Developmental Studies of Mathematical and Scientific Literacy in the Developing Countries - Focusing on Social Context

本研究是教育发展领域的比较研究。它旨在描述和分析儿童在学校获得的数学和科学素养与学校周围的社会背景之间的互动关系。在本研究中，我们在总结前人研究成果的基础上，对语言和考试进行了研究。由此指出，不同的社会和时代对考试制度(考试制度作为教育和社会的一个节点)产生了巨大的影响。2010年11月，我们举办了一次国际研讨会，讨论研究成果，并邀请艾伦·怀特教授就数学教育和语言发表演讲。研究结果以报告形式汇编，并在我们的网站上公布。

This research is a comparative research in the field of educational development. It aims at description and analysis of interaction between the mathematics and science literacy which children acquire in school and social context surrounding school. In this research we paid attention to language and examination based on the result of the previous research. As a result, it pointed out that different societies and times made a tremendous impact on the examination system (Examination system as a node of education and society). In Nov 2010, we held an international workshop to discuss the output of research and invited also Prof. Allan White to talk on mathematics education and language. The result of the research is compiled as a report and it is made public on our web-site.
