A STUDY ON MATHEMATICS EDUCATION FOCUSED ON MATHEMATICS IN SOCIAL CONTEXT

本研究的目的是澄清“社会情境下的数学教育”的问题，以改变儿童对“数学与我们的生活无关”或“我们不喜欢数学”的态度。作为这些儿童态度的背景，我们发现两点：第一，学校教师在数学课上不太重视实际问题，但家长认为向孩子传授数学的社会有用性很重要；其次，日本数学教材中的“纯数学”题较多，美国数学教材中的“真实世界”问题较多，英语教材中的“伪真实世界”问题较多，在此背景下，阐明了以下基本框架和问题。在处理现实世界问题的实验课堂上，孩子们生动地解决了数学问题。这意味着我们有可能改变如上所述的孩子的态度。在N个…中在更多的以太大陆，澳大利亚，美国和英国，有一些数学教科书包含了许多现实世界的问题。然而，英国数学家指出，根据数学应用或问题解决学习的侧重点，高中生在理解数学概念和掌握数学技能方面的数学能力有所下降。此外，各个领域的专家指出：日本的数学教育没有强调社会背景下的数学教育；人类部分和集体理性的理念与这种教育不谋而合；从总体科学的角度来看，数学自然与社会密切相关；通过地理滑板的学习，我们可以看到一种基本的数学活动。最后，我们构建了一个与数学内容相对应的问题情境清单，以使数学课程在社会内容上聚焦于数学。较少

objectives of this study is to clarify arucial points for considering "mathematics education focused on mathematics in social context", in order to change such children's attitudes as "mathematics does not relate to our life" or "we do not enjoy mathematics".As background of these children's attitudes, we found two points as follows : the first, school teachers do not treat so much practical problems in their mathematics lessons, but parents think that it is important to teach social usefulness of mathematics to their children ; the second, there are many "pure mathematics" problems in Japanese mathematics textbooks, many "real world" problems in American ones and many "pseudo-real world" problems in English ones.Based on this backgrounds, the following basic framework and issues were clarified. In experimental classroom lessons treating real world problems, children vividly tackled mathematics. This means that wa have possibility to change children's attitudes as mentioned above. In N … More etherlands, Australia, U.S.A.and UK,there are some mathematics textbooks that include many real world problems. However, mathematicians in UK pointed that mathematics abilities of upper secondary students were declined in terms of understanding of mathematics concepts and mastering mathematics skills, according to emphasis of application of mathematics or problem-solving learning. Furthermore, specialosts in each areas pointed out as follows : mathematics education focused on mathematics in social context has been not emphasized in Japanese mathematics education ; the ideas that human beings are partially and collectively rational coincide with this type of education ; naturally, mathematics closely relates to society in perspective of science in general ; and we can see a essential mathematics activity through learning by geo-board. Finally we constructed a list of problem situations corresponding mathematics content in order to make "mathematics curriculum focused on mathematics in social content". Less
