PATE, ROBERT T.; SLOAN, FRED A. – 1964
TEACHER-STUDENT INTERACTIONS WERE STUDIED IN (1) A TRADITIONAL MATHEMATICS PROGRAM, AND (2) A NEW MATHEMATICS PROGRAM BASED ON PROCEDURES ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROCESS OF DISCOVERY AND INQUIRY AND THE USE OF SYMBOLIC LOGIC. FORTY CLASSES OF REGULARLY ENROLLED FOURTH-GRADE STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN THE STUDY. DURING OBSERVATIONS OF EACH CLASS, THE…

Bartolini Bussi, Maria G. – 2000
This paper discusses some findings of research studies developed in Italy on the approach to theoretical knowledge. Two examples are discussed in detail: (1) a classroom discussion concerning the shift from an empirical to a theoretical compass in primary school (fifth grade); and (2) the scheme of a teaching experiment on overcoming conceptual…

REPORTED ARE THE TENTATIVE VIEWS OF A GROUP OF MATHEMATICIANS ON THE CONTENT OF A PRE-COLLEGE MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM THAT MIGHT CONCEIVABLY REPRESENT THE TYPE OF PROGRAM WHICH WILL BE OPERATING IN A FEW DECADES. THE COMMITTEE PRESENTS ITS VIEWS, NOT AS A CURRICULUM GUIDE FOR ADMINISTRATORS AND MATHEMATICS EDUCATORS, BUT AS A BASIS FOR DISCUSSION,…
