Japan-USA Co-Operative Research on Promoting Plans of New Academic Higher technolopgical Society

当今高科技社会的教育发展已经发生了变化。例如，许多有识之士指出，学生对数学和科学的回避可能会危及日本作为一个科学国家的基础。为此，日本数学教育学会、日本科学教育学会、日本教育技术学会等，我们举办了一些专题讨论会和研讨会，并呼吁许多研究人员、教师和家长与有识之士合作。另一方面，遗憾的是，目前学校所承认的学术能力已经过时，强调在完整数学的系统结构基础上掌握更高的策略和精确的技能。人们维护了它以及评估它的方法。结果，学校里教授的数学能力已经与我们社会所必需的数学能力分离了。国外近年来的数学教育改革，强调与重建经济和文化的社会需要相适应的数学能力，如“数学能力”，并根据这些需要组织实施国家课程。本项目提出日本的数学教育应采用“利用技术开发教材：图形计算器的功能”的方式，参考欧美国家的课程实施情况。为此，我们高度重视其文化背景的根源，注意本国文化的优缺点，将其发展为具体的数学内容，并提出未来日本数学教育应具备的新学术能力。

The educational eviropment of today around the hgigh technological society has changed. For instance, many knowledgeable people point out that students'saidestepping mathematics and science may risk our fortune on the fundation of Japan as a sientific nation. For these tasks, Japan Society of Mathematical Education, Japan Society for Science Education, and Japan Society of Educational Technology and so on, we have held some symposiums and seminars, and appealed to many researchers, teachers and parents in collaboration with knowledgeable people.On the other hand, the scholastic ability admitted in the current school is out of date and emphasized to master higher tactics and precised skills based on the systematics structure of completed mathematics, unfortunately. People have maintained it and the method for assessing it. As a results, the ability taught in school mathematics has been separating from the mathematical ability necessary for our society. In the recent mathematics education reforms of the foreign countries, it is emphasizied mathematical abilities which correspond to the social needs for rebuilding economics and culture, for example : "Mathematical Proficiency", and national curriculum based on these needs are organized and implemented.Our project proposes the way that mathematics education in Japan should be, as "Developping Educational Materials Using Technologies : Graph-Calculator for Function", reffering the curriculum implementing in the European countries and USA.For this, we take the roots of their cultural background as a matter of great importance, notice merits nd demerits of country-specific culture, develop them as concrete mathematical content and propose the new scholastic ability that future mathematics education in Japan shoul held.
