School Mathematics Curricula

Asian Perspectives and Glimpses of Reform

Herausgegeben: Vistro-Yu, Catherine P.; Toh, Tin Lam

Beschreibung

This book sheds light on school mathematics curricula in Asian countries, including their design and the recent reforms that have been initiated. By discussing and analyzing various problematic aspects of curriculum development and implementation in a number of East and South Asian countries and offering insights into these countries' unique approaches to supplementing school mathematics curricula, it contributes to shaping effective policies for implementation, assessment and monitoring of curricula. The book covers a wide range of issues: curriculum design, localization of curricula, directions of curricular reforms, mathematics textbooks, assessment within the curriculum and teachers' professional development, which are of interest to a wide international audience.
