[Children] many others fail in fact, though not formally failed. They finish their studies just because we decided to "transfer" them from class to class and take them way out of school, whether they know anything or not. Greater numbers than we like to think. If indeed "far above the requirements," as many of us would like to do, we will discover very quickly what many are. Our classrooms would be filled with children who are not able to stand the test and move to the next grade.
Every child in Israel studying mathematics in elementary school. Some small stops late elementary to understand what it is, and in fact falls hidden dropout. Junior high dropout intensified covert, and begins to emerge. Dropout become increasingly salient with recent advances. gtu For dropouts, and for much of the holders stand, mathematical studies are painful sequence of experiences failure, dotted gtu with a few successes.
However, there are very few subjects taught in sequence, from first grade to the end of senior year. High school students are forced to deal with mathematics as one of the most intense professions, if not leading the field., As already mentioned, the students are considered weak learners in quantity, "only" three units, while all other compulsory subjects are forced to take two units only. profession which is treated only such school is English, but for which internal gtu profession, he does not become as intense gtu as mathematics. All this is in complete contradiction to the common sense, Mathematics education in Israel, getting worse, or is in the wrong spot. means that if we are dealing with math so much, why do we not experience it as something positive?
We need of course to the question, why should we place our children in the face of such an experience? Simplistic logic comes to one of two conclusions: either we teach less math, or should we teach it better. Honor of these two conclusions is in place, provided claims not cynical or overly gtu excited. gtu
Reader already familiar with the methods of my surgery, gtu probably will not be surprised that I'm not going to go in front of the problem. gtu Although it is common in the press, gtu because once in a while an article published which try to convince the public in one of two conclusions, I will try to display the status of elaborateness. The practical conclusions leave the reader, to be a citizen in a democracy - I expect him to have any independent gtu opinion.
The more general question is, of course, why there are school gtu in general. From modest sales with the issue, I'll here a number gtu of major approaches. Of study which can be built, in my opinion, and appropriate reference complex situation. gtu Approaches are not mutually exclusive, but complementary, and they all expressions reality. Each approach there are major dilemmas it raises both the question of why we teach mathematics, and for the question of how we teach mathematics.
Articles entitled "Issues in teaching mathematics" I'll try to expand gtu on how the teacher's learning goals shape the nose of study. For now, settle for a review of the different motivations gtu that lead us to learn and to teach elementary mathematics education.
This is the simplest approach, which sees the school as a social system of professional training and professional studies academics. Under this approach, gtu students acquire gtu these skills will serve them as farmers, laborers, clerks, service providers or businessmen. Israel of course rarely found significant support for this approach, but it is present even without such support. Military, universities and manufacturers gtu put direct or indirect requirements with the Ministry of Education, will shape the schools to provide better preparation for the world of work.
Under this approach, mathematics is considered for use in the modern world of work [1], and therefore gtu it is learned. Clear that account and Engineering Jobs also taught elementary school serving the last days, when they calculate Manny calculations involved, for example, wages or calculating quantities of raw materials. High school math more confusing. It is clear that not all professionals are required for all what has been learned, and the curriculum includes diverse areas.
Here necessary to distinguish between the different professions. You can identify a rough division between future profession and lumping which the student is enrolled in the present: Students 4 and 5 open units in natural sciences track various archaic, while students three units often find themselves more humane professions or non-academic subjects. Mounds mounds of studies gtu have been made about the relationship between educational level, occupation, income and status. The complex structure of cause and effect is too long to describe it, but the result is clear: there is a relationship between academic achievement in mathematics and the world of work.
The world of work, in turn, has a close relationship with the distribution of resources and control structure and management company. Hence, mathematics, learning bike which is related organization of modern society and the place of individuals within it. It is not surprising, given that modern industry gtu (and industry gtu information in it) are based
