developed. The purpose of this course was to learn how to teach science or mathematics from the constructivist perspective. The course development was based on constructivism, especially social constructivism. Major adjustments concerning…

A global survey was conducted by Unesco in 1986 on the place occupied by the teaching of science, mathematics, and technology, with the data indicating that mathematics and science are firmly entrenched in school curricula worldwide, but the place of technology is much more tentative. It was decided to probe more deeply into the adequacy of these…
