U.S.-China Cooperative Research: Joint China-U.S.-Japan Seminar on Mathematical Program Solving, Shanghai, October 1993

9316888贝克尔该奖项表彰五位美国数学教育工作者参加美国-中国-日本联合举办的数学问题解决研讨会。研讨会将于1993年10月在中国举行。研讨会上的论文和讨论将涉及三个国家的问题解决研究的现状：学生在解决问题方面的表现比较，包括应用题和语言因素；在解决问题时建立数学模型；学生对解决问题和获得解决方案的过程的意识；职前和在职教师教育；在教/学解决问题中对学习的评估和评价；技术在解决问题中的应用；以及当强调解决问题和技术应用时，对数学教育目标的分析。将确定在解决问题方面促进教育成就的因素和问题。由于日本和中国的研究人员对问题解决研究有着浓厚的兴趣，并在该领域做出了重要工作，因此这次研讨会有望促进知识的进步。将在数学教育领域探讨日本和亚洲教育系统所取得的成功，为今后的合作和研究成果的交流提供基础。

9316888 Becker This award supports participation of five US mathematics educators in a joint US-China-Japan seminar on mathematical problem solving. The seminar will be held in China in October 1993. Papers and discussion at the seminar will deal with the present states of problem solving research in the three countries: comparison of student performance in problems solving, including word problems and language factors; mathematical model making in problem solving; students' consciousness of the processes which are used in solving problems and arriving at solutions; pre and in-service teacher education; assessment and evaluation of learning in teaching/learning problem solving; technology use in problem solving; and analyses of the goals of mathematics education when emphasis is placed on problem solving and technology use. Factors and issues that promote educational achievement in problem solving will be identified. This seminar holds promise for advancement of knowledge since Japanese and Chinese researchers have strong interests in problem solving research, and have produced important work in the area. The noted success of the educational systems in Japan and Asia will be explored in the area of math education, providing a basis for future collaboration and exchange of research findings.
