Transnational Synergies in School Mathematics and Science Debates

Viac o knihe

The book delves into the ongoing scrutiny of mathematics and science education, emphasizing national debates on excellence and equity that often overlook the arts. It examines the historical context and prevailing assumptions that link these subjects to workplace success and national competitiveness. By analyzing claims of declining student achievement across the U.S., New Zealand, Australia, and the U.K., the authors investigate how perceptions of a 'crisis' in these fields are propagated internationally. This work is essential for scholars engaged in mathematics, science education, and global education discussions.
