14:34 09/05/2019
Abstract: Math education associated with practicality is an important requirement in comprehensive innovation in teaching mathematics towards developing learners’ ability. The paper explores the scientific basis, proposing a measure to implement mathematical education linked to practicality and illustrate via a number of math teaching situations in high school.
Keywords: Mathematics, practicality, math education, students, teachers.
3. EPISTEMOLOGICAL PARALLELS BETWEEN SCHOOL-MATHEMATICS AND PHYSICS
14:26 09/05/2019
Abstract: What is mathematics? This question is answered very differently. This article shows that school mathematics has epistemological differences to modern university mathematics. One important difference is that school mathematics is ontologically bound to reality whereas modern mathematics has detached itself from it. Due to this empirical character, school mathematics can be described as a quasi-natural science. The article discusses epistemological parallels to physics and the possibilities for collaboration between mathematics and physics education research.
Keywords: Interdisciplinarity, Mathematics, Epistemology, Nature of science, Teacher Training.
