Mathematics Education

Paper Summary:

This paper is a proposal for a study of mathematics education to determine the effectiveness of such teaching at the high school level and some of the methods used by the most effective teachers. It is assumed that their methods are variations on what they learned in teacher education altered by experience and not yet articulated as a different teaching method.

From the Paper:

"Mathematics education has been analyzed from many perspectives, but there is a need for ongoing studies of the process of teaching mathematics to assure that the educational system is working and that students are learning what they need, that the field is keeping up with the changing technological and scientific requirements involving mathematics, that the teaching is preparing students for the working world into which they will one day graduate, and so on. Mathematics testing is conducted at various times over the high school career of the average student and should provide an understanding of what students are learning and so whether the teaching methods followed by instructors are effective. Where there are lapses in terms of different mathematical concepts, teachers might adjust their methods to give added attention to these areas or to shift their method so something more effective."
